Television commercial of Dutch cable tv provider Ziggo. At this moment, there are two different versions, each with a famous Dutch personality discribing his or her favorite tv night. In this one Leo Beenhakker (world famous football/soccer coatch) talks about his favorite night watching "a good war movie, some tennis, and Animal Planet. Great concept! Enjoy!
After complaining about bad television commercials, I thought it's only fair to show at least one commercial that does everything right. In my opinion at least.
The company is Allsecur, a Dutch car insurance company (yes, car insurance again, just like the link above) that I actually DID have my insurance with. This commercial aired in Holland a few weeks ago and I love it. It's a simple, clear yet creative concept. It builds anticipation and has an appropriate climax. This is what I meant with "staying true to the product or feeling you are trying to sell."
An example of a very good commercial and a bitter competitor wanting to do better. The Heineken beer commercial called "Walk In Fridge" and the Bavaria beer spoof on the same concept.
I honestly have to say I saw the Bavaria one first, which naturally makes no sense at all without knowing the Heineken original. Which is on it's own a bad thing, making a commercial that makes no sense...
A little background information, as the commercials are in Dutch. They're both housewarming parties where the male and female show their friends around the house.

The Bavaria spoof:
Judge for yourself :)
I would like to think that Joaquin Phoenix is just pulling one huge elaborate prank on us that extends way beyond his appearance on David Letterman. But it turns out he was only one part in a series of 3? This just can't be unplanned... I know I'm setting up a big "duh" here, but I just had to post them. It's so funny.
What The Fuck #1: Joaquin Phoenix
What The Fuck #2: Crispin Clover
What The Fuck #3: Andy Kaufman
This is so brilliant, Will Ferrell impersonating Harry Caray, a legendary sports commentator.
