PG Tips Advert - fantastic comedy
A genius new advert for PG Tips by Mother hit the screens of millions on Christmas Day, and I think it's a little piece of genius.
The advert brings back to life a famous sketch by British comedy duo Morecambe and Wise. For those of you who may be culturally blind sighted by this, the duet was featured in a Christmas show of 1974, which saw the two comedians making breakfast in time with a gaudy strip-show musical song.
PG Tips have timed the release of this advert perfectly - right at the time of year when classic comedy sketches like this appear on Christmas repeat shows. The advert works both as a touching allusion to a comedy great, and a well-executed piece of marketing, putting PG Tips right back on the map.
In the times of Assam, Earl Grey and Chinese white leaf, it's nice to know that we can all enjoy a good 'cuppa if we want to.
Good Ad.
