This is on TV at the moment and if you haven't seen it you can view the advert on youtube below:

What do people think ? I find it quite strange and freaky.

Good advert but strange. No doubt will get people talking about it.


halcyon.

I think its really strange and creepy. But its also really compelling in that I have to watch it when its on.

10/10 for originality.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Seen it tonight for the first time to. I actually like it. Probably because I can do the same with my eye brows but not the shaking part that was pure madness lol.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

dunno how they kept from laughing while making the clip ??

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

I hate it. Wonder how many millions were spent and how many pennies it put on a bar of chocolate...

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Watched this last night and I was hoping to forget it until this thread came up :(

I think it's CGI...anyone else agree??

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

either that or some very overpaid little actors. can't find anything on costs, strangely that press release is missing from the cadbury site, but it's by the same people who did the trucks and the gorrila ads.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Its time lapse photography. Its a collection of still images played one after another.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

@lauzjp: yeah but, Cadbury's always make excellent adverts.

@Kymmy: I was thinking the opposite.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

course it is I am surprised anyone thinks its real tbh. What I imagine they did is take a series if stills with all the expressions then used cgi to put them in place

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Parts of it like the part were the girl does it really fast half way through I dont beleive's real but the rest is easily possible as I can do it myself.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Knowing that doesn't make it any less creepy ;)

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

prove it ;) I expect to see your version on youtube this evening or I do not believe you hehehehehehehe

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Definitely computers involved somewhere, although I think some of the stuff might have been done simply by speeding the film up a little bit. Eyebrow wiggling is an acquired skill, but once you waste enough time learning how to control the muscles that do it, it's fairly easy ... just not at the speed they're doing it!

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

they could have always used lots of tape and string and then just CGI'd it out ;)

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Lol I like how you put that chris ;)

For me it was never something I learned I could always just do it.

Lol I think I will give that one a miss :erm:

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

When i first watched it last nigth i thought "freaky" but it's so compeling to watch at the same time. I do think it's done with timelaps or CGI.
Another thougth that came to mind was the film "The children of the damned" or "villiage of teh damned" the 60's sci fi film based on "The Midwich Cukoos" I think it was their hairstyles and blank expressions hahaha still made it even more freaky.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

I'm now waiting for the sequel where they flap their ears.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

errrrr...waggling my eyebrows fast is summat I've done since I was a nipper...;)

However I suspect some jiggery pokery fakery went on..But I also think some of it is the real thing..:tu:

I can even make my knees dance up and down to music..slowly these days though.:)


Live long and prosper.;)

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

@ Maggy, Eyebrows and knees. I don't suppose you could use those skills to capture the attention the kiddiwinks during the week? :D

It takes a lot of concentration for me to lift one eyebrow and there is no way I can even do that unless I close an eye and kind of scrunch up my top lip.

John just caught me trying and now thinks I am either loosing it or practicing for a Gurning Competition. :D

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

I find this ad ver strange to the point of disturbing, to almost nightmare.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Why are people scared by this?

Jealousy I reckon.Just 'cos they can't waggle their eyebrows...;)

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Yes I agree we are in a very elite club maggy lol ;):D

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

Well it looks like a mixed bag of opinions.

The fact that it is strange and different will mean it will capture people's attention and that is what they want at the end of the day.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

I love the freakiness of this advert. My husband and sister just saw it on tv just now and both had expressions WTF! while I giggled all through the advert.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

These children are the spawn of satan :D

To be honest this creeps me out no end

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
 

In a word, genius.

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert

Re: Cadbury's 'Eyebrow' advert
