New Comm Bank Ad, are they FOR REAL?

[JBofBrisbane]

Yeah - now what about the rest of the ad? The part where the American ad agency tries to explain it, without much success.

[st88f88]

I would totally do business with that bank! the add was awesomme, it's a shame they scrapped it

[jacksc2008]

Are you trying to make us look stupid?

You need to see the whole ad!

Its a joke.

[hantsbear]

Mad Max re-enacted by koalas. That's different.

[EvilSista]

If you watch the REST of the ad you'd see that no - they're not for real. This part is just an American ad agency's attempt at connecting with australians, then you see the commonwealth bank's marketing team sitting there all shocked. They decide to scrap everything but the tagline.

The point? we're determined to be different. But we DON'T need to be flashy about it.

[Treemeadow]

wtf! Why'd you cut out the boardroom sequence.

You completely stuffed the meaning of this ad, gah!!!

[tekm123]

thevisualedge, no.. actually your the retarded one. I think the past youtube comments sum it up, this ad sucks pure lame ass shit. you my

friend suck more ...

[thevisualedge]

You guys are all retarded. This ad is a joke and is part of a self-parody featuring Michael Bay. The full commercial is on YouTube as well ... if you weren't too lazy to look for it.

[Currymuncher001]

It's so cool.

[juicie]

What. The. Fuck.

That's one abomination of an ad.

[lopin67]

wtf? I think it's funny. For once a big corporation has to guts to not take tehmsleves too seriously.

[sjs2011]

CBA are too up-themselves to do anything like that. Of course it's fake, I think it is a terrible ad.

CBA are one mean bank..

Westpac & Suncorp all the way !

[kiwiz00]

Takes a bunch of advertising creatives about 20 minutes to come up with a line like 'Determined to be Different'. And about two minutes for the greedy bastards at CBA to increase their interest rates today HIGHER than the actual rate rise. Determined to different right enough. Pathetic. Totally pathetic...

[sivad09]

zazzman you clearly work for the agency and are planted - get a life

[tekm123]

Wonder who thought of such total self indulgent

rubbish!...

A, A wanker banker who thought he could write cool comedy.

b, A coked-up CD

Apart from Commbank wasting thousands or if not millions of clients money on this shyte

should be ashamed of themselves..totally

rubbish and worthless..

[tkcwu]

This is worst than the 'Where the bloody hell are u ad!"

both as stupid

[indifilmz]

There is more to this Ad. It goes onto to the board room with Michael Bay and it sort of makes fun of the entire concept - so your reactions are just right - as they are paying it out too. I don't know why, but I find it all funny - paying out Michael Bay that is ;) hehe

[mdab27]

Lame. Lame. Lame.  Get your collective heads out of your arses Goodby.

[sivad09]

Ah its meant a viral ad, how funny, what a load of shite. Sorry, it could be an ad for anyone.

[pbdcom27]

What's on you tube is NOT the whole, the last 2 minutes are missing which put the "killer koala's" into context. It's a really good try to make an ad that's fun to watch but you need to see all of it.

[myohmy099]

I like it - makes me wonder what is next! Can they top that? Is there more to see, more to come?!

[carbonimages]

A successful hoax advert should be cunning, subtle and almost believeable. This is crude, lumbering and just not funny...I wish I didn't bank with Comm Bank.

[atari100]

Goodby Silverstein & Partners - you need to try harder... this is so far off the mark. Trying to reach consumers with an ad agency in-joke is a great way to alienate them. Bring the agency dollars back to Australia Comm. bank. GSP have stuffed this...

[ch3d99]

of course its a joke to generate publicity, to get chumps like us talking about it.

its a branding exercise & its an awesome idea.

very solid.

[chestergrape]

A hoax for sure. And a bloody good one!

[chestergrape]

A hoax for sure! But a bloody funny and bloody good one.

[mudguts24]

just plain insulting......the bloody tiprats!

[averagedane]

Americans trying to be Australian...??

[ZozoJoh]

Oh dear. Please tell me this is a hoax.

[spiltinc]

This is absolute crap. This is what happens when you get an American agency to do an ad for an Australian bank. Not funny, misses the target market and tells me nothing. Would've cost the bank a fortune though - so glad your bank fees were wasted on that embarrassing piece of shite.

[samgranleese]

poo

[yowiegirl]

This looks like another try hard ad from the Bank...

[jerkface1977]

that is just hilarious! WE ARE THE BRAVE.

[beardlord]

genius

[2061baggins]

that is so bad it's funny.

surely its fake. goodby would have something planned for sure.

[skelta63]

pretty plleeeease be the real ad!!!!!!!!!!

[nichodges]

That's just embarrassing.
