Campaign

Seriously?  A load of people trying to be original get sniped by the one person who copied Nat & Lol?  

Wait, sorry, I am new to this Industry.  Excuse my naivety.

No, you're right Tom. It's a travesty...a travesty I tell you! The copy wasn't that great for one, it was a poor extension, merely talent imitating. No disrespect to Danny Walsh of course, but there's too much ball licking for my liking...

i agree, it was Nat&Lols idea first, it doesn't seem fair, does it.

I agree that it seems a bit harsh on Lol & Nat, but this did make me laugh. "But I wanna make an ad". Classic!

Can we just stop this. It is an unpleasant spectacle. Can't we all just agree that it should go to Children in Need. Have a competition. Who can write the best line for why it should go to Children in Need?

Aw c'mon fellas. Stop your wingeing. All's fair in ad land. I'm sure Lol and Nat can grab the grand back from Danny Walsh if they want to. But do they want to?

aw c'moooon, read my poem. i only want a beer.

Dear Mr and Mrs Campbell Lace Beta

I’m typing these words because I feel the need t’

have money to spend under the pub outdoor heater

and save me from nights in with Norris and Rita.

***

I’m paid to create but my role is a ju-

nior and my pay packet leaves a bit to

be desired, I only fancy a few

lagers instead of rich teas and a brew.

***

I can hold my head high as I open the door

of the Marquis of Granby or the Duke of York.

And instead of my wallet’s dread as she pours,

I can do as my peers do and say, “Cheers love, and yours”.

***

Right, I know the drill, I know what you want,

Robert Campbell, you’re awesome! Gary Lace you’re the Don!

Lol and Nat may have won it, a conclusion forgone.

But if you fund my round buying, I’ll buy you two gents one.

***

Ok, I’m nearly done now, this is nearly all,

I’ve stated my case without the need to appall,

unlike a certain Claire Beale I recall,

who was topping the list with dogs, tongues and balls.

***

You see, London life costs me much more than the north,

the Fosters three fifty, the Stella is four.

I‘d steal it if I wasn’t afraid of the law,

the fact it’s expensive does not reassure.

***

A few years in adland, I’ve seen where it’ll get ya,

Soho House is the hangout, the preferred cheese is feta,

I’d advise you it’s wise to reply to my letter

and make CampbellLaceBeta much CampbellLaceBetter.

The last post.

google it.

from up here i can see Nat&Lol could and would easily grab the grand back, because they're highly intelligent and very talented.

HOWEVER... they're also really busy at work and like many creative people, feel that when something has been done, it's been done - unlike Danny.

just because Danny's was more recent, does that make it better - i'm not sure??

it's just the new idea in town, only it's based on an old idea.

Georg you're a really lovely, talented bloke, but quit while you're ahead! :)

WOW. Top notch Robert.

Glad to see you celebrating blogging while all the other creatives whinge on instead of making an ad!

Thanks for the comments fellas. But see, unlike you, I never asked for the grand.

I also figured that the Nat and the Lol might pop over to xtranormal.com and reply in the form of episode 3 of CLB. Hope they do, loving their work!

See you on Halloween.

Well done Danny. Very funny backstage. Why don't you give Lol and Nat half?

OK

Robert, why don't you put Lol & Nat back up on the top spot. Give them the cash, and if no one beats them, maybe they'll buy me a beer.

As Jimmy Carr's gag writer I'm a bit miffed to see Danny taking the higher ground. For a while I thought he'd take the heat off me and Jimmy. Bugger.

www.sitepal.com/ttswidgetdemo this widget from my friends at oddcast lets you get in on the text-to-speech-tom-foolery,

Now we're cooking.

Blogfoolery.

yeah.. we can all have a go.. but Nat&Lol thought of doing it and did do it first :)

I think R & G are so nervous because they've been rumbled. Did you see the last blog they did?
