Bike Whispering - I call it bo11ocks

Halfords ad
Quote from comments 'The only slim chance of ever buying a bike from halfords would be to buy a boardman but after watching this advert I wouldn't even buy a dust cap from them.' How true!

I got as far as 15 secs then had to switch it off.

Was that the point where it looked like he might be about to, er, consumate his realtionship with the bike?

Perhaps it's funny if you've seen the Horse Whisperer film? I haven't because I'm a bit deaf and I don't like horses, so I didn't think there would be much I'd enjoy in it.

No sound at work but isn't he that surreal comedian?

 

[Rooster1]

I think it's quite funny

Yeah, Tony Law I think.

It's passed off the minutes between finishing some work off and actually logging off quite well.
Not what you'd expect from a faceless corp like Halfords though- can't see the #horsewhisperer going viral.

I've seen a lot worse!

Superb!

Far far better than the current "We're for the ....." .wiggle advert that seems to be tagged onto every youtube vid at the mo.

I thought Horse Whisperer was quite asinine, at least this was only three minutes and a half long, and had bicycles in it.

It's entertaining when you see it for the first time and it's a talking point so for Halfords that must be a plus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hobbitonabike]

I love the Evans ad

 

[Dave 123]

Come on you miserable lot, that IS funny!

+1, it is.

I reckon Halfords will think its funnier than the rest of the population, but it passed a couple of minutes & is far better than the awful guff they trotted out last year with all the cyclist stereotypes in the world.

I just think it's really dangerous for any company to use phrases like "I don't know anything about the ranges...." when for a lot of their branches this is TRUE.

Critically speaking I thought it was quite funny but too long. I laughed when the alarm went off.
