Idiots abroad

Promoting the wisdom of getting good travel insurance, these two spots, Plant and Frog, deliver laughs at the expense of tourists making terrible decisions.

Created for the Argentinian online travel agent by Dhélet VMLY&R and directed by Andrés Sehinkman and Jonathan Barg through Planta Alta, both films offer glorious macro photography outlining the wonderful flora and fauna that can be enjoyed on one’s travels. 

Pretty plants however, can be deadly, such as the Ortiga Flama of Argentina, the tiny hairs of which deliver a deadly toxin that can cover the body in sores minutes after contact, causing excrutiating burning pain and an untimely death. 

Not the sort of foliage you want to introduce to your nether regions. 

Then there are cute lil froggies in the forest, you don’t want to get too friendly with them either. 

The tagline packs a punch with its bald, bold statement – ‘tourists are stupid’.
