The story of Alan, told via this entertaining 4 minute commercial for Doritos and their Guitar Hero promo deal.Doritos does it again with this great epic 4 minute ad starring Alan. The advert titled Alan was done by ABBOTT MEAD VICKERS|BBDO that tells the story of this virtual nobody (Alan) from birth and takes us on a journey through his life who eventually lives his dream of being a rock star, while working in a supermarket he discovers Doritos and Guitar Hero will lead him to his dream.
