  • HE SAID CUNT AT DA END

  • The last Word is "Aus-kunft". "Information" in english.

  • Did he say Cunt at the very end?..... Very rude dude

  • Listen closer: Its not english, its german ;-)

    The last sentence is: "Die kennt sich Aus-kunft".

  • I remember this shooting, I'm the blonde guy of the advertising, we make this spot on 11th July.

  • Wow, hi caferasmus :-)

    On 11th July? Interesting! But the computer-animations took a few weeks. So the final version was finished on september 2001.

  • @magicongmbh Hey, pleased to meet you! I was one of the actors here in the commercial. Amazing situation... See u.

  • @caferasmus

    I was there too, we later built and filmed the miniatures (plane and billboard etc.) in Munich.

    It was truly crazy to see the first news about 911 happening 2 days after the spot aired... but they pulled it within hours, at least very very quickly. I don't remember seeing the commercial after I saw the news about what had happened in NY

  • lol,i love how a german commercial is considered a part of this,lmfao

  • @schuminweb I see. Thanks for getting back to me. Thinking about other ways to destroy your old slogan I bet using a plane will stay in people's memories much better.

  • @Caellest89 Going from the materials I read at the time, Telegate was using the plane as a symbol of destroying their old slogan of "Da werden sie geholfen", as this commercial was supposed to introduce a new marketing strategy for Telegate, and the new slogan "Die kennt sich aus-kunft".

    The timing for this spot, however, was quite unfortunate, as no one would have expected that people would do something very similar to what is depicted here in real life.

  • germany did it, right?

  • @DerMessermann Yes I remember. On 9 September release on tv, but only for two days, amazing!
