Hovis decades advert

[UnquietDad]

Where the boy with the Hovis runs through the streets and through the years from the 40s to the present day.

I like it. It's very clever.

And I don't often like adverts.

Yeah me too. I actually sit and watch it. I don't watch adverts generally.

I love it too.

I have to say though, I don't understand why he says "yeah?" at the end when his mum asks if that's him back home. He gives it a really odd emphasis, and I just think, hey, it was only one word, how could you get it wrong?

It might just be me though...

yup

love it

Me too! its been arround for a while, i was saying to dp tuther day how it must have cost loads to produce and air. Adverts that are annoying me at the mo are the badly dubed cleaning product/washing powder averts.

Yes I like it, well thought out etc.

BUT

Does it make you want to go and buy the stuff?

I think the yeah is a private joke, as if to say yes but i've been runnig for 60 odd years!

Though his voice is quite deep for a child/ early teen.

My only (small) criticism is that they could have found something more iconic than just "fireworks" to represent the 90s. Yes, I know it's probably meant to be the Millennium, but a bit of Britpop wouldn't have gone amiss.

I think the fireworks are meant to represent the olymipcs

Are they? I didn't get that.

but the olympics are the 00's though?

Fireworks are for the millenium surely???

it makes me well up, a bit, preposterously
esp as its filmed - i think -in liverpool, my hometown

Me too!

The fireworks are defifnately the new millenium (otherwise the decades thing does not work does it?)
It makes me well up too, but at teh moment anything makes me well up...

defifnately
