Looking at the silly and senseless set of ads which Vodafone has come out with in Season 5 of the IPL, one can't help but wonder, whatever happened to the Zoozoos?
Viewers loved them, with many of them looking forward to the IPL on television, as much for cricket as for the Zoozoos!
In fact, the Zoozoos set off such a buzz in town that soon, there was a slew of merchandise out there, all pertaining to the Zoozoos, be it Zoozoo caps, t-shirts, pens, pencils, bags, inflatable toys and other items with a wider appeal to the young and old alike.
Against such a backdrop, it seems really very hard to fathom as to why would Vodafone completely drop the Zoozoo ads in favor of the rather silly, baseless, and apparently senseless ads which it has been running in Season 5?
Perhaps taking a look at some of the ads which Vodafone has come out with in IPL Season 5 (2012) will give you good insights into what is being spoken about - as you will clearly note, they are a far cry from the intelligent, humorous and highly creative Zoozoo ads which it had been showcasing in previous seasons of the IPL.

Shouldn't the folks at Vodafone have concentrated on creating far more creative, entertaining and engaging advertisements, than the boring ones seen above? In fact, in most of the ads showcased above, it seems like an impossible proposition, even to gauge what exactly is being conveyed in them.
They are indeed a sharp contrast to the Zoozoo ads which ran during previous seasons of the IPL. Just to refresh your memory, some of those iconic Zoozoo ads are showcased below. Enjoy!

As you can clearly see in the above Zoozoo ads, they are easily a class apart from the Vodafone ads which are being showcased in Season 5 of the IPL (2012). Wonder what got to Vodafone, to be showcasing such terrible ads!
Just hope that better sense prevails...maybe some heads roll in the Marketing Department or in the ad agency - and we can see the adorable Zoozoos again!
Amen!
