[mseven1]

I dont like this advert, Halifax's adverts usually have happy fast music even in the 90s before the ones with Howard

[anonymousr]

Stupid Ad. IS IT IMPLYING THAT THE HALIFAX STAFF ARE SO THICK THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN USE THE DOORS AND ESCALATORS.....DOH.

[jwmwow]

little garcon born ruffians

[MarxBakuninMe]

Yeah, the banks ruined the economy and the futures of the young. But hey, have a fiver!

Nothing less than insulting.

[0o0oIANo0o0]

This scenario has so many things that could have happened.. 1. Worker inside takes his time collecting the money.. 2. They get the wrong building or office.. 3. The window is shut and won't open.. 4. They remember buildings have a main entrance. 5. Guy in office goes "No sorry mate you want that building behind you" 6. The dude outside the window pulls out a rag and squeegee and cleans the window..

[westyism]

i am in this add lol. boring az add

[MaxTallon]

Five fucking pounds!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[MarkWilliams212]

filmed in NZ? thats rather stupid seeing as they dont operate in NZ why not just film london its much easier than flying all those people and equpment over there just for a nice picture. no wonder they collapsed.

[adibaldwin]

you think they shipped all the equipment over there?NZ has a thriving film industry, they used hundreds of NZ extra's and equipment over there. the only people they shipped over there were the staff used (4 people). that and it is a hell of a lot cheaper to film anywhere in the world than london, plus permission to do this would have been slow and costly

[MarkWilliams212]

that doesnt look like england.

[andrewholland1973]

No wonder they've just lost £10bn, fancy wasting staff resources doing all this just to give £5 to each customer, haven't they heard electronic funds transfer!?! ;-)

[ChemicalNova85]

I worked for these guys and I also worked with the guy at 32 seconds in, haha crazy how far he has come in such a short amount of time! Think the fames gone to his head tho lol he's deleted us all off facebook hahah perfect recruit for such a crap useless company who axed all its staff we love you Halifax-NOT!

Ad was filmed in New Zealand not very symbolic of where the banks actually based hmmmmmm wonder why that is!

[willbo1234567890]

the song is little garcons, by born ruffians;

great song! :D

love it,

not so great company though;; Halifax :/

[evg79]

is this real what happening

[halifaxhell]

"At Halifax, we think banks should look after their customers."

Ha-ha. Don't make me laugh.

They may "think" that, but they don't "do" that. This is just more lies and marketing bullshit from a supposedly reputable company - they aren't.

You have been warned.

The Halifax cannot be trusted.

Do not believe their lies.

[oplolpolp]

Whats the song called ?

[StevieStickman]

something by Born Ruffians...

[StricklyPhone]

This advert fucks me off so much. People "coming together", the sandy/washed out colour pallette and the folk music. All thats missing is the soft north-england accent.

What is it with massive corporations and folk music as of late? They've raped the genre, seriously whenever I hear Folk I think of Vodafone or some insurance company.

This by-the-books hollow piece of shit advert is promoting some £5 back scheme. Yeah £5 is real useful after your massive financial cock-up. Patronising twats.

[Sirstumpalot]

So this is where all the staff at my local branch were on Saturday while I was patiently ignored and vomited on by a toddler whose Mum was arguing with a manager over an indescrepancy on her statement.

Lovey dovey advertising. That I think everyone knows is NOT based on a real experience.

[toffeefan5]

I was in this ad as an extra. Great fun working on it!

[VinnyS914]

I see no one in England knows what a ladder is.

[omfgimgettinpissd]

it makes me sad that nobody in england knows Born Ruffians. They're sooooo good.

[tc1991t9]

hey just to reply to your commeny, im from england i went to se born ruffians at a tiny gig in birmingham, theyre quality, i was out side talking with them for ages and drinking!! humming bird!!!

[tc1991t9]

[waimamakz]

[Geraldmeadle]

Cool track and cool ad for a bank. Brill.

[katie0e0e0]
