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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Aye, a rebirth for you getting this job Mr W. You were made redundant when we stopped using sailing ships. A shame now you have this new job... it's a bloody waste of time and money. You see we can't rely on you, sometimes you are there for work, sometimes not. Also (this is not all your fault) the turbines we created for you are so inefficient that it's hardly worth you bothering. Big companies are given huge grants paid for by governments (average Joe foots the bill) just in case you decide to turn up for work. Meanwhile we must all look at these turbines destroying the view. Do me a favour Mr W and give your friend Mrs Sea shout, her tides would be better and more reliable, oh and blow the politicians into Mrs Sea when you go. Thanks.
i suspect that the actor suffers from 'Acromegaly' which is a rare glandular disorder that causes different degrees of deformity... Andre the giant had it
I feel smart. I don't have sound on this thing and I figured out it was about wind before I read the tags or saw the end of it. Of course, I also feel a tad stupid for not just thinking of checking the tags to see what the ad was about, but meh... Anyway this is pretty great!
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.
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

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.
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.
"You get used to it.......after a while.."
The delivery of that line got me
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.
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.
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've seen this video approximately 15323483262 times now. It never gets old.
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.
Oh, that's why no one gives a fuck about what he's doing. Thank you.
We call that a Tomato Surprise.
seriously? 😮
😂
You just made my day you big goof :)
wtf. It's the entire backbone of the ad...
I didn't know Robert Pattinson had a baby with The Great Khali
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!
Now whenever I feel a breeze I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder for this guy.
Came here from Reddit - never seen this one before. That was lovely !
How to turn a concept like wind into a lovable underdog.
that really... blew me away. Sorry.
Oh no you're not 😶
Wind you get so clever?
From humorous absurdity to unexpected brilliance. Well done!
So many people passed Wind, until finally someone saw his potential :-)
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.
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.
Personification is the best way for express yourself. I love this guy, who turns into two birds.
One of the absolutely best and heart-warming commercials ever made!
Aw that was so cute. Poor Mr. Wind.
Without a doubt, this was the best Ad I've ever seen!!!
One of the most beautiful ads I've ever seen. So well done.
Aww, Mr. W... we love you, buddy.
amazing... touched my heart... so beautiful... makes u believe it... so much... perfect... one of the best ones i've seen...
This is one of the smartest commercials! Took me a while to figure it out!
these are the kinds of things that always tend to stay with me long after I watch them
Brilliant abstract and very subtle!! Loved it!
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!
He looks like Edward from Twilight
Joshalots
I get that too
Nathan Fisher
Me too.
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!
Absolutely brilliant! So inspiring 😍
Still remains to be my favourite ad of all time.

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. 🖊️ 🔥 💨
Beautifully done. Simple and so clever.
Very creative commercial!
It hit me when he was throwing sand, he must be the wind ehehe.
LOVED THIS. Brilliantly clever, well-written, produced very well also. Very much enjoyed it.
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.
I just found this and now my life is changed for ever for watching to the end.
What a brilliant intellegence behind this commercial. Congs a thousand times. The wind man's performance is awesome as well.
this is truly magnificent. absolutely brilliant writing.
2020 and still the best commercial ever created
i was so confused untill the end, then i was just like "Oh... AWESOME!"
Best commercial ever, EVER made. I'm still in awe.
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 keep coming back to this.
I love good #commercials. This is so ahead of it's time. In so many ways. #MrW
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... :)
Biggest plot twist ever holy shit
That's freakin awesome!!! (coming from some-one living in Cape Town where the wind is currently being very annoying!)
At first, I was thinking "alright, where is this going?"
Cool concept. Love how the wind has an accent :P
Wow - what a stunning film! Thanks for posting.
This music sounds like one of Eric Satie's Gymnopedies! ^^
What a great ad - clever and effective at the same time.
First I thought this advert was lame, but than I understood!
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.
Science communication in action
amazing ad, very good creativity/writing, couldnt get till the end. 10pts
This is soooo intelligent! I love it.
Oh my gosh this is brilliant! Really cleverly done! I also find it quite hilarious. :)
Extraordinary.
this is not a commercial this is an art... bravo...
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...,😱
i just can't believe how funny and how moving this commercial is at the same time.

wow... took me a second to actually get it. it was THAT deep. go wind. i'll be your friend.
Honestly the best video on youtube, im dying laughing and i want to invest in wind power
Oh shit, I realized he represents the wind on a windy day....
i suspect that the actor suffers from 'Acromegaly' which is a rare glandular disorder that causes different degrees of deformity... Andre the giant had it
That is one scary french guy
You might enjoy him as the ogre in “Tale of Tales”.

In my opinion, this is one of the best ads ever created. Strange, funny, touching, and pertinent. Sheer perfection.

Robbie rotten
Awesome, wish you had more of these, see all sorts of possibilities for them!!!! Just discovered.....
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. 😀
Amazing, creative and highly original...good on them!
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
Best thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Gives me such a different perspective. The wind is very much alive.
My Science Teacher Showed Us This Video Lol
same
Our geographic teacher too.

That was great. Very well done commercial

when you're trying to clean out old stuff and you get all nostalgic... keep or toss? keep.
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.

the most original vi on youtube ive seen fr a long while..simply brilliant
My dream when I was a child is make a house beside the sea with wind turbines and solar panels.
Like Hugh piggot.

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
Simply. Beautiful.
All ingenious is simple ... as well as the clip - just brilliant ...
Lol i caught on when he flipped the umbrella upward, cool commercial!
haha that was awesome, great creative behind this ad!
