Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel

Agency: BBDO

Description

Every Christmas since 1996, the M&M’S® Brand has given its fans around the world the same gift – the iconic :15 second television commercial called ‘Faint.’ The beloved commercial created by BBDO features M&M’S spokescandies Red and Yellow interrupting Santa while he’s delivering gifts – causing both Red and Santa to faint.
The long-running spot has been a staple of the Christmas season for over 20 years, but it ends on a cliff hanger, begging fans to ask… so what exactly happened?
That’s the premise of the new, reimagined 90-second continuation of the memorable commercial appropriately called ‘Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel’. The new spot, created and produced by CLM BBDO in France with support from BBDO New York, follows the clumsy, but well-meaning Yellow as he attempts to fly Santa’s sleigh, deliver the presents and save Christmas. In true Yellow fashion, things go catastrophically wrong, but the mix up has unintended consequences that highlight the true meaning of Christmas.

This professional campaign titled 'Faint 2: A Very Yellow Sequel' was published in France in November, 2017. It was created for the brand: M&M's, by ad agency: BBDO. This Film medium campaign is related to the Confectionery, Snacks industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 6 years ago.
