Monster.com Commercial

[darkscope2]

this is without a doubt the most inspirational advertisement i have ever seen!

[katieincolorado]

I remember when I was like this, am so glad I can work for myself now! Monster can't cover that!

[JasonSilvestri]

Sure they can! You must first sell yourself though.

[Salmonero79]

I think you are right seba, i now think its Florida and Peru st. And where the bus passes by its Reconquista and Marcelo T de Alvear.

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

hi brother, yes peru and florida are the same street divided for Mayo Aveniu, where r you from?

[Salmonero79]

Buenos Aires Papurri.

[denforever]

i remember this song its coming to me, its chemical brothers - dream on, from one of their first CD records

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

im the guy of the commercial, and yes its argentina

[flamingmenudo]

Nice to see that hair models can rage against the machine. Too bad this ad is both serious and boring.

[0GrizzlyAdams0]

It looks like Lincoln Nebraska to me.

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

no, its argentina

[CreepyTomHanks]

I still think it's Nebraska.

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

no roddick its not nebraska i made it in argentina

[CreepyTomHanks]

Well then, bonus diaz from Nebraska.

[djhalpert]

Buenas dias?

[Salmonero79]

You're right cieguilla, it's the D line and i think that's Juramento station or José Hernandez maybe.

[Salmonero79]

It's very funny to see the intersection between Corrientes Ave. and Florida Street with the No Parking sign and the street signs like NY streets.

[omfg]

um.. ha?

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

No man ! this is not corrientes!!!! kisses

the actor

[SEBAPUNTOCOM]

this is not corrientes!!

[RogerVideo1]

It is definitely Buenos Aires (Argentina), no doubt about it, besides disguising signs is no big deal, either physical or CGI. Most shots taken at "Diagonal Norte" in the capital. As of other monster ads are made in other parts of that country. Looks like it is much cheaper there to produce.

[Boysetsfire757]

The song is called "Dream On" by The Chemical Brothers.

[nate252]

i want the song so bad and i cant find it!! some2 help me! whats the song and band name exactly?

[cieguilla]

It looks like Buenos Aires to me: the tube station could be Line D, the taxis, the bus (No 37 maybe?) - but it doesn't match the american style road signs.

[riles]

OMG! Love this song by the Chemical Brothers. As soon I watched this commercial, I rushed to my room, searched everywhere to find it, and pop it into my stereo. I forgot how awesome "Surrender" really is.

[rodrigotejas]

Anyone recognize the city where this was shot? With the exception of the Broadway and ?2st shot I believe this video was primarily made in Buenos Aires. If you look down the street before the bus passes through there is a white Ford Falcon parked on the corner. When's the last time you saw one of those casually parked in a city in the U.S.? The building shots are in the Puerto Madero area of the city next to the Hilton hotel. In fact, right next to and behind the hotel...

[rodrigotejas]

Also on the street shot before the bus notice the blue signs with the letter E on left and right sides. This stands for "Estacimento" or parking for english speakers. Definately my 2nd city of Buenos Aires...

[rodrigotejas]

Last observation. I was fooled at first by the Broadway and ?2st street sign. Its an overlay. Note the black and yellow car waiting for the pedestrians to walk through. This is a typical Buenos Aires taxi and also a Fiat which isn't sold in the U.S.

Nice overlay of the sign and signal...

[0GrizzlyAdams0]

Who cares... It's an awesome ad.

[flamingmenudo]

While I like the song, I think this spot and it's brothers are being too serious for their own good. Plus the "rebel" in this spot is more like a hair/watch model than a worker. That being said, I wish I was that man. Would I be that man and use their site, no, but damn I'd kill for his perfectly quaffed do.

[meps999]

awesome

[austinsiena]

And I'm supposed to do what when I watch this commercial? The buzz is that this is supposed to rival the 1999 superbowl ad from Monster, but I fail to see the comparison. "When I grow up" was funny, made me want to take action and was much less opaque than this arthouse film.

[0GrizzlyAdams0]

Ethereal.  Love it.

[Sunnygotlost]

I just saw this commercial a few seconds ago. The song together with the commercial is just so mesmerizing. o_o

Would you happen to know the name of that song? Hmm... sleep and dream on...? - w -

[timoneil5000]

"Dream On" by the Chemical Brothers, vocals by Jonathon Donahue of Mercury Rev, the last track off the Chems' 1999 album Surrender. Great track, great album.
