Currently watching this in my car, across from the closed down furniture shop. Only 5 circus posters on their window, from 2018. Must have been the extreme budget PR package
_Hold on a second, there is something else._ A Facebook campaign through local schools and parents' groups? _No, don't be daft. I want a cardboard sign next to a busy road junction, that you can almost, but not quite, read without causing an accident._
I'd just like to say that if he's chosen my Creative Team, he'd also have got 400 leaflets, all piled onto the little table in the corner of the Chinese takeaway that opens on alternate Tuesdays, afternoons only
"I just want a vaguely slightly clickbaity Instagram ad with just the words 'new vid out' with a pointy emoji to a link... Thank you... Or I release the influencers"
@@MyCommentsRMaturelolA play on words based on the expression “The full monte” or “The full Monty,” depending on which etymology you think is accurate.
Oh you want the advanced package? Great. While we're thinking big for another 5 grand we'll put some on some flimsy stakes hammered into local roundabouts. We call that the deluxe package.
As someone who lives near Great Yarmouth, the home of the Hippodrome (one of only two purpose-built permanent circuses in England still in operation), I can vouch for the 100% accuracy of this sketch 😂
This is amazingly coincidental because I was staring at someone putting up poster on some grotty closed down bank and then go into a barbers. I was like "why"?
Why is this so painfully accurate? I don't think I've ever seen a circus poster except in an empty shop or on a run-down wooden fence with patchy creosote. I'm not sure if it's just where these posters always are or if it sticks out particularly because a happy circus advertisement jars so much with a run-down environment.
I unfortunately live in France at the moment. Five years ago I was part of an arts-council funded exhibition designed to motivate an entire generation of school-leavers! The sort of kids who like myself, shall we say weren't academically inclined! This exhibition involved 11 other artists from all over France, who like me took a week off to do this and hired trucks out of our pockets to set up six satellite exhibitions. This was a total failure,! Jjust my parents bringing me a flask of tea doubled the number of visitors on the Saturday. The following week I was at a meeting with the mayor and most of the other artists who were equally furious to ascertain why this event was a failure. After about an hour the Mayor said "I don't understand why nobody came, as we had stapled the posters to the telegraph poles!" 😶 Happy non-specific seasonal festival to you. I like your style... That's what your brilliant sketch reminded me of. 🏆 Best wishes from an Englishman making armour in a French forest. 🇬🇧⚒️
I have a similar problem. I was round at a friend's house a few years back. He was sitting on the floor on a thread-bare persian carpet, that was essentially the hard floor itself. He did a little fart that cracked like a bullwhip as his tender ring slapped the flat hard floor. His meek, resigned, but questioning 'ow' that went up at the end like an Australian surf dude was a sentiment I could really understand, as it must have stung a bit, the pain being quite unexpected though. Sometimes I remember this as I am walking through the busy town centre, perhaps it is my mind playing tricks on me, as I know it's an innapropriate place to laugh randomly when alone, but it still gets me after all these years. 😂
Someone else scared/frightened of clowns. When I was young my dads company always had a Christmas party for the employees kids. Every years there was a "clown" called Mr Pastry, famous from the TV, he was frightening, scary, weird, and always thought it was funny to steal our take-hiome bag with sweets, oranges and manderines in it.
Might as well stick one around the lamp post outside the shop as well. Don't protect it in any way though. By tomorrow I want it to look all worn, scratched and unreadable so that the one person who sees it assumes that it's been there for months and that they've missed it.
I'm in Portsmouth too. You're right it's always at least 2. I have no idea who goes. I don't think I have ever met anyone who has been. There must be people watching this who don't live near a circus circuit who have no idea what this video is about, and go "What, there are still circuses!!!"
Well just a point, he couldn't have made that sketch if he hadn't been aware of the 12 posters in the empty carpet shop window so it must be working somehow 😂
I can confirm that's exactly how a circus would advertise in Germany. Maybe nor empty windows but just posters at random places across town and nothing else.
Always an absolute joy to see someone from Marketing getting sh@t on. Of course, it being a circus, we all know that the cheque bounced higher than "Kwartengs Kash from Kaos" returns recently!!
Beautifully refreshing and (mostly) light hearted! Though I hope you don’t miss out on giving us the behind the scenes on todays Truss “press conference” too 😅
Oh, this is so much like talking to people about promoting their work. You give them a plan and either: 1) they don’t do it and then ask why your marketing doesn’t work 2) say that their mate down the pub has a better idea, so they won’t be doing it.
