Thanks. That's genius. Simple, understandable and effective.
hahaa
brilliant!
:)
Took me a while to get it. Very nice indeed =].
LOL, great spot! I´ve never seen it here in Germany, though, in spite of their cooperation with the German ministry of environment...
Greets, Jo
Really great ad, was totally off on what I thought it would be. Is the guy wearing a face mask..something about his face is off. Great ad anyways - would love to see more types of 'these' (no spoilers here) put around the world as an alternative to power plants...they look so much nicer as well then a gray cement power station.
Yawn.
i don't get it, what's it trying to show?
that was nice... had a feeling i knew what would happen, was wondering why no one noticed him
I'm affraid I don't get it. ???
Takes too long to get to the point, but pretty good.
Just got it... He is the WIND !!
The fact that nobody looked at him clued me in about halfway through, so I can brag about catching on before the end.
But that actor ... whew. What a face!
wth this was rly dumb.
totally predictable and useless.
For those who do not get it:
The man IS the wind... you know, he blows the skirts up, messes your hair... :)
clever, but it takes too long to present the message. It needs more cowbell.
Just posting a no spoiler comment so that it doesn't show a spoiler in the excerpt on the frontpage.

More cowbell ROTFLMAO!
The Dumbest thing I ever saw...Not funny at all.
Too long? Yawn? Maybe it's time for you to take that Ritalin... what an instant gratification people we can become.
Brilliant advert. Length was perfect. I'm sure the director(s) knew the audience would itch to know who is that character. And timing the scratch is just oh so important. Like a good tease. Gues s you don't like a good tease.
great, beautifull giant energy potential ad, but where did they find such a giant???
really cool
eh - I got it in the first ten seconds.
Nice idea though.
wow, what a bunch of idiots. This commercial was outstanding!
I guessed what he was when it got to the umbrella bit. It was pure brilliance. It amazes me how you people react to things.
"OH GOD! its more than 28seconds long and doesnt have shitty top 40 music playing with an anorexic airhead giggling out a line or two! heaven for bid!"
cripes.
This ad won an award at Cannes Lion Ad Festival. If you are into good ads, check the ones out here: http://www.canneslionslive.com/film/
Good Ad.
But no points for creativity.
The whole thing seems "inspired" from Forrest Gump opening scene. Even the music sounds so similar...
Took me three views to understand what it was all about! Then I thought it was pure genius! Great stuff!
Brilliant! Too bad others don't get it. But then that's the trouble with alternative fuel- too many people still don't get it.
guess it's the sailor in me, but i never really found the wind that annoying ti begin with. didn't like it.
i saw this a couple days ago and thought it was crap. then i saw it again today, yeah it is good.
Excellent advertising. Someone should be promoted for this.
great commercial like a little movie-i think the guy is a digital simulation - or not?
Yeah i guessed it when he messed up the woman's hair on the stairs.
I noticed that a lot of the people were passing "the wind" in this but didn't even notice. I got that much out of it at least.
I will make sure I am more concious of "passing the wind" now though, especially in public, by golly.
Just kidding. It was interesting to say the least and did prove a point..
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
For those who don't understand, the German in this commercial represents wind. The people he is bothering don't see him as a person, but as the wind.
Personification has been used and the wind (German man) is sad because it has been upsetting others.
Then he said he was given a purpose one day (given the card by the man on the bench) and that is to produce energy
When wind (German man) does well, we do well. When we can harness energy from the wind, it puts it to good use.
great commercial!
Was that Robby Kreiger who gave him the business card?
