2:20 In my opinion the best one of all ads

@leegriffin1584 Месяц назад

Indeed, even as Mr May notes it should be higher. Clever use of names, colours, sounds and the overall message. Well played Betsy.

7 should've been much much higher. Betsey deserved it.

yep and 2nd won. For sure all were fun but production values are more addlike. If the 2nd one ran on youtube Id belive it.

@saijay8309 Месяц назад

Betsey's ad was definitely the best of them all. Surprised James put that so low to be honest. 2:20

@SidGolan Месяц назад

Number 7 - Let the Gin do the talking, by Betsy should surely have been in the top 3. The entire ad is done by a professional with graphic design expertise and can be put on air immediately as a finished advert. Companies would pay decent money for an ad of that quality.

@mcewb726 Месяц назад

He said the whole point was he didn't want anything too fancy and professional. That was the point, otherwise he'd have just paid to get one done

@paradoxofgodexisting Месяц назад

"James gin for when a life is grim" isnt the best advertisment, but it is realistic one...

@johngunn8999 Месяц назад

think maybe there might have been a slogan like that in days far gone by?

@vyperii Месяц назад

"James Gin Sumi-ma-sen..." absolutely must be on all of the ends of James's videos from now on!!!

That was super clever

@markgettemeyer1145 Месяц назад

A range of creative thought in these - 2 and 7 were winners for me.

2 was about the Bartending, not the Gin

@JFinnerud Месяц назад

"Let the Gin do the talking" is top tier!

Number 7 would be in my top 3. Very commercial but well done to the winner at 1.

@agennt47 Месяц назад

7 or 2 are the best. But my opinion does not matter

@PatG-yi1di Месяц назад

Agreed!!! Imo they did great! Would like to see more advertising from them in the future.

@legion28 Месяц назад

The ad in 7th was the best

@janebrewer1545 Месяц назад

The 7th place was my favourite.

@Ailieorz Месяц назад

Betsey's ad is great but would be even better if it was more concise, you could easily take the word play out at the start it's not needed, and shorten the end into a tight 30 seconds. Then you can cut it into shorter ones for each flavour and you'd have the perfect campaign. Nik's was perfect

@jaschathane134 19 дней назад

Betsey's Advert was the best of all of them and it's slightly ridiculous how low down hers is.

@FuckFeminists 16 дней назад

What makes it good? That it used graphics? I didn't see a joke in it anywhere, and James' brand is 'comedian'.

@mcewb726 28 дней назад

The Mystery box just arrived! Thanks so much James and Co, it was a blast!

@Isaac-qu3wl Месяц назад

@Rokudaimedono Месяц назад

Definitely 2 and 7 for me. Don't really understand how 1 beat either of them...

@mudgetheexpendable Месяц назад

I'd buy it based on Betsy's ad alone.

@gormondprecursor3525 Месяц назад

Great ads, the 2nd place one was my favourite.

@MckIdyll Месяц назад

"Let the Gin do the Talking" by Betsy, is glorious. Easily better than all but your #1. Reach out to that person, James.

@danielgreaves5331 Месяц назад

Sorry James I think number 2 is perfect and on trend

@benwu7980 Месяц назад

These are a complete mind warp for me. I've spent 20+ years avoiding ads, but will watch all these. I'm subscribed ,I clicked Like, and I've commented. There is something wrong going on.

@kitrcs 19 дней назад

2 and 7 can battle it out... 8 can be up there, maybe... 1 is superb, it's all in there, and animation is mint.

@Kerithanos Месяц назад

#6 and #4 are by far the best. "This gin is great for a drive" and "this gin will help you survive WWIII" are the kind of perfectly funny and memorable messages I want to see in an ad. I see a lot of comments praising other submissions that were absolutely unbearable, just like all real commercials on TV today. I can't possibly express how disgusted I am that apparently people actually LIKE that garbage. #7 is particularly offensive. #2 is equally irritating but at least I can objectively respect the professionalism of the production value, if not the "generic soulless consumerism" of the style.

@sianwarwick633 Месяц назад

But those kind of phrases are pedestrian 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

@hayleyhugo7237 Месяц назад

@quokkakola1722 Месяц назад

Justice for Betsey! 2:20

@alisterx8698 Месяц назад

The commercial ad with the guy drinking and driving with the fast credits at the end, seems like the type of commercial somebody would say “you have X amount of money to spend”, and they spend just a very little bit of it and keep the rest.

I don't even like gin (whiskey is my preferred poison) but if I see James doing a video about it, I'll give it a watch. I can't think of another creator who I've watched make food in a bunker, rebuild a rotary telephone, run an electric train for miles, or get plastered with The Hamster playing chess. The only CLOSE competition is another British channel called Atomic Shrimp, Mike is truly a renaissance man who much like Captain Slow can make the most mundane activities utterly fascinating.

@glynwelshkarelian3489 Месяц назад

A joyous 10 films, all of them great in different ways, but Nitch's(?) 'Untitled' was not only a deserved winner, but the only one I have watched 3 times so far, and the only one that makes me think I need to buy James Gin! It not only channels John Ryan's early live action Captain Pugwash, but it made me laugh (but not out loud, that would be unseemly). The only possible improvement might be to get Richard Hammond to do the commentary. He is mentioned as a rejected flavour, but I'm sure a few bottles of gin would drown any anger.

James May, I've heard you mention that your navy strength gin is "inflammable". Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that it's "flammable", meaning it's easily set alight? Inflammable could mean that in certain circumstances it would be capable of spontaneous combustion which would be a very strong gin!🎉😊
