I've been seeing this clip of a squirrel doing a mission impossible to get to some nuts. It's some guy in England who set up the obstacle course back in 2011 (at least so the clip tells me. I think it's older). Anywho, it reminded me of the original, which was a Carling Black Label ad from 1989 (shit, I'm old). I remember it very clearly as it made my parents laugh out loud, or 'lol' as they say now (much to my disbelief). I don't know who made it.
Set to a take on the Everything is Awesome track and featuring characters from the LEGO Movie (I'm pretty sure Jon Snow makes an appearance around the 0.50 mark), the advert is the latest call from Greenpeace for LEGO to drop their partnership with Shell. From Unit9.
I've always been fond of Irn-Bru's advertising. I heard once that they weren't allowed to use the line 'made in Scotland from girders' anymore because, well, it's not (made from girders, that is). No idea if that's true or not. Anyway, they're sponsors for the 2014 Commonwealth Games that kick off in Glasgow on July 23rd, and here is their new ad. It's very good, and very Scottish. By The Leith Agency.
