I thought I said guerilla marketing
Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if I was starving this ad wouldn't make me want to eat Cadbury chocolate.
Surely I'm missing something here?

I just wrote a very similar post Stan. I'm not getting it either...
Me too…
They used to say:
If you've got nothing to say - sing it.
But steady on…doesn't Cadbury have something to say?
I feel an essay coming on:
Postmodernism and the rise of existentialism in advertising.
(Or How I learned to stop thinking and love anything quirky I can bung a long on the end of...)
Ok, I had the same reaction, but what if their target is Youtube rather than TV? Could it go viral beyond us advertising and marketing hacks?
Pretty expensive way to get there I guess. So far around 10,000 views in 2 days. It polarises people by the look of it; some love it some loathe it. That has to be good.

i don't know what it has to do with cadbury, but when we were about 15 we all use to do that drum part to phil collins, not with a guerilla suit on though.
It's pretty stupid yea, but I like it. And, I think I get it - that they are equating the joy you get from losing yourself in the music to the joy you get losing yourslef in a chocolate bar. But personally, I don't like Dairy Milk and I'm not a big fan of chocolate full stop. But I still like what they did.
I think what you're missing is a sense of humour.
