Really? All that money and this is all you came up with? C’mon Colenso!
kinda cool, but I didn’t know that was the guy who was from the original video – was he even in it?
people that haven’t seen that original clip will probably like it, but those who have (the target audience) will think it just ripped off an internet clip
but I still sorta like it
Ahem:

My mistake, you already pointed out the other commercial that used Bear.
Still prefer the original. Especially when he starts crying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI
It’s funny. Nice work.
any stoner would have been as funny. that’s just indulgent.
If you wanna be the Big Dogg, you gotta bark like the Big Dogg. Woof!
ahem ahem

Vodafone must like Colenso ripping off other people’s ideas – remember last year’s cellphone symphony shame
stop stealing stuff
naughty!
Shame. First the ‘alternative history of Export Gold’ debacle, now this.
The bigwigs at BBDO head office called, everyone involved in this has to give back your shares and not collect the big reward.
Maybe the creatives could use this tool I found yesterday? http://www.iquit.sg/
Good shit. Funny as fuck.
Nice work Colenso. Great stuff for getting the real Bear over to NZ.
Very Funny!
I want to like this… BUT, it just seems like lazy creative…
“Double ummm, double umm… nope I got nothing….
(light bulb!)
I’ll see if there is anything on youtube with over a billion hits…
double… yup…
Plagiarise…
DONE!
now time for my soy bean, mung bean, soy latte, frappuccino…
i really wanted to be a bitter c&^t and google ’til I could dig up a link and yell plagiarism, but i couldn’t be fncked. I did however find a minute to watch this ad and I did laugh, so thanks.
At points i thought i wanted to say it was too long, and then it’d kick in a funny little double and I wanted to watch more. Nice work whoever.
Plagiarism? Lazy creative? Hasn’t everyone on the planet seen the original Double Rainbow by now? (Hence the point of this ad, which is presumably is to pay reference to it).
Double Back? What does it mean?

This reinforces the recent decision made at Vodafone board level. All that remains is the inevitable press release.
I love this ad! I wish they had the :30 up on youtube, because I laugh every time it comes on the TV.
Such a better use of the dude than the Windows ad.
If anyone can get me a nice resolution quicktime so I can save it and show it to all my friends, I’d love that. I’d watch it until the spacebar on my laptop broke.
Lovely double rainbow 🙂
