jonny boy · 22-05-2007, 18:07

Awesome !!

YouTube - New Skoda Fabia Advert - Full of lovely stuff

markyvrs · 22-05-2007, 18:08

New Fabia certainly looks tasty

ChrisRs · 22-05-2007, 19:27

No mention of the vRS then...yet!
You cant have your cake and eat it eh??

TDi Vrs · 22-05-2007, 19:33

Golden syrup for oil is particularly clever!!

It even gets a mention (half a page) in todays Sun newspaper. Having seen how much publicity the ad has got , I wouldnt be surprised to see it win awards this year. It certainly seems as good as the old DDB adverts for the VW Beetle and early Golf.

ExAudiSi · 22-05-2007, 20:14

Wonder if our MkI Fabias are made from cake too. It could explain why the doors leak water!

fab51 · 22-05-2007, 20:37

looks like we are just old fabia tarts

Bill Cameron · 22-05-2007, 22:51

New vRS would be the icing on the cake!

Prasg · 23-05-2007, 09:07

The Daily Mail has a big article on it with pictures.

The advert is also available to view in much better detail on skodas official site, along with a rather natty how the advert was made programme.

The new Skoda Fabia. Full of lovely stuff

lfc958 · 23-05-2007, 10:16

IMHO, this ranks alongside the Honda advert ( Accord one ).

The S*n reckoned £500,000 to make the cake, but then this paper ALWAYS explodes the truth way out into space. Reckon that was for the whole ad.

Anyone fancy doing a Briskoda logo in cake and posting a video / pictures ?

Wet Kipper · 23-05-2007, 11:20

does anyone know what happened to it all when they were done - did they just chuck it, or did they eat it ?

s0nyericss0n · 23-05-2007, 11:30

Here is a link for those that want to use it on their phones, it is in MP4 formate works fine on my W850i

Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

Thanks to mvf4 from the esato site for the link.

The rest of the car was composted and will be used by residents of Clapton, East London, to fertilise their gardens and allotments.

scottie vrs · 25-05-2007, 10:39

Ha ha!!! The best thing about the advert is that the car made out of cake looks 100% better than the real thing . IMHO it's not a patch on the previous model cos this one looks wrong .

seano47 · 25-05-2007, 13:28

its a very good advert there was a list in the paper the other day ow the ingrediets used

Dmac1969 · 25-05-2007, 14:08

I take it from the post above by pittVRS , that the ad was done in this country then. I had always assumed it was done in Czech! If that is the case , is this advert used on UK TV screens only , and do they have a different one for Europe?

fordfan · 25-05-2007, 20:31

I phoned up our local dealers parts department the other day to order a Victoria sponge and a couple of Battenebergs, got told that the Battenburgs were on back order due to a Marzipan shortage.

rossm · 26-05-2007, 17:57

Its been almost a week since I uploaded the new Fabia ad on Youtube. Already, its had almost 100'000 views!!!

Hope a good number of those who are Skoda owners seen the Briskoda mention and URL in the description

The Daily Mail have even linked directly to it from their news pages, accounting for 7300 views alone!

In the Autos and Vehicles category, It got #1 most viewed video for last week, currently at #16 for this month and is #98 in the most linked of all time table!

The advert has drummed up an amazing amount of interest for Skoda, yet there wasn't even a single (real) car in the entire ad -

well done to the development team!! Would be interesting to know how many people will now go away an investigate buying the car a bit further having seen the advert.

As opposed to the number of people who go directly to their local Bakers and buy a huge fook off cake.....
