Are
you expecting, unbeknownst to yourself? Please
visit your nearest mad scientist for a simple
checkup and a Pregnancy Certificate.
If
you readers are wondering what this review is
about, let me tell you that after years of extensive
research in human behaviour, the internationally
renowned scientists at Bingo Mad Labs have come
up with a simple substitute for the conventional
clinical preg-check card. All you have to do is
nibble at a Bingo Mad Angle Achaari Masti snack
to find if your tummy is going to bulge more.
The
procedure, as mentioned above, is fast, simple
and painless. The scientists will offer you an
"angle" of the new Bingo Achaari Masti.
If you are driven crazy by the tangy "achaari"
taste of the snack, and chase the scientists for
more, then congratulations, you have tested positive.
Now, you can see how the dedicated Bingo researchers
can help you curtail your extra expenses.
Sotto
voce: An archival tape revealed by the Bingo Mad
Labs shows that the Achaari Masti test can be
successfully administered to some of your inscrutable
male friends to check if they are really up to
"that thing." Bingo! I gotcha!
Review:
David Ogilvy said that advertising cannot be regarded
as entertainment. The good thing about the new
Bingo Mad Angle Achaari Masti ad is that it both
entertains and is true to its spirit. Indeed,
there is "no confusion," only "great
combination" of taste and fun. It is so original
in both idea and execution that it can only compare
with the other Bingo ads.
It
is not cerebral, nor is it theatrical. Like all
Bingo ads, this new TVC is funny to the point
of being bizarre. It takes an unpretentious approach
to the message, and delivers it to the target
group.
Two
thumbs up!
