LTSA - Gonna Get Caught (New Zealand)

[lajoiedelavivre]

i always remembered this ad for the "notatall" comment, how he runs all the words together and the "don't worry love, they'll catch the bastard."

[squeekme]

love the "uuuh?" at 2:48

[milkman981]

;very good message!!!

[TheDarkFalcon]

Um I have looked over all you new zealand ltnz videos but cant find it. There was one which was real simple, it just showed a point of view of a man coming home and his wife opening the door and his children running to say hi each day. The conclusion of the advert is, it appears the man comes home, but he takes off a police officers cap (ie cop came to tell lady husband died). Any idea if you have it and I just missed it?

[PXbP]

INB4 "He killed Kenny!"

[Jianlibao]

Wow... even if the police don't catch you, your own guilt will. These ads show that brilliantly. It's also quite unsettling how the situations worsen with each ad - it really led me to think it'd end with the man dying in a crash, but the actual ending, I think, is just as powerful.

This ad does really well to show the dangers of drink-driving. If you ask me, honestly, I'd rather be the one to go in an accident than have to live the rest of my life knowing I was responsible for somebody's death.

Unfortunately, too many drivers are psychopaths or sociopaths who simply do not care enough about others' lives, and thus do not take care when driving.

Look through the comments on some of these commercials to see what I mean.

[electrogeek77]

Yeah, I think I'm starting to like the fact that my husband and I are homebodies.

[abhitron]

Wife: "Don't worry love, they'll catch the bastard"

*phone rings*

Wife: "Hello?... yes... uh huh... uh huh... thank you officer"

*turns towards husband*

Wife: "YOU BASTARD!"

[detrater]

don't worry love, theyll catch the bastard

"i fucken hope not"

[randymatsunaga]

Don't worry luv, They'll get the Bastard

"Dear I am that Bastard"

[ChrisBennett18]

i get this now well thats what you get when you drink and drive duhhhhhh

[abe213]

These ads were really powerful. Especially the ones which continued on each ad break like this one. Thanks man..

[wuzzlevideos]

When you say "continued on each ad break" what do you mean? Were they played in sequence over a few breaks?

Whenever we've had a series of ads, they played each one for a few days, and then started showing the next, then the next, etc. Check my uploads called Day One, Day Two, Day Three, and Day Four for an example of this.

[abe213]

Yeah they were played chronologically over a series of advertisement breaks, during a programme (usually at night). Thanks again for uploading. Brings back creepy memories from when i was a kid

[guywhoispissedoff]

Yeah they played about 3 every ad break didn't they? Every second ad or something like that.

[1RadicalOne]

I like that idea. That way you get to know the person, start to care about them.

All the more effective if they die.

[KaMaCaRz]

Thats actually kind of chilling.

[xpidf1]

Same scenario, same hazard avoidance

[ILoveES33]

Wishing to make sure I get this. He goes on not getting caught initially, then hits Mack? a friend of his, & then because he's not coping gets into a crash & is himself hurt?

[wuzzlevideos]

Nah, basically, every time they all go out, he drives home drunk, and nothing happens each time, then one time he ends up running his mate off the road and finds out about it from his other friends. He doesn't own up to it, but the guilt is with him forever from that point on.

[ILoveES33]

Oh, ok!! Thank you!

[nixcails]

Don't worry love they'll catch the bastard.

I loved this campaign when I was in NZ- the speed one was good- mainly radio based- "The Faster you Go, The Bigger the mess"

[SiliconBong]

I love the way the guy at 2:59 delivers his answer. After one of the drinkers says 'He's not coping well is he?' He says just three words. "...not at all..."

[Veron541]

Dude, that was good. Why do English drink drive adverts just make you laugh?

[bassetthound007]

Its actualy from New Zealand.

[KaMaCaRz]

I didn't find it funny.

[CalyxAsgard]

I can see why they doing the ads this way, they know that unlike on TV where you get caught or busted or killed for certain if you drink and drive, in real life that you usually get away with it but the odds are that sooner or later, it will happen if you keep it up.

[JDG198569]

Yurns to wife " my love I am the bastard"

[LoafOfPint]

Yeah I thought that was where it was headed. Or for her to know it was him and say "They'll catch some other bastard". Or for it to turn out she was the drunk the whole time, and wasn't even married.

[sonicxtails]

If only he could have said to her, 'Well, maybe hes not a bastard eh?'

[bucjo813]

thank you for posting this! these ads are such a part of NZ ethos.
