Flat Eric

Flat Eric

I remember Flat Eric from the famous Levi commercials back in 1999.

Many years later I just have to pay a tribute to Flat Eric and his friend Angel. They just hang around being cool on the tunes from Mr. Oizo. It’s the perfect world.

Flat Eric was a superstar back in 1999 when the commercials aired. Being interviewed in TV Shows and magazines as a puppet sure isn't common. A very successful marketing campaign is the least you can say.

The Levi site still lists these commercials in their archive but you can no longer download them, a shame.

For your viewing pleasure, 11 commercials. A big chunk of nostalgia.

Respect to Mr. Oizo and his Flat Beat. Still playing that beat from time to time.
And why the hell not - one extra video won't kill you - here is the music video.

  1. I recently discovered my mother trashcanned my Flat Eric. After having the buddy hanging around in my room for 7 years … I truly was upset.

    A note to you all, never leave your Flat Eric unguarded.

  11. Hello, where can i find in France or somewhere else if it exists a small object as a Door-key FE (kind of this small advertisement object ?) for an admirer of him.

  12. I am mistaken, not a Door-key but a key holder or something similar !
    thanks
