Most of you, especially those who like American football, know that Superbowl, which is held once every year in US, is one of the most prestigious football matches. Every year, thousands of football fans go to Superbowl to support their teams. However, there are a lot of people who go to Superbowl with some other intentions – to see the commercials that are shown just once – during the break between the game halves. These commercials are usually very creative and inspiring. The most outstandings, of course, are the commercials of Coke and Pepsi, the two competitors in the world market.

The Superbowl “Godfather commercial” of Persi, where a little cute girl once cheated at the bar speaks with the voice of a Godfather, is one of my favorite Superbowl ads. Recently, owners of a drinking water Arktika that is produced in Uzbekistan made a similar commercial with the same script, but in Uzbek language. All actors, who play in the commercial, are performers in the famous Uzbek sequel Shaytanat (The Country of Evil), a movie about the mafia groups in Uzbekistan at late 80′s and in the beginning of 90′s. A little cute girl speaks with the voice of Asadbek, a main mafioso in the movie.

Here is the original Pepsi commercial. Compare and have fun :)

I wonder if the owners of Arktika bought a permission to do this ad. If not, they could be sued.

Ahli-farosating bormi o’zi? :)
