friday partytimes: what you get is what you see

March 5th, 2010

So the NRL launch this week didn’t just involve your team captains standing awkwardly in front of Sydney landmarks. It also involved a Brand New NRL ad. It has everything you could want, if what you want is lady-farmers, a sculptor, an old man at a busstop and stuff about FEELING ALIVE. Comment and tell us what you think, why don’t ya?

Alternatively, if you don’t care, watch this awesome NRL promo from 1989, also known as SASSY’S FAVOURITE YOUTUBE VIDEO EVER. (It really is, I have it bookmarked and everything):

Happy Friday darlings!

    Concept good, but very uninspiring in finished product! Needs a catchy Aussie Rock song….MG suggested ACDC’s Long way to the top…not a bad idea!

    Towards the end (starting around the part where my football mancrush Josh Morris turns up) I got shivers down the spine. Christ, I’m so easily manipulated by dramatic music. Unfortunately the narration at the end is shithouse and doesn’t cap the ad very well, but apart from that it’s pretty awesome. Certainly way better than the monstrosity they were using last year. (But why is the rodeo guy wearing clown makeup? That confuses and disturbs me.)

    i got goosebumps too!!! i enjoyed the Hot Bitch appearance as well.

  • Cronkster

    could have been soooooooooooo much better – can u pitch to make it next year gals???
