Snickers always have their commercials on any channel with football, which means that I am often exposed to these ads.
Watch it -
When I first saw their latest ad, I thought it was cool and all but what does it have to do with Snickers … and then I saw their slogan “Don’t Stop” and remembered, and the ad jumped straight to become one of my favorite ads!
Then I found out from some friends that the music for the ad is by Army of One, a Kuwaiti rap group. The song is called Let’s Roll (sample) and it is from their new album, Hush.

What made me love this ad more than just the fact that it was a great ad was that it was -
- Created by a local agency - Impact / BBDO, Dubai
- Filmed in Saudi
- The music used has been taken from a local band
I am not 100% about this, but apparently there is another US version made from the same ad, with the only difference being the music, where Limp Bizkit and Snoop Dogg replacing Army of One with their “Red Light Green Light” song. Watch it and be the judge as to which one you prefer….I personally like the Army of One ad, especially the end part, the music is alot more energetic and goes with the action!

Wow, really awesome CGI. Was it farmed out or done in-house? Do you know?
I didn’t know there were any CGI studios in the emirates!

I agree that “Army of One’s” song compliments the ad more than the other version. That said, I LOVE this ad! Quite clever, I think.

It’s a nice com. and the music is nice ,
But dont you all think it promotes violence ?? i mean you are all big boys and girls. but what about 4-10 year old kids, doesnt this add. make fighting appear like its something cool in their eyes ?
If it were to me, i would ban this add. due to excessive violence .or at least show it only later in the evenings.

Extremely violent commercial which promotes hooliganism not sports
creative ? 300 spartans would all yell YEAH!!!
BUT the message it sends is all wrong…I wish the two red and green characters would shake hands at the end or something
Its a great commercial for the movie ((Fight club)) maybe…but as an AD for candy …it makes me go hummm!…or maybe here in the Middle East we need the extra touch of violence in our TV to compliment the shitty reality
Army of One deserve more exposure here in Kuwait and - wishful thinking - live concerts

I loved it too ! Reminded me of West Side Story

BoJaij and Abdulaziz, I agree with the violence side, but I think the idea was like Black Lace said a rip off from West Side Story.
Also, think about it as going and moving fighting back against stopping and not little men, the idea is to keep going

It is an innovative and catchy commercial.
But is it responsible?
I agree with Abdulaziz and Bojaij.
And the message at the end: Don’t stop….
We don’t need that kind of message to be ingrained in people’s heads and associated with traffic lights and pedestrian lights.
Army of One sound great though

i noticed one license plate on the car in both Ads is Saudi Arabia, so i don’t think that the second Ad is a U.S Ad, i think it’s just another version.
