Friday Ad Break!

  • Pin it

I know this should have been your Friday delight but it was delayed, so today, I’ll give you the Friday Break, plus interest! Thank you for this great week, for your beautiful and insightful comments! I hope you had (and still have) a wonderful weekend!

This Friday Break was brilliantly suggested by our dear friend, Ellington! It’s funny, it’s something you wouldn’t want to miss and there’s so much more right after the jump! Enjoy!

Now what would advertising be without a little competition? Here’s an unexpected spoof of the above:

Aaaand, given that the Walk In Fridge was such a humongous success, here’s the sequel:

But getting back to fashion, you do remember the Zoolander? Well there he goes, brilliantly at work:

In Dutch? LOL, I can’t stand this commercial anymore but I got your enthusiasm girls!
Aren’t we Dutch funny right? I don’t like Heineken by the way. I prefer Belgian beer anytime…..

LOL! Now I’ve found out this way this are actually two different brands of beer!!! Never noticed it! Both not tasty…so that’s how much attention I pay to commercials……And is the Zoolander one for the American market? Of course…..
Oh, I loved Zoolander, the movie!

Gosh, I had to view them again and if I’ve the tv on tonight I’ve to pay some attention to those commercials I believe. On tv it’s like they go on forever! As long as the eyelashes they promise us….(you don’t want to hear me scream……)

Ellington, you’ve to explain how you found those Dutch commercials!

Well I found the copy that I sent to Kpriss on Youtube, but we have a version of the same commercial here in Canada. I just thought it so funny that they parodied how women love fully and fabu stocked walk-in-closets! :)
The reaction of the men really makes me laugh!
I just thought that it would be nice to see it in Dutch (to honour you! ) : )

I thought it was so great and even if it was one of those viral videos, I was unaware of it. My husband was hit by the “walking fridge” viral (and passed it on to me but I haven’t really got the idea until Ellington sent me that email suggesting the first ad). Then I made some connections and thought “hey! why not make the short story long?”.

Oh, anyway, I too thought it was brilliant advertising, spiced up with the wonderful Dutch sense of humor! And Zoolander was simply irresistible!
