Just Weighing In said:

Funnier the more I watch it. Shot nicely too.

The answer said:

'Ever wondered how we seal the envelope your Sky bill comes in?'

'No I haven't.'

Lloyd's Mum said:

C'mon & The answer, I'm with you.

Lloyd's Mum said:

Friend of Lloyd

Does the cast include the envelopes?

Lloyd's Mum said:

I may be a bitch, but deep down I wish Lloyd could moisten my flaps.

Not Lloyds mum said:

I like it. A clever way of dealing with a boring subject.

Rewi said:

I had a good long think of this. This may sound stupid but hypothetically if Lloyd does exist what will happen to him after, socially and economically? Everybody thinks it's a good thing to get your bills via email and fair enough, it saves on postage, manpower and it's a much more efficient billing system, but in effect does this efficient system make yet another position redundant? Will he stay on at Sky? Is this another job down the drain? Can we weigh this up and say this is a good thing at all? Good for Sky corporation but not for little men like Lloyd :( Will he be promoted or demoted? Will his role in Sky be secure? Can they promise him a different position or will he have to go on the benefit? No offense to Lloyd's line of work but if that's the only line of work he can get/is qualified for, what chance is there for him to get another? Yet another job affected by our economic situation! I actually feel sorry for Lloyd!

crap. More boring-ness. DDB - come on.

Errr... said:

The art direction and camera framing save this. Well, not save, but make it watchable... if you only watch it once.

Hayden said:

Made me laugh and take notice. Entertaining outcome from what was probably a very boring challenge.

Sam Subramanian said:

Lloyd is the best aad I have seen in the last 10 years. Well done, message was pretty strong and will certainly save many trees ...

Hohepa said:

Makes me want to scream!! Yuk!!
