Short description: Entitled ‘Hamster’, the outrageous ad features a guy who performs some amazing ball skills with his girlfriend’s pet hamster. The hamster is seen rolling along the floor of their flat inside its hamster ball, when the guy flicks it up, juggles it on both knees, flicks it off the back of his neck and then volleys it out the fifth floor window. The commercial introduces the endline: ‘Get your kicks at Powerleague’.
‘Hamster’ ran nationally as a viral directing UK footie players to the Powerleague website. No hamsters were harmed in the making of the film, but the lead actor did stub his toe on a coffee table.
