Thanks!
What a bunch of boring poseurs.
Rather than buy anything I'd like to punch them in their stupid faces.
Flappo, Am not often agree with you but this time + 1000000 with you !!
4 beolab 5, beolab 9, beolab 10, beolab 5000, beolab 8000 mk2, beolab 6002, beolab 3500, beovision 7 55 mk2, 2 beovision 11 46 mk4, beotime, beosound ouverture, beosound essence, beoplay A8, beomaster 900 RG de luxe and the collection continues...
Anorectic women, vapid tomboys and a designer who couldn't be bothered to appear at the shoot who comes in via Skype to do running commentary? "No lipstick?" "Cinematographic!"
To get brainwashed by this is quite a feat ...
Really? I thought it was funny enough to get me interested in the brand again. Very satirical. Not a good season for sure though.
But do you guys have any ads to share that you think were successful? Funny ones will be nice.
A bit too cutting edge for the old B&O customers here! Probably a bit more suited to Apple were young, inspiring people tend to hang out not the slippers, pipes & old boring men brigade of B&O!
B&O is just not cool!
I've been involved in fashion for quite awhile and can assure you young hipsters that its all been done before and better. The fact us so called boring old farts aren't impressed with your vapid attempts at cool says it all really. Been there , done that.
You can sell $*** if you package it properly , especially if the target markets heads are full of it.

Exactly.

Aren't we all? Full of ..... literally... haha!!!!
Every single cell in our body is filled with a certain amount of debris.... But what are debris? Things unwanted or worth discarding? And what are those?
Gosh..... My head is so full of it....
And I quite like Alber Elbaz, he looks so round and bubbly. And Steven Klein made me laugh.... well then he succeeded already as a photographer/ artist. Check out the statement that is made by a certain designer come brand ambassador on B&O's website... See any parallels?
The ad was quite funny and yet quite thought provoking IMHO.... It turned its head on the fashion industry but yet delivered the message with a certain lightness that is hard to achieve.
Pretentious twaddle!
Should spend more money on pies and less on clothes!
Paul W:..........inspiring.................
Ban boring signatures!

Much better than the boring run of the mill glossy look at me models.
No pipes here either

What a bunch of prententious crap,the men look like PEEWEE HERMAN or mr bean with a haircut,and as for the women I have seen more meat on a kebab.
I surely hope b&o dont go down this route,and as for Paul w with his pipe and slippers and not cool comments.B&o does no have to try,they have always been cool,like most of danish design.
Being so called cool,is not about following trends and just buying the so called "in labels",its about being individual and b&o have always been.Too many people copy each other from cars to fashion etc,nothing cool about that,it just makes you a sheep looking o fit in to a flock.
Well Paul W I am the same age as you?
Your right Paul w we are B&O customers on here,you must be the oldest though, as you have not bought anything for over 10 years!
You should have stuck in at school mate and you would have maybe been in the position to actually buy something instead of an iphone and a pair of beats headphones.
butch1:A bit too cutting edge for the old B&O customers here!
I never quoted that statement it was Paul w please read the other posts
iI's not like apple are that cool anymore , i used to be numero uno mac head , been using them over 20 years and defending them all over the net, since steve's death , they're just another boring conglomerate run by bean counters and boring men in business suits ( bankers ) . But even I'm bored with them . There's only so many rumours you can put up with ya know , especially when the end result is just a slightly less thick laptop zzzzzz
In the 80's macs were slightly rebellious ( as rebellious as a piece of beige plastic with a keyboard can get ) nowadays they're bought by empty headed hipsters with a cafe latte in one hand an an ipod in the other ( and nothing between their ears but droning drivel ).
B&O in the 70's were cool , ice cool in fact , cooler than Apple have ever been in fact.
What's sad is that Jony Ive and his team have obviously been greatly influenced by B&O but for some reason never given them a smidgen of acknowledgement.

Oh Jeeze Butch1 turns out it was you not me.....
Everybody has a right to make their own comments. Oh BTW from casual observation arguing in forums do seem to bring in the crowd! But it seems like Paul W knows better not to get involved.
beopaul: butch1: A bit too cutting edge for the old B&O customers here! Umm, did you see the Beolab 4000 commercial from several years back? Made this one look tame. Unfortunately I can't find it on YouTube.

Ermm... Where were you when I started the thread on the old edgy B&O adverts? I had zero posts!
Wonderfulelectric,what are you on about now?,what turned out to be me, and not you?
You are another Paul W,he used to post complete nonsense,and go on about fashion and apple etc and slate b&O technology,without even hearing or seeing the products he was slating..something akin to your posts.
I was waiting for this to happen...

Here's one.

That's what I said, pretentious twaddle!
You don't think Paul W and Bruno are related do you ?
Puncher: Here's one.
And this is a B&O CD from Jarre!
What's "twaddle"?
Brengen & Ophalen
Leslie: Puncher: Here's one. And this is a B&O CD from Jarre! What's "twaddle"?
Love Jarre, I'd love to hear the CD. "Twaddle" is basically meaningless nonsense - in this case, the video, not the music!
mediabobny:Here's one.
Chris Townsend:Hey Leslie, I want a Beosound 9000 just to watch and play that CD!
Me too Chris, unfortanetely I gave the last CD's away to Lee and Beocool not knowing that these were my last ones. But, not to worry, I will get them soon again
Leslie: And this is a B&O CD from Jarre!
'Had a feeling you'd have that rare gem, Leslie I have the next best thing - 25 JMJ albums on 2 CD's (MP3 format) including Interior Music.
Well, I don't have the ones you have Bob
Unfortunately I have to play it on my Bose Wave Radio, which plays MP3-CD's

You really just loves to talk about age - about the OLD, boring B&O customers. And you're supposed to be one of the young and trendy..?
Don't worry - time will solve that problem for you...You've already started to get boring - always repeating yourself...
Spot on Mate!
Now I'll go throw up my breakfast after watching that.
Too long to list....
I'm just sick of these caffe latte swigging iphone wearing retards trying to talk down to us , the OLD guys who made it all happen in the first place. B&o were doing apple years before apple even existed.
Ask them WHY Jobs with his amazing taste only had a B&O system in his house !?
