Johnny Vegas Brings Sunny To Life At Costa Bingo
It’s been a while since we have seen a new advert from any of the many bingo sites available on the Internet but at the beginning of the month we saw Costa Bingo launch a couple of short adverts on the small screen. Television viewers are no able to hear the dulcet tones of Johnny Vegas come from the animated mouth of Sunny, the brand’s mascot.
To be honest, we were really excited when Costa Bingo announced at the end of May that Johnny Vegas was to be involved in their commercials but the adverts have been a massive anticlimax for us. We were expecting something similar to the Mel B adverts where she was a giant strolling through London promoting the big jackpots, instead, we have been given animated bingo balls.
Whilst we are disappointed, we were curious as to the feedback of viewers and took to social media to see if there were any comments about Johnny being the voice of the balls. Surprisingly tweeters had very little to say other than for confirmation that it was him and one Twitter user tweeted
Why’s Johnny Vegas doing voice-overs for bingo on TV? Get a grip lad,you’re involving yourself in human misery. #GambleResponsibly #Oxymoron
In fact, it would be fair to say that there has been little response to the adverts on social media as yet.
The Costa Bingo Johnny Vegas Commercials
There are currently two available to view on YouTube, neither of which we have actually seen on television as yet. One is simply called ‘Balls’ and sees Sunny catching a selection of bingo balls. As he catches them he uses the rhyming slang for the number but when he catches 73 he says ‘bingo for free’ and then gets all excited about the fact that Costa Bingo offers free games.
The second of the two adverts is called Sunglasses and sees Sunny float onto the screen wearing a pair of shades. He turns to the camera and asks the viewer if they want to have some fun for free. Off camera someone wolf whistles and Sunny explains he doesn’t mean that sort of fun before waxing lyrical about the welcome offer.
