New Skoda advert.
Putting aside the odious Julie Andrews singing that AWFUL song, does anyone else find the new Skoda advert, the one where they make a car from cake, annoying, if not downright obscene?
What a pathetic waste of food.

i personally think thats a fantastic advert. very innovative, imaginative, and rather clever. ok its made from cake and a waste, but whats to say after wards it wasnt cut to pieces and fed to all the orphan children in africa.
seriously it could have been given to the less needy, although im still not gonna buy a skoda

People will buy on the strength of value for money, reliability and build quality. Not watching a car being made from food if it was really made that way at all. It's all about trying to catch the limelight and be the talk of the town on which point they have succeeded. As for wooing punters, well you liked the advert but wont buy the car so failure on that front. Surely your comment about the food being given to the needy was made with tongue firmly in cheek.
im off to work

I think its a great ad! 
As for "needy" - prehaps if they spent more time working, studying, not killing their neighbours because of their stolen goat/differing tribe then maybe they could shove their faces full of high sugar, high fat bakery produce just like us.

I think it is brilliant. Makes me stop what I'm doing to watch it. Skodas aren't that bad anyway. At least they do a sporty version!

I think it's terrific and very innovative, better than the poncey Honda nonsense.
What was the environmental impact of filming all those boats, cars and bikes for the sake of "brand awareness"...?
Probably worse for the planet than some starving people missing out on some cake and jelly.

Its damn annoying.
We have a Fabia as a company car, along with a Focus and 2 Toyota Avensis's.
Everyone goes for the Toya's or the Ford. The Skoda redlines at 4k5 rpm!!!

why *should * there be a parallel? they are advertising a Skoda car, and using a pretty clever way of doing it.. i would much rather watch 'it' than the **** in the Strongbow Ad going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA , but as ads, they both serve the basic rule of thumb of ads.. they get the populus TALKING!!

People buy things, in no particular order,
for because: -
It made them feel good
They were impulsive
It fulfilled a need in their lives
It looked good in front of the neighbours
It was a present
They needed one
They wanted to 'belong' to the brand
It endowed them with the virtues of leading role models
If people only bought because of the reasons cited above they would never buy: -
TVRs
Any luxury car valued over £20k never mind £30k
Cigarettes
Victoria Beckham jeans at £345 a pair
Gordon's Gin (as opposed to Aldi own brand which you drink
)
