Quite really.

hahahaha... concept is nice: "Get dirty", then execution is somehow weak, wonder if the client softened it mmm....

That concept was already used by Axe Shower Gel a few years back. So, i think this is a "let's show some skin, ad".

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

the way they promoted for the washing machine is old and the work in general is forced.. and i didnt like " get dirty with hoover" line...

wow! these guys will be very succesful making hindi films for bollywood - where the exagerration is the only factor...
the bigger the mountain out of a tiny mole-hill and stud it with "exotic" scenes, you'll be creating BO history.
seriously guys, i think you should start making a hindi potboiler asap!!

they showed me a picture & i laughed

the sex has nothing to do with the product. not to mention the humor is cheesy.

Dirt is good. Anyone remember OMO?

wtf.... horrible, overacting, too long, copycat idea but badly done, very cheesy humor, and I can go on and go on.

Guest's picture

I think its quite good. Remember the Carry On films? I think its very tongue in cheek and done quite well. You have also got to think about the client and the brand. Taken a little more seriously this could have been verging on bad porn, but it looks like the client has allowed the agency to push the boundaries of white goods advertising without damaging this. Yes, there are better ads out there, but this is a washing machine ad after all! Looking across the web it seems to be getting quite a lot of press. I rather think Hoover and the agency have succeeded fulfilling what is after all - a viral video.

Wow... literally the worst TV spot I have ever seen in here. Gross, uncreative, forced.

That first half of the video is so fetish.

Guest's picture

Creatively speaking, this is a breath of fresh air. I like boundaries to be pushed without being vulgar. I like the tongue in cheek approach and the cheekiness of the campaign. I also did not know that Hoover made washing machines? Was this on TV as the press talk about web only

yup :)

I like it. Who are these people with the negative comments? I guess the type that look for continuity mistakes in every film they watch! I don't think its a TV spot, which is a shame.

Guest's picture

Wow, is everyone in the agency gonna rate the spot as a 'Guest'?

Guest's picture

Great comment. Especially coming from a 'Guest'!!!!! Loved the video. Well done Hoover
