COI - One More Dave (UK)

[TomHoole]

This is actually an advertisement for Weetabix

[pvcmanz]

This has nothing to do with ketchup

[wozziesgirl]

I'm sure I remember seeing an extended version of this where there was a very sad looking Christmas tree in the background and and the woman was explaining how since the accident last CVhristmas she had had to give up her job to care for him and since he obvioulsy couldn't earn anymore things would be tight this year and she wouldn't be able to get much of a present for the teenage son, seen on the sofa, all in all not much of a Christmas.

@wozziesgirl Wow, really? Any more information from anybody on this would be greatly appreciated, because I have absolutely no idea about it.

[jimjams91]

This is a very clever ad IMO. One More Dave, I like the play on words =]

[kevthejoker]

I wouldn't worry to much about this man. he is an actor called daniel ryan. and is just doing a brutal advert as a brain injured and parelised man

[wuzzlevideos]

Yeah, that's the fella. It's a great piece of acting. His eyes his fucking eyes ahhhhh!

[vxr1234]

Adverts that show the dangers and consequences of drinking driving these days are not powerful at all, i remember this advert and the effect that it had on me, if they re-showed THIS advert drink driving incidents would reduce dramatically. Bring back the hard hitting adverts thats what i say

[mubd1234]

Duurrrrrr.

(slobbers all over chair)

[ppRoss]

omfg........that is sooooooooooo soooooooooooooooo sad

[sweetmeika]

This is one of the most powerful anti-drinking and driving ads I've ever seen.

The close-up shot of his eyes almost makes it seem like, despite the obvious damage to his 'Dave' is aware of what's happened to him & how he used to be.

[justin7036]

you taking htr Pi** my fiance was knocked down an killed by a drink driver in 2001. maybe you would feel differantly if it was a loved one of yours.

[Robin814]

I had an DI come to our school and showed this and said he met him!

[BlackmoonUK]

Oh dear. That hits hard doesn't it?

[xChiichiix]

Creepy..

[MidlandNinja]

He wasn't real, it was an actor called Daniel Ryan playing a fictional character. Just found that out.

[wuzzlevideos]

Cool, thanks for the info :) How on earth did he get his eyes like that though!

[SpamNapkin]

he does a convincing job.

[MidlandNinja]

I remember this ad - about 1995 was it?

Not sure if it was a real life person or just an actor.

[wuzzlevideos]

1995 is a damn good guess. I'm not completely sure but it sounds about right. No idea if Dave really is disabled or not.

[Applemask]

Must have been 1995, it's on one of the commercial breaks from then that I did a Hard Sell of.

[FEZW1CK9]

I remember seeing this ad the first time around. It put the shits up me then, too.

[mordredt02]

The guys saying "just one more" implies that Dave already had at least one drink. So there's a good chance that even if he did get half, he could still end up in the same condition. If he knew he was going to be driving, he should've skipped the bar, period. I guess they assumed we're smart enough to figure that out.

[LoafOfPint]

Maybe he's like Andy Pipkin. He was like that to his mother the whole time, but then goes out and gets pissed. No, no...

[LoafOfPint]

To continue the 'Pipkin Theory', notice that someone calls him 'mate', but it clearly sounds like 'Matt'. Matt Lucas, anyone?

Certainly has more weight to it than the Benoit 'conspiracy' theories.

[LoafOfPint]

OMG! OMG! Also, yeah, the other bloke is called DAVE(id) Walliams! ARGH!

[scaritnow]

v good

[teddyboy73]

That most be showed to everybody, 'cause there's worse thing than death. Like the rest of your days in this conditions.
