Norwegian ads

Commercials!! I love them!  
Not all of them, of course, but the clever ones, the ones who manage to make you laugh or feel something within their limited seconds. Oh, yes, and those that mark it's time to switch off the TV because the ad interrupting gives you more pleasure than the program you're watching! 
I consider it a form of art.  A very oriented art clearly but still.The template is so limited in time and often in budget and there are so many limitations in what is appropriate content that makes it a real challenge. So I have a lot of respect for the advertisers who manage to move me. 

I have no great input of norwegian ads as I consciously don't have a TV. NRK, that I watch online has no ads so until youtube started this annoying habit, I had had almost zero input.
But it's a great achievement to attract the attention within 3 or 5 sec before the skip is activated.
The three following ones are big winners! Not only managed this but made me watch them again and again!






But a post about norwegian ads would be incomplete if the absolute epic ad of DnB was not included! 



Aren't they awesome?


Mission completed! I was advised to include ads in my blog! So there you have it! :P :P 

This post will be updated as soon as I come across any other clip that passes the challenge of the 3sec. :D So work hard advertisers!! The fame being included in this blog will follow you through out your career as the biggest credit of all! :P :-)

Good job Maria! Now, let's increase the traffic on the blog with some incendiary remarks!
The second ad is so out of touch with reality, I mean... the girl is pregnant and the guy looks under 30 yet doesn't get terrified? That shit's not realistic.
And the third is disgusting, but just because it's from DNB, Det Norske Bastards. They've grown too much, like a cancer.
In any case I reject advertisement, in general, and specially in youtube. I don't want to be told, not even suggested, what I should use my money on. If I need something, I will find it. I'm a hard-line freethinker! Therefore I never but things that are forcefully shoved down my throat in an ad I cannot skip. Even if they sell something good. Punishment is king! :p
