The common mayfly has a life expectancy of just one day. But is he miserable about it? Not one bit. He fills his day with the things he loves. He soars, he sweeps, he savours every moment.
Maybe there is a lesson in this for us longer living creatures. Just think, if we embrace life like the mayfly, what a life that would be!
@keac241 they were Anamorphicising the mayflies, anyway it is implied that the may flies do breed withing that day, hence the whole girlfriend thing in the latter part of the ad.
@keac241 You retard ! This ain't no bio-documentary on Mayflies and their life cycle...it is about making the most of each day in your life, and not cribbing about Mayflies or life in general, something that dumbasses like you fail to understand due to your cognitive limitations. So STFU !
I love this ad!!! However, having spent my childhood picking mayflys on the lake for the local fisherman I know that they actually survive for 3 days!!
One of the reasons I'm into filmmaking/tv commercials now, was after first seeing this spot in the cinema :) I loved this commercial better then the feature film that came after it.
At first I was laughing when I saw how the mayfly teases the toad. But moments later I reflect the text and what kind of message is behind this. It almost bring tears on my eyes! It´s profound.......
hey yes it is really longer than the german ad! but the voice is much better in german. maybe i think so it is because of I'm used to hear the german voice :) but it doesn't matter if german or english... beautiful ad!!!!!
ahah, nice

I wonder if a day feels the same to a mayfly. I think time doesn't exist. I wonder if a day to the mayfly feels like a century.

Great ad!
it's so true, we should really enjoy life more.
why saving for later, maybe you'll be gone tomorrow.
the german spot is a half minute shorter than the englisch one, unfortunately.
But nevertheless, i like the german commentater better.
the voice fits better the meaning.
it's more mystic I'd say^^
