Brief Explanation

Other than banks, automotive is probably Australia's least creative advertising category. A car ad that is not created using CGI immediately stands out. One that doesn't feature a car sweeping through hills even more so. And a TV commercial that is genuinely funny is highly unusual. Tim Bullock (who also wrote The Comedy Channel's advertising adland comedy :30 Seconds) directed with a deft touch. The ad features cameos from Melle Mel and Scorpio from Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five as a mild middle aged man pops out for the nappies and relives his youth.
