Pardon
Description
This latest instalment from Clemenger BBDO, titled Pardon, follows on from Brewtopia (2006) and Dove Love (2009) with two wide-eyed blokes embarking, map in hand, on an adventure through the picturesque land of Brewtopia, the ultimate destination for beer lovers. After a long and treacherous journey the guys arrive at their destination where they enjoy a well deserved cold Pure Blonde and things seem to be going nicely until one small faux pas sets off a rather unexpected chain of events. And in doing so the TVC illustrates the contrast between Brewtopia and our own impure world.

Was that place made of breadsticks?

Great follow up to 'Big Ad' Ant
Good story and beautiful landscapes!
Labo Tomtom & Nana

nothing special, just big budget and production.... but nothing. And with this budget sure you can write better scripts.

Great story that falls flat halfway through in my opinion. Once they get to the summit. But great production.

Agreed. They could have made the place much more "pure" if that's what they were going for. And you'd expect a pure, smooth beer to not make you burp like an asshole. Is that the target?

good production not that good ending
Beautiful landscape, great production. The build-up is effective and then ... the whole thing crumbles.

The first part is stolen from the Lord orf The Rings (which is kind of mandatory for an adventure in NZ :P).
The second part is Greek/Roman-related. (Priestess of Vesta?)
Great use of references, but I don't really see the point :).

It is more like The Clash of the Titans.

It's a shame to build up something for 90 seconds so well, only to be let down at the end.

Why pegasus can't fly

Why didn't he grab the beers?

Truck playing AC/DC was much better
