Shit voice Yoda impersonator has

A friend has volunteered to write a guest post about this ad, but while we wait for that may I just point out a couple of things?

1. The ad is 60 seconds long but is 100% over, finished, dead by 39 seconds.

2. George Lucas is a bigger pimp than Lord Monsignor Lovedaddy the third, who runs almost all the girls between 123rd and 125th.

3. I do a better Yoda impression than whoever did that one, and my Yoda is 3/10 at best.

    Absolute garbage.

    Lazy, lazy ad. Best thing about it is the ‘Yodafone’ pun. And that is utter shit.

    What a syphilis ridden cunt of a reprise.
    Why would a Jedi master taste of Wasabi.
    It’s like some half-arsed creative has looked in the comedy ad manual and said “Hey Erik, you mustachioed Swedish pervert with a below average IQ, in here it says at the end of comedy ads you must add a reprise. Oi Erik, STOP LOOKING AT YOUTUBE CLIPS OF DOGS LICKING OUT CHINCHILLAS AND GIVE ME A FUCKING REPRISE”
    “Do you think he tastes of the wasabi.”
    Nailed it Erik. Fucking nailed it.
    Cocks.

    I like it when the girl promptly retorts rhetorically to herself “Do you think his spunk tastes of wasabi?”
    How did they get that through the BACC shitfaces?

    This will be some kids first experience of Yoda.

    Shame for them.

    Star Wars can go and fuck itself now.

    She’s not talking about…blowing Yoda, is she?

    So shite.

    I had a check of the twitter comments around this one – 50-50 between

    “rubbish”, “boring”, “enough of the Star wars ads”…

    &

    “yoda lolz”

    …so it will probably work to some extent (sadly).

    It wasn’t that long ago that I wrote a post about this kind of area but in relation to the Darth Vader advert for PC World/Currys. That too was a load of shite, and didn’t even have the creativity to include any original dialogue. It’s ridiculous that as soon as Star Wars is tacked on to an advert, it gives the producers a license to be lazy.

    If you’d like to see my post, it can be found here: http://www.retinaburnblog.co.uk/2011/11/the-dark-side-of-the-dark-side/

    I’ll be interested in seeing what your guest poster will say with regards to this advert. Will be back to check!

    It’s rubbish isn’t it? Heard about this one before it came out and it sounded like it had promise, but what utter shit.

    Still, disagree with Ryan, this was a good use of Star Wars:

    Also the Tom Tom one was quite good. Problem is (I think) Darth Vader is inherently funny; he’s meant to be all mean and dark, but he has a stupid voice. Whereas Yoda is designed to be a little comic; he has a silly voice and a silly face/body so it’s unexpected that he’s a Jedi master, so he’s ultimately not.

    That and the fact that it’s lazy borrowed interest. And the writing for the couple is a turgid pile of shit. Why can’t we do funny UK ads anymore? And why don’t we have any funny UK directors either?

    He is milking the likes of Chewie and Yoda until their nipples crack and bleed.

    That wasabi line is going to bemuse the whole nation.

    And the choice of yoda is not just lazy, it makes no sense. I saw a poster for this campaign this morning with a line on it that made me think ‘They couldn’t get Harry Potter’.

    And it was only last week that Mr Lucas announced he’s never making another Star Wars movie.

    Given the steady flow of large cheques from ad agencies he must have figured ‘why bother?’…

    Does George have serious gambling debts to pay off? Or was he recently divorced?

    Your greed is ruining my boyhood!

    Other good Star Wars ads – Currys (with R2D2 and C3PO), Adidas Cantina and the VW Kid. It won’t be that good again – this is poor. You’d expect more from such a good director.
    And sadly the Wasabi line will make enough (simple) people laugh, that might even deem this a success.
    I take it Damon has worked his notice then.
