TAKE THE DUCK.



Funny line in an otherwise semi-creepy Sony Handycam spot from BBDO. If this couple is recreating a special moment, where’s their camera. I’ll leave it at that.

I dunno makes sense to me, if the couple was trying to recreate the special moment, they wouldn't have the camera, but with the camera they don't have to recreate the moment. I'll admit it is somewhat creepy but I find it effective

Yeah, but recreating the moment or the pose still means you’re trying to capture it on film/video. I just wish there was more camera in it so the creep factor would be less.

Bill, BIll, Bill.... these ads suck more than most things I've seen this year.

True to BBDO form, a still shot, posing as a print ad/poster, is plastered all over NYC, where it serves to baffle passerby (and creep them out.)

Have not been blessed enough to see the TV

Highjive, you sure that's the link? I tried copying it to no avail.

And i can't help but like the "take the duck line" and the ad for it just being so messed up. Functional? You can make a case for it. WTF factor? Quite high.
