[ryanwheatley101]

Loved it!



[smaceira]

Awesome! :)

[moretorque]

[thelexndbri]

This is amazing.

Okay,Really Killing Trees? If you think about it the wood could've been re-used from other things for this,and also you can replant trees,so I don't care if you complain about the"killing trees" thing,but if you think about it with all that little blocks of wood they might have only used one tree. -_-

[BrokenBondsOfSanity]

this is definitely the most elaborate commercial I've ever seen.

[nieson0727]

Fantastic.

[punky777]

genius



[LumiLicious]

My balls play Mozart.

[bangingthedrum]

It's amazing how some people know so much about the reasons why other people make art. And what music and films other people listen to! If it's on TV or showing at the Multiplex, it must be good and it must art! Right? True art must survive the exploitation of commercial interests before it sees the light of day or your TV or movie screen. It's the difference between the Monkeys and the Beatles, and the Beatles and the Black R&B artists who created that great music called Rock and Roll.

TOUCH WOOD

[gymnast625]

that. was. AMAZING.

[Larrikins54]

1. Who came up with that concept?

2. Who designed and tested it?

3. How long did it take?

4. Did they tell the Tree Saver dude that stuff is all made of plastic just like chopsticks. It seemed to go a bit flat towards the end.

5. Where do all the knobs come from?

[rEDdEaDlAmB]

wow thats a lot of work for a cell comercial

[madmandf126]

touch wood lmfao!

[xMissMelinax]

What is the name of this piece? Thank you!

[satomiigpx]

gotta love japan

[eileen58]

Awesome, I was left in complete and utter amazment. Great great work.

Me: "Now play The Climb by Hanna Montana!!!!"

Crew: *sigh*

lol, jk. I hate HM :l

[welc13]

to all the ppl talking about killing trees i live in a log cabin. and many of our ancestors did too does that make them "Tree Murderers"? no the trees were here to be used maybe we have gone to far sometimes but still they are what is called...a resource you need resources in order to live do kill animals to eat for protein? that deer looked good:)

[SeoKungFu]

@welc13 yeah the deer...I'd hit her ! :D

[h0tpoop]

touch wood.. get it?? like a boner!!

[eileen58]

@h0tpoop lol, that's all I can say. Just lol

[cdaetwyler]

This is a great video of a great idea! It even reminds me of my all time favorite "Der Lauf der Dinge" by David Fischli and Peter Weiss which you can find on youTube

[drdan75]

Quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen. I don't care if it's a commercial.

[andrelemaitre]

If one more person says anything about "killing trees," then I'm going to puke. Let's all give up art, recreation, and creativity to save a relatively negligible amount of wood. Well, listen up, Mr. Braindead, trees are a renewable resource, not that that's even important in the grand scheme of things. If you feel so emotionally compelled to "save" trees (which are not capable of perception, mind you), then just give up everything and go live naked with the bears. That means no computer. ;)

[GasMaskHeadhunter]

@andrelemaitre Renewable resource!! What planet are you living on? A very clever thing. Must have taken a heofalot of ime

[andrelemaitre]

@GasMaskHeadhunter Your comment makes little to no sense at all. If you are dumb enough to not know that trees are universally considered to be a renewable resource, then you must also have a hard time grasping your little, weed-damaged mind around the basic concept that TREES CAN BE REPLANTED. And to answer your impertinent question, I live on the planet earth (the same one as you, sadly enough - in case you really needed me to tell you this, too).

[paperNATEman]

@andrelemaitre one word; "yep"

[gr8light]

I just adore this. I once flattened spoons to create an instrument of tones and semi tones... but wow...look at this. What joy in play. Thank you for the creators and those who posted. Such simple sweet play.

[Californiagurlify]

Dude that is awesome. but imagine how long it took to set up tht wood... KILLING TREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dirtbagstatus]

@Californiagurlify Not sure where they did this,but in America theres a lot more trees than before Europeans arrived,because of a demand for wood products.

Great idea by the people who made this commercial btw.

[drdan75]

@Californiagurlify

It's not that much wood. Your house probably contains ten times as much.

[Californiagurlify]

@drdan75 Well what if i told u i lived in a cave underneath a forest????????????

[mghollis38]

That was pretty neat. I'm so thankful for YouTube that lets Americans like me see works of art or ads like that from Asia. How neat to span such a great distance. Thank you YouTube.

[ouggnoy]

isn't ironic that they had to kill that many trees to make this video so soothing and natural?

[SolInvictus]

Whining about how it's a commercial—yeah, only on YouTube. As if being commercial somehow lessens its value as a work of art. Here's some breaking news: all those movies you watch, and most of the songs you listen to were made for a commercial purpose. It doesn't make them any less "art".

[Jucatogoskate]

Falta Ver si la venta del Celular, Supera los costos de Produccion! XD

[reachmehere5]

Oh, it's a commercial. Would have been nice if you'd mentioned that in the title or the description before wasting my time.

[iexusuxei]

@reachmehere5 Oh your comment is ignorant and does not provide any form of useful and constructive discussion. Maybe you should have put that at the front before wasting our time ... or better yet not written it at all.

[reachmehere5]

@iexusuxei "Oh your comment is ignorant and does not provide any form of useful and constructive discussion."

People can read my comment and decide if they want to sit through something that turns out to be a commercial. It's possible that you like advertising because it conveys simple messages that even you can understand. But remember, not everyone is a brainless consumer who enjoys watching commercials and clicking ads.

[iexusuxei]

@reachmehere5 your brainless if you view this and only see it as an add. Who cares what they're selling, you don't have to buy it. Maybe you lack the intelligence to resist. Maybe you can't enjoy anything in life. Maybe you're useless and vapid.

So what simple message does this advert convey pray tell? What add exactly were you clicking? I've clicked no add. It costs THEM money when you watch adverts, so maybe you should try fighting the man by actually watching them.

Retarded cunt.

[reachmehere5]

@iexusuxei "your brainless".  You sure showed me!

[iexusuxei]

@reachmehere5 That's the best argument you could come up with? You're thicker than I thought. "Oh gnoes I'm a retarded shit who can't actually form coherent thought, best criticise his rash typing".

so far you're losing. Try again. You mad?

[reachmehere5]

@iexusuxei "Oh gnoes I'm a retarded shit who can't actually form coherent thought"

I'm glad you've finally worked up the courage to admit that about yourself. Good boy.

[iexusuxei]

@reachmehere5 Haha you still can't form a decent argument I'm loving how badly you're defending your point. Go on insult my mum whilst your at it. That's about the standard of response I expect from you and your startlingly appalling wit.

Oh the condescension through inferring I'm younger than you technique? Brilliant move. What next calling me kid? Boasting about the inferior size of your e-peen?

How about actually responding in a sensible manner and admitting that your comment was moronic.

[MoarVespeneGas]

That was pretty cool even though the rythym is all wrong.

You know what, nevermind, its not cool.

[theRAGEQUIT]

@MoarVespeneGas It's easy to ridicule someone's work. Where's your video of a wooden ball playing Bach?

[MoarVespeneGas]

@theRAGEQUIT I'm not the one ridiculing someone else's work here, they are.

[theRAGEQUIT]

@MoarVespeneGas It's easy to laugh at the kid who jumped into the freezing pool, meanwhile you're still standing there dipping your toes in. Like I said, post something of substance and then you get to have an opinion.

[harryforeman]

thats cool, but sounds pretty shit

[r0ll1ng3r]

"Jesus bleibet meine Freude" würd ich sagen

[ToothMusic]

I would have liked this so much more if it wasn't a commercial...

[parsonste]

It's Bach. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. 

[nedclamp]

Definitely Bach

[agogomike]

This is not Back...It's Beethoven's "Joy to the world"

How could they miss that?

[h2osprey]

@agogomike The final movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony does contain this melody, but he adapted it from Bach's cantata.

[agogomike]

@h2osprey oops! you are right!

cheers

[AhamBrahman]

@agogomike

wrong. This is "jesu joy of man's desiring," a very famous bach piece.

[orgcon1]

Bit of an anticlimax with the phone bit at the end. Although if they sponsored the whole thing I guess you can't get away from it.

[RichardGrz]

WHY?

Why spend So much time to do this?

Before you think of doing another one. Could you please watch a Nitro Circus DVD first.

[AtsenMurry]

wow!! thats an unthinkable feat!! 

[geraldgsw]

Bach's Cantata 147, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."

[genuineillicit956]

engineering, music,....and cellphones? nice..........anyone know what bach song this is this?

[tronnyy]

Trippin balls.

[Susunihga]

Niiice...i thought it was going to be a movie about a lonely rolling ball going down on musical stairs hehe

[titanz05]

nice!! i hope the wood to make this came from the surrounding forest. jk!

[hsu912174]

Oh...... Cell phone commercial.

It did what it needed to do anyways. (I.e. Grabbed my attention for the entire time)

[D3ltaForce]

First! And yea this is awesome.

[papeipa]

First !! that saw how nice this vid was...
