What's this advert?

[Russinating]

I'm trying to find a clip of an advert but I can't remember who it was for so I'm having trouble.

It was for a mobile network operator and was on TV a year or two ago. It was a guy with an afro walking through different scenes, straight at camera, talking constantly; through a market, flat balcony, etc.

I think it was Three or T-Mobile but can't find anything on YouTube. Help!

C'mon GD, don't fail me now!

Not the AT&T one?

 

[Russinating]

Nope not that. Was definitely a UK operator on UK TV. At the end he was walking down the external corridor/balcony of a block of flats and I think the camera then looks out across the city and the logo comes up.

Nope sorry, nothing like it.

Closest other example I can think of is the current EE Kevin Bacon adverts, ie bloke walking towards and talking to camera. Except in this one it's always just straight and the shot cuts with him in different places.

Agghh!

Got it! It's not on YouTube which doesn't help but this is the one I was talking about: http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie.php?filename=TA8871

I apologise for not having a photographic memory of a 2 year old advert

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Apology accepted.

 

[Yaayuh!]

That aint no afro!

*That is not an afro.

LOL!

That has got to be the worst attempt of an afro I have ever seen

I have probably got more hair than him, and I dont have a lot of hair!

This one?

 

[DJMK4]

Thats the one, but he's already found it ^^

 

[Parsley]

Oh. That's what I get for not refreshing the page ^^.
