I love it

Why PR it here??
I really love this ad.

It’s a bit like the Qantas brand ad’s. Why do they make new ones? Wouldn’t it be easier to roll the talent over in their old spots and add some supers with the new track.
Honestly what’s the difference between this ad and any of the others they have run over the years. I’m glad that someone is making a living (prod hse and music hse) but this is a toilet break . . .
Paul and Ant are capable of much better stuff. The brief must have said produce a toilet break . . .
I agree with 7;50 pm. Ant and Paul are capable of better. They took the money and ran from M&C to SOM as it was. It’s a faustian contract. As for this ad… well we were writing better than this years ago.
Better like the Optus animals?
This is crap – not emotionlly engaging at all and I’m a Mum! How can SOM get this stuff so wrong – it’s a no brainer.
Why pr this dribble here. Are you guys for real? Careful not to start believing internal hype. The rest of the industry smells crap.
No problem in doing this work…but think hard before you PR it! Now everyone knows you are doing this crap and now everyone thinks you think it is cool! Lights out.
From time to time we all produce howlers like this one. But as a creative I always say to the agency PR people to keep my name off it and don’t send it to CB. That’s the place to send the work that I think is good. Paul and Ant need to learn that lesson.

I thought the same as you – in the last shot it looks like the hot mum has got her boob out. It almost makes the ad worth watching.
The boys from Ogilvy will be heading back into the edit suite if Kimberly Clarke reads this blog.
