At no point until the end is there any clue what this incredible Australian ad is for
Every year, Meat & Livestock Australia funds an ad to promote its product, and it’s quite an event.
This year’s creation comes from Accenture Song agency, The Monkeys, and it’s called The Generation Gap. It’s quite the journey.
@deliciousaus The Australian lamb ad for 2024 has just dropped. This year’s short film lamb-poons Boomers & Gen Zs with commentary on the generation gap. More details in linkinbio #makeitdelicious #australianlambad #australianlamb #australiantvads ♬ original sound – deliciousaus
It certainly got people talking.
Gen X gets cut off from being allowed to finish a sentence! Very accurate.

UK has the John Lewis Xmas ad.
US has Superbowl ads.
We have the yearly Lamb ad.

Great ad… But… who can afford lamb?

Why did I almost cry when the gap closed and they all hugged?
Der – the rebellious soul
The vegans would disagree.

Naturally, it found its way to Twitter/X.
I promise, you absolutely can’t predict the plot twist in this ad. 10/10, no notes. pic.twitter.com/VQeNDjBAoz

Pretty impressive if you imagine being an advertising agency getting the brief, ‘could you make an advert for Australian lamb?’ https://t.co/k1p8jE00KV

I particularly love that the stereotype of my gen X is that no one really knows who we are or gives a toss what we think https://t.co/wDwGI5OPY6

Hard to articulate, but this is written and shot exactly like a Dr Who episode. https://t.co/K6dX87vx3E

It’s actually not the most random of these adverts. That title must surely go to this one from 2017.
Amen.
