During the lockdown, foodpanda became a staple in our lives and cemented its identity as a reliable, fast and budget-friendly service to meet all of our food and grocery needs. From faloodas to exquisite pastries from renowned pâtisseries, foodpanda has it all! Craving halwa poori during the weekday and don’t want to get off the couch? No biggie, a foodpanda rider will be at your doorstep within minutes with your order. It doesn’t get any more convenient than that!
So you can tell how excited we were to find out that foodpanda was Islamabad United’s Quick Commerce partner for PSL 7! From the pink kits to the hilarious TVCs debuting players from Islamabad United, foodpanda went all out! Today we’re going to share three TVCs from foodpanda that made us laugh out loud!
Nothing Beats Ordering Food After Curfew!
In the first TVC by foodpanda, we see three friends at a boys’ hostel whose joy is dampened when they’re interrupted during the PSL cricket match and sent to their rooms. However, one of them has a stable internet connection and enough battery on his phone (a privilege if you ask me!) to watch the match inconspicuously under his blankets. Soon, he’s interrupted by the other two friends asking “khanay ka kia scene hai?” and whether he ordered the right toppings on his pizza.
Then, miraculously Hassan Ali shows up with their order and saves the day! How Hassan Ali got past the hostel warden remains a mystery to this day.
Maybe he gave him a signed autograph to look the other way?
This TVC is hilarious because it subtly highlights peak Pakistani culture with the ‘mufta‘ crowd – a.k.a friends who show up uninvited when you order food for yourself. We’ve all been there and though at times annoying, it is a bonding experience in its own right. Because are you even friends if you’re not eating each others’ food?
To Outer Space & Beyond!
The TVC begins with two blue-tentacled aliens watching PSL – because the appeal of cricket transcends the Earthly realm duh! The female alien is explaining to her bald-headed beau how she ordered dinner on foodpanda in advance because she didn’t want to miss the match, and he’s perplexed because he’s unsure if foodpanda even caters to their dietary needs.
At that moment Shadab Khan materializes out of thin air with their order (which looks like a jar of pink glorified intergalactic sugar cubes) and says “madam, apka order”.
Next thing you know, Shadab is speaking in tongues and is blending right in with them. Is there anything this man can’t do?!
foodpanda Is “Jetting” It Up
Are you a Pakistani if you’ve never been interrupted by load-shedding during the last over of a match? Well on the bright side, Asif Ali is here (with a jetpack no less!) to fulfil your cravings while you covertly spy on your neighbour’s screening of the match with binoculars – because they’re definitely rich and remembered to get petrol in advance for the generator. However, with their paratha roll and bun kebab from foodpanda, these two friends definitely seem to be having a good time!
With a fresh take on TVCs, foodpanda is definitely bringing the element of fun to our screens! Let us know which TVC you liked best and why in the comments below.
