Friday Afternoon Diversion

Believe it or not this is a beer commercial, despite the fact that there's no beer. Or anything that overtly brands it as a commercial. Here's to your weekend; may it be this full of fun and positivity. (Also, and we may be a little biased, it really reminds us of a certain other video.)

That's not proper piñata handling either. That dude is lucky he didn't take one in the face.

I'll agree with you there!

There is the Carlsberg logo on the invite as well as the cancellation stamp. They also use a fair amount of the Carlsberg Green in spots. I assume this will be a series of ads that start with that envelope, take cuts to total 30sec and end with the Carlsberg splash page as an answer to the question WTP? I would also assume they are hoping to make WTP a viral texting marketing campaign to link to Carlsberg.

Yes it's subtly branded, but you really have to look for it. And me? I could care less who sponsors content when it's something I find rewarding. And in this case rewarding = a pretty video I like watching.

I am angered by the fact that she places the needle in a random, middle of a song, spot on the record and yet the song seems to start from the beginning. I think it may be shopped.
