BWAHHAHA!!!

I haven’t laughed so hard at a TV advert for absolutely eons :D

Yesterday I watched the brand new Nando’s ad which takes a brilliantly hilarious stab at third world dictators. BEHOLD.

Nando’s - The Last Dictator

Basically it depicts Robert Mugabe sitting around his dinner table, thinking about all the good times he spent with various other dictators from around the world. This includes a golden AK-47 water pistol toting Ghadaffi and a joyous PW Botha being pushed on a swing in a park.

This plays nicely off the madness that recently ensued around the death of Ghadaffi and how these dictator’s days are numbered!

Nando’s is a yummy fast food chain that started in South Africa, which is renowned for its super witty adverts that are often controversial and mega relevant for the time.

What I love about the Nando’s advertising team is that they are so insanely sharp!
When something of importance happens, whether it’s political, or simply entertainment, Nando’s will strike back with a clever advert literally the next day…if not the same day it happens.

The Nando’s ‘advertising legend’ has grown to such an extent in South Africa that when something big goes down, we are not interested to hear what the President has to say, but rather what Nando’s will say…its usually more truthful LOL.

Haha, Nando’s really does serve as a ‘looking glass’ into South African society and our more closely guarded opinions. 

Get ready to see and hear more from the super funny The Last Dictator campaign, it will soon be heard on radio and spread across various publications.

Word on the street is that the radio ads will feature a very well known voice….I wonder who it could be?

What do you guys and girls think of the new ad?

D

PS: Check out this funny advert that came out this week for the ‘Black Tuesday’ freedom of speech palaver. CLASSIC!
