Nice. Very nice. Simple and lateral. well done

B128's picture 394 pencils

Ha ha.. I hope this dude is not the one who's supposed to save you...

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

funny. but you can't hope to be rescued in time. but it makes me smile anyway.

teenie's picture 1906 pencils

My thoughts exactly. It's interesting, but if you think about it for a second longer it loses its appeal.

MarceloG's picture 826 pencils

Yep. You and mrtalented said everything about it. Nice, but just for one second.

there's place left for another logo in the lower right corner - so maybe he could be wearing a pair of nike running shoes

haha, nice one.

Yep, that's what I thought. It's funny, but really... It makes no sense. This guy would never save you, and he wouldn't bother if he had to warn someone on the beach, unless... He really loves the binoculars and he's there just for the fun of it! :)

Yeah thats quite nice.

It's only an ad.

futura's picture 148 pencils

A good one.

I'm not a big fan, you shouldn't just show something clever for the sake of cleverness. This shows a negative product aspect. Take circular cutouts of microscopes samples and put them on product or something like that. I'm much more likely to associate that someone is of a lower intelligence for using long-range binoculars for a close-range activity than any sort of product benfit.

You must take ads more seriously than the average consumer. Its meant to be daft.

Wholy Phuk it's only an ad indeed, and a funny one too! Typical Aussie humour...

ellehcimeo's picture 3534 pencils

By phuk are you meaning the word "seal" in french? If so, that makes your comment even funnier.
I like this ad, it's kind of silly but I get it and it's a nice illustration of the products ability.

EXCELLENT!!!

FER.

Danilo Maia's picture 16 pencils

Very nice.

They're not selling rescue services, but binoculars.

He's not supposed to save you, cause this is an ad, not a real sittuation.

raverus's picture 1471 pencils

stupid, offcourse it's about binoculars but the ad don't work cause of the saving life guard concept

Danilo Maia's picture 16 pencils

Stupid is your mother

Disco Munky's picture 3934 pencils

Stupid is who's mother?

You talking about mine?

She was kicked by a horse, so yeah she's stupid, but i still love her.

Doin' it for the points

addyhoch10's picture 2599 pencils

stupidity is relative. but it's for sure that some of us could use a horse kick from time to time, too.

fersvax's picture 1224 pencils

"Stupid is a stupid does" F.G.

FER.
