In An Absolut World, Currency will be replaced with acts of kindness

[1butterflyflying]

clever marketing...



[Ejwoods08]

In an Absolut World, Currency will be replaced with acts of kindness... but until then, you'll pay for your Absolut in currency.

[ghostrider1718]

who can possibly dislike this ?? o_O

[anandodasgupta]

very nice, hope we can reach somewhere even minutely close to this but in a perfect world animal slaughter wouldn't be so rampant either.

[100marklow]

I wanna that world.. thumbs up if u are agree

[DyingElement]

how can you dislike this...

[Mtdeadhead312]

i want to know what those asian chicks did for that old man... he had a pretty big smile!!!

[Toocrazyforthisworld]

What would you have to give to get a house?

[TheArtloving]

nice world ;-)

[parasitebeast]

How about start creating the absolute world by the company's giving out Vodka in exchanging of kisses?

[anandodasgupta]

@parasitebeast yes...agreed

[raultamassia]

is that supposed to be Brazil at 0:43?

[nuttingbounce]

how would this work ?

[udimoney]

403 people need more hugs... XD

[RHeckman00]

I'm sure it would be a peaceful world.....But if I work 40 hours a week and my boss tries paying me with hugs, I'm punching him in the nose......

[atlien276]

this would be an awesome world.... too bad nothing may never get done :(

[MsColdCanada]

If people are drunk on vodka... they don't act like that unfortunately. I'm pretty sure you can't solve the world's problems with vodka. It's been tried before. It failed miserably.

[Damienf77]

Ohhh I see, acts of kindness like selling alcohol... which kills 75,000 people a year, makes you throw up and act stupid and violent?

[ViktoriaILiana]

hey guys which song is the one in the ad???

[MauriEladion]

If the world is like this, we will all be screwed.

[catsmith9393]

0:39 and yet people still kill animals for their fur :]

[miroslavsafin]

This is indeed a great commercial.

[mycatisromeo]

I tried to checkout at the Grocery store with my bottle of Absolut by hugging the cashier and they had me arrested. This ad is FALSE advertising! LOL!

[miroslavsafin]

@mycatisromeo hahahaha

[rossiejazz]

@mycatisromeo

In such case you'd show them the video:)

[rossiejazz]

SHow them the video first:) 

[Jokata6]

Does this mean that I can get a bottle of Absolut vodka for a hug?

[longfootbuddy]

seems that in this world, things arent paid with by acts of kindness, but rather kisses..

[Floaffy]

Awesome.

[god5peed]

ceo's must get blowjobs!

[sebasghione]

Part of that commercial was film in Campana, Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I live.

[mikepyro713]

In a world like this...there'd be a LOT of AIDS lol.

401 people are fucking idiots.

[yodathedeathshadow]

instead of saying how good their vodka is, you just see how good the world is and how you should choose this vodka not for its taste but for how this brand bases itself on uniting the working class. Their basically saying "hey its vodka, it doesn't taste anything different from other vodkas but at least we which the world was a better place"

[Omthiest]

COMMUNISTS!!!!!!!!!!

[elevete]

IN AN IDEAL WORLD

[pcactusb]

vodkabsolutperu.weebly.com

[schasta09]

Absolut...the happy vodka :)

[James87beast]

The only difference would be that the rich would have lots of servents to give lots of affection to get more of something, it would just come down to who could give the most/best affection.

[Vathain]

@James87beast That's assuming that the rich would still have servants. If you got paid in hugs, why would you lug peoples shit around all day? Wouldn't you do something productive, or rather, do something you've always wanted to do, because you'd get the same pay for doing something hard? Then everyone would just do what they wanted to.

[indigoblue66]

In an absolute world where everyone is so loving to one another... there would be no need to numb your senses with a poison such as alcohol. Sweet commercial though :)

[Squeeonline]

ARK = acts of random kindness. One a day makes you feel so much better.

[JaddahRoberts]

hmmhmm total gelangweilt wer will mit mir schreiben hab auch bilder von mir

[sharondixonupful]

heyahey anyone want to play with me

[damienromanromanroma]

...SO I'm thinking those girls paid that Asian man 0:30 with sex? He seemed happy....

[tattaLaPiratta]

Absolutely stunning

[paxout]

El viaje a un paraíso.

[shotguncure]

if only i could get vodka by hugging someone.

[iamLizardJohnny]

@shotguncure A special kind of hug can get you a lot of things.

[100Honguitos]

cool :)

[rwarily123]

if only.

[DSteez]

These are more acts of affection than kindness.

[mastarich12]

man, if the world is like this...everyone will be healthly and live longer.

[kingofheart1215]

Love it~!!!

[MrJGuth]

If a kiss on the forehead is equivalent to bus fare, I would love to deliver Kate Beckinsale the $2M she gets for a film or buy a car from Eva Herzigova.

[iiicoolcats]

That could only happen if humans weren't humans.

[maialentxu]

Justo ahora con la gripe A cualquiera se atreve.... :)

[kodachromefilm]

Buy the world a coke? Nope. Absolute vodka. Kiss responsibly.

[amyykdee]

Mmm, I want some vodka sooo bad right now

[Purovallejo]

simplemente maravilloso!!!!!!!!

[StephenCotterell]

Life is the question LOVE is THE answer

[bminnemann]

bandeirinha do Brasil no busão!!!!aêêê

[girraud]

What's so foul are the comments on this thread that are against a world like this? Yeah, money started out as a good idea, but look at it now. People kill for it; wars are fought over it and power is made from it. Yeah, how dare people desire love and acts of kindness more than money in an Absolut world. Good job! I LOVED the ad.

[erisdoll]

thanks for loving it .... and getting it ....

every time a person says something bad about it, I feel awful .... *sigh* Thanks again.

[greedy4it]

The title is True...but the video is a cliche that leads to more ignorance of the Truth.

[thebloddyzorrow]

fuck this shit, life will suck if this shit happens....

[pemang]

thats why ull always remain a wanker

[f1baad]

Absolutely stupid.

Promoting alcohol and ...prostitution.

[SteveBrant55]

Absolutely Brilliant!

This video fulfills the vision of a world without money portrayed in Star Trek.

Watch the film Star Trek: First Contact to see what I mean. Capt. Picard says to a woman from the 21st Century "There is no money in the 24th Century. The need to acquire things has been replaced by a desire to improve ourselves as human beings." (something like that)

[grnlfe01]

Picard:The economics of the future are somewhat different, you see money doesn't exsist in the 24th century.

Lily No money, you don't get payed!

Picard: The aqusition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We seek to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.

[DJCRooK3D]

What is the song in this Ad?

[rvelarde23]

a kiss to build a dream on - louis armstrong

[DJCRooK3D]

Cheers mate!

[lothquendi]

This made me cry. It also made me want Vodka. Well done, Absolut.

[caruccio]

Imagine the Swine Flu in this world...

[lordbaver]

Yeah, the oh-so-dangerous swine flu that has killed 27 people already, when regular flu only kills 1400 people per day.

[sebastianvalle]

Yeah right!! Try paying your LIVER transplant with hugh & kisses (2)

[cgletras]

Its nice to see some change of behaviour like this... Im kind of tired of being forced to watch descriptions of worlds where everyone is arrogant, egoistic, selfoolish, imature and everything that is used to make an appeal to the youngesters...

Its nice to be able to see that there are people that dream about a world with better people on it...

[powergirl901]

I saw some of the filming here in Buenos Aires. Since I am homeless, I stole about three cups of the crew's coffee and also took cookies from their outdoor kitchen.

I built my dream using those items.

[Corocco1]

how were you able to write this if you are homeless? library computer?

[RossingtonMichael]

I hate being nice.

[lushno1]

Is this not just encouraging drunks to be even more  unnecessarily affectionate??

[StanleyDonwood]

Yes. And what's wrong with that? Wouldn't you love it if a drunk 19 year old girl suddenly decided to kiss you?

[galosurreal]

Imagine all people living in harmonyyyyyyy iiiiiiii............lol.....wo­nderful commercial, sweet!

[jesseballway]

Favorite Commercial

[thomcav]

Yeah right!! Try paying your LIVER transplant with hugh & kisses

[CrackNeko]

i just ignore the fact that it's a vodka commercial, and feel warm and fuzzy about the concept

now, whenever someone asks me for something, or i ask for something, i make sure to give or ask for a hug or smooch :3

[alefortin]

la publi esta excelente, pero odio que le hallan puesto la banderita de mierda de brasil a un colectivo argentino,, claro es mas vendedor lo carioca, imbéciles

[thomcav]

Parece pero NO ES!!

[galosurreal]

no tengo nada contra los argentinos, soy brasileño e espero un dia poner conocer buenos aires.

[scarakitty]

yeah i saw this video when i was stoned, and was delighted up until the very end when i realized it was for vodka and not, yknow, some global movement for random acts of kindness. still a great video though

[thekkl]

Kindness wont build cars or grow food.

[thekkl]

First off, we cant live without cars. In a modern world where most people eat food that was farmed hundreds of miles away almost everyone would starve without vehicles. As for kindness growing food; no, it doesn't.

[transitiondenial]

it's true

but it's a very nice thought

don't be completely pessemistic love

[thekkl]

Sorry, didn't mean to be pessimistic.

[1hackme1]

this would be great if it wasnt a commercial for vodka...

[xtinct2]

@1hackme1 so very true!

[bootsmonster22]

@1hackme1 .. i totally second that, the ending killed it :/

[h2o2aerobe]

@1hackme1

Hear, hear!

[KrfNYC2]

@1hackme1 Haha. But for real...absolute kindness...let's do that.

[rossiejazz]

@1hackme1

We could still go along and make the change!!!!!!

[ijustkeepitreal]

Communism

[MargaretCunz]

I like that. very nice hug or kiss.Smile!Margaret

[perfectvisionfilms]

I put a video up, about subliminal messages and played this song. On one of the subliminal messages I showed two girls having vodka drinks in their hands. After all that and about a month later I see this comercial... This is a jump into the blue, but I wonder if absolut vodka saw my video and got an idea. If so, I would feel honored.

[anonnemus]

nice

[pratsag]

lovely ad..

my friend has acted in this video at 0:29.

cheers rishi!!!

[swivelingchairguy]

eating food is a physical solution to the problem of hunger.

[twoworldsin1]

Dude, if that happened I wouldn't buy ANYTHING from guys. 'Cause...you know...I'm all man, know what I'm sayin'?

[WachInEinemTraum]

This is an awesome commercial. =]

BUT! My friend and I were talking about Fallout 3 and how the music rocks and then this came on and I'm like.. "This sounds familiar".. and then I was like.. "OMG THIS IS FROM FALLOUT 2!"

Good choice in music, I suppose, was the crux of that statement.

[Fatmanofwaffles]

song please =]

[marsCubed]

In my youth we used to call that Marxism, sad how humanity manages to mess even that up. There is hope though, lots of people know love, if only we had more of it to make it a little easier to keep keepin on.

[solomsolomol]

Dude , this channel rocks

just subbed

[mastarich12]

anyone know who sings this song? it's so delightful. =))

[kdgstore01]

Louis Armstrong ... He's awesome.

[thundertrunksno1]

Who else with a voice like that...the man himself " Loui Armstrong"" :)

[RoZyk007]

eh if the world will be that good... dream on xD

[KojachBaumherr]

sooooooo when everyones drunk we will stop using money and start hugging everyone?

[neologics]

it'd be nice, but then again how would know it's sincere?

[dmak646]

i love this song

[crimensomnium]

If kindness were the new currency then it would lose all meaning-the only true kindness is free.

[hippestgoldfish]

All I can think about in this video is Fallout 2

[crizzad]

mmmm vodka

[Pvtjamesryan2]

What a weird idea of reality

[TangomanX2008]

I guess it only makes sense once you drink enough vodka.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

lmao

Best comment I read all day. =D

[TangomanX2008]

hahah. thanks.

[halfblogdark]

Weird. The commercial itself/photography I think is incredible. Not sure how someone could say that sucks and I think it's one of the best i've ever seen. That being said, I saw it initially with the sound muted for most of it. With the song, it doesn't seem to work as well. Nothing wrong with Satchmo, but it seems out of sync with the pace and spirit of the editing and photography.

[idotechno]

i agree. they should have put some type of like ambient music or gregorian choir or something :/

[houid]

i agree... i first saw the video without the music...the music is nice, but i was hoping it could have been more dramatic. not melodramatic though... anyway... kudos to tbwa philippines!!!! :D

[Auriella1]

This is what Obama's dreams look like...now, who really thinks he's in touch with reality?

[emily9647]

ahahaha vodka!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shikimori23]

This is a really cute commercial =]

[sh8ton]

.... in a world where eveyone is drunk. Nice though

[shmuly770]

kindness??? self pleasure that what it is.

why does the girl have to let everyone kiss her?? is she a whore?

[OSCUNTPRODUCTIONS]

in that world A.A. would be very busy...

[sullywaste]

what a ridiculous idea for a commercial advertising alcohol. people who drink get drunk then they get angry,emotional and would want more than a hug or kiss on the head. In an absolute world we would be screwed. Heres payment for your med bills*hug. Sorry about killing you and your family in a collision*kiss. Let me pay for human life with complete bs like this commercial. I could see the good in the concept but not for selling this vodka.

[illmagnified]

GREAT COMMERCIAL!

[inertia182]

This is a good commercial. Nice choice of song.

[Fused9]

I don't drink, but I love this commercial.

[SIRVAPECHUGAS]

¡qué bonito anuuuuncio! utópico, pero hermoso.

Absolut Vodka, lo puedes combinar con una infinidad de cosas: Jugo, néctar, refresco, incluso café...

(cof, cof, cof me han contado...)

Y pues... referente al vídeo... y siiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!

que genial seria que todoooooooooooo se pagara con besos abrazos y amorssssssssssssss DESDE MEXICO

[024reredrum]

This is what the world would be like if drugs where legal.

[yellowbusguy]

All that kissing of strangers....nasty. We'd

all be dead from disease in no time.

[joeyrowe]

So can I buy the vodka in exchange for a hug?

[Remokari]

I hate how it's part of a corporation, attempting to make money. And, such thoughts of creativity would only come from the thought of money.

[TheFrankNWayneShow]

I bet STD's would run rampant in an ABSOLUT WORLD

[Styrecat]

oh it's a vodka commercial... whatever though, i think it is sweet. isn't it weird to see this a little? people have lost that connection with others - we're all in a digital world with phones, emails, etc. i sit on the bus and heaven forbid if any strangers talk or say, "good morning" or even sit beside you! hahaha, it is funny - i hope we regain our sense of communication, our sense of touch. :)

[loqutor]

Y'know, I agree with you. And I don't care if I get labeled a sap for it.

[lmr2d2]

i agree :D

[SleePeRzAwAkEn]

ya when the dollar collaspe we be doing this and more to get food

[21forwards]

get drunk and the world will be like this?

great!

[Reallikeu]

To ZMorpheus.., whats so deluded about being elite? Its seems to me we are in an unstable world.., and while we are to blame for most of the world's woes we're still standing strong as a power nation. I see a lot of love on T.V..., but thats the point, we see only what we wanna see. Thats why we complain cause we have the freedom to do that in this country.., and thats why we stay...

[migkillertwo]

this is anti-capitalist propaganda BS.

[queenofshabah]

Awesome...wow!!!  its the best ad i´ve seen in decades...., 2 thumbs up, Good Job!!!

[ibaHumor]

Can anyone tell me the song that they play in this video?

[lerkerofthenight]

A Kiss to Build a Dream on - Louis Armstrong

This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[BurnTheEvil]

hey did you liked this? well then you will most definetly like my channel with cool videos

[insanity54]

That would be a good world.

[ZMorpheus]

Grdeken: Exploitation of your mom is even more fun, just ask the brothers in africa :)

Anyways, the best in Position to make a Change in the world are the deluded elitists, controlling the media, educational system, law system, politics, etc.. If they were good at heart they would do the world a favor by for example: using the media to spread the message of love, instead fear. Shaping the educational and other systems to love.. so that everyone could get this. Awareness is the first step...

[stories2betold]

That's so true.... XP

[RIO1987RUSgosu]

Классная реклама, хоть и про водку))

[Grdeken]

I'm more of a fan of capitalism. Exploitation of resources is fun. Come on guys. ;-)

[atadavenport]

so witty ...it just might work though
