Really great ad! Very funny and I saw it through a friend recommending it – which isn’t something that has happened in years!

It feels like an upbeat, MLA sponsored rendition of Steve Tolz’ ‘Here goes nothing’. Was the script written by ChatGTP perhaps?

Time for you to get back to writing the next overly cooked and super underfunded lamb ad I presume. What junior Director are you going to groom?
What bogan bbq joke are you going to rehash?!
You’ve got 12 months, giddyup!
You’re still the toast of the industry.
You can do it! I believe in you.

Agree 100%. Really lked the 3m film, went and hunted down the 30s which was noticeably absent from this PR – honestly can’t imagine what I would’ve thought if I watched the cutdown before the film. Super confusing.

The 3min film here makes sense. But the 30s cut down simply doesn’t work. There’s too much to unpack, and it feels laboured and confusing. This is the version that will be served to consumers the most. Not this one. Agencies fall into this trap time and time again. They all want the blockbuster and promise the world with the cut downs in order to get it across the line. But in the end, the spots that need to work the hardest, are the ones that suffer. But I don’t want to take away from the fun of the 3min film. I quite enjoyed it.

This could’ve been funny but the timing was way off at points. Definitely some funny moments but a lot fell flat. I also heard a rumour that these ads are pretty much charity jobs where no one makes money…is this really healthy for the industry? Especially for an organisation that does so much harm to the planet.

Yeah I just took a break from my Harvey Norman banner and instant coffee to say whether or not you were involved in this ad, you really come across as arrogant. Honestly, if you have that opinion about yourself and your ads, you are beyond reproach.

Critique is allowed. Instead of getting your panties in a knot and lashing out with an offensive attack on the person, (everyone with a negative response to my work must be making shit work and are jealous), take the criticism and use it to your advantage.
News flash, not every piece of work you make and not everything posted here is perfect and genius.

Lots of self-commenting happening here, can’t we just let the people comment without a dozen anonymous commenters praising a new director on a first-name-basis.

Another overcooked 3min long script in an industry that only rewards the idea of ‘big’. There’s a few ok moments, but mostly it’s boring, basic, overly cheesy and the performances are stunted. It’s very drawn out for a simple idea with no real pay off. There’s no memorable moments visually and I didn’t laugh at the line gags. I really wonder what punter is going to sit through this whole thing?
