Out of the 3, this has the best visual impact .Couple of minor details could have been improved with respect to art direction. The BUILDING on the left does not help to earn much respect, since the concept revolves around 'commanding respect'. The LIGHTING in photography and the COMPOSITION could have been much better on all 3 ads.

While I don't doubt that this idea has been done before, I haven't seen it and would like a link if anyone has one (particularly the folk who say that this has been done loads before). I like the idea and the simple visual gives this ad the right tone of voice. This maybe a recycled idea but it's still useable...unlike toilet paper. Once that's done, it's DONE. C'mon people it's friday! crack a smile/beer/whip/one off/please?

Doin' it for the points

This is a great idea, but it was done for Harley Davidson about 10 years ago.

Yep, Harley already did it. Way to go, DDB.

Hey, Disco Munky,
When all clients start thinking like you, we are all going to be out of a job.

Done by Harley about 10-12 years ago. Was a TV spot that won Grand Prix for Carmichael Lynch at Cannes.

I'm sorry, but this series is simply atrocious.

Looks digital. Flat. Good concept. Not so great execution.

Totally shameless ripoff. I'm surprised DDB let it fly. (Pardon the pun).
