When she broke the bow for the violin, I could tell that they were both hurt on a spiritual level.

Just some context on the Sprite ad: The tagline “Magpakatotoo Ka!” means be your authentic self. So the green violin dude just admitted how he really plays and was picked out because the girl actually told him that they need to meet everyday and practice for he is the worst player! :)

“There you go, percussionists…you’re basically diarrhea.” I was rolling around for a good three minutes

I would really love a video of them taking someone with no music education and teaching them to fake violin playing convincingly

To explain the end of the sprite commercial: The other players who are really good only get to meet the teacher once a week while the bad player who drank the sprite gets to practice with her everyday. EDIT: Due to the sheer number of similar comments, I have realized that a large portion of TwoSetters are Filipino, in which case, HELLO MGA KAPWA PINOY TWOSETTERS

The second ad was actually about a medicine for anxiety and the violin was representing anxiety which is probably worse than a sore throat (although maybe more accurate for some people)

I'm quite embrassed to say this but "whatever that city is" is actually Istanbul, the stairs at 12:44 are called "Kamondo stairs" which I've climbed every morning to go to my high school. It's a city of 16 millions of people, they could have easily find a violinist (even I would do better, I'm a piano player but also played violin for two years).

I lost it at "there you go percussionists, you are basically diarrhea" LMAO 5:17

I have never touched a violin, but I have obviously been watching Twoset for a long time, because my heart fell out of me when that lady snapped the bow. Holy cow.

When the bar is so low, just getting a real musician is enough to pass lol

The Cantonese ad killed me “Four hands” I’m going to die of laughter

I'm shocked that you guys missed the Jazz Bass being mimed with a MIDI bass at 10:36!! I couldn't stop laughing! The notes from the bass were WAY too even and too perfect to be a real Jazz Bass.

: So you're an instrumentalist? : Yeah : What do you play? . . . . . *Opens umbrella*

The spot where she breaks the bow at the end is in Italian. The product is to help manage anxiety, the latter represented by the violinist doing a tune similar to the "Jaws" theme wherever she goes.

10:58don't you love when you get more than you expected?

I think the ironic thing about the sprite ad is that the green violin guy actually kept his bow very parallel to the bridge, and also the sounds that he made were pretty reasonable compared to bow movement, like the strings his bow was on and stuff.

I just want to point out as a harpist that at 3:57 the harp is absolutely on the wrong shoulder but it probably looked better for the ad to make her face visible to the camera. It’s just so wrong though, since harps are built for your right shoulder. The fact that you guys remembered that from your lesson and pointed it out makes me so happy.

When the bow breaks: Violinists: it's the sound of heart breaking

What Brett said at 9:02 just made me realize why my parents bought this chocolate (just a joke they actually never saw this ad they just bought it cause they heard the chocolate was decent)

I play flute but when the girl broke the bow it both physically and mentally hurt me

For the first ad actually, he played so bad, that he and the teacher needs to meet every day to practice. Given how the four of them wants to spend more time with their teacher, he takes his awful playing as an ultimate win.😂

AHAHAH the second one is an italian ad, the man playing the violin represents anxiety, so she breaks the bow to break free. Still sacrilegious, but not completely nonsense

Re: Apple Commercial I have several friends that were in this shoot (all real professional musicians) but what you might not realize is that it’s not an uncommon practice for the director of the commercial to have people switch instruments for the video shoot because they think someone looks more like they play a certain instrument. In this particular video, a few of the violinists aren’t actually violinists. There are music consultants on set that work to make it look as real as possible, from how the group is setup to how the instruments are held. The bassoonist, however, is a real bassoonist and he is truly an amazing musician.

5:03 another twoset telepathy moment for the compilers

3:03 Me: "hmm, doesn't look that sacrileg-" *Breaks a precious bow*

she snapped that bow like it was a twig. im not even a violinist and i felt that in the depths of my soul

8:50 those chocolates are soooooooo good

Whenever I see these on TV, I only have two things to say: 1. RIP violin 2. RIP film crew's ears

Attempt no. 16 at trying to get twoset to do this for a video. Eddy has to listen to ten violinists play behind a screen. One of them will be Brett. He has to figure out which one. Once he has made his final guess they swap places. They can do it in rounds like the blind date videos. Please like and comment if you want to see a video like this.

Dear ad producers. If you want to put classical music (especially violin-related) contents in your advertisement, please get Twoset inspection before releasing. You can save lots of souls from cringing/pain.

Found this channel about a week ago. I forgot I always wanted to play the violin but my parents made me learn piano instead. I am now looking to buy a violin and have subscribed to the channel. Thanks TwoSetViolin!

2:26 I think she said "You are the worst so should practice together more" and that is exactly what he wanted

this isn’t a “you cringe you lose” they’re just reviewing and roasting the ads

9:55 i kinda missed Bretts Lofi when the rain started pouring

5:22..I've being playing drums and percussion for over 40yrs and nobody has ever accused me of causing diarrhea,but I do still love your channel/reactions.

4:24 it's actually a left shoulder harp, you can tell by the strings on it and how they face to the right instead of the left, her hand placement is wonky tho

In the first ad, the girl was the teacher and at the end of it, he told the guy (the one drinking the soda) that they will practice everyday; while, the others would only meet once a week. That's why the horrid player (all of of them are tbh) was smug. The ad says "Magpakatotoo ka" means to be truthful and because he was "truthful" about his awful playing, he got to spend more time with the attractive teacher.

2:20 for those who cant speak Tagalog, she literally said "You three, let's meet once a week. You. We need to practice every day"

Brett moved his hand beautifully at 1:48 🥺🌸🥰

Honestly my guess is that they made the poor harpist put the harp on the wrong side so she wouldn’t be obscured by her instrument

Does a real bow break as easily though? I feel she didn't have to make any effort. If it's a fake bow it's a little less sacreligious I think

2:30 He played the worst so she said that he needs to practice with her every day. He won by loosing. The goal being to spend as much time one-on-one with the hot teacher as possible.

As a massage therapist I have to point out that the massage technique is as sacrilegious as a flat bridge. 13:59

3:04 I'm not a violinist, and yet that felt awful.

When you think this is the worst ad : - The next ad will be played ...

When she broke the bow, I was like *gasp!* *eyes watering*. And I'm a Pianist.

9:41 reminds me of kendall jenner's *MaEsTrO!* lmaoo

I have an idea for a video inspired by 10:10: A game in which the two of you bow and play on each other's arms and according to the fingering and bowing you guess the song that's being played.

You should stage those commercials, it would be hilarious.

13:34 when eddy noticed the 4 arms, best reaction

Can we acknowledge how strong she was for breaking the bow so easy?💀💀💀

5:54 As a percussionist, I have to laugh. Edit: Some arrangers do write for four-handed percussionists.

10:48 What they failed to catch though was the double bass player wasn't actually playing and was overdubbed by a sample library in a DAW. Lol

"you cringe you lose" Brett loses at 0:22 Eddy *awkwardly looks at the camera and grins "so much is happening"

2:40 that’s an actual ad that aired in italy It’s about anxiety if anybody wonders, which explains the bow-breaking. Still cringed though

13:17 city is istanbul /turkey

As someone from the Philippines, I would like to apologize to Bret and Eddy, to the music community, and to Ling Ling for these sacrilegious ads

I wasn't expecting we'll be seeing a Philippine ad as the first entry 😂

after she broke the bow and eddie flinched and turned away I couldn't help but notice the two thin clumps of hair sticking out form his head and I giggled

I've never been involved in filming commercials, but how hard can it possibly be to cast an attractive and photogenic person who actually plays an instrument?!

Just when they have no comment on the second ad, the bow cracks like a twig

Newbie violinist here but I understood the first two ads because I speak Tagalog and Italian. My language skills are better than my violin skills lol! Thanks for your global representation TwoSet!

just pointing out, the harp player is positioned that way strictly because of the camera. Her face needs to be visible to the audience, not to the conductor. That's the only reason. :)

At the end, Editor-San didn't even bother to beep over that one curse word Eddy said (P*ss). I guess he's cringing too hard at the commercials to care.

It's funny that TwoSet commenting on the fact that no-one had shoulder rests, I starting playing in year 4 but I didn't even learn what a shoulder rest was until like year 10 when I got given my uncle's old violin (which had come with one) and even since then the only time I use it is for slides and things where my left hand can't support the violin. (Oh I'm only in year 11 btw so it's not like I've been playing for like 10 years without knowing shoulder rests exist lol)

2:22 The lady actually told the other violin players to meet her once a week because they played better & told the guy with the green violin to spend more time with her everyday so that he could practice violin playing. The guy with the green violin purposely played badly so that he could spend more time with the lady😅. So the ad is actually saying that if you drink Sprite, you'll get smart ideas😂

i do like when you get out your violins and demonstrate how these commercials would actually sound.

"ikaw, magpapractice tayo araw araw!!" means "You, we'll practice everyday!" laughing hard on that line tho

For those who didn't understand the First Commercial (Which is in Filipino): The Beautiful Teacher said to the 3 Students "Good. You Three, Let's Meet Once a Week". Then afterwards, she said to the Student with the Green Violin "And You, we will PRACTICE Together Everday"

"There you go percussionists, you are basically diarrhea" Aww man, now my cousin will be heartbroken, she'll have to rethink her career

I choked on the water I was drinking when she broke the bow of that violinist......As a violinist that was painful😣

As a violinist, this video caused my physical pain 🫣😱😭😭😭

Have you noticed? 8 minutes ago uploaded and there is an english caption already..which means congrats to whoever was hired! 💕💕

I'm not even a musician, but I gasped in horror when the woman broke the bow.

I unironically like the one where she breaks the bow. Like, I could tell it was somekind of anxiety meds without knowing the language, I like the representation of anxiety as someone stalking you while playing scary music and the actress staring straight into his eyes and breaking his bow is both funny and provides a good idea of what the meds are supposed to do. I don’t know how well the product works (I have a distrust of anything that looks like essential oils) but I think the writing and delivery of the commercial is good overall even if the playing isn’t spot on.

"buy the A+ indirectly through chocolate!" every student: "I WILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK"

Eddy: "I think I have seen this before." Brett: "I don't remember it." Married couple ftw.

You know i jumped when i turn on the subtitle and it's already a proper english and not auto-generated. Thank you so much for adding a subtitle 🙏 Really helpful for someone who is not a native english speaker like me 😁❤

6:06 there's this ad that comes every day around meal time. It deals with the opposite of this issue depicted by ........ KETCHUP! In the end after taking the product man successfully plops a dollop of ketchup happily 😭😭😭😭😭😭

The breaking of the bow was cataclysmic, it's what brought me here. You guys reacted, but then went quickly to the next thing- I don't think it hurt you as much as you portrayed. Don't you care about your bow?

8:27 Eddy's face tho 😂

0:00: Vivaldi- Summer 7:23: Bocherini - Minuet 11:00: Beethoven - Ode to joy 13:00 & Outro: Mozart - Symphony 25 in G minor That's all i know, cause i'm not a musician. But cmt if you know any piece in this video.

I want two set to continue their criticisms of the ads bc I want the ad companies to hire musicians instead of fakers.

Greatest honor: No one: Not even the president: Twoset: TWOSET APPROVED!!

I'd seen the 12:32 ad for more than a hundred times and remembers the product its advertising but man it is pretty random now that I look at it-

That guy in the first (Sprite) commercial was so bad that the teacher decided to see him everyday. The 3 other guys who were "good" can only see her once a week.

Me at 0:15 : wait, i do I understand the language?? Also Me: ohh I'm Filipino, of course I can understand Tagalog 🙄. P.S I'm language hard😂

The Andy Lau one was a great ending 🤣 He's also making fun of the fact that he's been around and so famous in Hong Kong for so long, it seems like he can do anything.

twoset and a sacrilegious filipino soda commercial is a combination i never knew i'll see in my life LOL

Brett french accent when he says "merci" is better than the "merci" said in the ad. :)

07:38 Oh wait what?!!!! That one was a Taiwanese ad XDDDDDD

Commercial: Who says you need rain to own a TX umbrella? Him basically saying: Who says you need a violin to be a violinist

5:43 - Its all Sax & Violins - subtle!

*Petition for Twosetviolin to not forget to react to them reacting to them reacting to their FIRST VIDEO made this Nov 18*

8:36 As a drummer, that action was definitely how we play the drums.

The city from the second to last ad was Istanbul, a city where street musicians are so common, they could have found a competent violinist, like, every two streets to play for them or help the actress.

For the last ad: It IS a creative ad, you will certainly remember the product well. I'm quite proud of it, seeing it among the other ads. ~A Hongkonger

Thank you for this video, Brett and Eddy. Today is my birthday and this really completes my day❤️

3:12…Violas would🤷‍♀️

The first ad, the women singles out the dude with the green violin and says tells from to practise daily. 2:21 *Good. For you three, let's meet once a week.* *You **_(the green violin guy)_** we will practise everyday*
