"We weren't saying that the innovation was sending the

balloon up. No one had done it in HD before and not as

an advert before. We didn't use a music sound track or 

any celebrity voices. That's the innovation. The fact that 

we created it as an advert".

That's what Andy said when confronted with the fact that

his ad is the antithesis of innovation on account of it 

being a re-enactment of something that had been done 

5 years previously, rather than the embodiment of 

innovation as was his intention. 

The shit-burgers at Grey are adamant that Simon 

Faithful was 'part of the team' on the Toshiba ad. Strange,

then, that he's not mentioned in any single piece of their

publicity or supporting material. 

Here, for your amusement, is Andy Amadeo - the 

blathering cunt-eyed shitwhistle responsible for stealing 

Simon's idea - pretending to have had an idea of his own:  

Surely a far more interesting project would have been to 

tether Andy to a balloon that would take him into the upper

stratosphere and see what effects the change in 

atmospheric pressure would have upon his brain?

Perhaps, just before he exploded his brain would become

sufficiently deformed from it's usual shape to produce an

original idea?

Or perhaps not.

Truly, here is a cunt so massive that it's clitoris has it's

own moon.

Cat Campbell & Jo Wallace

Thanks Matt & Dave for this impeccably researched guest contribution:

 

 

Original by Brad Bird

Rip-off by Cat Campbell & Jo Wallace (‘creatives’ and directors) at Quiet Storm

  

Cat:  “Hey Jo, I’ve just had a really good creative idea for the Richmonds ad!”

 Jo:  “Ooh, what?”

 Cat:  “Have you seen Ratatouille?”

 Jo:  “Yeah, who hasn’t?!”

 Cat:  “Well you know the scene where Anton Ego has a childhood flashback?”

 Jo:  “Yeah?”

 Cat:  “That!”

 Jo:  “Wow! Genius!”

This pair of utter cunts have not only ripped off the idea of this brilliant scene from Pixar, they’ve even copied the execution. They obviously weren’t even creative enough to come up with a different way of filming it, so just used the exact same camera effect for the flashback. They might as well have just stolen Pixar’s footage and superimposed Richmond sausages over the ratatouille.

On the website of Rushes - the post-production company - the VFX artist says:

“This was all about the counter zoom... the Directors, Cat and Jo, wanted more control of the distance we travel in the zoom.”

Of course, the concept wouldn’t have worked if it wasn’t exactly like it is in the movie.

These idiots deserve to have their eyes forked out so they can never again sodomize the world of film.

‘The taste that takes you back’? 

Yeah, to the last time you watched Ratatouille.

Fold 7 & Timeslice Films

Original by Denis Darzacq

Rip-off by Fold 7

Spank my face!

Fold 7 have opened new frontiers of plagiarism with this outrage . This really is beyond parody. Here's how these self-lubricating fuck sticks describe their ransacking of Mr. Darzacq's oeuvre:

"In November 2008 Cat Footwear approached Fold7 to develop their first global communications campaign. Fold7 created a concept entitled ‘Earthmovers’, which became the new sentiment and brand direction for Cat.

‘Earthmovers’ is more than a campaign. It represents a change in direction for the Cat Footwear brand. With a fresh and diverse product range from new designers, Cat Footwear aims to engage and attract a new and larger consumer audience. ‘Earthmovers’ supports and visually defines this movement, designed to turn consumers’ and retailer’s heads alike and to challenge their perception of the brand."

'Earthmovers' certainly is "more than a campaign". It's a fucking disgrace.

I have it on extremely good authority that the makers of these ads approached Mr Darzacq and asked him if he'd like to adapt his own work for commercial purposes. 

He declined. 

And the rest is entirely predictable advertising cuntery.

But the cunt deepens - check this out:

Behold the vast, canyon-like, sun-swallowing vaginas that are Fold 7 and Timeslice.  

Good luck Mr Darzacq. 

I look forward to the reading about the legal dispute in Creative Review.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Mother & Garth Jennings

What the fuck were they thinking?

Anyone's who's ever seen Flight of the Conchords will

immediately clock this as a blatant rip-off - right down to 

the glasses-and-sideburns styling of the Jemaine-a-like

and the Kiwi-accented sign off. 

And 'anyone who's ever seen Flight of the Conchords' is 

exactly who this ad is aimed at.

We can only assume they were hoping to get caught. 

Like serial killers who deliberately leave incriminating

evidence with their victim's corpse. Except instead of 

a hair or a glove, these cunts have left a trail of tepid 

shit leading from the crime scene straight to the Tea 

Building where the trail climbs the wall and spells the  

words 'we are thieving cunts' in fifteen foot high daubs 

of anus-paste.

***UPDATE***

Thanks to 'the worried well' for this titbit:

"The guy with glasses and sideburns is Kiwi stand-up

Jarred Christmas, he was a recurring character on the

FOTC show on Radio 4 and a friend of the guys from 

their New Zealand and Oz circuit days."

Not a friend any more, I'm guessing.

You pile of unfathomable cunts. Try doing this with your

fingers - pick up a pen, then place the tip on a blank 

piece of paper, then have an original idea, then write it

down. In the likely event that you fail to have an original

idea, simply reverse the pen in your grip and lower your 

eyeball onto the tip. Then continue to lower your eyeball 

until you are blind. Then continue until your are dead.

Thanks.

Cunts.

I'd been meaning to post this one for a while but couldn't 

track down the guilty parties. But then I received a

delivered not only the team and the director, but 

everyone from the account managers to the animators, 

all served up like a vertiable cheese board of cunts. 

Cheers Ben.

Isn't it amazing the number of advertising cunts 

whose 'love of film' translates into stealing from

films they love?

Why do they do it? 

Because it's the closest to filmmaking they'll

ever get. The equivalent of a stalker 

snatching knickers from a washing-line to be 

wanked over in the cold night, dead-nerved 

cock lubricated by tears of self-disgust.

Absolute cunts.

Flo & Pet and DSG

Original byTaijin Takeuchi

Rip off by Flo & Pet (directors) and DSG (agency)

Here's Flo & Pet's utterly pathetic attempt to defend their plagiarism of 'A Wolf Loves a Pork':

"While we were looking for a way to realise a story describing 'a journey through time' based on printed images, we were inspired by Mr Takeuchi's brilliant work. For this reason we intentionally quoted his work in our little movie while showing full respect to his original idea. We didn't mention his name because we did not want to do so without his prior agreement. However after considering some of the comments posted here we have decided to add credits to him and his work, which we obviously absolutely love."

You absolutely love it, do you? Do you really? 

Do you absolutely love your dog? Do you piss in it's eyes when it greets you at the door? Do you funnel liquid concrete down it's yap-hole then hurl it out the window and await the squelch of it's impact, idly toying with your jaded orifices while perusing YouTube for more things to steal? 

If you absolutely love something, you don't abuse it. You respect it. You know that. We know that. So please spare us this simpering drivel. 

Gargantuan cunts, one and all. 

Neil Raphan & Ken Opalsky

Yet another Blu rip-off, this time by Neil Raphan and Ken Opalsky.

There seems to be some controversy over who 'directed' this travesty.

Apparently it is definitely NOT TokyoPlastic.

So says 'FlyingGiraffe'. While denying Mr Plastic's involvement in this audio visual gang rape, Mr Giraffe also took the time to defend his right to plagiarise it should he wish to:

"Blu was offered the opportunity to direct the film before it was put out to pitch to other directors."

Interesting argument. Now consider this: 

Me and Blu are coming round your gaff later. We're going to stab you in the eyes with an assortment of increasingly thick frozen turds until you are blind. Then we're going to ram the very thickest one down your cock-end until it bursts like a fisted mouse.

OK? You cool with that?

Or you can do it yourself and we'll just watch. 

What's that?

You don't want anyone to ruin your eyeballs and genitals with ice-hard shit-chisels? They belong to you and it's your decision what happens to them?

Well we're going to do it whether you like it or not. 

And that's just tough shit. 

Or frozen shit to be exact. Although it does soften after it's been down your urethra for ten minutes or so.

Imbecile.

>>> THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR INEVITABLE RIP-OFF<<<

Tony Fiandaca and Paul Cummings - an apology

I accused Tony and Paul of plagiarising from 

PES's Human Skateboard ad for their 

GoGurt ad.

As it turns out, Tony vs. Paul - their stop-motion 

film that includes a short boarding sequence - 

was made was BEFORE PES made his film.

So I was wrong. Sorry Tony and Paul. 

Here, in chronological order of their creation,

is a bunch of stop-motion boarding/

surfing films.

First there was this (the whole film is great but 

forward to 4mins 18 for the relevant sequence..)

Then this.

Then this (Tony and Paul again). 

And finally...

Enoch Lam & Manuela Barbosa with David Frankham

Original by Michel Gondry. 

Rip-off by Enoch Lam and Manuela Barbosa at CHI, 

directed by David Frankham. 

 

This is classic advertising cuntery in full-effect. Enoch and

Manuela are the sort of fuck-boxes who think that

knowing who Michel Gondry is makes them 'creative'. 

But of course they are not. No more than poor  David 

is a 'director' because he's able to tell a camera 

operator where to point his camera.

 

The only consolation I can dredge from this toxic 

swamp of plagiarism is  a daydream in 

which Enoch, Manuela and David float across the 

rooftops of Soho in a bum-smoke powered hot air 

balloon, circle-jerking each other spastic as they 

congratulate themselves on having watched 

YouTube that week. 

Without warning, Michel Gondry swoops out of the

clouds atop a giant owl composed of discarded

coke-wrappers, outstretched crystalline talons 

shredding their balloon as it passes. Our three

hapless shit-burgers tumble to their deaths, 

and the last thing they see as the ground 

rushes up to meet them is a crowd joining hands

to create the outline of Gondry's mind-anus, 

gaping wide after it's merciless plundering.   

 

Cunts.

 

Nick Wray with Hadi

Rip-off by Nick Wray, directed by Hadi. 

Please welcome Big Trouble In Little Vagina, our very first guest contributor.  

"This ad is like your 110^th wank.

It’s lazy. Half arsed. Shameful. Painful. Boring.  And the pitiful dribble of ‘creativity’ that is threaded through this cluster-rape of a spot is laughable – rather like the clear liquid that slopes out of your cock-end during the contemptible finale of your vinegar stroke. The creative team managed to conjure the equivalent of watching the Transformers and, seconds later, “thinking up" the mighty Go-Bots.

Fuck off.

I hope that everyone involved in ripping off OK GO and director Big Bad Trish feels ashamed. Like their Gran had caught them tossing off to Sesame Street with their pet Chihuahua licking their tiny balls.

What a fucking disgrace."

Quite so.

Below is an advert depicting brightly coloured bunnies 

cavorting in a cityscape.  

The makers of the ad admit that they'd seen the artwork 

prior to shooting, but deny that it influenced them.

Rather like admitting to having fisted yourself that morning,

but denying that you're responsible for the gag-making 

stench-cloud of semi-digested black pudding that's 

stinking out the place.

Ted Heath & Paul Angus with Michael Moloney

Ted, Angus and Michael love Blu's work so much they've 

given him a great big adland-style high five by stealing his 

style without asking, paying, or acknowledging him 

in any way.

Fuck-trumpets, the lot of them.
