The bouncing ball ad.
Does any one else remember this ad? I think it came out around 2007 and it was advertising a printer. Or possibly a camera? Could it even have been an ad for bouncing balls? Fuck. I don't remember. But it was an awesome ad. I used to play it on You Tube just to hear the song.
This ad was great because first of all - bouncing fucking balls! All the way down that huge, steep street in San Francisco. It was like the creators had taken this one glorious idea from your childhood and made it happen. On an epic scale. And slowed it down so you could appreciate it. And enhanced the colour. And then you didn't even get into trouble at the end!
Second of all - great song. Gave act of chaotic madness an old-school, whimsy feel. You know to actually do it would create crazy havoc on the street from people with the running and falling and cars with the crashing. In this version of reality we just get disturbed frog bouncing along with the balls. To music! Gorgeous! Whimsy! (And the frog was probably fine, right?)

How could the ad be better? Well, I guess if I remember what the ad was advertising that would be a win.
Oh, it was for the Sony Bravia LCD TV. Well, there you go.
