fickle_tickle Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU0xjQepHoI Came across this cold commercial that feels like it wishes it was a short independant film. It's got a super dramatic vibe and goes borderline Shining at one point with some twins! It does have some pretty miserable looking sneezes (esp. the first one) and a hankercheif though. I can't decide if the guy in it is attractive or not... thoughts?
Travel Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I don't know if i'd say that it "wishes" to be a short independent film. I thought it was trying to be cheeky by contrasting the constant sneezing and the repetition of the cold medicine name throughout to the overall dark tone of the commercial. It's funny but it's probably like 30 seconds longer than it needed to be.
doggo Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 It's funny and it's also sexy as hell Thank you so much. I don't even care how ridiculously fake the sneezes sound.
doggo Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 And the guy is very attractive, how is this even a question.

On the one hand, the way he just dramatically starts running down the stairs after sneezing is so extra, but then he gets a slow motion wind through the hair moment at the end?! It's so much to process! Its like they forgot he's a supposed to be a sick guy and were like "now that we have him cast, we should probably spend some time showing off his hair". And yeah, he got me with those fake ass sneezes too because the nose rubs were so dang so cute and said hair looked good flipping around!

Seriously I didn't notice even half of the things you mentioned because I was too busy going awwwww poor guy has cold from like the moment he appears, which is, a delicious moment.
ZakuConvoy Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 I...think the idea was kind of to evoke a spy/thriller kind of vibe, with a bunch of random people giving the guy a tip in public. Also, interestingly, I guess the director listed on the youtube page DOES have a IMDB page https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2202141/ No idea if it's actually the same guy or not, but the only listed credit DOES sound a bit like a artsy foreign film, so...acturate, LOL.

Google Translate detects the language in the text at the end as Hungarian. Suddenly I have such a craving for a glass of Tokaji, that is, enjoyed in a cozy cafe or bar in Budapest..........
pirate_wench Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Hahahahaha I've seen this one months ago and totally forgot about it. The guy is hella attractive, yes. Those eyes and that hair! The sneezes sound ridiculous though and the ad really is weird / creepy. But still, I like it. Anyone know who that guy is?
Sneesee Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I thought he was hot and I totally enjoyed the video!
