Bad ads on Indian TV

Hero honda hunk

I wonder if the same person directed all Hero Honda Hunk ads. In this ad, there is a club of wild bulls charging down the road.. and our hero waits downhill… the bulls see the ‘Hunk’ morph into a bull of extraordinary size and then leave the place… was this an ad for the bull or the bike??

Everybody follows the hunk…

Three fully grown-up donkeys ride in an SUV… and one sweetie has a copy of the ‘Himalayan Monsters’ in her hand. They see damage all along the way and stop at the entrance of a tunnel…. And behind comes our hero …the guys in the SUV say “Reverse” … and hero says “Reverse is not an option” ..

Well, he was right in one sense…bikes don’t have reverse gear !!

Iball inverter

I have a strong feeling that the director must have felt horny when he was creating this ad. There is absolutely no connection at all between the product and the ad.

Wife says “Richard, are you ready?”

Husband says “No, I’m not”

And wife walks away dejected….

He shifts to an iball inverter… and he gets ready fast !!! …. Style ?? wot ?? and they are both together early in bed.

Hero walks into store and calls the owner “Chotte!”… customers are queued up as though they are being offered free rations…

They ask “Tumko yeh chotte dikhtha hai kya?”

Hero replies (translated) “in comparison to Karbonn mobile’s jumbo screen and jumbo battery size, everything else is small” and to signify this… there is a Toyota innova parking beneath the hero’s legs. Wonder if all Kabronn jumbo mobile buyers turn into mall sized giants.

Amazing how one can call this an ad though… a lady in a swimsuit for a cement ad!!

A lady in red swimsuit walks up and in the background “Vishwas hai…isme kuch khaas hai”….

Now what are we supposed to understand?

I have a hunch that these guys hired the director of the ‘Hero Honda Hunk’ ad. Virender sehwag plays street cricket with kids and the whole town is watching… he plays with a tennis ball smashing it all over the neighborhood breaking window panes et al… all of a sudden grandpa comes up and says (translated) “he can break anything here, but not this wall” …

Kid is born with wings … grows up .. saves lives .. and one day sees the Jetta. Under the exchange offer, he trades his wings and drives off with a Jetta…what a jerk!!

I saw the ad around 10 times and just failed to understand what they were trying to convey.
