Nice.
The fact that the agency is from Germany, make it more interesting.

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

This is not the same idea. The only thing they have in common is the message "Our product changes your appearance" - which is likely to be a optician's or a hatseller's message. But Hitler and Chaplin actually existed and the style is totally different.

Great message - A hat can turn you into a different (better) person.

Signe_S's picture 355 pencils

genious! but can you make a number 2?

Have Heart's picture 922 pencils

Am I the only one who's bored by the constant Hitler/Chaplin idea-rubbish?! Amd who makes ads for a hat-store???! And even the artwork is stolen:

wearmysocks's picture 1032 pencils

That's definitely the same visual, but a vastly inferior ad.

lol... Like if there is any new idea in the world...

JoBeeOne's picture 21 pencils

Charlie himself made fun of this comparison, and made his position quite clear on the silver screen. A nice idea, not entirely original, but what is these days.

LadyOfTheFlowers's picture 2 pencils

You know what?
I'm from Germany and nearly everyone here is really upset because of this ad... The idea is good..but I'm not sure whether I should laugh or be scared about it, the past is nothing to make fun about and the fact that Hitler is used as an advertising figure is really sick..

postman's picture 961 pencils

Warum sollte man Hitler den "Respekt" erweisen, ihn nicht als Werbefigur einzusetzen?

Why should Hitler be "honoured" by not using him as an advertising figure?

neetal's picture 16 pencils

i liked the hat one more than the glasses one..
it's more neat and elegent.

neetal's picture 16 pencils

I wonder how they got this to finally make it into a print.
In Belgium we allready cause a riot when we want to broadcast a tv-show about A. Hitlers favorite dish!
But I like it a lot!

Stolen execution and a borrowed concept. NO GO!
