Vodafone Spot: Mayfly

[lance1236451]

how come they die after 1 day?

[TheStiffler77]

Die Werbung war echt cool!

[theDedDucky]

seven people dont believe in enjoying their life.... or they just dont like vodafone...

[andlookmore]

THE TORIES HAVE JUST LET VODAFONE OFF WITH £6 BILLION IN TAXES!!!!

For more info check out Private Eye article "BRITAIN’S £6BN VODAFONE BILL"

This is tax evasion and corruption at the highest levels!!!!!!!

[nzjmhartley]

i reckon this is ONE of the best tv ads out there

[Paperbagman555]

briliant

[lowgitek]

one day... turn it perfect

[SirFancyBubbles]

We may see this advert hundreds of times, life will still be miserable...

[ImAllFact]

Haha it would be cool if mayflys actually did those things. But in reality they just mate, die, and decompose :(

[SycoDannnnn]

@ImAllFact Sounds like a pretty well spent time though.

[StarAll4life]

that was the only advert i always looked forward to! :D

[kvn8907]

Embrace life like I'm gonna die in a day?

In that case, I'm robbing some stores, raping some people, and then spending the rest of the day eating chocolate and candy!

"What a life that would be" indeed!

[Apocalypticca]

The best advert ever! Beautiful :)

[pauloduarteduarte]

grandes  ladroes vodafode

[LMiguelCRibeiro]

Deixa de ser estúpido... achas que se iam dar ao trabalho de fazer um anuncio optimizado para cada país? Isso tem termos de marketing poderia custar o posicionamento da marca!

[LevinaEnglish]

Best ad (and life lesson) EVER!

[princessfairyfunk]

[princessfairyfunk]

My favourite advert ever, I can never watch it without smiling!

[2310912354]

[Juanah92]

I love the voice of the guy that made the portuguese version. You guys should watch it.

[dontWTFme]

concordo plenamente! é bom ver que outro português também soube apreciar este reclame... andei 4 anos a perguntar a toda a gente se sabiam de quem era a música, e só descobri hoje!

[Juanah92]

E é incrível que seja de um rapper... :p

[mastermitchel]

Ehm... you can search on google: "download video youtube" there are website where you can paste the url and download the video to your pc, ipod, iphone or whatever :) I did it 9 months ago for this ad :)

[pixelsforpeace]

Does now feel like a good time?

My vision is to mobilize millions of people who care about life and through the Pixels for Peace initiative and my blog I will live out my dream, telling my story and documenting my experiences, helping to create a world shift towards love, peace and unity.

Now is a very good time, I believe. May we fly, like the mayfly!

In fun, love and peace,

[selenity2810]

Looooove this promo!!!

[LordHalo2]

lol, this ad ownz

[davaeron666]

An ad should never be labeled as great or good.

It is meant to make you like/buy things and so it is evil. Anything that try to mess up with your mind should be discarded.

[Andreyci0us]

could some1 post what the speaker says?

[Jules1982bcdpinpoint]

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 swoops,

He savors every moment.

Maybe there's a lesson in this for us "longer-living creatures."

Just think: If we embraced life like the mayfly,

What a life that would be

[Jules1982bcdpinpoint]

The common mayfly has a life expectancy of just one day.

[AnasBoi]

[felii89]

Embrace life!that would be wonderful if we did it every single day!

[radiantguy]

Stunning work

[ellieorion]

K-Os : The Love Song

[zymooo]

It's funny how life can go

First you ride high then you might lay low

Don't get high off your own supply

Some will set foots before a fall comes by

This is my message to the world

Just trying to reach every boy and girl

Not trying to say if it's right or wrong (you know what, yo)

This is just a love song

:X

[whitenerdychik1]

i love this ad! i think it sends a good message. the mayfly only have a day to live, we have about 70 years on average. we worry about so much, and they dont worry about anything, although they dont have long to live. i like the aussie version better, maybe thats because i'm used to it!

[hreim2]

Ooh i Love it when this ad comes on the before the movies. Its so beautiful on the big screen, and the sound it amazing. We have a different version here in Australia. Its longer, and the voice over is Aussie, and says stuff like "-but does he care? Nup! He says 'bugger it' and has the time of his life" Its cool. Btw, Can anyone help me find this intrumental version of this song? I know its called 'The Love Song' by K-Os, but its a rap... thanks xx

[andeutzu]

vodafone has found a very smart way to be close to the people. vodafone show us that they are very sensitive and the aprecieate life , for all life's reasons. And the absence of the comunication in our life's can make it very dark and without hope . U must enjoy every minute of your life ,cause u don't know wicht one can be the last . this video can be an advertise for every companie of phone's . (sorry for my bad english)

[Alohaman83]

...but it doesn't reduce my monthly telephone bills :-/

[gptmahendra]

nice addddd

[taiwi]

awesome

[naraayan]

Too many analyses of a simple well made artistic ad, don't dwell into what they wish to sell, we are not as stupid to buy a phone because of an ad alone. The ad is simply beautiful as a work of visual splendor on its own. Look at it as you would see a beautiful picture. And it ends there.

[robjdaledge]

i bought a vodafone phone because of this add

[hreim2]

I agree. They don't focus on yelling 'Buy buy buy!' at you, or try to trick you with stupid gimmicks... and this is why I am with vodafone <3

[Lycanooooo]

it makes me cry:D I love it!

[jacobrivera9]

ooo this makes me happy XD

[Creaform003]

why does this ad make me feel lonely?

[PurpleWitchAla]

A may fly lives 1 day... buy a phone:|

[pandaeyes42]

Fucken Vodaphone!

[AGniz]

Does anyone know the name of this music?

[hunaky]

K-OS - The love song

[I0Take0Drukqs0]

This advert encapsulates the evil of the media, in the fact that it sells and illusion of freedom under blatant pretenses of exploitation of your mind. This advert is a slap to the face to everyone who has ever watched it. Though most people are too stupid to know when they're being mocked.

[umangu]

I don't know. I think the ad encourgaes you to change your life for the better. You don't need Vodafone to do that!

[I0Take0Drukqs0]

A may fly has a very mundane short life in which it reproduces or gets eaten. so vodafone suggesting we live life like the may fly is pretty much like saying, shut and and buy, you life is worthless and has no real meaning, we SELL you the meaning, your life is worthless without products, don't think about your self just buy.

[Matveyich]

very nice

i like it

[1982ReBeL]

it's very good advertising :D

[HolyBomb]

VIRAL MARKETING!

i hate it when corporations use youtube to advertise their products..

[LadyMargret]

So beautiful!!!

[kiwikid74]

This ad has screened all around the world.. different countries, different voice over guy. First screened in the UK and New Zealand over a year ago.

[umangu]

Also in India. But they made it a more sombre voice over, with no music, just jungle sounds.

[kajdlfkdjf]

yeh can someone put the australian one on IT ROX SOX haha

[damien1989ster]

any got the Irish voice-over version?

inspirational video! pretty cool

[deldog92]

can someone put on the aussie version and label it correctly??

this pommy one is driving me mad!!!

PLEASE

[drizella]

agreed, aussie voiceover is way better

[abaci13]
