at first i thought what???? now i love it i think its brilliant

 

Only been showing for around 2 months !!

Keep up

 

Well, its kind of alright, cant see what all the fuss is about ?

 

maybe he's taken 2 months to realise he likes it?

 

I knew instantly that I liked Dairy Milk

 

not seen it that often didn't realise it had been out that long.

i'll get my coat.......................

 

You are forgiven as it's a good sign.......(ie. obviously you have a life and don't spend lazy hours watching the box and eating Dairy Milk like me !)

 

i still dont get wtf its all about

 

I wonder how long it took them to teach the monkey to play the drums. It seems to be quite a musician

 

He doesn't just do Phil Collins YouTube - Cadburys Gorilla Remix Bon Jovi "Livin on a Prayer"

 

I don't see what all the fuss is about either, it's a guy in a monkey suit, playing the drums (badly).

What am I missing?

What has it got to do with chocolate?

 

i seen this advert and i still have no idea how a Gorilla playing the drums whilst listening to Phill Colins can have any link to the increased sales of chocolate!?

am i missing something?

 

It raises product awareness by getting people like us discussing it....

Job done by the marketing people

 

So are you saying it has nothing to do with chocolate and that is the whole point?

 

Possibly..........but it's relation to chocolate is pretty much irrelavant....

What did a bald guy slapping people have to do with Tango?

It simply gets people talking about the advert/product and from my limited understanding of marketing......that's what counts

 

Did anyone notice the "Come on the boys" on his drums on the saturday. It was only the third time i'd seen it.

 

Tell Sid.

 

I don't get it either. At least the Tango advert had a link to the product: "the hit of the fruit" and a tagline: "you know when you've been tango'd." The Cadburys ad has neither. Weird.

 

From the cadbury website:
Well it just seemed like the right thing to do. There’s no clever science behind it - it’s just an effort to make you smile, in exactly the same way Cadbury Dairy Milk does. And that’s what we aim to continue to do; simply make you smile. So if a drumming gorilla’s not enough, wait until you see what else we have up our sleeves.

 

BEST VERSION

 

Would have suited an iPod ad better

 

YouTube - Cadbury Gorilla: Eclipse of the Heart Remix

quite like this version

 

Perhaps they should spend their money improving the excuse they call chocolate rather than spending it on ads selling their vile salmonella bars, Would a guy in a monkey suit playing drums on an ad actually make you go out and buy that crap?

 

Whaddaya mean its a bloke in a monkey suit?
Course its not - it's a real gorilla and he's just a cool dude.
'Spect you think Father Christmas doesn't exist too, don'cha!

 

It's got you talking about it

 

Talking aint buying though

 

All the people saying that it doesn't have any link to choclate and they wouldn't go out to buy chocolate just as a result of it are totally missing the point of the advert and this sort of advertising in general.

You are an advertiser's dream! lol

Am listening to that song now

 

I don't think I'm missing the point, I just wanted to know if there was a link between the ad and the chocolate that I was missing, simple question really.

If not, then I understand what they are trying to do.

Am I an advertisers dream? I don't think so, if I want to buy something then I will normally do a bit of investigation, read some reviews etc. rather than buying a brand that I've heard of.

As for making me smile, this particular advert I just find a bit weird and horrible in a strange way that I can't describe, so I don't think it has worked on me. (Plus I always buy Lindt if buying chocolate anyway.)
