Gorilla Waits For His Cadbury Moment

gorilla_cadbury.jpg

Every once in a while, some agency creates a piece of work that causes one to react with equal parts “WTF?” and “Damn, that was good!” This :90 from Fallon and A Glass and a Half Full Productions for Cadbury Dairy Milk is one such piece of work. With a gorilla, a drum set and Phil Collins’ In the Air Tonight, an intriguingly pensive and and anticipatory mood is set as the gorilla waits for his moment to shine. The work comes from Juan Cabral who worked on Sony’s Paint and Balls.

UPDATE: Check out the eerily similar commercial Adland found for the ABC comedy Carpoolers.
