“No More Dabbling” Or…
“Why Is There A Gorilla Playing Drums On My
Screen?”
“A drum-playing gorilla has just gone superviral, drumming its way through
the consciousness of the country almost independently of the media money Cadbury is spending on it.”
(Naresh Ramchandani, Media Guardian, 10.9.07)
“The web community may just have lived through its most iconic creative
moment thanks to a man in a gorilla suit and a Phil Collins pop hit from the 80s”
(Media Guardian, 24.9.07)
“Its 28 different postings on YouTube have garnered 10m views.
It has been spoofed with a toy gorilla as well as remixed with a 50 Cent and a Bonnie Tyler track. It is
simple, bonkers and funny”
(Media Guardian, 1.10.07)

Skoda”(The Mirror, February 2000)
“History’s biggest comeback since Bobby Ewing stepped out of the shower,
the new Skoda is hip and sexy - yes, sexy”

omg!!!
thats the best advert that ive eva seen
love the advert, hu thinks the gorilla is real? Nel?
nah apparently its Phil Collins himself in a suit
i luv this advert; dunno why it just makes me smile
Best advert ever!!!
Okay, this is a brilliant advert, but a gorilla playing the drums to Phil Colins (i think)To me has nothing to do with chocolate.
Mate its to do with feeling!It all about feeling happiness when we eat chocolate!
Where’s the link to Cadbury’s?Who gives a shit? How many years will it take for you to forget this add?? :-)
How does a Ape playing Genesis Have anything to do with Chocolate!?
Because I like chocolate, and I like this too :-)
It’s a man in a gorilla suit.There was a feature on the ad in Nuts mag.
I read on Wikipedia that the Gorilla druming is supposed to represent the enjoyment of eating the chocolate.
