@Akowally hehee,i love that one too. It's for Toss. They also have the 'Kijana,How many years have you been in Form one?' version that's also a real cracker! Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.. Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life

@Akowally, Could be what Mukiha said at some point...that thing of the worse the Ad is..the more guys talk about it..and the more they notice the product..etc? It's weird though. If Ads could sell,then i'd always buy Toss,they really have funny Ads. Why am i stuck on Omo all these years anyway? Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

@ leona I think there are many reasons why we stick with stuff....marketing,quality bla bla bla bla,and yeah all publicity is good publicity ... many people stick with stuff they used from when kids ... kiwi,omo,orbit/pk,colgate,harpic for no particular reason ... Nowadays when I shop I just look at the price,I take the one which is cheapest and have hardly found a difference ... When we pray in praise to God,he makes a difference in our lives.

The Kenya Bureau of Standard's Ad that end with a ka-song,.. 'Uuu uuu uuu,...Ubora kamili'. Bure kabisa
each day is a gift from God; I dont know if I will be here tomorrow; should I be,I'll make the most of it for God's glory; should I be not,pick up and keep the legacy

I have always wondered why they depict the farmer in the CFC ad (ama who is the sponser?) as a fat toothless twit who happened upon his success. I farm and I don't look anything close to that twart in that ad. Talk about stereotyping .... bure kabisa! As a man thinketh so is he As A Man Thinketh So is He

I like the mpesa ads 'wakumbuke haraka na upesi...'
But anyone enjoys that ariel enzymax ad? with that kindergarten chant being done by grown women..'Ni hii au sio?' They answer in unison...'sio!'

By the way the I really liked the
`Tusker,My Country,My beer ad' by EABL; then KBL. It had aweebit of that uzalendo / najivunia kuwa mkenya thingii as they took advantage of various things on the ground that allowed them to annihilate their competition. KBL needed to respond to the entrant of a new powerful entrant into the market and took the route they did succesfuly by taking advantage of:
1. GOK tough stance - taxwise on SAB.
2. Socially,SA was going through a period of vocalized anti-foreigners sentiments,and the my country my beer was kinda payback.
All in all the entry of the new player forced EABL to style up. Power of Compee

my favourite at the moment is the one on Capital's Online Chat especially the 'I am getting hit on from all over the world' part with the 'beeps' in the background. Iko juu tu sana. Katika Jangwa la Jangili ndipo Pwagu hupata Pwaguzi. Katika Jangwa la Jangili ndipo Pwagu hupata Pwaguzi.

You have a right to your opinion.

And now there are copycats. The new Kcc Tv advert with an old toothless farmer and his cows is a straight replica of an earlier Brookside advert with a younger farmer and his cows. Kcc,not original at all.
Life is too short.
