As every streaming platform essentially becomes like linear TV and offers more advertising than common sense, we are left sighing at the 360 adopted by society. Still, if these spots were more uniform lord of the universe-themed MoneySupermarket advertisement that aired in the UK in 2017 Perhaps viewers would be more tolerant of these frequent ad breaks.
At dusk, the scene unfolds as an unknown man, recognizable only by his terrible Lego haircut and furry boots, heads towards the Stallion Salon. It seems like one of those rough places where too much alcohol and too much testosterone turns into fights for no good reason. Remember the bar that Arnie enters terminator 2 When he goes out to buy clothes, shoes and motorcycles? It’s basically mixed with the cantina from Star Wars.
The salon’s music stops, and the patrons fall silent, recognizing who it is: heyman. The hero’s footsteps thump loudly as he searches around the room. When he sees it he stops Child Skeleton in the corner. Both the enemies close their eyes. He-Man growls. uh oh! Something is about to happen.
The tension eases as He-Man reaches for his power sword, but Skeletor is not holding back here either. Yet the warrior of Eternia does not strike his bone-headed foe with all his might. Instead, he uses magic to light up the jukebox and play Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes’ “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life”.
He-Man trades his mystical sword for Skeletor’s hand. Cha-cha-channeling the spirits of Patrick Swayze’s Johnny Castle and Jennifer Grey’s Baby Houseman from “Dirty Dancing,” the eternal rivals let their bodies do the talking here.
They reenact one of the most famous scenes from the 1987 film, as they perform their dance to the tune of bouncy bass. However, a small misstep occurred when He-Man overpowered Skeletor’s pirate, resulting in his foe crashing into the wall and into the men’s restroom.
Luckily, there is no animosity here, because all is fair in love and the dance floor. Their bodies continue to get lost in the rhythm of the night, while patrons become part of the musical numbers and dance like John Travolta.
Of course, the ad ends on a climax, as He-Man lifts Skeletor above his head for the grand finale and the Wizard bursts into his famous croon.
ten out of ten. No note.
Is this He-Man and Skeletor’s most memorable encounter yet? The 27 million views the ad received in just a few days certainly suggests so. according to innate licensingAdvertising agency Mother London’s entire concept was centered around an “epic” campaign for MoneySupermarket – a company that claims to save money for people in the UK.
Well, watching this ad didn’t save any money, but it certainly gave everyone the time of their lives. Perhaps He-Man and Skeletor should never have feuded over Grayskull’s power; All they needed to do was unite for the power of love.
Can Masters of the Universe live up to the bar set by this incredible ad? We’ll have to find out when it hits theaters on June 5th.
