Marriage Proposal Goes Horribly Wrong, Insurance Sold

A while back when I was actually creating advertising rather than shamelessly trashing it, we held a video contest for a jeweler and asked people to send in videos of their marriage proposals. We picked the best, worst, strangest, funniest, etc. and give them a big discount at the jeweler. I know…giving a discount after the ring’s been brought and the proposal’s been made is, to say the least, illogical. Then again, this is advertising. More likely, I can’t remember the details and the promotion was something completely different that how I remember it.

Anyway…here’s yet another in the long line of marriage proposal gaffes that offer never ending hilarity. It’s for Aviva Insurance (not even a jeweler!) and was created by Taxi Toronto.
