MTN's new ad

[AirWolf]

MTN's new "Dumelaaaaaaaa" ad is even worse than Cell C's "You-can-talk-for-free-on-weekends" ads.

What the hell were the producers smoking?

They obviously watched the Bud Beer commercials where they go Wazzzzzuppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

Maybe Bud will sue MTN - I'll hold thumbs since MTN went after Nandos

actually cant believe the ad agency got away with that cuz it is a complete rip of the Budweiser campaign.

Such a rip-off of Scary Movie...

I agree though, seeing as they are going for Nando's, buddweizer should go after them...

They have been doing this for a while: ripping off international ads (blimmin old ones at that) and essentially rerunning them in SA with all the associated cost of recreating the [then] original idea.
Its actually a huge indictment on SA's Mac wielding ad industry that for all the noise there isn't a single original idea between them.

The OK/GO ad (treadmills) was basically someone else's music video(OK/GO); the stickies ad was ripped off of either a youtube vid or an overseas ad; the wasuuuup was ripped from Budweiser and changed to Dumelaaang; cant wait to find out who they ripped off for 'clap clap'.
Sad.
...whats even sadder is that SA's standards are so earth shatteringly low that these clowns win awards for it.
Go ...pass me the bucket

It's too noisy for my liking, but yet again, it's a good marketing strategy, the more noise and irritating the ad is, the better people are bound to know and remember it!!
