There I was sat in front of my telly the other night, passing the time watching some tripe or other when the new Oasis advert (below) appeared in front of me grabbing my attention. This is without a doubt my favourite advert on TV at the moment!
You may remember the last series of adverts Oasis used featuring ‘Cactus Kid‘ which was eventually banned by the ASA who cited that the adverts condoned teenage sex, and suggested the drink was a substitute for water. Now personally I didn’t see the problems with these adverts, although I didn’t particularly like them though I think this was largely down to finding the Cactus Kid a bit creepy myself. The Rubberduckzilla advert however I find much funnier and more entertaining, particularly as it sends up a Godzilla (or similar) movie so well.
It is apparently the first advert to be shown on British television that is entirely in Japanese, and features a giant rubber duck destroying Tokyo with massive ‘Sonic Squeaks’. I really hope that this is just the first instalment in a series of adverts featuring the giant water hating duck! There is even a Rubberduckzilla website here, where you can play games featuring the yellow anti-hero. The two games available at the moment do require the use of a webcam and printer.
