Drove us crazy, made us Mad !!! (Suzuki GS 150 R)

I was just watching TV last week and than I came across this ad. Yeah, its been here for quite a while and I was thinking of writing about it from the very first day I saw it but I forgot about this ad. Now this time I decided to blabber about the ad of Suzuki GS150-R.
But let us know about the company first. Suzuki is here in India for quite a long time. For those of you who don't know about it; Yes, its true. It had a kind of Joint venture with the TVS company. But its pretty hard to survive like Hero Honda and be the market leader. Thats why TVS-Suzuki and Kawasaki-Bajaj failed.

Now about the ad. Anybody remember the ad "No problem" of suzuki samurai??? It was one of my favorite ads and I still remember it. Since Suzuki Re-entered in the market, this company is not doing any good for itself as well as for consumers. If you remember the ad of Zeus, all I remember about the ad is that was a Crap ad. Just following it, comes another rubbish ad from Suzuki.

The ad start with a girl saying to the rider "Drive me Crazy". And rider tries to do that or somewhat actually manages to do that with this bike. First of all, emphasis on looks has been given on this bike. But this bike is a mixture of all the other bike of this segment. And what is the Sixth gear doing in a 150cc bike with 13.8 bhp which is nearly lowest in the segment. In the end of this ad, some drums from the ongoing truck "accidentally" fall downs and comes in front of the bike but Rider stops the bike with the help of front disc brake and both of the rider and pillion manages to miss those drums. Not even a single drum touches any one of them and not even the bike. And the "overjoyed lady" says in the end "once more". And the shit ends.
The bike is as rubbish as the ad and its a commuter-tourer bike. So it might be liked by the executives but I havent seen more that 10 GS150-R on road. Maybe this explains that the bike as well as the ad of it is a Big Flop and fails to drive us crazy, rather makes us crazy enough to buy another bike.

Bike = Bull !!! (Hero Honda Hunk)

I am the leader, I am the boss, I can do anything and you have to accept... sorry, tolerate it. Thats what Hero Honda thinks. If you don't believe me, than just take a look at their ads. Whenever I watch any of their crap ads, I am like...#%@*!!! As you've read my review on Glamour ad (if not, than u better read it first) ;-)

Before starting, I wanna share one more thing with you. I somewhere read that TV ads of Hero Honda are getting rave reviews. (Here I go again) Say what? Rave Reviews? Dude, whoever posted that he/she was ill...I mean mentally. Tell me, where the hell are you guys are getting rave reviews of your ads? Am I living in third world? This or That ad of Hero Honda is awesome,I never saw that kind of ad, have any one of you heard that??? But I've heard about the Pulsarmania ad, which was...SUPERB(no, not skoda superb). HH guys,once just once read any of my review on your ads. You will sure quit the job of Hero Honda. Atleast Hero Honda always gets rave reviews about the products. But c'mon, not the ads.

So after few and quite interesting trailors or spoilers or teasers or...whatever they call them, there comes the ad. The ad of the product which will help them to survive above 125cc segment (thats what they think). In your dreams Hero Honda. The customer of this product is mainly youth, and what we think, is different from the customers of 100c bikes. We just don't look at the logo of the company, and blindly buy the bike no matter how high the price is!!! Half lakh, yes just look at this way, most of the people spend half a lakh, nearly 50,000 Rs. for a mere 100cc bike???

Now back to the topic... In this ad, a guy is riding the bike through some mountain area or whatever. Just look at the helmet.Is this the kind of helmet u wear while riding a 150cc bike???
Anyway,no big deal till now. Suddenly the guy saw a group of bulls in his way. Normal people like us would have changed the route or just waited for the bulls to move away from there. But this guy, this maniac, this guy from other world,with his bike "Transforms" into another big bull that scares away all the other bulls. Are you a son of magician or Hero Honda Hunk have a button somewhere that transforms the bike into a bull??? This shit is not finished here. They have launched a so called Special Edition which have a logo of standing bull on its rear two legs(can't stop laughing). And with both red alloys... That reminded me of CBZ-Xtreme with rear red wheel and front black wheel which is a huge hit among various circus in our country. Yes, that bike just favours the character of clown with one red and another black alloy wheel(no offence to the buyers of that bike). This ad of Special Edition Hunk is still on air with minor changes done to the original ad. They should have transformed the Special edition hunk into the bull... with red legs, a red racing stripe along his back and red horns. LMAO.

Anyway, I think HH guys have somehow heard about my reviews because their latest ad of Hero Honda Passion Pro is nice. I really like this ad. No crap, no super powers, no non-sense, just the right projection of the product with its features. There, you got it. See HH, its not that hard. So stop torturing us with your horrible ads and make some good ads.Believe it or not, I own a CBZ(the old one) and few other members of my family own other Hero Honda bikes. So this proves I am not a paid guy from Bajaj or any other company which loves to criticize ads, price and products of Hero honda. But here's another thing that I am soon going to sell off my CBZ and buy a Yamaha :D

Bak Bak Go (Hero Honda Karizma)

Some of the ads are interesting, some are not. The one which is being shown again and again nowadays is of Karizma.

Today I am going to rip off tv ad of HH Karizma.

First, few words about the bike. Hero Honda Karizma is overall a good bike. but it is NOW dated. HH guys did some cosmetic changes in the previous model by adding some graphics and a small engine guard. Wow, that makes the bike super cool and super fast. NO. Mind you, no engine changes, no extra power, no rear disc brake nothing. While competitors Bajaj introduced much powerful, good looking, full of the features etc. etc. and Yamaha introduced R15 with 150cc engine with same power as Karizma, killer looks but you have to shell out more money for that.

So HH thought it should tell the consumers about the changes in this bike through its ad. Hrithik Roshan is the brand ambassador of this company along with some cricketers and Priyanka Chopra. I don’t know what the hell was in their mind when they approved the ad for telecasting. It is rubbish, far from reality, born from a shit-head mind AD. It doesn’t mean that if you have Hrithik Roshan than you can do everything with the help of this bike. There is no need to wash your bike, you just have to ride it fast while doing wheelie and mud will wipe off. Are we f*#king stupid to believe that??? No at all, but the one who created this ad. THIS AD SUCKS. And these a*$holes still air this ad on tv, and check out this one…near the end of this ad, the guy says “ALL NEW STRIKING KARIZMA” or something like that. Somebody tell this guy its not “STRIKING NEW” anymore. It is old, dated and very slow (power vise) compared to P220 and R15. HH please learn something from your competitors even if you are the market leader or No.1 from last 8 years. Look at some of the bajaj ads, some of the TVS Apache ads.

F#*k you Hero Honda and don’t make such ads which makes me (and some of you guys out there) to punch or break or blast my TV set. And what is this DHAK DHAK GO??? The beginning of this ad is awesome and mysterious, a guy which is ready to land on a helipad through sky with help of helicopter. But after that, the AD turns into a hoax, disaster, crap, shit (please suggest me more such words)… It has a full length song with dance of Hrithik Roshan and some cricketers and Priyanka Chopra. SONGS are not used in the ads, these are called JINGLES, which are much shorter. Got it??? No problem if the ad is too long but it has to be interesting, thrilling and it should tell the consumers about the product features. Just like the PULSARMANIA ad which is now banned. The best ad I’ve ever seen. Believe me Hero Honda, a majority of viewers out their just change the channel because of the above two ads. This is not good for you and definitely not for that TV channel.

I call this ad BAK BAK GO, because I want HH to stop its BAK-BAK and just GO. Think something new about the bike and its ad.
