It's a great feeling, isn't it, when a joke lands? So good for the protagonist of this spot, in fact, that he feels the need to repeat it again... and again... and again...
Utilising the genuine comedic talents of MindsEye's Andrew Gaynord, Get In On The Jokes presents us with a handful of folk who, unbeknownst to our joker, are tuning into the latest laughfests on Audible's service.
Taking a delightfully simple idea and running with it, Fold7's concept matched with Gaynord's timing and a delightful turn from the lead actor makes for more of a laugh than our hero could ever hope to muster.
“At first, following Laugh Through It felt like making the ‘difficult second album’," notes Dave Billing, ECD at Fold7. "But actually we’ve hung on to so many things that made that first spot great - the comedy, the simplicity, the performances. And this time we’ve added a bittersweet soupçon of human truth, which is to show how rubbish it feels not to be in on the joke.
"Most importantly, we’ve made an ad that’s as funny as the content that Audible offers. An ad about comedy really does have to be funny, we think.”
