Starburts Squirts? Commercial

[Bulldog Force]

Hi all,
I'm after a commercial, I think it's about 4 years old and I'm pretty sure it's advertising starburst squirts.
The ad starts with a BBQ. A guy eats a squirt and (excuse the pun) the liquid part in the middle of the lolly squirts out and hits the BBQ chef in the eye. He screams in pain and in the process, lobs a firey coal into the air. This coal ends up falling hundreds of metres away into a house where a couple is playing tennis with an automatic tennis ball shooter. The coals causes firey tennis balls to shoot all over and one of them ends up being hit into the sky :lol: Next scenes shows 2 trucks, 1 filled with gun powder, the other with fireworks. The truck drivers both see the firey balls headed into their trucks and scream for their lives. That's pretty much the jist of it, then they just have the starburst squirts still to end the ad.

Can't find it anywhere. Unless I've got something wrong, that's the ad.

Definitely have the correct brand for that ad. If it's important try contacting the agency that made it.

That's another mission itself. Any idea who makes them? :?

 

[Timmah]

What an odd request :?

 

[Bulldog Force]

Perhaps... but this forum is to ask anything

Ok some more info, I've found out the commercial was actually made in 2004!

Masterfoods distribute Starburst (I think), Clemenger did the ad http://www.clemengerbbdo.com.au/

Yeah that's true but this ad goes back to 2004 - not too sure if they've ever had access to it :?

Hi Muzby, thanks for your search.
Unfortunately that's not the one, the one I'm searching for does start with a BBQ though. This one is one of the videos I found whilst doing my search.

I sent an email yesterday, hopefully I'll get a reply. I'll let you guys know what happens. In the mean time though, would love any further progress if it can be found

Sorry for the bump, but if anyone here remembers the commercial I'm talking about, have a look at the complaint about it raised here.

That is the worst possible complaint I've ever heard for any commercial. Terrorism, promoting violence? :lol:

Well my friends, nearly 3 years after I made this request... I FINALLY FOUND IT and this very thread on LU was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Here it is fellas...

Now let's see how accurate I was with the description and what actually happened...

Needless to say I instantly downloaded it and have since successfully uploaded it to my photobucket account!

Why?

 

[Bulldog Force]

Because I like it Well as life has it, it's not as funny as I anticipated, but still ok. I reckon it would be better if it had 480p quality tbh.

You spent three years searching through advertisements?
