O' course they are smart boys and girls and have thought of lots of clever and interesting questions in order to squeeze some advertising wisdom out of those two stars. However they are still giving everyone a chance to quiz these masters – especially as most of the readers of ihaveanidea are North Americans, we shall see what London's creative crowd is curious about. Send your questions to Brett (brett@ihaveanidea.org subject: Erik & Philippe) or leave a comment before Monday the 26th of January. State your name and location if you wanna be credited in the video.
Here are some of my favourite print ads done under Erik V.

"cooking with Erik & Philippe"
not gonna happen :(
I like the DandAD iTunes podcasts... always worth listening to.
and i don't like those ads. Especially the jam one. or was it bread...
on a much brighter note... i see you got to see Manu Chao. You lucky bugger.
yeah, the concert was super good, best gig i've been to in london.
Yeh. Aids is like 'fucking' a scorpion?
t'other ads are good though, apart from the Fallon 'Velvet' rip off.
Surely the scorpion one was referring to the 'sting in the tail'. All the benefits of shit sex but with the added benefit of aids
Sorry if this is off topic, but does anyone else think the (relatively) new xbox 360 ads, music games in the Head (by AKQA I think) are a complete rip off of the PS2 print ad?
K, it's totally ripped off. Such a shame, I thought Xbox can do way better, like the stuff that 72andsunny did for them, or BBH.
It's really strange isn't it. I'm not sure who did it, but the 360 'gun fight' ad is my favorite. A really cute idea!

K the ads in the head are really similar, i'm told theey're done by an agency in San Francisco.
Probably why they're so Gay.
This is ridiculous but dark. Wery wery dark.

Koush is that you?
Don't be talking to this lot, you'll get no tips about finding a job here like. Go and watch some BSG.
Thanks for the help Wal & Jai, and thanks to those who sent me their questions. Keep 'em coming!
the bread one is awesome.
Love a bit of IHAI.
Forums are a chuckle, put on a good show across the planet. Nice guys too. No-one has put any academia work up from the UK yet - think it's too much pressure?
K - I'd never seen the gun ad for x-box cheers for that. Genius. Music is a little unusual though.
Dear K,
Yes I do see the similarity, but we didn't do them, that was McCann.
Cheers
Matt (AKQA)
Thanks for the clarification Matt!
Cheers
Just remembered this ad by Erik Vervroegen, Chris Garbutt and Matthew Branning

UPDATE:
"Cooking with Erik & Philippe" (the name we inexplicably started calling the interview) went off smoothly. You can see it all at ihaveanidea's brand new video podcast on iTunes

Cheers, and thanks! We'll do drinks when I'm in London again...
