This Old Advert: Rolo
Jul 16th
I loved this advert when I was little. The narrators voice sounds so old-school now.
The two pencil people are drawn onto our screens, followed by some scenery and hopefully a bunch of flowers. The girl offers the guy her last rolo, because she utterly adores him.
Now If that’s not true, chocolate-coated love, then I don’t know.
I think about current adverts with extravagant budgets to accommodate special effects, fast cars, famous spokespeople, faster planes and crazy stunts for products like deoderant and razor blades (because when you shave , you need to pretend you’re in a jet).
They’re all a blur though and I can’t really remember any of them. Yet I can remember this simple rolo advert from years ago.
Sometimes simple hits the mark better than O.T.T ever could.
So do you love anyone enough to give them your last rolo?
Ps This girlfriend makes me look bad …I don’t give away my last rolo.. sorry they’re just too yummy.
This Old Advert: IBM

Backstage a few weeks ago, I was trying to remember this advert. I kept telling the cast that there were elephants and they were friends and brothers and they were crossing the desert.
I got some pretty skeptical looks …. no one knew what I was rattling on about.
I finally found it !
It’s an old IBM advert. I think it’s the song that does it and I mean who doesn’t love ellies?
