What is the new Dairy Milk advert all about ? Talk about surreal. Two kids with dancing eyebrows.

    Are their names Sam and Ella?

    Cadbury won't be happy until people are traumatised at the mere sight of a Flake.

    Gorilla! Children of the Dammed! arrrrrr!!!


    I suppose the next advert will feature nuclear bombs.

    Not impressed with the ad. Just like their one with racing airport vehicles with Queen playing in the background. Too long and too pointless. Still, at least it's not trying to hijack the arse end of your brains with a dopey "ooh Danan" or "your worth it" type gimmick at the end.

    The goal of this campaign seems to be to create pointless adverts that get a lot of people talking. So while the adverts themselves are crap/irritating (yes, I am including the gorilla in that), they're fairly successful in achieving their aim.

    I happen to like the Gorilla. Never keen on the Trucks, but this is by far the worst.

    [URLhttp://tr.im/eyebrows[/URL] >> YouTube video

    Dunno how they're gonna remix this one like, unless they add a f*rt soundtrack.

    They seem to get most of their ideas from YT, so I assume they'll attempt their own alternative to another internet sensation. Maybe they'll get Chocolate Rain to sing them a song

    I've seen and complained on here about these stupid adverts. Not bought a Cadbury's product in ages though. Therefore the aim is not being fulfilled.

    Unfortunately no amount of rubbish advertising is going to break my addiction to Cadbury's Dairy Milk...:o

    We saw this last night for the first time and thought it was terrible. Me and my mum were sat saying it was possibly one of the worst adverts we've seen in a long time.

    The following advert was about a boy who wanted a poo but only at Pauls house. It was then we released that maybe the Cadbury one wasn't too bad :D

    Nope, I haven't seen it yet but once you've seen the Paul's Poo one quite frankly everything else in the advertising world is Oscar material in comparison.

    I've seen it a couple of times.

    I know the previous batch of Cadbury ads have bore no relevance whatsoever to chocolate, but this one takes the term 'random' to a whole new level!

    that ad is beyond the pale! :p:p:p

    such bad taste! on a par with the little lad sitting on the pan, sniffing the air and squishing the Touch n Fresh!

    I don't need to know ANY of these things! I have children myself and like most parents don't need to be reminded of their far from salutary toilet habits!!

    euw!

    but the CDM ad made me laugh (a bit) :o

    I'm sure your one man/woman boycott will hit Cadburys where it hurts. ;)

    The ads are very clever. They have nothing to do with chocolate but they get people talking. What all the weird Cadbury ads have in common is purple.


    I doubt if the ad. agency got it from Musrum by Thacker and Earnshaw “Mandrills and bishops have purple in common”.

    I hate it! It's creepy. Creepy kids (especially the girl who I'm sure is totally normal looking when not doing this advert), creepy eyebrows, creepy balloon thing (what's that all about?) and I hate the music too. Bring back the gorilla all is forgiven.

    But you're talking about it ;)

    Realistically it won't make people buy it just because of the advert, not a lot of adverts do, but may be more likely to if they're looking for something in a shop

    It's subliminal. Everyone knows it, talks about it, and has an opinion on it. Job done. I guarantee Cadbury's chocolate bar sales rise.
