Controversy-shmontroversy.
Seriously people. Turn da frown, de udduh way aroun’.
This was my absolute favorite super-bowl ad this year.

Really.
I watched it and felt like it was ME. Okay, no, I don’t actually talk with an accent at the office (only because I am terrible at accents). But I am SO that guy. Well, as a girl. But that’s me. Midwesterner. Island dreamer.
I have witnessed the vending machine failure and sadness of the purchaser. …..Don’ fret me brudda…. Sticky bun come soon. So true.
I have sat thru countless, endless, dismal meetings…. that I know needed a smile. (I may, or may not have, started the wave around a conference room table a time or two.)
You don’t like it? Don’ be no cloud on a sunny day. Adam Stewart, Sandals Resorts’ Jamaican CEO, said it so well in his tweet: “Like happiness, Jamaican accents don’t come in a color!” True that.
I love this ad spot. I love the office guy’s take on the workday. He is not letting his northern latitude determine his attitude. I say he totally has sandonthebrain.
Respect.

I absolutely love, love, LOVE this ad. It was my favorite too. It’s kind of tied with the clydesdale one, but I quote this one more. I’m not good at accents either, but that doesn’t stop me from telling my husband to “Don’ me a cloud on a sunny day, mon.” I usually get a really strange look with that one.
Thanks for reminding me of this awesome ad…..”German engineering with a Jamaican accent.” Gotta love it.
Haha! I love it! And thanks for the re-blog! 🙂
