Episode 4: The Palm® Pre™ Meets Canadian Athletes

[guachu13]

What is wikipedia?! xD

[Xero3g]

Awesome ad.

[scolirk]

PerpetualRadio is right. I enjoyed this ad.

[GTRFireMan]

Well I don't know about other people caring for this ad, at least the Palm Pre makes the old man interested lol. Anyway still nothing beats Nokia Ads, I think Nokia must have the best advertising team in this world, not even Apple can compete with the ads, but the web page info on a product Apple pretty much dominate it.

[sanjikitty]

I'm pretty ambiguous about the video - it neither amuses me particularly nor offends me. It's hard to tell what demographic it might be aiming at save young white office grunts.

"What's Wikipedia?" <-- I love it!

[perpetualradio]

It's a fun ad. Clearly it's meant to be funny. Rollerskating women covered in blood, and 90 year olds playing lawn bowling? Come on! Don't take the ad so seriously. Bell is only stating the obvious, which is that over 40% of Americans are obese, maybe from not being active enough? Who knows. It's a cell phone ad, love or hate Bell, and I'm not too crazy about Bell, you have to admit, their Palm Pre ad campaign has been pretty good.

[life2dre]

yeah i thought it was a good ad, lol didnt know there were so many harsh critics for advertising before. ay and i really dont care what he says about the us. its not that big of a deal, we make fun of canada all the time. all in good humor people. lighten up, youre making us look bad

[EmoRottie]

This commercial as a whole I think was just meant to be funny. I sure took it that way.

[fenrriho]

...no wonder Bell is just going bad.....

[cdnjay]

As a Canadian I feel embarrassed by this video. While there are fairly significant ideological differences between the U.S. and Canada (healthcare is a prime example) our cultural differences are relatively minor. Like most things Bell produces this is out of touch with the rest of Canada.

[Mereo110]

Come on man!!! Have a sense of humour! This is meant to be a funny ad! Cheer up!

[haguilar84]

When he meant neighbors to the south, he meant the US right? Cuz if some canuck was talking smack about Mexico, then it's on!!! LOL

[Yuusharo]

I don't know. I kinda like it ^_^.

And I'm from California.

[monkey28rb]

wow lame ad

[Gregz0r1]

As the comments here prove, this ad makes you FORGET about the Pre, and focus on the Canada v US fight, lol.

I know iPhone has nothing to do with this(well, it does, in a way), but Apple's iPhone ads are simple, and to the freakin' point, so that *everyone* just 'gets it'.

[kinofreakmaniak]

The Guy is a Nazi pig and gay

[bleversedge]

This is one LAME ad. It by no means make me want to purchase a PRE.

[tquizzle88]

quit whining.. this video was hilarious.. so what if someone makes fun of the US? if you're not a red neck or from the south.. then u shouldn't take this to heart. take a joke geez... and YES i am from the US.

[TheHelicopterGhost]

I agree with you I'm from the US and I thought this ad was great.

[gthing32]

Americans ARE super lazy. It will become evident the more you use that phone we put together.

[princearthas0]

Canadians live longer because our arteries aren't clogged with Mcdonalds burgers. It's like 300 only we aren't super jacked, Americans are just morbidly obese.

[MercenarySlick]

Canada's obesity rate is only slightly lower. You have just as many McDonald's per capita as we do.

You're just so brainwashed and so determined to feel better about the fact that your entire existence depends on the US, you delude yourself into thinking you're better.

That's why in commercials like this, completely unprovoked you people NEED to bash the US. Canada is a feckless, pathetic country with an all-encompassing inferiority complex.

[sxcg]

holy fuckin shit dude relax... not every body in Canada/US acts like the stupid fucks that reply on youtube videos, you make it sound so important. Seriously though your brain must be fucked to say something like that, u think we have nothing better to do than think we are better? Yes there are stupid haters here talking shit about your country, but Damn you take it too far to say something like that for all Canadians just no-sense...

[MercenarySlick]

Your media. Look at the CBC, or your Can-Con laws. US-bashing is the foundation of Canada's sense of pride, because in reality you have no culture of your own.

Canadians always, ALWAYS bring up the US and try to make Canada look better in just about any topic. It's not just in Youtube, it's in person, on TV, on radio etc...

This Pal Pre video made by Canadians, the VERY FIRST THING they said bashed the US and praised Canada. You people need constant reassurance just to have pride.

[lawsonclarke]

Not sure if this changes anything, but this video was made by Americans. Morbidly obese Americans.

[kickthebass]

You're depressed, aren't you mercenaryslick?

[MercenarySlick]

Nope. But I do find it funny that you Canadians are so unaccustomed to any sort of criticism that you automatically have to start thinking of excuses by which you can ignore things that take you out of your ignorant, narrow little Canadian comfort zone.

"How dare anyone simply point out the obvious flaws of our glorious Canada. He must be depressed, that's the only explanation i want to entertain because I'm a brainwashed Canadian who believes Canada is above criticism!"

[kickthebass]

No, not so much that I can't handle criticism.

It's more that anybody in a healthy state of mind wouldn't get so insulted over such a petty, stupid thing this.

Perhaps you should see a therapist.

[MercenarySlick]

Canada literally rewrites history in order to create pride, that's pretty serious. Canada has the most the most severe inferiority complex in the entire world.

Every single thing Canadians say when being patriotic is absurd and this is one of the major examples. Canadians are taught as if its fact that the Arrow was some fantastic plane that only got canceled because the US was jealous. Patently false, but it's what Canadians believe.

You're a nation of brainwashed, mental midgets.

[Xero3g]

All nations rewrite history.

[iMiiTH]

Creepy girl at the beginning.. :o

[cmorin4]

you guys need to shave your vajays. The amount of times i've seen some American making fun of Canadians you guys have a ball with it but the as soon as we say anything about you guys you bitch and moan. So STFU

[JesusWasAnAtheist]

pop of canada 32 million pop of US to the south 300,000 million so STFU! canada is R bitch! hahahaha

[fivetigermedia]

Since when did the U.S. population exceeded the global population?

[edrompa]

You think the worlds population is 300 million? 6.781 Billion to be correct(Wikipedia). Seriously we do take cracks and make jokes about Canada in the US but we don't do them so much on ads we put out here and yes there have been but normally it isn't a crack made on a cell phone commercial especially a cell phone designed by us inactive Americas. I think Palm should stop shipping devices to you for that statement since the creators are too inactive to ship anymore to you.

[pingskill]

you do realize this JesusWasAnAtheist guy said three hundred thousand million, right :)

[UfalDaeBohha]

Your a moron.

Please kill your self.

[scorpio209]

yeaaah your not the uk good luck with the fat jokes. oh and talk shit when your country actually invents something useful.

[albinocreampuff]

aren't active...HA YOU BEST BE JOKIN
