From the people that brought you that drumming gorilla
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry in Branding
The world seemed to be in collective stitches as a result of the Cadbury's ad featuring the drumming gorilla – but we didn't get it.
A fake gorilla banging out an old Phil Collins drum solo number is mildly amusing, but does provoke the kind of humourous hysteria in us that it seemed to do for everyone else including the judges at Cannes.
Well – the hilariousness is back [apparently] with two kids who move their eyebows in time to some electronica [yes...let the uncontrollable pant wetting begin..yeeehaaaa].
We're clearly still not at this level yet.

In addition to a glass & half of milk, Cadbury’s chocolate was also found to contain SALMONELLA.
With their image “tarnished” and heads starting to roll, Cadburys decided to use the ‘Chewbacca defense’. i.e. confuse the houple-heads with a big production number that had absolutely nothing to do with chocolate.
The gorilla ad was dreamed up by Juan Cabral – the argentinian savant behind Sony’s ‘Balls’, and in fact it’s worked a treat, Cadburys is now synonymous with musical monkeys.
