Just watch. This is all real. It took 606 takes to get it right. This is all done in one continuous shot. Amazing!!!

Thanks. It's hard to believe that trick photography wasn't involved. Rube Goldberg lives!

I'm pretty sure trick photography was involved!

Good stuff.

But is it better than:
"My bologna has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R / My bologna has a second name, it's M-A-Y-E-R / Oh I love to eat it everyday and if you'll ask me why I'll say / 'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A." -- Boy looks off camera and exclaims: "You laughed!"

Sorry, but that's a computer generated animation all day long.

Good commercial.

"Rapper's Delight" was a nice touch.

Unfortunately two minutes is a longer attention span than most Americans seem to have for commercials. We may never see it run as an ad in the U.S.

One of the best ads I've seen in terms of communicating the desired message in a clear and concise and emotive form involves some video of an aircraft carrier.

The only spoken words are:

"Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of all those who threaten them."

At this point, a jet fighter flies up toward the camera.

The word NAVY then covers the screen.

When I saw this title of this thread, I thought it might be in regard to the Miller cat fight commercial.
