Duels:
ease of use of the Horizon, plus I enjoyed the song

During all the time of the ad, the BV is never on...

I found the ad playful and cute. However, I found it surprising to see someone smoking in an ad -- especially inside their home. Smoking in an ad is not something you would see in the U.S. anymore. It's rather a turn off. I wonder if the concept is different in Denmark.

Smoking???

The wife helds the chopsticks like a cigarette in one camera setting (sushi scene). It took me a lot of imagination to find it.....

I don't get your point CB. Also you have attributed a quote to me that I didn't actually make.

Ah. I see now that the wife is holding chopstix. Rather an odd thing to be holding while in a bathrobe. At first glance, it appeared that she was sitting on the coffee table holding a cigarette.

Yep that was me Duels. Perhaps I should have said ease of placement instead Unsure

In any case, this is one of the selling points of the Horizon (at least on the wheelie stand) and that's definitely showcased here...

I'm waiting for the software to be ironed out, and to move to a new apartment soon, and I'll probably get a 48'' one as my first BV. I think I've earned it! Big Smile

Then I may humblebrag about in on the relevant thread too Stick out tongue

That video would fit well into the 'Flash your B&O - new thread!' - which (right now) has 85 pages!

A thread with various humble and/or bragging posts.

I think you're missing the point that many people who post on that thread are proud of the installation of their new B&O in a way that avoids seeing the cables etc whereas the video shows an impatient person wheeling his trolley telly around straight from the box. He's spending time with his camera phone instead of his child which he could do if he'd got it installed by the shop to make it just a part of his family life. That's what B&O was all about.

I just watched the ad again and realized that the guy is an actor from a danish tv series that I like "Follow the money". I'd recommend it to everyone. Much better than the horizon ad Smile.

@Michael

I can't recall having seen him there.

But the tv series (Bedrag) is very good - just wait for the second season (which just finished on danish tv yesterday).

They seem to be spending cash promoting this video which has now had over 2 million views on Facebook.

 

unfotunately most of the feedback in the comments is terrible, and no one from B&O is responding.  I am amazed they are continuing to allow it to run

As I said, B&O has no clue about marketing... (and some other things). It's a shame but we have to deal with it.
