    Cattle were slaughtered for that ad.

    What a waste of bovine life.

    the old ads were bona fide classics i reckon. tough to follow them.

    'wouldn't have a clue by the look of them.'

    he he. it's funny because the other guys are drinking wine like admen.

    There must be more convincing ways to dramatise the concept of a man absorbed in eating a pie. This idea's a bit lazy.

    A pie is a really powerful metaphor for an ad.

    You need that light, crispy outer to get you salivating before you bite into what you hope will be a juicy, meaty middle.

    Great crust, guys, but we got gristle.

    Still, it filled a (30 second) hole.

    That's a really nasty thing to do to a mate. I hate it because of that. I reckon tradies will hate it too.

    60% worse than the earlier 4 and twenty ads.

    which makes it poo!

    Why blame Tony. The script sucks.
    Well maybe the casting is a bit crap too. The needy bloke is a bit too nice. A bit too clean cut. Sholud've been darker to be funnier.

    But in basic terms it makes mateship a false concept..and the Pie eater a sad loner.

    Way to stuff up an iconic brand guys.

    Congratulations kids.

    Okay. Not especially good or bad. Just an ad. But then, But then, the earlier ads in the campaign weren't classics by any means - good, but far from great. Good solid old Clems stuff.

    Wow! Those pies must sure be delicious if he didn't answer his phone.

    Why do ad people think that tradies have to have dirt on them? Have they ever met a tradie? They generally don't have dirt on them, as a rule.

    In light of the trail of blogs at the top of the page, this planner must have been a fucking genious.

    Good thing he's getting paid more than the creatives. He's worth it.
