Discussed it yesterday on LBC. Apparently it's gone viral and would appear to be a brilliant, and cheap, bit of marketing.
I'd never heard of Robert Dyas before

[BrabusMog]

I don't usually like stuff like this, but this was funny. Even if it's just sheer WTF factor

[Matttrakker]

This is thoroughly strange. It's not even funny? Just awkward.
I get basically telling bigoted people not to come here, but the gay guys aren't nearly camp enough! And the straight guy is the worst actor.

Apparently they are genuine members of staff.

I have shopped at Robert Dyas before so didn't need advertising.

The advertising has put me off ever shopping there again. Not quite sure that's the idea behind advertising.

It's a piss take of an old rhett and link advert for a local shop, the problem is that the original isn't that well known so this advert really doesn't work.

I'll find the original.

Here's the original, rhett and link are YouTube famous and make 'funny' musical adverts for local companies....:

"James" as featured in the ad is in fact the Marketing Director for Robert Dyas.

Would you really not shop there over a random advert?

How odd.

2 items in 2 shops same price would I choose a shop which comes across amateurishly of course I wouldn't, and some adverts do put me off especially if they are infuriating, sadly I'm tight enough that I'll always go with the best value but all else being equal I'll vote with my wallet.
