  • MEMO: Att. Seekers (10-19) NYC, 2011

  • If morgan freeman called me a pedophile redneck rapist i'd still be moved

  • I find it ironic how a company that is actively preventing the Olympics from using any other card can preach about "coming together". Maybe Visa are the ones that need to put aside their differences with Mastercard...

    Anyone else thinking "Orwellian" when the 2012 Olympics say they are "proud to accept only Visa"? Does doublespeak mean anything to these people?

  • @Tommyksan It's called a sponsorship deal, and Visa has the exclusive rights to the Olympics because they are willing to pay more than Mastercard... Fuck, if I had enough money and sway I could get exclusive rights. Capitalism's a beautiful thing...

  • What is all this love for Morgan Freeman about? Dude has sex with his adopted granddaughter, haha.

  • Come together.... riiiight now... over me.

  • @darklinkx8 thats what she said

  • @darklinkx8 I thought the same thing when I saw this!

  • If God could talk, I would imagine that he sounds like Morgan Freeman.

  • Whats the song called

  • i absolutely love this ad campaign. it perfectly summarizes everything wonderful about the Olympics, and why i love them so much. <3

  • in my opinion the olympics are about the world coming together and put aside the troublesand differences and enjoying this world for what it was meant for

  • well technically yes But if you look at it from another point of view, the Olympics is about being glad for our fellow man won even though they are not from our country. They are putting their whole lives, and ambitions into that 1 moment of truth. In my opinion that is what the Olympics is about, being happy even if it is not a person from our country or someone we know directly, being proud of them and enjoying this moment of glory with them while they sing their national anthem.

  • no it doesnt you idiot

  • nice argument twit.

  • I'm pretty sure I could charge into impossible odds, like an epic battle or something right after watching this.

    I feel like kicking some alien ass with my fellow Earth-mates.

  • I love the Visa's campaigns for the Olympics, I love the spirit of the Olympics, when people from all over the world come together to compete in peace.

  • Does anyone know the name of the music? So beautiful!!

  • if i could have my life narrated... it would be by morgan freeman

  • @MMegaminx true that

  • @MMegaminx mine is narrated by me :D but if i had to choose i would choose either peter cullen or the late don lafontaine

  • @ccnea haha or david attenborough from all the animal showss

  • @MMegaminx if you took the time to see. you would've noticed that i'm a voice actor and narrator that's why i wrote this comment. but all you saw was an opportunity to show off and to insult someone.

  • @ccnea dude calm down. how was i showing off by saying i would have a certain person narrate me life? it's not like i'm going to calm them up and have them follow me around. god, relax. how would i even know you're a voice actor?

  • @MMegaminx no shit? hahahah i think everyone would!

  • these commercials just might be the best ever, as far as a series of them go.

  • Ahahaha. That inspirational speech then VISA the ONLY card accepted there!

  • it sounds so BEAUTIFUL

  • Aw, that's just Morgan Freeman. He could do a commercial on the most absurd thing such as chilly cheese dogs, or slim fast tablets, and the commercial would still sound epic.

  • i like his voice i wish i had it

  • how is he a sell out?!

  • You are a fucking sellout Fucking Limbo

  • Here come old flat top.

  • Best voice in the world!

  • what the hell is the song in the background?

  • Bring on Vancouver 2010 and London 2012!!!

  • "we don't always agree, but for a few shining weeks, we set it all aside we come together to stand and cheer and celebrate as one. We forget all the things that make us different and remember all the things that make us the same [GO WORLD]" not gonna lie, this brings tears to my eyes.
  • excuse me for being cynical

    but we dont

    china cheats in the omlypics...cheats in the starting ceremony.....think of fake fireworks ohh i swear they also beat up tibtens.....

    The olmpic games is one of biggiest insult to the impoverished people on this world.

    Before we spend 100s of billions of dollars on sparkling new stadiums why not help 1/6 of t he world that is still in poverty ?

    or do u prefer architectural monstrosities?

  • It's not about that. It's an honor to host an Olympic Games You're missing the point, just because there are impoverished people in the world doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate Life and Unity.

    I think the Opening ceremony was one of the most incredible shows Ive ever seen. China has an incredible GDP growth rate, good for them if they are being unselfish by spending a lot of money on the opening ceremonies and the Olympic Games.

    All power too them.

    Excuse my anti-cynicsm

  • Honor to whom?

    To the people living on the street?

    Funy how at least 10% of the chinese population are under the povertyline, and that is chinese statistics which are dubious at best. if we do take this ten percnt then about thirteen million live under the povertyline.

    This maybea stupid question but do you think the hearts of these thirteen million people fill with pride at the so called unity of the olmpic games or are they going to wonder about there next meal?

  • Like I said before, you're missing the entire point. It's an honor for the Host country. Just because we have people living in poverty doesn't mean we should stop celebrating life and unity among countries.

  • Excuse me I meant one hundred and thirty million people. Sorry

    The government has not right it to spend 100s of billions of dollars while ordinary people suffer from the lack of basic needs.

    When 130 mill people receive less than a dollar a day Should there government spends 100s of billions on the Olympic Games? To acquire an honour that has no correlation with those poor what so ever. I would think that those 130 million people would rather have no honour and a meal then honour with no meal

  • I agree, it sucks that we have impoverished people.

    I disagree that you do not want to have the Olympics just because there are impoverished people.

    That's like saying we should embrace the fact that life sucks instead of embracing the better parts of it.

  • We should still have the Olympics we should, just not spend 100s of billions on architectural monstrosities.

    Should we give the so called honour of the Olympics to a government that treats its people in an a disgraceful way, should we give a government the honour of the Olympic games when they send there military in to quell peaceful protests...killing thousands people. A government who actively suppresses free press and a government who blocks all sources of information accept for its own?

  • ahhhhhh this makes 130 million people, in china living off less than a dollar a day irrelevant? I never knew?

    Interesting if unrelated point, if china used 150 billion dollars, it could create a health care system for those 130 million that functioned without being biased.

    also curious though this may sound, but most people do think 130 million people are more important than having a multibillion dollar stadium.

  • If we always should think like that, then there should be no sport at all right? No cinemas, no museums, no nice parks, no nice buildings! Everything should just go to the poor right! =)

    Can I ask you, what are your hobby? And what do you like doing with your friends?

  • are you a 10 yearold?

    counting how may friends you have?

    one hundred billion dollars on a stadium that costs 25 dollars to get in isnt exactly promoting sport.

    Having a sports ground that allows every one to attend is, its also benifical to the health of everyone, including the poor.

    Look spending 100s of billions on the egg nest that only the elite can attend, is and always will be a disgrace to the impoverished people of china.

  • If you and your friends never went to cinema and never used your money on candy and soda and alkohol, you could have saved thousends of lifes. Is that not worth it?

  • the state is required to look after it people. there first and foremost obligatoion is to look after the needs of its people. when 130 million people are living under a dollar a day i do not think the state is looking after those people.

    I do not have the same resposibilities as the state. Money should be spent soo it is benifical to all people in that county. not only the elite, poor people pay taxas to you know.

  • you are the state, everyone is the state. You cant critizise when your doing nothing yourself retard

  • The state is a body that is representational of the entire country. I am a Individual.

    The state should not spend hundres of billions of dollars, while it only benifits a very small margin of the poplulation, this margin came be represented as under one percent.

    When 130 and thirty million people are in poverty, in china, the state cannot spend 100s of billions on stadiums that do not benfit them.

    Please despence with the vulgar language, we are not 12 years old.

  • Okey. Seen the movie "Sicko" from Micheal Moore? Download or buy it, but see the extra material, about Norway, we have by far the best healt system in the world. Thats how you should help your nation. Look at USA, if they used half of the money from military expences to the poor, there would be no poor people in USA. You should run more and talk less, you have Peter Snell to live up to:)

  • On a minor note, the sort of capabilities & industry required to build these stadiums acts a HUGE advertisement for the trade potential and industrial capacity of the nation, which could partially be accountable for the trade boom in China, bringing jobs to many destitute.

    More notably is the fact that the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest TOGETHER cost less than a billion US dollars. So by saying the Chinese government is wasting hundreds of billions you sound like a tool. Learn to google.

  • they did not spend hundreds of billions. get your facts right

  • this is so cool. the Olympics unite the whole world together

  • Too bad a war broke out the same day in summer 2008. Russia and Georgia

  • Visa nailed it here.... placing the value of the olympics before the value of their business. I love the theme 'Go World'... gives me chills :)

  • this was the highlight of 2008 no doubt and it leaves me touched and astounded, i hope it is remembered for years to come.

  • i love the olympics for the simple fact that when they are going on,everyone seems to get along and we can watch such amazing athletes strive for gold and sometimes struggle knowing that 6 billion of us will be there to pick that back up for a second attempt or pat them on the back for a well-done no matter what place they earn. People around the world should learn we all need to love each other, help each other. Because when one of struggle,all of us struggle. We are all people, we are one.

  • I love the Olympics for the same reason, I totally agree with you.

  • this is why i love the olympics!

  • I miss the beijing games already! This commericials gives me the chills HARDCORE LOL!

  • I have to agree, miss these games and commericals so much. I get goosebumps.

  • What song is this?

  • one again, just beautiful. i miss these games so much.

  • Me too. Best Olympics ever. I want to visit China so much now.

  • 2012 Chicago!!!...hopefully lol

  • oops, i meant 2016* lol

  • 2012 is London then 2016 Chicago! You got a while buddy ;)

  • this was my first real olympics. i watched it, and the standard is way up there. the olympics are truly something else.

  • it was my first time watching them also. i wasnt even planning on it actually. but im so glad i watched them, i was blown away! only 1383 days until london 2012!

  • Winter olympics are really exciting too. I highly recommend speed skating. Apollo Anton Ohno is just as exciting as Phelps and Bolt.

  • thats cool! i will make sure to watch them. the only problem is im in school so its a bit harder. anyways.. only 465 days until the winter olympics and 1361 until the summer olympics! woop woop!

  • Also make sure you watch the men's ice hockey tournament. The NHL takes a two-week break from their season so the best players in the world can play for their respective teams. So while during the NHL season, you might be playing against someone, but if they happen to be from the same country you could be playing with them against your NHL teammates in the Olympics.

  • by the way.. im just curious... where do you want the 2016 summer olympics? the candidate cities are Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo.

  • Rio would be sick I hope I'm rich by then so I can go haha.

  • i think madrid would be the best

  • Evrybody thinks that since Obama got elected, Chicago has a really good shot at being chosen for the 2016 Olympics so Im hopin Chicago gets it.

  • yeah thats what i have heard too. i sooo hope chicago gets it! everyone will be mad though thats for sure since everyone cares so much about politics when it comes to the candidate city.

  • Got hooked into watching the Olympics from Atlanta 96 to to Beijing 08 (had the privilege to watch the 08 games live)

    and ill keep watching them as long as possible

    because this event shows all of us how beautiful the human race can be when we come together as one.

  • true dat...every time i hear his voice it like someone speaking from the heavens lolz

  • why are my eyes watering while watching this?

  • what a great voice it makes you feel very inspired

  • thats just disrespectful

  • HOW DARE YOU DEFY THE WORD OF FREEMAN!!!

    and okay, this might be a little on the side of propaganda, but its amazing, and the idea is great. Yes lets contenue all the violence in favor of peace aye? This Commercial has nothing to do with Communism, and has everything to do with Morgan Freeman being awesome.

  • Wow, you sure are a jerk. If you don't like Morgan Freeman, DON'T WATCH THE COMMERCIALS. You don't have to go out of your way to insult people.

    I love these commercials and the messages that they give.

  • :O thats blasphomy you WHORE!!!!

    BURN THE WITCH.>BURN HIM!!!

  • The Visa Olympic commercials were awesome this year!

  • Easily the best commercials in these games -- great campaign, Visa.

  • watching these commercials always makes me want to cry..

  • That's terrible. But I don't know if it's worse that I actually snickered...

  • get cancer and die :), NO ONE messes with the awesomeness that is Morgan Freeman. NO ONE.

  • I love morgon freemans voice ! I cant wait to see him as nelson mandella ......................

  • these videos make me cry...they are so moving...

  • the world is amazing i love the olympics

  • Proud to be from africa, proud to be a nigerian...

  • morgan freeman was perfect for these commercials. his voice is nice

  • OMG! this music sounds a little like the music from edward sissorhands! XD im such a adork! lol

  • I have 155 shares of Visa...YAY! GO VISA

  • Morgan Freeman, theres just somthing about his voice thats so spine-chilling he has such a voice that will live on forever

  • HERE IS THE HUMAN ONE: watch?v=Bk7QbKGgsm8

    It is titled "AND WE ARE HUMAN - GO WORLD" in case you want to search for it. or just search "go world human" and its the first one

  • Tell me why I just sent an email to the Visa people about that ONE commercial! I AM HUMAN and I want to see that commercial that EVERYONE is looking for!!!! It's My Favorite!!!!!!!

  • Dear gd, for the love of the YouTube viewers please someone put that other commercial where they explain how we are all human. That is honestly the best "Go World" ad there is, it just give me a warm feeling inside and I really would like to watch it once more.

  • I don't think god is going to make a youtube video....sorry

  • very nice voice for it

  • morgan freeman seems to always be the actor/voice of the old uncle or long lost friend and guru. morgan freeman is my hero

  • The "we are human" one (which doesn't focus on any athlete) isn't here or anywhere. it's not even on VISA's website. it seems like other people want to see it....what gives?

  • I heard it on the radio

  • What's the music? It almost sounds like Jurrasic Park.

  • I love the entire 2008 Visa "go world" Olympic campaign, but I am baffled as to why I cannot find my favorite one. Similar to this one - it speaks of us rooting for anybody, not just Americans because they are human and we are human, etc etc. "...because when they succeed, we succeed." If anybody finds this commercial PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.

  • i tried to post it, but it was rejected. i wonder if that's happening to people who are trying to post it?

  • So if you tried to post it, does that mean you still have it? Is there any way to send it to me or try and post it again? Please? :)

  • the announcer has the coolest annoucing voice ever!!!!

  • That would be Morgan Freeman, FYI.

  • thx

  • The Olympics shows the challenge and struggle of mankind between good and evil.

  • I love these commercials. I just hope that one day most of the world will be like the olympics are every 2 years.

  • They are held every four years not two.

  • There's an "olympics" every 2. Summer and Winter alternate. In 2 more years there will be the Winter Olympics.

  • no, the summer olympic games are held every four years. the winter and summer switch off. every 2 years

  • these ads and the couragea ads by nike are the best.

  • Seriously, i've been looking for that one too, and it isn't ANYwhere!!! but it's pretty amazing... (i even teared up a little)

  • Yeah, out of all the commericals that they have on Visa's main site that one isn't one of them! I'm trying to get the name of that piece that was playin in the background of that commerical.

  • morgan freemann great man great talent...heard about your accident get well and God's speed

  • sounds like this one but i'll keep an eye out for another

  • One of these ads is missing. I know I saw one on NBC with Morgan Freeman that didn't feature an athlete. It was about how we could all celebrate the olympics and feel accomplishment merely because these incredible athletes are human and we're human too. Anyone know this ad?

  • me too! does anybody have it????

  • dude im looking for the same one, and i have no idea where it is

  • me too. anyone find it?

  • :" Because when they succeed...We succeed"

    that one right?

  • cool

  • morgan freeman kicks ass he is so unique

  • is it possible to hire morgan freeman to narrate my life?

  • anyone know the name of the background opera, God's voice made it sound cool.

  • Morgan Freeman's voice rivals Chuck Norris's beard

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!

  • it pwns Chuck's roundhouses, but is equal to his beard

  • God DIDN'T have a voice until MORGAN FREEMAN.
