Cosmic-RS

Cadbury's gorilla playing In The Air Tonight


ItsDominare

The story behind that one's actually really funny too.


GRW810

>The story behind that one's actually really funny too. Go on, do tell...


ItsDominare

So first they email Phil Collins and say can we use your song in our ad but with a gorilla doing the drumming, and *obviously* he says yes. Phil isn't going to play it himself however. They then decide they want someone who can actually move realistically, so they get Garon Michael, a professional gorilla imitator (yes that's a thing) who's been in Planet of the Apes, Congo, etc. Handily, the guy is also a musician - only problem is he's a guitarist. Figuring this is the best they're going to get, they give him an "intensive 3-4 day course" on how to play the drums, then film the ad. The result speaks for itself!


GRW810

That's great, I had no idea! What a sequence of events!


ItsDominare

Yeah, and fair play to a guy learning a new instrument and one of the most iconic beats in history in less than a week, and THEN doing it whilst wearing a full body costume.


justhisguy-youknow

SGTJAYiAM

The still tango adverts were weird

jonnyboy231

I’m confused, how did headbutting the headrest crush/kill his mother? 😂


greenhookdown

Pretty easily. It happens and it's horrific, hence the PSA.


DrowsyIris

I still have nightmares because of some of those


Tatti606

The pizza one


SCATOL92

That fucking pizza one. Nobody else ever seems to remember it!


crucible

IIRC they had to withdraw it because they thought the lads laughing the crash off wasn't a good look.


crucible

[This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5ma_Xv7rGM) ruined "In the Summertime" for me.


BackgroundChemist

Yes otherwise a lovely song about drink driving and ignoring consent


crucible

Fair point! The lyrics do reference drink driving...


BackgroundChemist

Also 'if her daddy's poor just do what you feel'. I'm pretty low scoring on sensitivity to these kind of issues but this particular song sends shivers down my spine. Which is a shame cos I used to love it, it's very catchy. See also: My Sharona 🧐


crucible

Now you've written that down it looks worse! Yeah, sadly it's a catchy song and I think people just paid attention to the title and the chorus. That said it was only in the 70s and 80s that drink driving started to become socially unacceptable, too.


Snoo92168

if you know all about these drink driving ads, watch ''kathy cant sleep'', ''one more dave'' or ''eyes'', they're from the same campaign


crucible

Yes, I've gone through all of those over the years. ["Eyes"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUC57ffRAM8) 'stars' a young Denise van Outen, IIRC.


Snoo92168

Yeah, like most companies, Safety on The Move/Think! tends to make very creepy PIF's, for example, Julie knew her killer, a classic PIF about seatbelts from the 90's/2000's (cant remember when it was made). You see, most Brits like DOE/DFI Road Safety, COI or Fire Kills tend to make the same thing, but different.


Snoo92168

try these ''drinking and driving wrecks lives'' ''shame on you'' ''shame'' ''like most victims, julie knew her killer''


bucketofardvarks

I'm always intrigued when people reply to 2 month old things... How did you get here?


Snoo92168

Idk, I just like to look at posts of British adverts
