i reckon this ad is good not only because the cgi/post prod is fantastic but also because it's one of the most finished AFD pranks i've ever seen and even had bbc breakfast and the wright stuff frothing over it haha. they had david attenborough in on the prank as well this morning when he was on bbc breakfast.. considerably more entertaining than that 'white season' promo you lot were wanking over...
I have become a nun and sealed my wing-wang-doodle up with pollyfilla.
I will eschew the cock-suck, the monkey-spank, albatrossing, the rustry trombone, the pirate, the fish supper, the cheese plate, the Sid James, the battle bridge basin, the rolling lawnmower, the hot fudge sundae, the broken jam jar and the driving test.
I've flushed the uppers, downers, vicodin, crack, H, charlie, skunk, billy, pills, special K and those monkey suppositories left over from Boxing Day.
The BBC spot is great. Fantastic idea brilliantly executed.
I got an erection (mentally), watching it.
I would have got a tingle in my lady business if it worked properly, something is wrong; it looks like a vandalized Badgers set, and not in a good way.
At least I’ve got the Reggae Reggae Sauce and deep heat to look forward to later
Yeah, scamp, you berk, you so obviously fell for it. Derrr! Putting the director's name down as Rilap Loof just shows you had no clue whatsoever.
Or have I just been double April fooled by Anon 10.14 pretending to be thick. Or have you been fooled by my pretending to have been fooled by Anon 10.14 or...
I think this works whether it's April 1st or not. I'd say the timing was unfortunate even. Either way, one of the best bits of animal CGI I've seen in a long time. Kicks the crap out the singing dog.
I once heard that when critting a young team's book he and Squib pretended that Paul was a blind art director. So the team had to describe all their work to him.
Don't know if it's true... but I thought that was genius.
Paul does fit at least some of these definitions of the word:
gen·ius n 1.somebody with exceptional ability, especially somebody whose intellectual or creative achievements gain worldwide recognition 2.exceptional talent of a particular kind 3.somebody who has a particular skill 4.a special quality that characterizes a place, period, or people 5.in Roman mythology, a guardian spirit of a person, place, or institution 6.a demon or supernatural being 7.a strong influence, or somebody who exerts a strong influence
Why not a poll of best creatives of the last 20 - 30 years - Walter Campbell, Tom Carty, Paul Silburn, Juan Cabral, Tony McTeer, Trevor Beattie etc etc.
The overweight, coffee drinking, donut guzzling, ginger guy with disgraceful body odour in our office is pretty good - not great with people, but he can fix a computer.
Let's not do this Scamp. It's pretty stupid isn't it? Write something a bit more thought provoking for Friday - or is this blog the online equivalent of a red top rag? Who's sexier - Jordan or Kylie?
Don't get me wrong Cabrals box of youtube clippings are great, but Silburns ads make a huge variety of points. Not just 'this interesting looking isn't it?, we'll tell you who it's for at the end'. some of them are interchangeable, if the gorilla was wearing a hawiaiin shirt it could've been a Sony ad.

Flying Penguins. April 1st... mmmmm
But I thought penguins couldn't fly! That's amazing! But why Terry Gilliam? Is he replacing David Attenborough? Wicked!
This is so obviously an April fool.
Sorry, Scamp.
Great post production on the take off - very smart stuff.
Nice to see our tv license going to such a good, comedic use. now if only they applied those CGI skills to Doctor Who
Rilap Loof's work is much in evidence today.
Loved the fact that the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mirror both used this as their AFD stories ...

as it's april fools day...

quite a nice full page guinness ad in the metro this morning
there was another BMW spoof about cars being installed with an anti dog pissing device.
I feel like I've come to work in exactly the same shirt as someone else.

I can't work out if everyone has fallen for this or if the papers are just piggybacking on the BBC's gag.
Scamp, never mind flying penguins...
where is that shit-hot itv work you promised us????
Please God it wasn't the Boat Race ads.
But well done, the BBC, as they were wont to say on 'Points of View'.
Saw the ITV boat race ad in the paper. Nice.
Was that the one Scamp?
The "Making Of" film is now up as well:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/epeng002.shtml?src=ip_potpw
Boat race ad was pony.
In fact, 'nice' is probably the worst complement you could get.
itv programmes are shit. the ads advertising them are shitter.
The BBC spot is great. Fantastic idea brilliantly executed.

I like anonymous of 10.14.
"This is so obviously an April fool.
Sorry, Scamp."
Yeah, scamp, you berk, you so obviously fell for it. Derrr! Putting the director's name down as Rilap Loof just shows you had no clue whatsoever.
Or have I just been double April fooled by Anon 10.14 pretending to be thick. Or have you been fooled by my pretending to have been fooled by Anon 10.14 or...
April Fool!
There's a nice big flesh-wand in my mouth and two in my arse right now!
I think.
I find it so difficult to count when I'm ripped to the tits on disco biscuits.
Thanks Kate Moss for your Comedy Gold.
Quite a plausible Fools on David this morning.
Is that better than Cadbury trucks? I'm off to blow my boss
Hang on... We pay them our money. Then they spend shitloads of it to play an elaborate prank. On us.
Nice one Beeb.
Fucking April Fools, yeah.
Anon at 8.47. It's a genuine ad for BBC I-Player that theBBC decied to turn into an April Fool for the launch. Take a chill pill buddy
I think this works whether it's April 1st or not. I'd say the timing was unfortunate even. Either way, one of the best bits of animal CGI I've seen in a long time. Kicks the crap out the singing dog.
Flying penguins FTBS*
*For The Black Swan. Jagetme?!
i think this is brilliant.
pencil for special effects at the very least.
silburn. genius.
careful with that word genius mister. or miss.
why?
the man shits all over juanny-come-lately and his one-trickers.
Seriously. Silburn basically invented the viral.
And he's done the bollocks in every medium. Award-winning, populist, with many different partners and on his tod.
He does piss on JC, I'm afraid, and if there is an advertising genius, he's it.
10.52 here. yes, he is very very talented. BUT HE'S NOT A FUCKING GENIUS.
Juanny versus Silly... now there's a blog poll i'd like to see.
I once heard that when critting a young team's book he and Squib pretended that Paul was a blind art director. So the team had to describe all their work to him.
Don't know if it's true... but I thought that was genius.
The blind art director was Vince when he worked with Ged Edmonssen. Vince has since made a full recovery

Paul is the Dogs bollocks.
I don't have bollocks anymore, dogs or otherwise.
I still haven't found my severed cock in a jar (that looks like lobster Bisque, or Pea and Ham soup by now).
Kite you're like Kate Moss, without the humour.
Silburn is far better than Cabral. It's a fact. Come on Scamp, do the poll:
"Would you rather have Paul Silburn's reel or Juan Cabral's reel."
Probably want to remind them of who did what, too...
Silburn gets my vote
and mine
I can't choose! I'm too much of an arse licker
maybe you arse lickers should have a poll on who's got the tastiest bumhole
the Brazilian geezer at Fallon who did the Thorntans monkey ad gets my vote
Who gives a shit, we're all going to die of old age, liver problems or disease.
Can I vote for the team from shop who did the Thorntons ad?
i agree....
of course you do....we're the same person, trying do muster up some kind of support for ourself.
Why not a poll of best creatives of the last 20 - 30 years - Walter Campbell, Tom Carty, Paul Silburn, Juan Cabral, Tony McTeer, Trevor Beattie etc etc.
Let's not limit it to Messrs Silburn & Cabral.
What do you say Scamp?
Abbott? Webster?
And so on.........
We always get forgotten.
The only reason you lot are even looking at this site
WHILST YOU SHOULD BE MAKING ADVERTISMENTS
is because of us.
How about a list of the best IT guys you have worked with.
The overweight, coffee drinking, donut guzzling, ginger guy with disgraceful body odour in our office is pretty good - not great with people, but he can fix a computer.
Nice idea. Let's do Cabral v Silburn. I'll put it up on Friday.
Who's Paul Silburm?
Let's not do this Scamp. It's pretty stupid isn't it? Write something a bit more thought provoking for Friday - or is this blog the online equivalent of a red top rag? Who's sexier - Jordan or Kylie?
Silburn isn't it?
Don't get me wrong Cabrals box of youtube clippings are great, but Silburns ads make a huge variety of points.
Not just 'this interesting looking isn't it?, we'll tell you who it's for at the end'. some of them are interchangeable, if the gorilla was wearing a hawiaiin shirt it could've been a Sony ad.
