Like Tony Woodcock

Mandark's picture 407 pencils

he does have wood. that is for sure. i don't know why but the image gives me an impression of cartoonish finish. like the woman has been photoshopped in the picture in post production....

Would've worked perfect for an energy drink but not the best for Viagra i think

keithstoeckeler's picture 425 pencils

I think a lot of Viagra ads are horrible. Tough thing to advertise. This I like. It's clever.

really good one. look at the the relaxing position of the man. an old guy would never be so confident to handle so much wood.
thank god there is viagra :)

Nicely done. Don't really understand the comments about an energy drink, since when does an energy drink give you wood?

Tero Ylitalo's picture 378 pencils

Simply superb. I guess the energy drink -comments refer to old man's strength to literally carry so much wood into his house... They just don't quite get it. This is very clever thinking, although it might be too clever since it's only understandable iif you are fluent enough in English.

Now I might underestimate the target audience with my last comment... ;)

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

i don't get all the cheering. it's a pun. the same one as here btw:
http://adsoftheworld.com/media/tv/ann_summers_wood

pdhansson's picture 13 pencils

It's not, this is a Finnish ad and I doubt "wood" has the same meaning in Finnish as in English. The obvious interpretation is that he intends to keep that fire roaring for very long...

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

hey you're right! i had this wood pun in my head, and didn't think of that. that's not bad at all.

Thanks

Wordnerd,

it's not about new ideas anymore as we all know very well. It'sall about adapting, it's all about connecting and using old ideas in a new and fresh way in different contexts. Ann Summers' spot is great, but so is this one - it still manages to be different and new.

And yet, you've seen the Ann Summers' flic. But how many people of the target audience have seen it, and would make the connection and call it a steal?

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

i didn't call it a steal. i just don't get why this is supposed to be good. you know the viagra campaign with the old women falling asleep at work because of their horny husbands? that was an insightful and elegant way for that message.

for me, this is a big step backwards.

samvel's picture 13 pencils

this's logo look like the soap.

jayesh_chill's picture 71 pencils

Could someone please explain?

mosho's picture 295 pencils

OK GUYZ
i have another explainatoin for the ad
the guy collects all these wood for another reason .. it is to stay with her making love for alooong time without having to go out of bed getting another wood for the heater
that idea comes to my mind when i first looked at it
some one slap me if am not paying attention :D

shabrawyz's picture 2 pencils

I'm with Mosho123, This is the 1st concept that poped up in my head..it's not about collecting wood or hardness or sumthing..it's all about time..

"THE OLD MAN IS SO READY FOR A VERY LONG LONG LONG TIME"

thanks mosho..no need for the slap :D

shrikant's picture 10 pencils

Yup, it's gonna be a l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g winter, for sure! :D

You can create a whole blog dedicated to just Viagra campaigns! Love this one. The metaphor is spot on and rollickingly funny.
