@fuzzylon When you say "they are clever in how they have re-used this idea" you surely mean "they are cheap cunts who wanted to buy rights for the original video, but because of the price tag they just copied it", right?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to make such a big deal out of this commercial using an existing idea to build upon - unless there are intellectual property rights issues, of course.
I think it's a clever idea to take the treadmill idea place it in the street with ordinary people and use it to illustrate what Berocca makes you feel like (supposedly) - it is a TV commercial - it's not meant to be high art.
I think they are clever in how they have re-used this idea.
This ad is played almost in every single commercial break here in Finland, and it starts to piss me off! It's just those people dancing with the tredmills! How is that related to the product they are selling?
The best ad ever. Nobody can do this any better. Thank you berocca for a truly wonderful ad. The two ladies and the gentlemen are the best you'll ever find to do this. They have real talent.
Whether or not a person thinks the rip-off is a better version of the original, this is still PLAGIARISM. The legal consequences for this are huge, but the social injustice of it is just as big.
Its been said before - but I hope anyone who sees this knows its a rip-off of a music video by the American band 'OK Go' and the song is 'Here it goes again' as seen in the simpsons episode 'Husband and Knives' you can find both here on Youtube.
BAYER found a very entertaining indie video on YouTube, they thought it had a lot of mass appeal and so they decided it would make a good contribution to the Berocca ad campaign.
So they contacted the creators of the video, bought the rights to draw inspiration from it, and then they published this.
It's not theft, it's clever advertisement based on a symbiotic agreement.
Presumably someone is editing these comments...? They all seem overwhelmingly positive, when in actual fact this is a horrendous rip off of the OK GO video. I mean, come on... surely someone else has noticed this?
@dananddanfilms I think it's a good thing to re-do old ideas. Without this video and without your comment, I would've never watched the original OK GO video. Not everyone knows every band in the world, you know.
They asked for permission, didn't get it, but went ahead anyway. It looks like they spent 10 times as much on something not even half as good. I think everyone should boycot Berocca.
What kind of sick person could possibly find this music GOOD? Ok, I agree, its catchy but seriously...its the most hideous song it has ever been my displeasure to have slithered down my ear drum. And yes, this advert is a big huge giant rip off OkGo's music video.
Pathetic rip off - this ad agency should be sacked for laziness, plagiarism and managing to make the "new version" worse than the original. What's the point?
What is the matter with some of you twerps? Lighten Up! It's not a rip-off, it's called PASTICHE - definition: Imitation, employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although jocular, it is usually respectful.
Disgraceful, pathetic rip-off of the OK Go video, as pointed out by other users. Why take such a great, original concept and reproduce it wholesale to flog this worthless product? Shameful.
Does anyone know where to find another ad by Berocca, one with a man drinking a glass of it in his bathroom then he goes to work, to the gym and so on and is superfocused. ?? Please, really nee to find it!
fuck berocca. What an okgo rip off.
