Nature Valley Granola Bar Ad - Maria Bergman - Montana

[SonicZombiez]

My mom and I always had a good laugh at this commercial because we found it somewhat annoying and amusing because of how slow she's eating it.

[blahnikki1021]

what? NO CRUMBS?

[Discobob32]

I ate a Nature Valley Bar ontop of Machu Pichu, get on my level.

[NastyMaster]

idk if its just me but, but if i have like 2 packs of granola bars (4 total) it makes me feel really anxious and kinda woozy. anyone else feel the same? its like a tradeoff, they taste really good but it makes me feel anxious after :)

[65GreenMan]

How awesome !! That's my friend Nina Maria Bergman \m/ She so kicks ass !!

She's the singer for the band "Dead Rose Beauty"

[shamwow56]

she sure is chewing an awful lot

[cooljoey02]

watch?v=e0td6v4KRu4

:)

[TDKjim8]

Does anyone know why they name her as Maria instead of Nina? is there a point to this?

I'm doing a rhetorical analysis of this ad so any insight will help.

[ryogto]

Man I hate Nature Valley because of it's commercials. Zoom in on someone's face as they crunch away on a granola bar? get the fuck out.

[cenaistheworst]

if u eat one of these while watching this it tastes so good. try it.

[UnstableCore]

Lovin how those eyes avoid the camera.

[sweetheart101z]

there so good im eating one right now!

[kotodius]

maria "nina" bergman has a band called dead rose beauty and they are bad-ass

[aGWARfan]

I would rather watch her eat a banana.

What's the appeal of these NV bars? It's like eating a damn brick.

[freerunnerman888]

shes very HOT

[faybian9]

I Love Those Granola Bars Theres Delicious and Good !!!

[americanidol434]

i learned that nature valley granola bars are from 1973.

[MassihSediq]

Live Spark by Andrew Britton

[theemceemurdah]

roasted almost ftw! although they do get stuck in your teeth :(

[noonic23]

The Nature valley oats n honey is delicious. I'm eating one right now :)

[riding9]

no i looked for it thoe

[seekingthepeace]

this is one of my favorite commercials it makes me feel happy ....

[IamUberStein]

That's why Nature Valley uses focus groups. They attepmt to find what makes the average human brain release endophans or whatever it's called.

[riding9]

lol the english 1s the same video but difrent song

[GOREFANATIC27]

haha after watching this i cannot eat it without eating it like the girl in the commercial . not opening the lips not eating to fast not licking the lips ...just chewing.....in a sexy way HAHAH

[JohnQuePublic]

I'd eat it, for sure!

[mrpower328]

That music is hot. Sounds very groovy. Is this a real song or is it just for the commercial?

[brandonkirk]

Neil Boortz is right about her.

[JTMarlin8]

The girl is cute but this commercial doesn't really make sense. It certainly doesn't make me want to buy Nature Valley bars. FAIL.

[mrpower328]

I'll take a Nature Valley and the girl.

[OchipchipO]

she's pretty...but the way she chews for some reason really makes me want to just say "HURRY UP AND SWALLOW IT!!" XD she just keeps chewing and chewing...

[micksparkypants]

Don't you fret Zoe, I clicked the 'More Info' links and now know all I need to about Nina Bergman. Thanks

[AVALANCHEBAND]

the chick is cute no doubt,and nature valley makes a great snack but more of the background music is what i'm cravin'! google searched it so i could hear more but come up empty handed, any ideas anyone?

[junctionalfunkie]

She's really pretty. She was in the Gnarls Barkley video for "Gone Daddy Gone," too.

[sl1ker]

Whatever Dude,She is HOT.

[poser1X]

This was obviously posted by a fan....but they've played this commercial into the ground, IMHO. The model/singer is a person whom the vast majority of people have never heard of before; a C-list celebrity at best....but the commercial seems to take the approach that "naturally, everybody who's ANYBODY knows who MARIA BERGMAN is!". She must be the girlfriend of some top executive at General Mills....trying to get her enough creds to be hired as a Bond girl in the next JB movie or something. ;-)

[niftytricks]

Haha That is my back yard! ...and you don't have to 'hike' to get there. The road comes within 10 feet of where they shot that...

[rrmmt23]

hey! im from missoula mt myself. Exactly where is she at? i tried to figure out the mountain range but i cant put my finger on it.

[niftytricks]

Your looking off of Moose Ridge into the Lost Horse drainage. Lost Horse is about halfway between Hamilton and Darby.

[IxAmxAnxAint]

oh thanks ive been wondering too, im from missoula aswell

[Chuichupachichi]

I always liked this commercial, cuz that chick is pretty. Whoever she is?

[zoethebitch]

Guess I can delete all that "More Info" since nobody reads it.....

[Chuichupachichi]

Oh, Nina! Nice. OK, thanks.

But I still don't see what difference its going to make!

[RandallShoe]

LOL

[kimmu00]

i SWAER they say maria bergman in this commercial not nina bergman

[zoethebitch]

I think so too. If you look at her IMDB profile (link in the video description) she has used both names in different credits.

[kimmu00]

yeah haha the title of this is maria bergman,

haha nina is a nic name, i can't believe i didnt get that first. :S

[cride1]

Nina also goes by the name Maria. So the Nature Valley ad isn't wrong.

[sbauroth]

I'd hit it!

[SamTeichman926]

Anyone know how they maintained the fast moving background while slowing down the steadicam shot around her at 0:11 - 0:13. The camera stays tight on her profile but the background keeps whizzing by. Compositing?

[RandallShoe]

I too wondered if there was a special effect at play here, but as I watch it over and over(!) I believe that the moving background is just the natural paralactic perspective. since she is very close to the camera, it appears that the camera is barely moving around her while the mountains that are miles miles in the distance move at a much faster rate.

[evanryder]

this sucks and the chick is ugly me and my friend have such a better commercial. look up evanryder and watch all his videos. soon to be posted on his account the queens downfall 2 and Nature valley bar commercial. this one stinks

[kimmu00]

shes not ugly by any means shes gorgeous, she just doesnt look like herself there.

she looks hot as a rocker chick though

[RandallShoe]

Sorry, Hollister, you watch whatever it is that you find acceptable for you, but I could be transfixed watching this beautiful woman chew for a good while. That sexy, crooked, knowing and barely perceptible smile on her mouth is wonderful. I never thought a woman could chew in such a sexy manner! Thanks for the post Zoe, I've been wanting to see it since I first caught the ad on TV

[zoethebitch]

You're welcome. If you check the links in the description you'll see there is quite a difference between her persona in this commercial and her other activities (singer in a band in LA and professional model with a huge portfolio).

[thoroughbred9]

This is #1 on my most ANNOYING commercial!!!! Maria obviously has trout pout fake lips and uses them to chew her nature's valley granola bar in the most fake, annoying manner. I can't stand her!!!!

[HollisterSurf88]

this is the stupidest commercial ever...yeah lets watch an ugly hiking nature bitch eat a snack in montana...

[BPavsner]

Er, my Nature Valley is in Lost Horse Creek in Montana, too. What a WONDERFUL COINCIDENCE!

[zoethebitch]

I think the commercial was really filmed there (see the link to pictures in the description).

[kjl1963]

Man, who is this chick? she's hot!! I've been trying to search for info on her but no luck
