The Lucky Pig · Grilstad

A little girl gets a pot-bellied pig for her birthday. In a pink roll-neck wooly jumper. What could possibly go wrong?

This new one from Jesper sees a daughter’s birthday treat turn into a father’s worst nightmare. The fallout (aka droppings) of adopting a pig into family life takes his toll on our doting dad, with the climax of the film seeing him at his wits’ end, standing over a frying pan filled with gently sizzling bacon…

It’s another slice of what Jesper does best: a charming glimpse into an odd chapter of family life, with a hint of the bizarre making it endearingly unforgettable.

Jesper’s back… and it doesn’t get any more bonkers than this.

Only the brilliant Jesper Ericstam could make a pensions commercial this fun, weird and catchy. The many concerns of everyday Swedes about their retirement plans are soothed by a mad drumming Old Father Time high above the city, drumming along to classic Euro dance hit “Tarzan Boy”, a song last heard coming out of a dodgy Benidorm disco in 1985.

It’s classic Jesper, with the old man’s tune almost certain to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

Binge watch four of Jesper’s co-directed spots, made for the home of online binge watching!

Presenting our simmering Swede’s latest: four films back-to-back about four men watching the online streaming service in four different, amusing situations. Part one sees Moustache Man breaking the fourth wall; part two delves into an underground TV watching club (“the first rule of TV Club is…”); part three has a very cunning son getting the best over his dear-old Mum; and the final – and probably our favourite – part features a cat perched on a man’s head.

Jesper is no stranger to directing multi-part campaigns – his previous offerings for IF Insurance (https://vimeo.com/album/2115407) and Comviq (https://vimeo.com/21156706) were all quintessentially Jesper. This series, made for Netflix’s rollout in Germany, carries on his tradition for off-beat comedy with perfect casting and brilliantly-observed characters in fine fashion.

So kick back, relax, and watch them all!
