This is literally the best commercial I have ever seen. This is creativity at its height, simply beautiful. Very well done whoever made this, very well done indeed.
TH-cam should make Ancient Comments unrepliable. A modern reply does nothing but profane an artifact from TH-cam's golden era. A time when not everyone had an account and even those who had one didn't feel compelled to mark their territory by commenting everywhere
I first saw this commercial 15 years ago and today remembered it again. It's lost none of its power. What a powerful accomplishment for these creators and for Mr W.
Brilliant! So well done! I saw this a few years ago and I'm happy I found it again! It's one of my favorite commercials of all time. Heck! It could easily pass as a fantastic super short film! Kudos!
This ad makes me proud to be in advertising, and that's no simple task. Love it every time I watch it: the casting, the musical score, the direction. It quite simply doesn't get any better than this.
I feel like a real idiot. I've seen this video a few times. On a whim I thought oh lemme watch that video again. This is the first watch through that I actually realized he was portraying the wind.
I know it may have been obvious to some, but I thought it very clever and well done. When you come to the concept of having to sell the idea of wind power, I think it works very well.
This is genius. I was wondering the whole way through, "why isn't everyone else extremely mad at him, like chasing him down and yelling?" but then it all made sense.
i just can't believe how funny and how moving this commercial is at the same time. "sure it get's lonely, but you get used to it" - such a sad part. There are lots of directors/producers/writers that could learn a lot from whoever made this in how to get viewers to care about the characters. They evoked the emotion in 2 minutes that some directors never accomplish through many feature films. Bravo. and take that plastic bottles.
Brilliant! I was just commenting about Wind the other day -" Last night a Wind came down and was trying to break my windows. I told him, -dude, chill, if you d came with Sun and were more relax I would let you in, but you came with rain, and clouds and cold temperature...boo u, you should really calm down if you wanna hang" >> and then my friend send me this video:) It is him after all :P
Such a creative one. Been seeing this often whenever I think of personification of air. When it's inside human life is born to be human, music instrument or gadgets, it bears life and carries life still by being humble with no lime light.
Carol Belle The exact piece isn't found in any of them, but it's likely a rearrangement of No.1 that the ad musician created. Either way you pointed him in the right direction :)
Jack Engn I forwarded this to 2 people telling them that I thought it was weird and funny but that I didn't get it as a commercial. It took me 3 viewings to finally get it! lol. I guess we're just too literal. :D
Theresa W You nailed it, my friend. I'm rational in my appraisals of things most of the time, so I have a feeling that the aforementioned idiosyncrasy helps some things go over my head -- or maybe I just stink at puzzles. Both of those options are certainly highly probable. :-) Have a nice day.
"You get used to it.......after a while.."
The delivery of that line got me
This is truly an amazing commercial. Brilliant concept. The marketing/design/communications teams who created this deserve an award.
It did get an award: a Clio and an award at Cannes, among others!
@@juliabyl2287 congrats to the team.
Now this is how you fucking advertise.
TheUnchainedMind I didn't see anyone fucking. Where's that video?
*****
Fucking advertise, not advertise fucking, big difference :D
***** in this context the word is an adjective, not a verb
TheUnchainedMind advertising wind?
TheUnchainedMind Yea man, this is pretty genius.
Creative, not off topic, and simply genius. Great commercial!

To the entire team -- creative, strat planners, production company and client who bought such magnificent work -- thank you. Absolutely brilliant.
so many years later i still need to come back to watch this. the story telling and concept is phenomenal
Same!
me too
I remember watching this video back in grade 4.
This is both hilarious and incredibly moving. I love it.
Did it make you tired?
10 years ago dammm
I assumed he was a ghost until that twist at the end.
Good to hear you love it Peter:)

lol crying in tik tok and modern advertising
The only thing more useless than wind is ads.
Ohoh look at me I'm profaning an Ancient Comment by replying to it now, I'm so cool
this. this is the accent I needed for this character and I don't know why.
yes, the casting is perfect.
I didn't know Robert Pattinson had a baby with The Great Khali
that really... blew me away. Sorry.
Oh no you're not 😶
Wind you get so clever?
Now whenever I feel a breeze I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder for this guy.
I feel like a real idiot. I've seen this video a few times. On a whim I thought oh lemme watch that video again. This is the first watch through that I actually realized he was portraying the wind.
We call that a Tomato Surprise.
seriously? 😮
😂
You just made my day you big goof :)
wtf. It's the entire backbone of the ad...
Yes you are an idiot
I've seen this video approximately 15323483262 times now. It never gets old.
How to turn a concept like wind into a lovable underdog.
Came here from Reddit - never seen this one before. That was lovely !
From humorous absurdity to unexpected brilliance. Well done!
So many people passed Wind, until finally someone saw his potential :-)
Personification is the best way for express yourself. I love this guy, who turns into two birds.
Brilliant abstract and very subtle!! Loved it!
Aw that was so cute. Poor Mr. Wind.
Without a doubt, this was the best Ad I've ever seen!!!
Absolutely brilliant. I´m doing research on viral vids and so far i´ve found a few awesome viral/commercial spots but this one is a true masterpiece.
This is one of the smartest commercials! Took me a while to figure it out!
amazing... touched my heart... so beautiful... makes u believe it... so much... perfect... one of the best ones i've seen...
I know it may have been obvious to some, but I thought it very clever and well done. When you come to the concept of having to sell the idea of wind power, I think it works very well.
these are the kinds of things that always tend to stay with me long after I watch them
Aww, Mr. W... we love you, buddy.
One of the most beautiful ads I've ever seen. So well done.
One of the absolutely best and heart-warming commercials ever made!
0:44 “Maybe I came on too strong? I don’t know. I really can’t say.” Mannnnn. Thi is some elite writing right here. 🖊️ 🔥 💨
He looks like Edward from Twilight
Joshalots
I get that too
Nathan Fisher
Me too.
2020 and still the best commercial ever created
Beautifully done. Simple and so clever.
I keep coming back to this.
The only thing missing from this video is blowing out birthday candles 😭 its not your birthday Mr.W!
Eu-zy! Who lights birthday candles outdoors?
Wyatt Nite Yeah, all birthday parties are held indoors.
George Woodward correct!
What a brilliant intellegence behind this commercial. Congs a thousand times. The wind man's performance is awesome as well.
i was so confused untill the end, then i was just like "Oh... AWESOME!"
Wow - what a stunning film! Thanks for posting.
Absolutely brilliant! So inspiring 😍
Still remains to be my favourite ad of all time.
th-cam.com/video/IxS1ZpKDWYs/w-d-xo.html
Holy crap. I didn't have a clue that he was portraying the wind until the very end. And now it makes sense that nobody bashed his face!
LOVED THIS. Brilliantly clever, well-written, produced very well also. Very much enjoyed it.
Biggest plot twist ever holy shit
It's SO FUNNY!!!
I love it when he throws the sand in the kids face
HAHAHA!
I love this so much!
And i love wind energy... :)
this is truly magnificent. absolutely brilliant writing.
Very creative commercial!
It hit me when he was throwing sand, he must be the wind ehehe.
This music sounds like one of Eric Satie's Gymnopedies! ^^
What a great ad - clever and effective at the same time.
"Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air Who's bending down to give me a rainbow...."
this is not a commercial this is an art... bravo...
Utter genius. Oh my god this is amazing.
I couldn’t agree more, it got me a bit choked up lol. I don’t know why, it’s just so moving and beautiful, perfect from beginning to end.
Oh my gosh this is brilliant! Really cleverly done! I also find it quite hilarious. :)
This is genius. I was wondering the whole way through, "why isn't everyone else extremely mad at him, like chasing him down and yelling?" but then it all made sense.
My favorite advertisement from now on 😀
At first, I was thinking "alright, where is this going?"
Cool concept. Love how the wind has an accent :P
That's freakin awesome!!! (coming from some-one living in Cape Town where the wind is currently being very annoying!)
I love good #commercials. This is so ahead of it's time. In so many ways. #MrW
Lol i caught on when he flipped the umbrella upward, cool commercial!
John Cleese and Andre the Giant had a kid
Best commercial ever, EVER made. I'm still in awe.
Science communication in action
amazing ad, very good creativity/writing, couldnt get till the end. 10pts
I just found this and now my life is changed for ever for watching to the end.
i just can't believe how funny and how moving this commercial is at the same time.

This is soooo intelligent! I love it.

Need to know who the actor is in this brilliant thing.
His name is Guillaume Delaunay, a French actor...pretty sure you guessed that part :)
Tim Hole Thank you.
@@2dotGo Wait, he's REAL? I thought he was a creepy CGI Humanoid Robot...,😱
That advertisement was art.
Extraordinary.
Simply. Beautiful.
wow... took me a second to actually get it. it was THAT deep. go wind. i'll be your friend.
Wind turbines RULE! This commercial just made me like them even more.
First I thought this advert was lame, but than I understood!
amazingly clever! i love him throwing sand in the little girls eyes... ridiculous.
Oh shit, I realized he represents the wind on a windy day....
Best thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Gives me such a different perspective. The wind is very much alive.
This is beautiful.
Such a creative one. Been seeing this often whenever I think of personification of air. When it's inside human life is born to be human, music instrument or gadgets, it bears life and carries life still by being humble with no lime light.
That is one scary french guy
You might enjoy him as the ogre in “Tale of Tales”.
Well, I download the video using youtube-dl anyway...
And yes, this is a great... great commercial! The best i've ever seen!
anyone know the name of the piano piece being played in the background?
Darude Sandstorm.
Paul Rogers ROGERS!
brian hello I think it sounds a lot like Satie's Gymnopedie. Not no. 1, which is the most famous one I think. But it could be a clip from no. 2 or 3.
Carol Belle The exact piece isn't found in any of them, but it's likely a rearrangement of No.1 that the ad musician created. Either way you pointed him in the right direction :)
brian hello An original piece
Great performance,best ad ever
Creative, not off topic, and simply genius. Great commercial!
Seriously! How can you not seeing this twist coming a mile off?!?!??!
I thought he was an autistic man. Never did I think he was The Wind until the end. 😀
Awesome, wish you had more of these, see all sorts of possibilities for them!!!! Just discovered.....
Robbie rotten
AWESOME commercial!!
Didnt know that the wind is french....hehehe!
Song name?
lin2k4 Darude-Sandstorm

My Science Teacher Showed Us This Video Lol

Our geographic teacher too.
Twisted__Mc gvjn .Noé
That was a great commercial and smart.
I earnestly don't understand. Would someone care to explain?
Wajdi Krit so this is a comercial for wind?
Just a TH-camr No, it is a commercial for wind energy.
Wajdi Krit Ah! Thank you, Wajdi Krit! I somehow overlooked that completely.
Jack Engn I forwarded this to 2 people telling them that I thought it was weird and funny but that I didn't get it as a commercial. It took me 3 viewings to finally get it! lol. I guess we're just too literal. :D

My dream when I was a child is make a house beside the sea with wind turbines and solar panels.
Like Hugh piggot.
Very beautiful.
I don't get it
Mr. Wind!
are you 9
Eli Young are you? do you understand facetiousness?
I don't think this was sarcasm mate
