Nice idea, cg's a bit dodge, and dont think you needed the end line 'game on' or the visual of a game table.

Agree, but you know some times is the client who asks for that kind of stuff

nice idea gone wrong in the end.. Why "game on"???
I'd have loved it if the world was turning in a wierd way... that'd have added all the more fun.

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

Gold! This was really f*king cool!!!!

I heard about this concept at the production company I work for. Nice to see what they did with it! Bravo

Guest's picture

Gimme a break. This is amazing. If you can't admit that you're one of those sour-grapes creatives.

NIGEL's picture

Compeletley agree. I think if you don't like this you are just bitter.

CA-CA-CA-CANNNES.

Gold. Sure. Don't be a hater.

Really cool. Is the car only available in the US?

I like the idea. But something tells me that this TVC would never make it through some of the European regulatory commissions like the English BACC and French BVP. But I still like it.

Guest's picture

Is there an actual game that resembles that box or things falling into numbered holes? I don't recall...

NinjaFace's picture

Yes there is an actual game, it's called Labyrynth or some crap. It's hard to complete from what I recall.

Great spot!

jon moreno's picture

great! how i wish i can tink like that!

errr.. im not a professional in this line of work, but i really like to evaluate advertising arts. So pls excuse my thoughts.

CrazyPurpleBanana's picture

Loved this commercial- I actually really like the shot at the end when they pan out and show the game board. Pretty cool.

Guest's picture

The reveal is amazing I think this is a tremendous concept really liked watching it. TBWA!!!! Good JOB!

While probably not an idea that awards show judges would go gaga over, it is a tightly produced super entertaining spot with a clear message. It'll most definitely win something in the effects and/or cinematography category if not top honors. Some of the shots are simply amazing!
As someone based in the Big Apple, this spot would've been outrageously funny if it'd been shot entirely in Manhattan. The whole joke and irony of it would hurt us! It's not uncommon to see a crater-sized pothole suddenly open up right beneath you here in the city!! ;D I've also actually witnessed someone fall right into an open manhole a long time ago!

Man, I do miss working for clients with BIG wallets!! Nice work guys.

JamaicanFloyd's picture

This ad is very good, i think it will do wonderfully in the shows.

Guest's picture
