Love it, great ad! Gets people talking, whether you love or loathe it... cool music melody, well shot and just so very KIWI to be! Agency met the brief, talking/connecting kiwis anywhich way the can and they did! Beats anything overhere in Oz with Telco ads.
I didn't have a problem with the add. It was fun... The song is awesome too.
What I don't get is how ppl here are moaning about them being fake - what about every other add on tele? Even the ones for the bank featuring real 'stars' - don't you think they were scripted and rehearsed?
As for Telecom being pricy - well you have a choice, don't you? I think you'll find they're pretty reasonable. But being Kiwi's, you have to moan about something, right? LOL
My friend who works in a law firm got people asking them for the fake law firm on this ad, thinking it was real. Very sad if people want lawyers like those ones.
I completely agree, always best to check facts before suggesting someone is wrong. The ad was made by Telecom featuring a fake firm, "McCallum & Partners", with the natural assumption that it is a law firm.
From what I gathered this ad got alotta shit from the companies office. Mind you telecom use that ad as a ploy for their shitty service and honestly Jobs aint anywhere like that man wtf are telecom on man.
@nemesisnz666 Talking a load of crap there, we have alot of services with Telecom and they are good and totaly honest maybe you should get your facts right.
you know that Total Home ad with the boy in the lounge half full or quarter full of jellybeans, well does anybody know if that ad is on here, or if thats real or just real good as graphic effects???
you know that Total Home ad with the boy in the lounge half full or quarter full of jellybeans, well does anybody know if that ad is on here, or if thats real or just real good as graphic effects???
oh ok...iv ben googling it for the last week now!!!(hahaha)...i was finking that maybe it iz possible 4 telecom ta get a room ful of lollies!!my man rekons nah itz gud az graphics. ges i wana prove him wrong. if im wrong then sweet az..i proved 2him that it was marc ellis dressed in drag on da charlies fruity ad.
Oh yea and the girl in green is FLIPPEN HOT!!! Definately not the best I've seen, but pretty pretty - I think she must be from Wellington - the world capital of hot women (or atleast on lampton quay!)
This idea ( im pretty sure ) is off that Jessica Alba one.. if you dont know what im on about look up I beat You / jessica alba panic at the disco .. it should come up.
and oommgg I luv this ad lol.Whenever it comes on im like, singing along. . its pretty cool.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Really? You hope a misleading advert wins Fair Go's "Best Ad Award"? Bah, I hope not. Not only are they all actors but they don't even work at McCallum and Partners. How could they, it's a fake company.
Why would they use a real company? That real company would obviously get a lot of advertising. I know this ad doesn't do or sell anything for Telecom, but it makes sense using a fake company.
How can you say that this ad dosent do or sell anything for telecom? This is a classic telecom ad which rather than pushing specific products, they are trying to appeal to business customers that they are a one stop shop for all your telco needs and by adding a catchy song it grabs everyones attention. Telecom spend millions on advertising every year and as an ex employee I can assure you they are always selling somthing.
I've been told this is a direct rip off of a 'Youtube sensation' video that an actual company made at their Friday office drinks, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help?
looks like it would have been fun to make an ad like this but whats really annoying about this ad is the silly girl in green who keeps popping up 3 times in the commercial like she is hogging the spotlight. the others who have set out actions to take in the ad is really quite good, they do their piece and that it. the girl in green is soooooooo annoying GOSH!
Jeezez, so many serious comments. It's a fun ad. Well done to tyhe guys who came up with it. Just a shame who it's for, but then name an honest, fair and nice to deal with telecoms company. At least they are ahead of Vodafone who must be the worst arses in teh world.
this is a blatant rip off of the digg video they recorded for their sanfransisco meet and greet, cant seem to post links here search for digg dubb groove is in the heart in google.
when you see it, you will be able to see from the camera work and style that whoever came up with this *idea* was actually just stealing it from these guys.
how can it be a rip off of digg when that isn't even original? Lip syncing like this has been around since youtube first started getting popular. It's hardly something that the guys at Digg thought up themselves.
Besides which, that digg party was only 2 months ago, ads like this take at least that long to make
its a design firm.. im in that video clip, we actually shot 2 different version.. i like the other one better, but dont know if they will show both version..
underground3214567 perhaps you should read the name of the business once again, it does say partnership, hence it is not a limted company, at a guess this would typical of a law firm.
it has limited partnerships registered at companies office, but since the name given in the ad (and on the signs on the wall) doesn't say 'ltd' or 'limited' that implies that it is not a limited partnership, and instead is an unlimited partnership, and so then it wouldn't be on the list of limited partnerships anyway (if it was a real company)
they would say 'LLP'actualy - regardless the point is the same, the ad does not say they are limited liability partnership and so you would not expect them to be registered there
Aaaaw, did I use too many words of more than one syllable that you didn't understand and so your only response is to insult me?
Never mind, when you grow up you will realise that getting upset just because you don't understand something isn't going to get you anywhere in life. (especially if it something as trivial as a comment on a youtube video)
