Classic Commercials: The Original Joga Bonito Ad

The best part of this ad for me? The fact that they subtitle Eric Cantona’s English.

In English.

This is the first of the Joga Bonito series, in case you were wondering how it all began.

What I find really amusing about this ad campaign, though? I love Cantona, seriously. But how can you watch an ad like this one and not think about the video below?

Joga Bonito indeed.

  My favourite Joga Bonito ad was the ‘Can Ibrohimvic juggle chewing gum’ one. Awesome stuff.
