Tiger’s Advert Parody

by

It’s only been days since Nike’s new Tiger Woods advertisement was launched, and it’s already gaining heavy media attention. Whether or not people approve of the advert, the points still go to Nike. Frankly, I’m getting sick of people discussing and overanalyzing it.

Instead, let’s go for something light, such as this parody by our crazy friends at Funny Or Die.

So far it’s been getting more “funny” over “die” ratings. What do you think?

I must give shout-outs to the guys behind this parody—Derek Reid as Tiger, writer Andy Harris, graphic dude Jeff Stein, and producer Jim Harmon. Good job, boys!

Tiger’s New Advert

by

Here’s one brand that isn’t ditching the shamed golfer. Nike shot a new TV advertisement in the 34-year-old’s golf course in Florida. Being the first TV commercial since Tiger’s scandal last year, the advert has received mixed reactions.

Shot in black and white, the dream-like advert shows a pensive-looking Tiger listening to the voice of his late father Earl Woods. “Tiger, I am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. I want to find out what your thinking was. I want to find out what your feelings are. And did you learn anything?” Earl asks as the camera slowly zooms in on Tiger.

Some people find the ad a bit creepy and bizarre, while others find it nostalgic. Tiger’s father passed away in 2006, and it was a very difficult period in his life.

Watch the 30-second advert below.

What do you think? Was the idea effective for endorsing Nike?
