April 10th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Haha. I think you localise it better than it was on tv.
mcys version - 30% humour and 70% message
mr brown’s version - 80% humour 20% message
wa lau eh!
April 11th, 2009 at 1:55 am
when my mom saw tat tvc for the 1st time, she said “CHOY! Dai gak lie Si! Why do this kind of ad?”
April 11th, 2009 at 2:43 am
*cough* boring ripoff ….
April 11th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Hilarious. Terminal 1 + 2 + 3 + budget terminal!
April 11th, 2009 at 5:35 am
honestly saying, the real one should be better in message, but then an ‘improvised’ version would be nice…
sad that what ideas gahmen employs is gonna get messed up by mrbrown…
April 11th, 2009 at 5:49 am
the message was only 20% or even less than that, but i got the message better from here than from telly..
April 11th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Miss fire. LOL
April 11th, 2009 at 10:55 am
during these sobering times, the government engaged a foreign director for a national tv advertisement.
cannot find someone from singapore to do is it?
the idea is not new, go watch taiwanese arthouse ‘yi yi’ to figure that out!
April 11th, 2009 at 8:44 pm
This is good… LOL
Quick question, what’s the music piece behind the tvc?
April 11th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Best leh! Better than the original. Wah lau eh.

April 15th, 2009 at 8:06 am
Didn’t really like it this time…Probably because the original really had some substance this time, and this version wasn’t really funny :P
Good effort though!
April 16th, 2009 at 6:33 am
even better than the real ad :)
April 17th, 2009 at 6:39 am
wa lau eh.
That’s what the original lack.
wa lau eh.
That’s what atas people don’t understand.
wa lau eh.
Culture die already.
wa lau eh.
Thanks for the great sound bite.
wa lau eh.
April 17th, 2009 at 9:51 am
the show obviously got inspired from “Good Will Hunting”, the setting is different, but the content is similar. Imho, the ad is touching but not impressive, after all it was using a tried and tested formula.
however, mr. brown’s sound bite is quite different. although inspired from the MCYS funeral ad, the content is not the same, and it is refreshingly original, especially the message it is trying to get across.
there is nothing special about imperfect + imperfect = perfect (MCYS funeral); but it is the imperfect + imperfect = imperfect with the parties involved both trying in their lifetime to live together through thick and thin throughout this imperfect match, that makes them admirable.
mr. brown, you have done it again, well done!
April 17th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Yah… Once again our govt in their bid to be “creative” fail to be sensitive to the ordinary culture. Choy… Say family die. They then all die.
April 18th, 2009 at 4:55 am
wah lau eh. this podcast hor, sibei touching loh and funny at the same time.
April 18th, 2009 at 7:54 am
garmen indirect brainwash again
family=> commitment => more $$$ for garmen
so to summarize:
get married, get sucked more into the deeper hole….
April 21st, 2009 at 1:49 am
wa liao eh.. mr brown.. u got tears rollin down my cheeks.. wa liao eh
April 25th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

April 27th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
OUR DOG IS DEATH BECAUSE OF HER.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Just imagine this voiceover and Mark Lee standing at the podium (or wherever) and you get Singakporean humour.
Crass, unoriginal and ultimately not very funny.
I only chuckled because I realize how funny someone who speaks true Singlish sounds.
May 3rd, 2009 at 2:03 am
its hilarious. i started laughing the moment Mr Lim said his first words…
May 3rd, 2009 at 3:29 am
hehehehe….i think mrbrown tried to stick close to the original video. I could think of a 1/2 dozen “i misfire” type jokes to put in.
The funny part of sg humour is how seriously we feel or do things that are soooooooooo lame/politically incorrect/stupid/cheapskate/self opinionated. that why we like mr bean so much.
May 4th, 2009 at 3:29 am
mr brown, why all these people congratutating you ah? you are not that funny all the time, especially this one. But whatever “fart” you do,also people say good now. So, I guess u will carry on. Try harder lah…this one…abit contrived leh….the so many wah lao ehs are a give away that you are trying too hard and running out of ideas. What so funny about Changi airport, so flat (pun not intended) i am sure it is not for lack of material….how about try the AWARE saga especially that Dr Thio….good material.
May 8th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
imho, the “wa lao eh”s were what made this spoof so successful. seems like some ppl skipped out on literature class :p
May 13th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!
Yeah it sucks when a loved one dies……
Ya know, this is prob one of the best and most worthy campaigns our gahmen ever ran. In fact, I dare say this is one of the most worthy of ALL campaigns EVER run since the beginning of time! Its never bad to promote healthy loving families (and leave it up to the individuals to define their own healthy n loving)…

Hi!
Was reading your blog and thought you’d be interested to know that MCYS is holding an event tomorrow afternoon (Saturday May 16th) at 1:30pm at Siloso Beach Resort to celebrate the revealing of Singapore’s Top Ten most beautifully imperfect couples as part of their campaign that includes the Funeral TVC. See below for more details!
Media Invite
Singapore’s Top 10 Beautifully Imperfect Couples Unveiled
Find out who amongst over 350 entries will make the top 10 Beautifully Imperfect couples in Singapore
Since going live on April 7, 2009, the revolutionary “Beautifully Imperfect” Facebook contest has garnered more than 350 entries and gained close to 14,000 people who became fans, with a potentially larger base, given that users who signed up are either ‘in a relationship’, married’ or ‘engaged’. Bloggers worldwide, from as far as North America and Botswana, have added to the wild fire popularity by actively responding and commenting on the “Beautifully Imperfect” competition. The contest has even gained attention from local celebrities such as DJs Hamish Brown and Stanley Leong.
In the contest, Facebookers are invited to upload images and write about their “Beautifully Imperfect” relationship. Winners are chosen by popular vote each week and at the end of the competition, the top ten most popular couples enjoy a free weekend getaway at the Roof Garden Suite of the Siloso Beach Resort, Sentosa.
Please join the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) as we congratulate the top 10 “Beautifully Imperfect” winners who will share their experiences and thoughts on what makes their relationship “Beautifully Imperfect.” Also present will be critically acclaimed director, Yasmin Ahmad, who helmed the award-winning ‘Family’ TVC last year and the current ‘Funeral’ TVC, which aired in April this year.
Date: Saturday, 16 May 2009
Time: 1.30 – 4.30 pm
Venue: Siloso Beach Resort – Eugenia Room
