You CRINGE You Lose: The Worst TV Ads Ever

To explain the end of the sprite commercial:
The other players who are really good only get to meet the teacher once a week while the bad player who drank the sprite gets to practice with her everyday.
EDIT: Due to the sheer number of similar comments, I have realized that a large portion of TwoSetters are Filipino, in which case, HELLO MGA KAPWA PINOY TWOSETTERS

[carolpoblete]

Just some context on the Sprite ad: The tagline “Magpakatotoo Ka!” means be your authentic self. So the green violin dude just admitted how he really plays and was picked out because the girl actually told him that they need to meet everyday and practice for he is the worst player! :)

When she broke the bow for the violin, I could tell that they were both hurt on a spiritual level.

“There you go, percussionists…you’re basically diarrhea.”

I was rolling around for a good three minutes

[LookingForFrogs]

I would really love a video of them taking someone with no music education and teaching them to fake violin playing convincingly

[clarapieri]

The second ad was actually about a medicine for anxiety and the violin was representing anxiety which is probably worse than a sore throat (although maybe more accurate for some people)

[christinashelby]

I have never touched a violin, but I have obviously been watching Twoset for a long time, because my heart fell out of me when that lady snapped the bow. Holy cow.

[federico]

The spot where she breaks the bow at the end is in Italian. The product is to help manage anxiety, the latter represented by the violinist doing a tune similar to the "Jaws" theme wherever she goes.

I'm quite embrassed to say this but "whatever that city is" is actually Istanbul, the stairs at 12:44 are called "Kamondo stairs" which I've climbed every morning to go to my high school. It's a city of 16 millions of people, they could have easily find a violinist (even I would do better, I'm a piano player but also played violin for two years).

[PlumberryPuppet]

I think the ironic thing about the sprite ad is that the green violin guy actually kept his bow very parallel to the bridge, and also the sounds that he made were pretty reasonable compared to bow movement, like the strings his bow was on and stuff.

: So you're an instrumentalist?
: Yeah
: What do you play?

When the bar is so low, just getting a real musician is enough to pass lol

[jlachman]

I just want to point out as a harpist that at 3:57 the harp is absolutely on the wrong shoulder but it probably looked better for the ad to make her face visible to the camera. It’s just so wrong though, since harps are built for your right shoulder. The fact that you guys remembered that from your lesson and pointed it out makes me so happy.

[hannahwatermelon]

I lost it at "there you go percussionists, you are basically diarrhea" LMAO 5:17

[andrewmccormack]

5:22..I've being playing drums and percussion for over 40yrs and nobody has ever accused me of causing diarrhea, but I do still love your channel/reactions.

[street.ligh]

When the bow breaks:
Violinists: it's the sound of heart breaking

[iversonpaulalay]

For the first ad actually, he played so bad, that he and the teacher needs to meet every day to practice. Given how the four of them wants to spend more time with their teacher, he takes his awful playing as an ultimate win.😂

[laurazandegiacomo]

AHAHAH the second one is an italian ad, the man playing the violin represents anxiety, so she breaks the bow to break free. Still sacrilegious, but not completely nonsense

Re: Apple Commercial
I have several friends that were in this shoot (all real professional musicians) but what you might not realize is that it’s not an uncommon practice for the director of the commercial to have people switch instruments for the video shoot because they think someone looks more like they play a certain instrument. In this particular video, a few of the violinists aren’t actually violinists. There are music consultants on set that work to make it look as real as possible, from how the group is setup to how the instruments are held. The bassoonist, however, is a real bassoonist and he is truly an amazing musician.

The Cantonese ad killed me

“Four hands”

I’m going to die of laughter
