I don't know but those are some talented eyebrows.

 

[KathyTX]

Love it!!!

 

[TennisGirl80]

I had a cousin that could do that! He could do a "wave" with his eyebrows!

how interesting, not an advert I have seen here ....

 

[DisneyGalUK]

What, you mean that DIDN'T make you run out and buy a Dairy Milk

The Cadbury Dairy Milk adverts are very odd lately - Theres been a Gorilla playing drums to a Phil Collins song, and a truck following an Aircraft

Very odd - I haven't seen the eyebrows one before though

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

OMG that was hilarious yet odd?

 

[Bluestars]

That was funny. You'd think at least one of the kids would have held a chocolate bar or something since that was the purpose of the commercial.

It's not.

The ad agency who did the "Eyebrows" spot also did the drumming Gorilla and the airport trucks ads for Cadbury. The ads are meant to be silly, strange, comical . . .

and memorable.

They said in an interview they hoped it would be interactive in a way that people were doing the eyebrow dance/gestures. In the end it doesn't have to pitch the product per se - it just has to catch your attention. Which is obviously did - so they've done their job well.

Here is the link from the Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/23/cadburys-ad-eyebrow

"Like the other productions 'Eyebrows' is all about losing yourself and embracing that moment of joy ... after all, everybody remembers pulling a silly face or getting up to no good as a child when backs were turned."​

Killjoy

 

[lisadr]

Might I also add that real Cadbury is one of life wonderful joys .

Sorry Hersheys you pale in comparison

 

[Scurvy]

That was hilarious!

(Am I the only one who caught herself wiggling her eyebrows while watching that?)

And now I really want a Cadbury bar, and the European Market where I buy British foods is closed until Tuesday.

What the HELL was that?!

hey-if it gets you to remember the product it's doing it's job.

to this day i can remember john cleese's dialogue from a callard and bowser candy commercial shown here in the u.s. even though i've never seen the product anywhere in stores-

"cal as in CAL-vin coolidge" "ard as in ARD-vark", "bow as in mutiny on the
BOU-N-ty" and "ser as in pan-SER division"

I like ads that stand out at bit - for any other Brits on here I really like the T-Mobile dancing in Liverpool Street Station one - I just adore it, makes me want to dance. I also really enjoy the new Virgin Atlantic one. An not forgetting the Natural Sweets one 'Bring on the Trumpets'

Wooo good old Cadbury they know how to make them

The gorilla one before was ace, and this was is well.....interesting
But Cadbury just rocks my world, fancy a bit now hmmmmm - is there anywhere you can buy it in Orlando? Because if not I might just have to take some with me when we go if not.
When I was in the guides we went to the cadbury factory once - can you imagine a load of 11 year olds running riot in a chocolate factory They gave you tons of freebies and the whole place just smelt so NICE!

I wish I was that talented.

 

[emily1982]

The T.mobile ads are brilliant!!!!

The cadburys ads obviously work because we're talking about it.

I LOVE the T-Mobile advert! Makes me want to dance too!
