Reebok - Lose the Beer BellyNewest Review: ... than wandering off to make a cup of tea or reaching for the crossword. The ad itself features an average guy jogging in the street. Suddenly from around the corner appears this enormous belly which bounces after him in a relentless pursuit, smashing through barriers, follows him into an elevator in a building and finally in pursuit on board a motorcycle before crashing James Bond-esque into a murky river... And all the while a kinetic piece of heavy metal blares out at you... "BELLY'S GUNNA GET YA....BELLYS GUNNA GET YA....BELLYS GUNNA GET YA>>>HUH HUH HURRRRRRrrrrrr......" What the hell is all this about? Well of course... more |

Well ok that was my first rather incredulous impresions of this extremely surreal piece of television advertising. Of coure, silly me, it isn't a butt at all, but instead a rather large beer belly which is chasing this guy down the street which makes so much more sense... Reebok have excelled themselves here with this advertisement in my opinion. It is a superb piece of advertising which plays upon so many different levels - if only all adverts were this good then we might even find ourselves longing for the commercial breaks rather than wandering off to make a cup of tea or reaching for the crossword. The ad itself features an average guy jogging in the ... Read the complete review

Ok.So, you've seen this advert a million times and many of you think it is good, some of you even spend a few minutes thinking about how good it is. But, has it made any of you buy Reebok trainers? In my opinion it is a good piece of adverising and does make the buying public much more aware of the product and therefore I expect that there has been an increase in sales. It engroses the audience immediately with not only images, but also music. BELLYS GONNA GET YOU etc, and it not only aims for you to buy Reebok trainers, but also for you to get fitter which carries a very positive message. The advert centres around a twentysomething year old man on his ... Read the complete review

Belly's gonna get you? Not the most obviously successful advertisment ploy is it? But it must have worked! When I first saw the advert I had trouble trying to disifer what it was! I though it was a very big bum riding a motor bike-not a very big beer belly! It obviously caught on as immeadiatly my family grew acustomed to the most familar insult shouted at my dad- "Belly's already got you!" Of course this isn't shouted at him on the street-except by my little sister! The advert features man running away from a giant bouncing beer belly! It bounces after him and eventually uses a motorbike to catch up with him ... Read the complete review

I feel as though I must write an opinion for the Reebok advert, you know the one with the hideous belly chasing a man through the streets and shopping centres. What an absolutely awful TV ad. The first time I watched it, it made me feel sick, and I probably would have been if it hadn’t have been for the song that accompanies the ad, what on earth is that? Now I know that I’m getting on a bit but that music (If you can call it that) is dreadful! What were Reebok thinking about? I agree with the idea to stay fit and healthy but there are far better ways of getting the point across it I’m sure. In short, this ad is terrible and ok it ... Read the complete review

"BELLY'S GONNA GET YA! BELLY'S GONNA GET YA!" What the bloody hell... The first time you see this almost surreal televsion advert for Reebok it fair takes your breath away - it's quite an astonishing bit of telly. There used to be a major view that the TV adverts were much, much better than the actual progs and this is one of the quirky ads that proves that old adage. (I have to say, however, that this was usually because the ITV progs that the ads usually interrupted were as a rule of thumb so BLOODY DIRE!) In case, you haven't seen it, this ad revolves around the pun of trying to escape one's beer ... Read the complete review
