Oh dear. Carlton’s Big Ad was always going to be a tough one to make a sequel to. Flash Beer (www.flashbeer.com.au) was viewed over 37,000 times in the first two hours since it went up. I was one who saw it yesterday when it was launched but I’ve waited 24 hours to post a comment.
It’s based on the final scene of the movie Flash Dance ehich I haven’t seen. And I don’t think too many other blokes would have seen that movie either. It is a funny ad but it’s no where near as good The Big Ad. In fact, Toohey’s trebuchet ad (yes, they were trebuchets, not catpults) is far better than this one.
What were they thinking? Are they trying to get chicks to drink the beer now? Woeful.
