Everywhere south of the Manchester ship canal is France.

(Remember its just a joke, like on Top Gear)

[marc83200]

Lovely movie

Hi everybody,

I come from France and am 42 years old.

I'm here since 2 weeks and enjoy Blackpool.Nice town.

I want to learn English, if someone here wants to learn French, why not make a conversation exchange? Don't hesitate to contact me.

Marc.

[sian0151]

does any one know what the song in background is

[x333xxx]

Absolutely brilliant concept and production.

[FloraJay]

Good ol' lancashire lad!

Although I have to say, having lived near blackpool all my life and having been there hundreds of times, it's not some magical place haha. It's actually a bit of a shit tip. And the people can leave a lot to be desired (though there are always exceptions!)

[crouchy2310]

the worst ad ever!

[goodkinghenry]

one of the best ads ever... even if you don't like it you will remember it.... hence one of the best ads

[JAMamation]

i didn't know the waiters in blackpool could speak french......

[magicfenetre2]

@JAMamation I didn't know the waiters in Blackpool could speak English....

[gramule]

Fantastique! Vive la Blackpool, it is a cracking place to be!

[blackpoolprince]

SHIT ADVERT!

[matthewjashworth]

I'm Blackpool born and bred. I'd say I have a pretty good sense of judgement about the place: It's a total shit-hole. No amount of disco balls and casino's can save its problems. Kanharn, you must be absolutely mental to think Blackpool is a better town than Bristol.

"Bill Clinton is always in town". If he's not holding political debates, I'm sure he's blowing a wad in Mr B's amusements and losing his shit in the Syndicate.

[Grobanite15]

@matthewjashworth

I spent a year in Blackpool as a French assistant. I'm from Canada, from a beautiful and busy capital. I thought, as you said, that Blackpool was a total shit-hole (I loved it for 2 weeks and then came to my senses). I don't know how many pub fights or stabbings on the street I witnessed... But I still miss Blackpool, no matter how much a shit-hole it was haha.

And I love the ad! The actors have the most terrible accent. No native French speakers will be fooled but who cares!

[LivBird8]

Oui... Hot Pot.

[e8412561]

...what a truly awful composition......wonder how much tax payers money was wasted on that heap of dung.....

[createviralcampaigns]

The above video, created by a Manchester Marketing Agency, is being widely heralded a success on a number of news wires after it achieved over 60,000 You Tube views in just a few months. While undoubtedly clever and witty, I'd like to question just how truly effective this campaign really is?

Check my profile for links to the full blog.

[Stickyglasgowbud]

If the campaign achieved a high number of views it would be appropriate to consider it a good marketing move, being that it has drawn attention to the product however, its move to use a french woman and the language is slightly dubious as i would have gone for a more traditional move but i guess its like trying to build a castle on sand. lets use the language of love to cover up a shit hole.

[Long23]

Blackpool - looks a bit like Paris with some snappy editing.

Message? Go to Paris.

[stanleythai1]

Sex shops during the internet revolution? Is this vid a dickhead magnet?

[stanleythai1]

Listen to the chef. He knows nothing, but that won't stop the tart.

[pastrychef1985]

Blackpool is a skazzhole.

[bambam5000]

Great advert but complete balls. Trade descriptions act defying balls.

[HOUGHTONish]

i live in blackpool its greattttttttttt

[recall611]

that was beautiful.

[debbie06100]

Chavs & sex shops-not my cup of tea !maybe you've gone to the wrong places, try the Grand Theater,BP zoo, BP park,Bishams cliffs!

[backroomsuperstar]

So we can stay?

Oui love... oui.

Love it.

[sxyja2008]

I live here and i think the advert is brill yey

[FosterGearing]

This is superb stuff. If the company who made it see this post can you let us know who you are please.

[kerb15]

Why the fck would the french want to go to Blackpool?? tis a total state

[debbie06100]

Cos, that's where u find Real English hospitality +real English grub- luv.

[kerb15]

Not really, just chavs and sex shops. There's much nicer places nearby.

[megamidget24]

Does it matter that I don't have a closet?

I'd imagine it is more difficult to hang in a chest of drawers

[YouTrulyAreATube]

very cute!!!

lol at 1:18 though

[PriceTags]

Oui, hotpot.

[JjOoNnNnYyBb]

And another thing this advert dosent show the number 6 bus which is a total wreck and some have been in service for 15 years i know this because it has a STICKER ON THE BACK SAYING ''BUS BUISNESS AWARD 1990'' its a ugly bus that needs to be updated with the town pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee I love blackpool but get that bus sorted like the 11 and 14 :P

[JjOoNnNnYyBb]

i live in blackpool and this advert i think is a joke -_- what is the whole point of it ?????

[gaypanda]

I love it, I'm going to blackpool this summer and looking forward to it, this film is done to a superb standard, although it wouldn't be mistaken for Paris it certainly puts the long lost mystique into Blackpool.

*Last one in the sea is a rotten crab*

[markysparky4444]

i go to blackpool alot because iv'e got relatives there and i think it's like marmite, you love it or hate it

[tb4911]

Blackpool = dump.  Don't care if I never go there ever again.

[gropengroper]

We don't want your type here. Please stay true to your word.

[tb4911]

If you think Blackpool's a good crack then PLEASE stay away from southern England too because we don't want your type dragging us down, please stick to your strip clubs along the seafront.

[gropengroper]

Ok then, tb4911 - I appreciate you are evidently the font of all knowledge. You won't mind if I don't return the insult....I'm not a baby.

[tb4911]

gropengroper, there are two things people ALWAYS refer to when they have nothing good to argue back, one is spelling and the other is the 'you're so immature' argument. Yawn.

The fact is your town is a dump with strip clubs along the waterfront. There are worse places in the North but there are a lot better which I have visited. Nothing would make me willingly spend another pound in your town. Get offended all you like, this is my opinion of your town and it's up to you to sort it out

[kanharn]

ha ha if u have been to Blackpool u would know it has like 3 strip bars. its Preston that has 100's. Blackpool does have over 300 clubs and pubs

Also Blackpool is the most popular town in the UK. better then shit holes Bristol or gloucester.

on top of that it brings in 15% of all the UK's cash with its Oil and gas rigs and its the place that holds UK political stuff every year and bill Clinton etc is always in town.

I can tell u have never been so why lie

[tb4911]

I have been that's why I know it's shocking. By the way well played on "trashing" my vids. You have no fucking clue where to say I'm from, Bristol, Gloucester, Oxfordshire?

Keep up the comments, you're really playing it big.

Stupid prick.

Go have some greasy chips.

[Stickyglasgowbud]

le Blackpool ist full of ugly people..le poo poo

[gropengroper]

Eh, stickyglasgowvicky? Was that an attempt at French and German? I'll have you know I am gorgeous - and I live in Blackpool, lmao

[Stickyglasgowbud]

well either you are good looking in which you must be hiding under a rock or ur definition of gorgeous is as poor as my french.

[zenzo11]

don't usually believe in chain comments, but this one is pretty cool. u don't need to do it, but when u read it, u might smile. :)There are 20 angels in this world10 are sleeping9 are playing1 is reading thisput this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love.! Sorry but that is one thing i wouldnt risk losing

[Kristoffeu]

As a frenchman, this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen but still, I love it. I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe.

[xspeshx]

they should make this into a film, i'd go to see it :)

[natwithnat2]

lol

[lightwave66]

Ridiculous.

[PatriotGR]

I'd never go to Blackpool and I live in Wales. It's a bigger Rhyl and that's bad enough.

[gash2024]

Blackpool what were you thinking :-/,

idiots comes to mind.

[test111ful]

this

[footygal247]

hotpot woooooooooooo!!!!

[HogwartsHonorRoll]

I don't care what everyone says, I went to Blackpool for a weekend over the summer holidays last year and I thought it was brilliant.

I met up with a bunch of my mates from the north and we had a really great time.

I will definitely be visiting again :)

[kaygreen16]

:-):-):-)

[mackintoshg]

That is the best advert ever. I'm going to blackpool! lol

[algosheroth]

got to admire them for trying but no matter how classy they adds are its still gonna pour it down. the thing is why is it they seem to think the french language is classy? I've been to france to and it was just like blackpool.....

shit and rainy =p

[emmie2105]

she's taught me! : )

in two drama workshops.

[kigdavid]

nice song on my page

amazing

[littledaz123]

its ok;

we understand the seriousness of your mission.

good luck...

[JusticiarVolchak]

The point is that it -isn't- London; a tedious and bland shit hole down south.

[algosheroth]

I went to blackpool......

weather was shit and there wasn't a french lass in sight =p

[ArthurSavillesCrime]

Try France. You might have better luck there.lol. On a serious note Edinburgh has loads of frenchies plying their gallic charm on holiday. French girls are not low-maintenance methinks though. Bonne chance

[rcrent]

This film is a work of genius - someone deserves a knighthood!

[littledaz123]

nope, they really don't.

[grendel305]

Very true to life - not a single person braving the water!!

[emperoroftheverse]

1. It up North

2. 20-30mins from Liverpool

3. 1 hour from Manchester

4. 1 hour from the Lake District

Need I go on.

[AManfromcoalville]

'blackpool is a run down taccy seaside resort up north.

clean it up a bit and maybe it will attract more people...'

Oh *****, are we that obvious?!!!!'

[lollypopsical135]

i love the footage of them on the merry-go-round and running down the sand hill - its so sweet :)

does anybody know what the music is?

[tittatgirls]

I know what the music is.

[MrStandek]

You are an arrogant bigot with a really poor sense of humour.

[MrStandek]

I really doubt theres anywhere in Blackpool where they speak French and serve croque monsieur and salade nicoise.

[techieladybird]

I like blackpool but there is a bad smell there, if they cleaned it up it'd be better? How many people are going to see this and be disappointed when they go?

[anachist77]

well the advert does not bother me But i think my cousin deborah did brilliantly oh to clear it up she is Mancunian

[matthewjashworth]

It actually doesn't have many Pakistani's at all. Which is precisely one of the multitude of problems with small-minded towns like Blackpool. Casual racism towards people they do not know and that don't even choose to live in their town. PS. I'm from Blackpool.

[GaryBL]

widerthanone... I did notice that your grammar is bad... :-)

[Iwantyourtearsgypsy]

Oui! Hot pot!

[mariekitu]

Correction : "Oui ! Ot Pot !"

Lol

[Iwantyourtearsgypsy]

Lmao!

[shwazz]

lmao! I'm sorry, but this ad is pute cheese, "wee love, wee" and whats with the hotpot bit? hahahaha. although Blackpool is a great place.

[Bhandforth69]

Wie, Hotpot (L) haha

[tomtucjr]

Wie? Don't you mean oui?

[Bhandforth69]

haha yeah :p lol

[CellarrrrDoor]

Blackpool is a thousand times better than France. The food is over rated and the people unfriendly and rude. Why anyone goes to hoilday in France I will never know. Never had much hotpot in Blackpool, usually its fish and chips.

^ shut it, blackpool is clearly shit if your over the age of 6. :)

[skipskops]

Each to their own, he has a big point. I hate to say it but the french aren't all ways that nice you know. Nothing beats the good old british sense of humor.....I've never been to blackpool so I guess I can't comment on that....

[MrTadaka]

coool

[dalla112]

this is cool

[dalla112]

this is cool

[homeski0]

This advert makes me want to visit France, not Blackpool. LOL

J'adore la France!

[natwithnat2]

awesome french skills there... "i love the france"

[JigsawDaMasta]

wharran ad, it took me some time to get it...

[Linz748916]

Wonderful!

[Tonyukmma]

[TheVersatility]

[LazyMashFace]

HOTPOT

[electriciansmate]

Blackpool is a thousand times better than France. The food is over rated and the people unfriendly and rude. Why anyone goes to hoilday in France I will never know. Never had much hotpot in Blackpool, usually its fish and chips.

[breakupkid1]

omg this just makes me cry so much life is so complicated 4 me

[bigchalks32]

LOL, i thought they were in Paris!

[moviesunrated]

I bet this video is just to advertise Blackpool, and why are they saying "Well it's just rubbish in London" sounds like they are trying to get people to visit Blackpool and make London look bad.

[allbymysmelf]

Congratz. Youve worked out advertising. Tehe :D

[slayex850]

Moviesunrated, you just won the award for making the most obvious statement of the year!

[moviesunrated]

Thank you! I try my best!

[leeoggybfc]

plus he says ''the weathers rubbish in london'' not what u sed..

[moviesunrated]

I think it's propoganda, people are saying I'm stupid for working out it's an advert, it looks more like a trailor for a movie.

[MrBlankspace]

this video is LAME LAME LAAAMMMEEEE

[58m]

this is dumb.

not short.

or funny.

[it08tgo]

i dont get why people are wingeing over this advert. the whole idea is to make you think it is paris, and at first it does abit. so shut your yapping.

[Sabrermk42]

the "OTPOT" is just cringe worthy

[moviesunrated]

They're saying Hotpot, read the subtitles.

[Sabrermk42]

obviously i know that its just corny

[unarmed1234]

that ad is terrible lol

anyway London > blackpool =DD

[Nicks365days]

blackpools not that great...

[EldritchMask]

Never been to Blackpool.

Half of the people I know who have - say its FANTASTIC. The other half say it was hell on Earth.

Guess I'll visit the place - one day.... perhaps.

good advert though.

[Ginolaisgod]

I live in Blackpool, and my dear god they've glamourised it and half! Christ, I know they're trying to attract even more tourists (it's annoying enough as it is!), but they will only be dissapointed if they're expecting anything like this! Where are the drunks? The dodgy outfits? The stench of horse shit on the road? The paint peeling away off every fucking building?!! I wish it was that fucking romantic!

[micheallaverty]

Stay out the sea if you value your skin.

[softesweet]

there is no way to compare huge and stressed london to tiny and relaxed blackpool. i think only strong people can make an effort to live in london.

[11111lololol11111]

Casserole de Lancashire!! Miam! Miam! (Et pour dessert un gateau d'Eccles!)

[RedSeaCoral]

lool and here i was thinking that she was writing from somewhere posh in france.

thats great marketing, the person who came up with this is a genuis.

[skydive66]

Great Marketing idea! clever stuff!

[amaqula]

Horrible haircut!

[Qahhar92]

rifaz is fat`

[loppytaffy]

oui luf, oui

[pearceavfc123]

fgzfg

[Sebtastical]

my only worry is that this will do more bad than good...

i mean wont the french be offended by an english cast pretending to be french 'loving blackpool' an englush city?

[glassontable]

Hahah. Genius. OUI LOVE, Chuckles

[jobbieteeth]

Just to clear this up....

No she is not French,

Her name is Deborah Pugh

She was one of my college lecturers this year whilst i was studying my performance arts course.

She specialises in the teaching of movement.

There you go

[stellaviolens]

If she was my teacher i'd be paying close attention to her movements.

Great advert , Blackpool is better than london. Bit like being sick is better than having the runs

lol

[Drink56789]

LOL.

'Oui, hotpot' ^_^

[GoldVisionFilms]

0.18 "Quelque chose à mangAY" says it's an all-English cast :)

[ychan1]

haha yeh that bit really stood out xD

[stick1903]

ouai, love, ouai.

[kathykisslight]

Bournemouth is the BEST !!!!

[waterhugbunny]

blackpool's a craphole lol! even the name sounds rancid. i'd rather stay in france, and she could do better than that guy. he probably thinks piss means yes in france

[MysteriousEchos]

Blegh, Blackpool sucks, why would she wanna live here? I hate it here xDD Always rainy too.

[Mitsu24]

paddy gives iffy head

[djibrane]

get a french actress to play a french girl.

she speaks french with an english accent and english with a made up french one.

Mon oreille saigne en ecountant cette video!

[melonsfish1]

do yourself a favour and go back to France, love. Blackpool's a shithole.

[AudleyB]

Hmmm, where should I go this summer, Blackpool or Brighton?

What do you think?

[totolacoste67]

She actually says "ouais", and not "oui". A subtle difference. But she's still a babe! :-)
