the suit guy spoils the whole ad.

Nice execution. The back end looks like ass.
Agree

The line is what ruins if for me. The word "Funny" to be more specific. It's such a nicely shot, dramatic ad ... until "Funny how a single flams.." comes up. I would have said something like "Amazing how a single flame..." Funny doesn't fit with the tone.
I agree the line spoils it for me
Agree. Would have done it with "RSBC official sponsor of …" and no suit guy.
Yes suit guy is stupid, but the copy as well.

it would be perfect without that man.
I would definitely take out the word funny. I'm sure the suit guy was forced by the client. Nice job.
