The Mighty Boosh addressed this by bringing a giant Honey Monster on stage at one of their live shows and blowing his head off with an oversized hairdryer. Fair comment, I thought.
what an excelent response to being ripped off, skull fucking the barsterd! i will remember that one if I ever make anything good enough to be ripped off.
fuck knows how you submit a suggestion here, but there's a new phone ad on telly, think its for t-mobile, asking people on the street what they'll do with all their free texts/minutes/bollocks; it's a pretty straight lift of http://fiftypeopleonequestion.com/
Sorry to leave this as a comment (please delete it after reading) - but I couldnt find any other way of contacting site admin.
I noticed the othe night that the new Haribo ad

is a direct rip-off of a Will Ferrel skit on Funny or Die http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/33f2687080/good-cop-baby-cop-from-will-ferrell-and-adam-ghost-panther-mckay
I'd like to know why you're so ridiculously bitter that you end up creating a blog to highlight the fact that advertising is filled with reference to originality and genius. Of course it does. Everything is a version of something better/more pure. The question is who copied you?!!!!!! What prompted this furious blog??? You obviously work in advertising yourself. Do you need a hug and a cup of tea to talk about it?
It's actually more exactly like this Mighty Boosh clip, even the chuckling at the end is duplicated:

ReplyDeleteHaha yeah, then Tony Harrison comes over and skull-fucks him saying "go on, take it like you take other people's ideas".
ReplyDeleteNever screw with comedians, you can't win.

ReplyDeleteThere's a fine line between homage and copying. I'd say this is borderline....
