[rayolacer]

shit i always thought it was chicago!!! GO SAO PAULO

[bethiibabii]

i wna ride it i wna ride it NOW

[commercialtape]

How much did that cost to make?

[matthew5a]

he looks so much like stephen mangan in the advert

[calzodomatic]

Weird

[s3ansk1]

I agree all these credit card companies are bloody bank robbers! they should remake the advert with Tragedy by the bee gees and a chap in a close coffin coming down the slide :) great advert though and song!!! but doesnt make me want to apply for a card...nice try barclay! i wonder who did becasue of this advert?

[NewarkGuy]

maybe if people had some discipline and self control, they wouldn't get in trouble...it's easy to blame others for your lack of financial discipline !

[MilliVanilli2007]

my thoughts exactly

[Bertiemarmite1]

Hate Barclays bank, like most of the UK because they are crooks and steal from ordinary normal people,just like the greedy banks in America who stitched so many people up. But the tune from the Bellamy brothers is fantastique!!

[ImDaPwincess]

wooow . if onlyy!!

[clogfoot]

brilliant

[bogen1050]

why can't they build one of them slides in london?  that'll beat the rush hour traffic.

[fjlfjelfjlvf]

fuck off dummyspitter ,this adverts brillaint

[dummyspitter]

whats brilliant about it ?retard the fact that it no doubt cost alot of money to make just to advertise a credit card

[fjlfjelfjlvf]

so what if it took loads of money to make,its not like you paid for any off if

[patrickman123]

its a gud advert

[sxc3y3ssarah]

its just amazing. simple as really. =] fantastic!

[dummyspitter]

stupid advert

[bogen1050]

actually it's a advert that took ages to complete and with good music, ( The bellemy brothers, let your love flow) but i suppose no one's as fucking perfect as you! twat.

[Dandeelionn]

Emotional? Yeah, I'll say... ?

[BellaProductionsUK]

Emotional Moments, the only thing close is the two people in the bedroom he passes.

[grry567]

this advert of barclaycard that is on tv is to get people to get a card which land you in dept why do do they show this because there is a credit crunch at the monent and the the banks are not lending.

[Adityac1]

There are no emotional moments in this

[SJ363]

emotional moments? where?

[BritishWizard]

It says that it was made in Sao Paulo but at 1:59 he said Rio? :P. Still, it's a good advert. I would just like to know how they made the waterpipes go around the big buildings like the clock tower etc. Special Effects I guess.

[alexgomes1978]

Hi there, it definitely has bits of Sao Paulo but you are right, he says Rio. And it definitely has bits of Rio too. Looking at it (i am from Sao Paulo) I can defintiely recognize the tube, the buildings but there are no yellow cabs in Sao Paulo and I never seen taht water park, so that bit is probably Rio. Fun advert, well done Barclaycard that pipe would certainly help beat the mad traffic in Sao Paulo! Adeus.

[mermayde]

Yes Alex, I agree with you cause I'm also from Sao Paulo and I know that city well...hahaha...Although they only mention Rio in the making of, I'm sure there are quite a few bits from Sao Paulo in it. Tchau!!

[SJ363]

id say they made miniture buildings then added the actor in with CGI

[igorherculano]

Sao Paulo? No way ,that's Rio 100% the buildings , the cabs , and every think else's Rio De Janeiro Capital(i'm from Rio "Biatch") ,and i also know Sao paulo very well ,

[themystikale]

Its rio

Watch minuto 1.56 when it says "it pretty triky one to say the least, cos putting a blue pipe into Rio...."

You right - Irmao. valeu

[adiadorealis]

Yeas, I did.

[skadoosh0127]

wish i cud go on waterslide

[Rory1386]

Anyone know who that lady is at the checkout?

[adiadorealis]

Am I the only one that thinks that slide would be bloody awesome.

Please make one Cambridge county council :D

[andyjamess]

When you say Camb C C did you mean Cambridge UK?

[bus140808]

all that for a freakin advert!! barclaycard have got money to burn.

[qqqqqqqq123]

My version of this vid is way better, shows barclaycard for the shit company they are

watch?v=NKrcXXc4Eas

[stiffler125]

if only the water slide was real, :(

[scribblywibbly1]

they will only show the full add once or twice coz it will cost a bomb....so u have to keep getting cut down versions...they'll most prolly show the full version after christmas when everyones struggling for money...so this ad will seem very appealing to the consumer...but i have to admit as much as the concept is great the end line is awful...making payments simpler, it loses all relation to a fun slide

[Kiel297]

But it's cancelled out a bit by a spasticated voice shouting "can you get me a towel?!"

[scribblywibbly1]

i know, a nice cheap trick to keep the consumer locked, but i give the creatives their dues; they literally had to turn shit into gold. financial ads are the worst ads but they've actually made it appealing...so fair do's

[Kiel297]

I'm just hoping that they don't go overboard with this idea like they did with Halifax and make it annoying.

[scribblywibbly1]

oh god i'd love o kill the creative responsible for halifax...it's such an undermining ad...look at us singing and you will ignore are crap products and services. I would love to know what brief the client handed to the agency or if it's internal...it's gotta be internal, no creative would sacrifice their career would they and anyhow i doubt barclays would make it annoying they do have surprisingly good ad's they at least make the agency earn their money and trust in their abilities

[Kiel297]

Halifax was okay for the first couple of adverts, until they started murdering songs and being proud of it.

[ratastewie91]

couldn't agree more

[REATARD67]

ima porn star plz feture me next time!!

[friendzxx]

I think its a good idea for companies to open there own account on you tube. They'd be more widely recognised by the public and could let them be more understanding about what it's like working in companies etc!

[monkeyman913462]

noooooo.... ITS NOT REAL!!!!!

[andrewthebestes]

2:38 - what did he put in his pants?

[NitromeGamer]

[halfprice2]

[simondjuk]

Genius advery but the making of it kind of ruins the effect.

[bert2slide2man]

[ikkin1981]

Its called 'Let your love flow' and its by the Bellamy Brothers

[bert2slide2man]

thanks so much!

[tireoghainian]

[forrestgumby]

Ah, combining the transport tubes of Futurama with the fun of waterslides. That's how I would like to get to and from work.

[CornishBoys07]

[mysisterisannoying1]

[BboyDeusEx]

oh real emotional.. real great journey.. NOT

[computergeek836]

.... I wish this was avalible everywhere...

I would love to just slide from work t home and do the shopping on the way

:)

[braddamidget]

Same ere i'd love 2 get a private water slide. But maybe in about 20 years we'll have transporters to do that for us!

[saladlegs]

if it was available here in england there'd be some fatty blocking the pipes!

[b0w5er]

this ad was so big! all that for an advert! barclycard must be good and i recon a film will get inspired by this

[igorherculano]

where were this video shotted ?

i think it's in Rio de janeiro - Brazil

i'm i wrong ?

[McBozburgerbum]

You're right. It says it in the video.

[P0tatoPotato]

yeh the guy says its hard to build a giant tube in Rio

[lndac02]

Quality advertising, a bit of thought went into this.Barclaycard I would stay with this agency if I were you, This will be a classic. Thanks for posting

[kuronekoi]

Yeah but first they made 150 people redundant where I sued to work... I love this add but hate what they've done to us!

[lndac02]

I am sorry to hear that, hope you find some better job. I was only commenting on the advert as being well made. I do understand how you must feel about barclays after just being made redundant

[bubblerosie]
