That's a bit of a "Boris Johnson or Jacob Rees-Mogg" comparison though, V'rap.

I don't really get comedy nowadays but have to say that ad is a bit of a joke, reminded me a bit of the trailers for a Troma movie. But, if that appeals to the public of today...

Didn't get to the end, cringing far too much to sit through any more.

The same sort of people will like that video that like those motiviational posters, find Mrs Browns Boys funny and spam your facebook feed with "funny" videos all the time. But if it means a few more people get a bit fitter and happier, I suppose it's worth the cringing!

I was wondering why they appeared to be drinking out of small flowerpots.

FDNB - a new line of parkrun re-usable, collapsible beakers? Have tried to zoom in to see whether they have the new parkactive branding (not really although you never know! ).

I watched the vid once. I shan't watch it again. I reflected that advertising is notoriously difficult to get right.

They were probably just all told to bring along an orange cup, someone brought a flask, someone brought some cheapo disposable ones and someone else raided their set of camping gear with some more sturdy orange mugs.

No subliminal branding conspiracy to see here.

spideog - pity because reusables would have been bang on trend.

Well, whatever it takes to get people int the park to get active I guess can only be a good thing.

It looks like this 'advert' is intended just to reassure those that might be tempted to go along but are sitting on the fence.
To those that are already attending it probably makes little sense because they already know all that stuff.
