"I love some things, and don't love some other things."
Double wow.......
whats wrong with this SIrvan? maybe u don't like it but its quite new. And obviously u don't take new as serious.
it is very good ad.
Really?
Dude, this is an old old old campaign strategy: "going to great lengths to get product X".
In this case, the product is a cat treat. And so, the brilliant creative minds behind this ad decided to have the cartoon cat risk his life in order to get the treat. Why? Because the treat is so good!!!!
If you think this is breakthrough advertising, you've got problems.

It is old strategy? Oh sorry I forgot that there are millions ads in this world carrying
the message of exaggeration of behavior in order to get the product.
But thats a problem with this business in general. What u just said is applicable to any ad in the world.
Lets say the grand prix of cannes (samsonite, heaven and hell) with ur way of understanding would be,
old strategy of showing the strength of a product placed in unusual condition such as hell.
Sirvan my dear u know better with ur number of pencils that we judge much
more than just strategy behind. There is execution, which improved lately quite more than
strategy in our business. Take a look of cannes so u will see.
The new thing in this series is the WAY of showing this "old strategy".
Winner: Sirvan. But well fought, corbeen. a worthy opponent.
triple wow.
//usevertising v.s badvertising//
C'est une question de vie ou de mort.
I like this. It made me smile.
I like it too. Has lots of potential too.
Don't show this for children!
Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!
There was an ad on tv few eyars back, cat going thought hell and water to get the treat. That was funny, this is so-so funny. It is nice to look at and maybe gigle but canes for this? really?
because therefore it is
Forced ad. Kitchen knives are not supposed to place like that.
agreed
This campaign looks cute to me, and I totally agree that the great execution.
But won a Canes that I dont understand.
Dream needs to be big!
i liked all the ads..
good artwork. but?
My fav. out of the 3.
THERE'S NO HEAVIER BURDEN THAN A GREAT POTENTIAL
good
Well well well, here we go again with the question of 'borrowed art' / 'inspiration' / 'plagiarism / theft' and the nineties' most wonderful Simon's Cat: http://www.simonscat.com/Films/Fly-Guy ; far be it from anyone to say "that cat with its tongue out, they totally stole it from Simon's Cat, like they're totally thieves!"
I would lose one of my many Simon's Cat badges to defend these Brazilian thieves, if they ever had the balls to deny stealing this idea, and others in the series, those thieves, hang on, that might be two.
Okay, seven left.
Agency? Your call.
8 lies left.
