Comedy genius
The British comedy troupe Monty Python once observed that American beer is a lot like making love in a canoe. Why this is so is not something that needs to be elaborated on, although any fan of Monty Python already knows the next line. Fosters beer adverts lets someone know how to speak Australian, which is probably a separate language from what they speak in England, American. I am of course aware of the differences between British American and Genuine American.
Perhaps the one that leaves me the most confuse is the one the ad that gives the viewer the definition of a man purse. We see a someone, ostensibly a worker, come out and put a large purse into an apparently well-use sack. He walks away with the wrench on his back, perhaps going to fight some Mad Max style biker gang with the item. When he starts to walk off into the sunset, we hear the narrator say “man purse.”
Although the man purse does exist, and the most famous example is Brian Kilmead’s “man bag”, I always wonder what this Foster’s TV ad is trying to convey. Perhaps its best to not worry about what the ad means or where the humor is and try the product its advertising. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. It does not share one most obvious trait in common with American beer, and usually comes pretty cheap too. A result all in all. Get the band round and get the crates in, surely like the beer, inspiration will flow.
