I think all you guys are losing it. Come on how many times should an idea be repeated before you all go, wow! You are doing more harm than good by saying nice things about this campaign.

ok. the idea isn't completely new. but then again, there's maybe 3 totally novel ideas each year, so unless we won't talk about advertising a lot, we should be pleased by above-the-average ads.
also I like the art direction on this one.
which brings me to what I don't like about it. they could've think of better situations/job couples. this one for instance works only on the surface (a blade vs. a blade), but there surely are some examples where the metaphor goes deeper.

haha this idea of monster.com had also shown as a tv ad in hong kong.
the funniest thing is the next guy immediately wiped out the shaving cream when he saw this.

wow! all those people agree on that...there's something that smell here.
and nobody knows from which agency it comes from...

just to be different, the old good strategy "being caught in the wrong place" is....old.
easy way man. I bet it will never win anything.

Good Photography.
Good Art.
The idea is ok, nothing new or awesome, just correct, that's all.
I don't understand so many excitement about this ...

Well, thats my opinion,
my humble and not necessary unfalible opinion.

Cheers

Pacific Blue hit all the nails on their heads there.

I agree.

We're going to need more lube.

I really like these but I think for example it's made obvious by giving the guy a chef's uniform. I think just the knife would have been enough.

nice photography/retouching (mostly the retouching). i have a feeling this look is going to get old fast, but it works for now. other than that, the idea is a little weak.
