Hilariously brilliant!
MASSIVE ROI :)
Never trust an ad.... that's the way it works...
The gold bars on the table are a nice touch.
Just great. I love the way they sell it :)
Can i get an application?
Thanks Renee, but I take no credit for this work - it's just one of those things one chances across on Youtube. Why it was created is something I'd love to know. I recognise one briefly appearing actor in it, but ohter than that it's a complete mystery.
It was made by the Discovery channel themselves in a beautiful piece of self directed irony - James Gilbey, who's name is on the credits, is the creative director of Discovery networks europe.He used to be an actor on Eastenders apparently, maybe the face you spotted in the video.
When's the wrap party?
Thanks anonymous - I wonder if they did any more?
If you liked this, you'll love a short two part movie called 'The Reel Truth' (directed by Tim Hamilton as a sequel to 'Truth in Advertising', created for an awards show ... I think).

Absolutely brilliant. Wonderfully executed.
It was made by smithereen, check out their website on www.smithereen.tv
It was indeed made by smithereen but not written by them - I have spoken with the writer/client and know the full story know.
It was written by Max Wright from Smithereen and James Gilbey from Discovery. Check this one out
