WTf there are no doritos in this film the only mention them once in the vid and they didnt even show em insted they eat a fish what a load of crap

[biglew23]

I'm gutted that you didn't make the final list. I'm not sure what the Doritos judges were thinking. Some of the finalists are ok but at least 2 of them are so 'YAWN' I only wish your entry had made it in because it would have got my vote.

[williamhtrice]

Smoke machine? Where's the smoke?

[williamhtrice]

I don't think they thought it sucked for sure! Otherwise it WOULD have got picked like the 4 suck-ass entries which did! (Tribe excluded)

As far as I can tell they were after an ad that looked amateur! I just wish they'd said so in the brief, they could have saved us all a lot of time!

I'm no sore looser, i'm not irritated because we didn't get picked, it's just because of the entries which did! There were so many way better entries!

[williamhtrice]

NICE GOING on getting the E4 voice actor!! I bet he normally gets a whole bucket of cash for that much talking!! Did he just do it in his studio and e-mail you a soundfile, or did you get to meet him?

BTW, this deserved to be in the final 5 far more than any of the finalists (with the exception of Tribe)! It probably got excluded because E4 would have sued Doritos if it made it to the TV...

The judges picked some real crap ads! Down with Doritos!

[TeamDoobie]

Met they guy. Sent him script. He recorded it in his studio. I'm sure E4 couldn't sue Doritos or me or anyone as they don't own copyright over his voice. And he would know.

He has done VO work for iTV, Honda and Saturday morning kids shows.

That would be pretty small minded and naive of Doritos to exclude the ad based purely on the VO. Therefore they must have thought it sucked. Sadness.

[TeamDoobie]

I meant they thought the entry sucked, not the Voice Over - which is awesome.

[sagat4]

did you pay him for this or did he do this for free?

[TeamDoobie]

Freeeeeee. Which underscores the niceness of the guy. I think we spent about £360 on materials, light rental, robot, fresh fish and fresh beer.

I now understand the connection and familiarity to the E4 brand this thing parallels to and I can see Doritos not wanting to confuse the public.

All in all it was a good experience and I guess I should thank Doritos and Young Nick for getting me off my ass and doing something I am proud of. Spanks.

[sagat4]

I see what you mean. I liked the advert and you can always reuse it for another contest so all is not lost:)

[TeamDoobie]

Thanks. Nick who directed, edited, designed the set, moved the cross species lovers and ran the smoke machine which set off the fire alarm may have plans up the ying-yang to get some mileage out of the effort.

this is crap make dont be scared win

[ntbentley]

dalecarey - you've lost your mind. the competition ended on monday. 'Don't be scared' LOST! how can it win now? what are you on about? You think this one is 'bo(a)ring' and 'crap' so what. The comp is over. Go waste your time somewhere else.

[dalecarey]

boaring

[TeamDoobie]

spelling

[zitozito]

[zitozito]

Don't be scared dalecarey your favourite didn't win either.

[iamjameskirkup]

go team!

[naesmans]

im sorry but the point of the sd is meant to make u want doritos, this doesnt , it sounds like a hidden camera show or a wind up. then again the new cadburys ad makes no sense so i dont know?

[workinthemine]

top5!

[Zeroxysm]

Well written and very original.

[K155fan]

sounds like the guy on the E4 ads in the UK

[sagat4]

yeah does sound so; maybe its him..lol

[TeamDoobie]

It is.

[TeamDoobie]

That was meant to be a reply to K155fan's musings - is it the E4 guy. We just asked him. He said sure. Nice chap.

[biglew23]

Great work. Gave it 5 stars. One of the most original concepts on here.

[tomrahster]

Very enjoyable ad, and appreciated the poem. Best of luck! My ad is under the mispelt title 'Who can resisit the taste'...

[Sceneagers]

go nick!

[strawberrymilkshaker]

Nice, but it just feels like an E4 sting! Did you ACTUALLY get the E4 voiceover guy to do this ad!?

Surely E4 will hunt you down and sue your heiny(s)?

[somegirlinlondon]

I think this is great! Original and funny!!!! Best of luck!!

If you fancy, come and take a look at my entry "Banditos Doritos - Be Cool Original" :-)

[yotherssluggo]

This is solid gold material.

[iamjameskirkup]

brilliance!

[zitozito]

Got to be a winner. It's got all the elements of a winner. 1) a robot and 2) a fish

I Love it.
