For some reason there is something inherently surreal about the world of fish. Consider, for example, the following joke:
Q. How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. Fish.
This loony spot created for Fishermans Friend by Toronto agency Arrivals & Departures, was helmed by The Perlorian Brothers, through Merchant, with their particular brand of tomfoolery complementing the brand’s quirky identity.
Titled Reel It In, the film is set for in a mysterious hotel where a dotty cast of characters, from bell hops to singing divas, are saved from irritating throats and pesky coughs by the Fisherman’s Friend mascot, a magical mariner who pops up in very unusual places to share his soothing medicaments.
