I found this very funny. Love it.
And it’s shoot really well to set up the gag.
two things:
a) this is bloody hilarious
b) good to see the Hawaiian pack make a return!
’bout time Red Rooster picked up their game – always great chicken, always average ads. Looks like they’re finally doing something about it.
good to see the production company getting ready with some positivity up front. This is rubbish – a bit like what’s its advertising.
and the focus group is such an underused set-up.
Two comments from the 303 Sydney office.
Boosh.
If only the creatives had heard of Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er, this might have worked.
First spot to get an audible laugh from my couch in a while – dig it!
What a bitter place this website has become, or perhaps has always been. I’m guessing accusing “positivity” of being a plant is the pathetic mindset of those who do this in the first place.
Is that Spirko?
I like this idea, and did get a laugh out of it.
But, it did take me a couple of viewings to really “get” it.
I could guess the gist of it, but the audio mix (coupled with the character’s accent) make it quite hard to understand exactly on the first couple of takes.
Just think it gets in the way of what is a really good, out of the box idea.
My view is punters at home don’t work too hard to understand something and if it takes any effort beyond the second viewing you’ve probably lost them.
I hope everyone else have a much better TV/Stereo/reception set up than i do, and it’s just me experiencing that.
Stop right there, praisers. Is the hero talent supposed to be a Hawaiian stereotype? Then why does he come across as a cross between some weirdo Indian and Cheech Marin? Where’s his lap-steel guitar, Islander ethnicity, floral lei and cliche Hawaiian shirt?
No, the hero talent is not meant to be a Hawaiian stereotype. He’s meant to be a ‘Retro dude” as the title suggests.
It’s ok – just feel like I want him to say and do more. Could be funnier. Good casting though.
Seriously, this is rubbish.
wow – what an amazing response to a terrible 30 second fast food spot advertising a 10 pile of poo. And there are those that are trying to pass it off as art. Rubbish
I have tried to work out what the retro dude is saying….Call me stupid…but i cant hear what the last word is….Current Culinary ????? Please help
Yeah, what does the retro guy say? Sounds like “current culinary rectum”? Lol
Rectum…?
hope the chicken comes crumbed too, a tru hawaiian style pack
I thinks it sounds like rectum. What is he saying?
Just saw the ad and it’s sound like rectum to all of us.
He says rectum. I don’t get it.
I don’t get what the art farts are talking about at the top or this page either.
If its some “in” joke for media types then u fail if no one else gets it.
My whole family have been thinking it’s “culinary rectum” but I think it may be “culinary breakdown” in his very strong accent. Lol.
isn’t he saying “repetoire”?
Or are we (the viewers) just the “butt” of some advertising gurus twisted sense of humour ????
He definately says “rectum” it’s a shit ad by the way
My 8yr old daughter and have listened over and over. Sounds like ‘rectum’ to us.
Then of course, she laughs, lots.
Please settle an argument between my husband and me , does he say rectum,repitiore or breakdown. Come on Red Rooster.
The last word is definetly ‘ Breakdown ‘ It is said pretty quick with his accent, and when you say it pronounced like ‘Brekdon ‘ it becomes clear, hope this helps.
Current Culinary Rectum? Must taste like arse!
current culinary SPECTRUM
omg! i thought it was rectum
Ummm has anyone noticed that they’ve used the same actor who starred in ads for rival fast food chicken chain Nando’s about three years ago. See link – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqhClgBHWwA&feature=player_embedded
