"SciFi" Mormon Ad

[ethenearth]

and the good thing about it i'm a Mormon!!!

[Lydni]

"The princess is sleeping!!"

*British Accent*

"Oh...we're sorry.

Priceless.

[drob0057]

lol i love it

[13SuperKings]

good mormons

[horngirl09]

The only thing I don't like about these ads is the fact that the mom never gets to join in on the games. Is she too busy being a housewife to be a mom?

[MegaIndecisive]

@horngirl09

I'd take it as a complement. I think in general, moms do a better job at being moms. They don't need as much reminders to do things with their children. Fathers, on the other hand, need more reminders. I know that my father pretty much ignored me and could've used a reminder or 3. I've also seen many of my friends' husbands who are self-serving and don't think much of others, wanting "their" time.

[RayeOfSunshine93]

@horngirl09 It's asking the working dads to spend time with their kids. It showing a typical saturday afternoon setting, and what better use of free time than to spend it with the kids? It's not supposed to be detracting from the mom, it supposed to be highlighting that busy dads can spend time with their kids too. The mom is just always the one who walks in on their imagination, to show the audience that it's their imagination.

[steveprib]

@horngirl09 yep, and she can touch down on the moon when she has brought supplies (sandwiches) :-p

[moymoyguwapo]

Hahahaha this is cute. I wanna spend more time with my daughter soon:) i love this ads. :)

[YoungSHolmesfan]

I'm LDS and I've seen my mom's side of the family who aren't LDS and how they are towards each other. They are mean and rude to each other! They don't support each other. Just wish they could see this cuz no matter what religion you are, family is SO important! Even if you don't like what your family member does, you should still love and support them. I love these ads!

[My274OTARA]

yaaaaay ! The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (: my church ! lol

[Mrcragunator]

@nhfoos They arnt saying you have to be mormon to play with your child, they're telling you to do it more often.

[rickrusselljr]

these are fun. I like the new(ish) scientology ads too they're showing on TV

[JellybeanInc]

Even though I'm not religious, I like the overall message this add (and all the other ones) sends to people.

[gerafon14]

Brilliant! Thanks.



[MrBadfish2]

Don't understand what being Mormon has to do with spending time with your family. All people should do this... and all relgions do, not just mormons

[PaperbackWizard]

@MrBadfish2 That's the whole point of the ad; to encourage people to spend more time with their families. It's not a recruiting spot; it's just a reminder.

[wahoozaboo]

@MrBadfish2 You're right! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages everyone, regardless of religious affiliation, to spend more time with their families.

[anndicap]

@MrBadfish2 I think that's the point. This message isn't only directed at Mormons. Gordon B. Hinkley said "A nation will rise no higher than the strength of its families." I think that's the fundamental message here.

[MrAlexanderjimenez10]

anybody said that.... anybody said that the mormons spend more time with the childrens than the others.... they invite you to spend more time with the childrens... there is a diference.

[myhearthasahalo]

moms are kinda space aliens some times they are the best!!! luv you mom

[bohemoth1]

I find this very odd. The way I became of member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was via a commercial on the SiFi channel. In fact the commercial came on 3 times before I decided to call for the Book of Mormon. Some time thereafter, I met missionaries and they gave me the Book of Mormon and studied with me then I got baptised. That was in 2003. Here we are in 2011 and I am happy for making the right choice.

[DeathDude72]

I don't may not agree with religion itself, but I think everyone agrees with more time with the family.

[nhfoos]

I don't get it.....I'm an atheist and play with my children like this!

[MrAlexanderjimenez10]

welll for you??? and??

[wewightfamily]

@nhfoos That's great! The message isn't restricted to religious people. :)

[TheShalasweet]

Wow! Super-cute mom !

[1979tiffy]

Love the video!!!!

[HaHaYoureDead13]

Even as an agnostic atheist, I really like this commercial. A good, universal message.

[adnanjames]

K PEEPS WHATS THERE TO DISLIKE ABOUT THIS VID?

[Treddian]

I see so many people completely consumed by their jobs, bills, and buddies while their family atrophies. Beautifully delivered messages like this video are needed now more than ever.

[mollymu1]

@Treddian Yes and a big new problem is video games . Men esp think since they are in the home it is OK . But they are mentally somewhere else.

[VitaElle]

How fun! Even though I understood the message, it would be nice if the captions are actually working. thank you for putting alot of work in spreading the gospel!

[devchev78]

Haha that was awesome. I wonder if byu was involved in making this. Love the Volkswagen!

[acezeonpilot]

gotta give it to the Mormons to their dedication to family and Christ

[foreverkramm]

Oh my goodness! I want my brother JJ to see this, it reminds me of the fighter ships we built after watching Tron! I wish I could find that photo, I would post it!

[vhoch17]

translate to Spanish please

[Aumanaia]

Hahaha... That was such a cute way to share such an important message! Thanks for uploading all the wonderful videos that you do. May the Lord Bless and Watch over you, as well as whoever else may be reading this~

[eraserchewer]

?Families can live together forever, through heavenly fathers plan. I always want to be with my own family. And the lord has shown me how I can...The lord has shown me How I can" love that song!

[nightshadow73]

its so easy to get side tracked with work and ccomputers and such. I work two jobs and its easy for me to forget to spend time with my kids. I'm grateful for these reminders. 

[ThePoopChef]

nice

[admirallily]

Awesome. So what a daddy should be.

[Texas2Ohioandback]

I live in the Dallas Ft. Worth Texas area and a news station in Dallas does a segment called Family First which was inspired by the LDS family ad's and working with the LDS faith here, it's cool seeing the effect that it has, it's been around for a long time now. Plus one of the News Anchors is a Mormon in Plano Texas

[bjarnson]

Very creative ad. Quality time with your children will creative great memories for both parents and children.

[haggis53]

So cute!

[xoxEllenoxo]

hahaha i loove these!

[paolo27th]

What is this commercial trying to say? I have no idea.

[BuffManTheThird]

Go out of your way to spend time with your family and enjoy each other. It doesn't take much to make your kids' whole day ^_^

[bushbarnes]

Duh Be involved with your kids.

[HQTUD]

@paolo27th Family time is important :)

[georgeNconrad]

I remember seeing these on TV when I was a kid. I like the ones that end with the little girl saying "the Mormons!"

[matthewakisan]

great cgi, that's all i've got to say

[Whateverintheworld]

This video makes me want to get married in the Temple and have cute little children.

[ladyarndt]

LOL!!! This makes me happy!!!

[TirianCreed]

These are great and pure. No hidden messages.

[xayelyh]

wow they should keep making more of those everytime

[ladyozma]

This is my absolute favourite yet!!!!

[klintworthg]

Awesome!

[rememberseptember25]

Why doesn't the Church play this at the super bowl? They have the money and biggest audience in the world; They could really touch some hearts.

[THELDSLIFE]

What a delightful message!

[amberjane9]

That's my garage! Except it isn't a garage, it's a carriage house, and it's at the far end of the yard and not connected to the house at all. So this is really weird to watch. Also, I think the reason they used a VW Bug is because that's the only car they could fit through the door...

[THELDSLIFE]

@amberjane9 - LOL COOL! hahaha!

[Antoniwe]

Good luck! Hahaa

[xserpentx]

Beautiful :)

[Keiim]

that is the cutest commercial

[PsychoticSpasm]

Aw, that was so cute!

[RainbowTrigger]

Family, isn't it about... TIME?

[quangthang10d4]

Yes !

[coffsalfreds]

Real cute!!

[ukrmaverick]

great ads!

[bayman15]

In today's society, people don't make time for their fmailys. They r always on the go. I f people everyday made time to spend with their families, they would be more happy, and their life would be more full. I believe that this is a crucial part of happiness in life.

[MesiabLabs]

Fantastic, only if more people had these values!! Promote good morals and the world has hope ;)

[diegozzz2010]

hahahaha so sweet!

[zphatkid]

so funny...i love it

[ShaNaNayKeyLolo]

Wow I never seen this ad. Love it :)

[pineapplelesson]

Hahaha! This is great! I haven't seen it yet!!!

[harreaza]

Absolutely Awsome! Keep it up!

[stinkomalinko]

I absolutely love our church. And to think, these commercials come from our tithing and fast offerings! Wow!

[FastestFalcon]

Nice! :)

[rymusic04]

THese Homefront Commercials are so coool!!! I am amazed!

[memoriaomegadestiny]

That was probably the coolest church ad I have EVER seen (and not as cheesy as the old 70's and 80's commercials!).

[buzzcut1234]

man that was awesome lol

[mvedomske]

What a great video! Fun and poignant and touches the heart!

[vanderley3]

Wow times have changed... by far one of the unconventional Church produced commercials I've ever seen. Interesting to say the least.

[ArmyCBTENGR]

ya, the church has done a lot more since i was a kid not to long ago;

i wish i had these commercials growing up, funner to watch

[Yunginspirit]

vanderley:

We have a lot of cool, talented LDS in all facets of the movie industry, in case you didn't know.

Blessings.

[OtterLDS]

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I dont think she needs to be older—shes probably 30 or so, which is fine for having a kid that age—but a little less supermodel would be nice.

[bjarnson]

Super message about the importance of families and the importance of fathers spending time with their children. President McKay said: "No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

[Danf91ex]

what does this have to do with anything? why does being mormon automatically make you a more attentive and invested parent? Church has nothing to do with this.

[starsplash9]

You've got to understand that the LDS teachings are awesome but the people arn't perfect. You cannot judge a faith on the people- but their doctrine.

[jaromadair]

Maybe they just want to encourage people to spend more time with their children...

[corrupt200]

@jaromadair they have very strong family values

[OtterLDS]

Actually, it has a lot to do with this, but its certainly not automatic. The Churchs teachings on being an attentive and invested parent will lead a person to be one—*if* the parent chooses to take those teachings to heart.

[SpartanK380]

They should broadcast these adds overseas too!

[acv2s]

Don't they?

Well, maybe through satellite TV....

8-)

[gijis02]

w00t! Awesome!

[AnDream109]

I love mormon ads! they're so good. :)

[darthspeaks]

This church is the best one out there - seriously.

[curbsidehighrocks]

As a member and a big fan of SciFi, for me, this is an awesome ad! And it still has a good message.

[stellaluna4u2]

I'm not a mormon and never plan on converting, but I love this ad!!!! Great message for all families

[acv2s]

never say never...

hehe

8-)

[zaphster11]

@stellaluna4u2 Listen to the Missionaries & pray about what they will say to you if it is true before you say "I'm not a mormon and never plan on converting"

[beltop5]

love these!! cept, there are mothers who play with their kids like this too, not just fathers! :-)

[glacierslug]

There sure are -- probably a lot more mothers spend time with kids than fathers...

and THAT is precisely why these ads probably show fathers! They are trying to encourage fathers to spend time with their children as well...

[plasticbarf]

yeah, mother's need loving too

[OtterLDS]

Sure there are, and I think thats exactly the point: we dads need to get into it, too! :-)

[lbmixpro]

Why the letterboxes?

[StrengthofaGrizzly]

Why not? They give the beginning of the video a theatrical feel, separating it from the "back to reality" ending. I like it!

[annxdon]

Love these Mormon Ads, So orignal and family oriented. Thanks

[revgothlove]

another great ad... not a mormon myself, but i always enjoy your ads... such good messages.

[berthasuranto]

awesome.....cool, I really like all the mormon ads. thanks

[andramori]

yay. i love mormon ads :D

[ingenious138]

ha ha ha ha. Dude, that was a totally unexpected ad :D

[koreankuno]

LOVE IT TOO! LOVE IT TOO! Ya make more please! at least, for us who are living outside the US can also view these wonderful ads through youtube! Thanks!

[ecrusouth]

High Quality! Awesome!

[sweetal72]

thank you so much, I loved it! The message is truly needed.

[ahfclass]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Make more, please!

[xavisavvy]

I really enjoyed this video, a great laugh mixed with a wonderful message.

[mryantaylor]

Awesome!

[ramasuno]

Just kool!!

[darkendpool]

Thanks for that, i thought it was really cool and makes a great point

[donkeyboy81]

This an Awesome AD!

[jonmahoney04]

This is so sweet. Thanks! These productions are amazing.

[ThatSnazzyiPhoneGuy]

This really sounds a great message. Thank you so much. Family is the most important thing there is.

[3l64up0]

This is really cool production! Great message.

[OtterLDS]

Nice. :-)

[MormonsLoveFamilies]

Mormons love families

[tmtg777]

Way cool

[abrown2986]

Sweet

[Emmadelys]

One of the best adds ever, thanks!

[freedombolt]

Good message.

[omiolo]

This is one of the things I love about Mormons. The dedication to families and all things good!

[zamriash]

@omiolo yeah dedication to many families with different wives.

[Azeilarose]

@zamriash Sweetie, mormons aren't polygamous.

[thegranitebison]

@zamriash thats not the mainstream church. its off branching sects.

[missrockelle]

@zamriash We actually don't believe in polygamy. We honor the law of the land, and we believe in eternal families with one husband and one wife that last even after we die. I'm sorry you were misinformed, but now you know. :]

[13evertomorrow]

@omiolo it's the best thing in the world, family. We just have to spend time with them to find out :)

[Marysville14]

Thanks for the reminder about time with family. It's what really matters.
