Neymar’s FIFA World Cup 2018 Rolling Antics Mocked in This Hilarious KFC South Africa Video Ad!
All eyes will be on Neymar today during the Brazil and Belgium World Cup Quarter final match.
Neymar has hogged the limelight right from the start of the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia more for his theatrics than showcasing his deft skill on the ground. His antics and rolls have made all the soccer fans agitated, and social media is filled with memes mocking his never-ending rolling. Capitalising on this hugely popular sentiment is KFC South Africa who has launched their latest ad.
The brand has a hilarious twist to Neymar's antics in the ad which shows a soccer play hitting the ground and then dramatically rolling off the field and through town before getting up to order KFC. The ad says, "Why make a meal of it for a free kick when you can make a meal of it with a Streetwise 2 for R29.90!"
Watch the hilarious video:
Neymar's rolling on the field during a game against Serbia, after being knocked by an opponent, has become both a meme and a hashtag. KFC has done a great marketing job in banking on popular sentiment to market its product. The ad will not only help KFC to grab eyeballs, but the brand will also be remembered for their excellent timing. All eyes will be on Neymar today as Brazil will face Belgium in the World Cup Quarterfinal match today.
