[RobertSeattle]

Or "Wash Your Hands... Even when people aren't watching".

[mogul982]

What camera did you shoot with? Was that the RED?

[ThePhysedteacher]

At least he has the good taste to drink a white wine in a yellow hazmat suit.

[welovepie100]

I'd like to see him on red carpet with bowie tie!

[harold55464]

I'd like to see how he drinks champagne in the suit. Doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is funny.

[rosemarie8398]

Don't you need a respirator in those suits? That guy must have good lungs!!!

Funny, though!

[bikemapcity]

yeah elevators are totally gross

[theTVpicture]

how about just staying home?????????????????????

[stuffedmonk]

Wow. This Video makes me feel better about my obsessive hand washing. I am not as crazy as some people.

[MrTigerplant]

funny!!!!!!!

[influable]

i love the guy in the hazmat suit

[bikemapcity]

me 2. i think i saw him on the street yesterday

[timtologist]

Nice balance of humor and message. Not preachy at all. Good job!

[tomfooleryinc]

Fun, lighthearted spot! Retro music is perfect and some great locales add to the humor.

[UncleBud19]

Thanks for watching, Top Cat.

[c2kmedical]

We at c.2k are indeed a healthcare-focused communications company, and we're pretty passionate about what we do. Sometimes our jobs are for big hospitals who want to get the word out about new life-saving treatments or therapies they pioneer; sometimes it's for small non-profits trying to raise money to bring medical care to people who have never seen a doctor before.

[c2kmedical]

And sometimes, like with this PSA, it's because we, like all the contestants, saw an opportunity to have fun, make people laugh and make a difference.  There are a lot of great PSA's in the competition, and I think together we've all helped raise the level of the awareness about public health as we head into the next flu season.

[ariadnezara]

My point was that you guys are known around the world and make commercials for clients like Mazda, Amgen, Microsoft etc. It's unfair for us college kids to compete against the "Lakers" . I'm glad you guys are raising awareness but you don't need the $2500 for your multimillion dollar company. How many people would have wasted their time and money making these PSAa if they knew a world renowned commercial production company was going to get into it. I wouldn't have bothered.

[ariadnezara]

Yeah I know they're a division. I looked them up and found out that the guy who made this, John Ealer is actually the head Director/

Cinematographer for c-2k. I don't care if they want to submit but they shouldn't be allowed to win money. They don't need it. It's like having the Lakers enter a college basketball tournament.

[liv8up2002]

Hey Zara...c2kmedical is a division of c2k entertainment and they do business all over the world with offices in Prague, Sydney, Hong Kong, Chicago, Vancouver and LA. You can look them up online. I totally feel your frustration but life is often unfair.

[ManonKimberly]

C'est absolument MAGNIFIQUE! humour, bon enfant, frais! et cela change des pub. catastrophique quand on parle de sujet grave ! Merci de ce moment de bon gout!

[ariadnezara]

Why does a national commercial production company who makes $5,000,000/yr need to enter a contest? You boast of clients such as Amgen, Microsoft, Canon, Mazda, etc. Are you guys so bored that you had your fulltime staff sit around and brain storm for a $2500 contest. It probably cost you that much to make it. Your commercial is good but how can we even compete when this is what you guys do for a living. You even have medical division to specialize in health related commercials.

[liv8up2002]

can you tell me how to get that music

[8balls936]

GOT SARS?????

[ayane0225]

Really funny video!

[PathwaysAwareness]

Nice work ~ Love the call to action.

[aaccckkk]

Laugh out loud funny!

So - where does one get his hands on one of those hot suits???

[gashwal]

eBay :)

[DonnaDanoff]

Clevahhh. Love the music, too. I know people who would do this if not for the fact that they're looking for a mate!

[EyeForaToothMovie]

Really good.

[eagle1933]

Excellent video and one that people will watch and it will command their attention as to the importance of washing your hands with soap and water or other hand sanitizer.

[laurelfelt]

Really funny. Love the slow reach for the hand at the cafe and the weirded out looks from the people at the urinal and treadmill. Way to grab my attention! I WILL wash my hands, it's so much simpler! ;-)

[yogabendsbackwards]

I really like this video, I laughed out loud a couple times!!!! Could've been longer, if anything. Think I know what I'm going to be for Halloween!

[crabbylady2]

Excellent

[harrymix]

Brilliant...good job John!

[johnealer]

Thanks, Harry!

[wwjd4041]

like it a lot

[johnealer]

Hitchcock angle?

[wwjd4041]

John Perhaps I am too oblique-- but Hitchcock always included a very very brief cameo of himself that many people never even got (or saw)

[johnealer]

Got it!

[annawiencrot]

As someone who works in public health, i have to say I love the simple and easy message! No need to freak out, just wash your hands!

[wwjd4041]

John and his team--- I think that this is great- in all respects - like the Hitchcock angle

[ayane0225]

excellent observation

[jmskene]

well done! excellent hilarious timing. :)

[us3dbooks]

Funny and well done.

[lukeleyh]

Wow!

[johnealer]

Just want to thank all the people who came out for a good cause and helped make the video possible. Glad y'all are enjoying it.

[kidscientist]

I saw that guy in downtown today. Seems like sweating alot.

[atavist18]

Funny stuff. Memorable. Makes you think.

[bryanamburgey]

funny.

[ayacolor]

I heard that Jimmy C approved this message...

[elliotleffler]

YES! Armed with this crucial knowledge, i'll never get the flu again. Amazing. Baruch hashem.

[switchbladeflag]

Pretty precise message for a spot with such broad humor. Clever how it uses the big yellow suit to defuse paranoia about the flu yet still direct viewer to take commonsense steps. Bet that suit was hot, though... Was that shot in LA?

[EMgenerate]

Hahahahahaha!!! I think I know that guy! This spot is AMAZING!!

[verenatubes]

single best flu video I've seen!

[onodapower]

This is great. Washing my hands or looking like a space alien... I will wash my hands!

[teresataylor628]

Bravo guys! Love it... very clever!

[ayacolor]

wait, is that the ghost behind the yellow suit guy???

[hareborne2]

this is a perfect bit of fun/info in a 30 second package.

[laurakaterock]

hilarious!

[ljcolker100]

That was delightful. Who knew the government had a sense of humor!

[haysoos123]

you mean you're supposed to wear a hazmat suit all the time. that's stupid. who's gonna do that?

[haysoos123]

it seems pretty clear that you have the guy wearing a hazmat suit. i mean if we're all supposed to wear hazmat suits all the time, i'm sure we would get flu, but seriously.

[haysoos123]

you mean you should wear a hazmat suit all the time? that's stupid. who's gonna do that?

[c2kmedical]

Hi. Thanks for your comment, but that is not the point of the video. We are actually saying the opposite. Maybe you should watch again.

[shogo123]

great. i love it. message is clear and tone manner is light and funny.

[JTCP]

HA. That was great.

[stephenfeder]

Well done - ironic that humor really can be the most effective way to communicate an important message. I bought hand sanitizer after I watched it!

[quiksil903]

You might as well get the hazmat suit. Maybe start by washing your hands and then, when someone makes a clever and effective PSA to use hand sanitizer, go out and buy that :)

[ATTKEDi]

very funny~ love it!

[cpchangutube]

Nice work. Funny and smart. And because that kind of stuff matters to me, way to pursue diversity in your casting. ;)

[kidscientist]

It's so funny!!

[katemgilbert]

Very upbeat and engaging! I like the music in the background - catches your attention.

[ayane0225]

very smart and funny.

[ericaweinstein]

Very clever!

[ttraeder]

This is great! Very funny and the message is very clear. I feel as though it may help to call out that hand washing is a way to avoid the flu - if the PSA is intended to relay a message about the flu specifically.

[gashwal]

That is a smart idea. Might be better to call that out.

[nagartner1]

Best PSA ever!

[ayacolor]

I'll wash my hands from now. Promise!
