When EE launched 5G in the UK, they took out a full page ad with a massive headline saying simply "A real crowd pleaser"
One of the best adverts for a long time - if you knew about the technical advantages of 5G, it had a real double meaning.
If you knew 90s British dance music, it had a further humourous double meaning promoting the telco (an oblique reference to The Shamen's Ebenezer Goode)

- louthy 1y ago> an oblique reference to The Shamen's Ebenezer Goode That didn’t even cross my mind and Rich West (Mr. C) is a friend of mine and I know the song well. I, of course, get the reference now it has been pointed out, but you’re right that it’s pretty damn oblique!
