Land Rover: when it comes to advertising, learn from Volkswagen. I get the idea here; just don't find it particularly funny.

Ah, here you are again. The ad is funny, not hilarious. Agree on Volkswagen, they're #1 when it comes to advertising.

The use of gorillas or monkeys as funny "objects" in advertising is old and trite. I also think that most of these recent Land Rover images (ads) are a trifle silly. I would assume that Land Rover's target audience is mostly men, aged 35 and above, who make at least $100K. Would they appreciate this type of "humorous" advertising? I'm not so sure. Reminds me of Peugeot's Service 5+ campaign, equally silly.

a monkey driving the car, from another Ad :))

I find the ad amusing and pretty, but that's about it

Portfolio * Myspace * Facebook
i can't even spell my name without 'ad'

good imaginary content, could fix a lot of history behind this, superb for movie story with this being the final + packshot.

Nice idea...but a bad execution. The monkey's picture is dramatic, the hand's is not. And there is a light on the right part of the bananas I think it's not possible to be there.

In my opinion, it's easy to see it's fake.

Great concept, but the key camouflages whit the skin of the gorila. Maybe thats the only "but" haha

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working

No need for the keys.

satrianee's picture 3782 pencils

without the keys it's totally a different story... Here the driver is not enjoying himself feeding the prince kong. He is just trying to get his keys back.

shadow's picture 485 pencils

No x 1000. the kong's pic is totally different from the banana's...and I didnt even see a key until I read comments. bad ad.

thedesignaddict's picture 4341 pencils

So, are you saying you prefer it with the keys - or without?

silvi's picture 4174 pencils

basic idea. sorry

pepsiice's picture 253 pencils

I've seen this one before. I just can't remember where.

Spoonfeederxxx's picture 643 pencils

Let me guess...

The ape was tired of playing his drums and decided to steal a car instead...

in the name of ad's picture 456 pencils

yes, remind me of a pepsi ad too... but the art direction is far better on the pepsi one.

Yes, it looks like PEPSI!

matrix4u's picture 19 pencils

good!!! it shows that the Landrover can go easily in the jungle and the gorilla can take the keys equally easily...i wish the Keys were made more prominent, something like bananas.......
