The NEW T-Mobile Welcome Back Ad, Brand New T-Mobile Heathrow Terminal 5 Flash Mob Advert

[TheSnuffler]

Whoever took this are you racist or just really stupid??? Why did you turn your back on the black women doing the duet with the white guy???

[JimmieBenskin]

Very very funny video humor

[MRronnie0825]

i just wanna go home!

[danikittie]

Like I said on the other video, I really hope AT&T doesn't buy T-Mobile.

[datsniggawater]

i know they didnt just do one video i mean why flash cuz on the advert they show the same singers but the passengers are different so i wonder how many times did they have to do that over and over to get the right views that is presented in the advert

[MezzieB21]

WOW!!! I would love to do one Flash mob in the area that I am!! Do you come to LA???? If you do I would help!!! Thanks for doing this! It made my day!

[datsniggawater]

@MezzieB21 im from LA los angeles area my self and im asking tmobile the same question cuz this is really different to see and would be great at lax finding talent wont be hard to find since we live in the city of the stars haha

[MezzieB21]

@datsniggawater I totally agree...Most of my friends from HS are in music school around the area. I think it would be great!!!!

[AlCrapTogether]

If I watch this, I'm getting a "love"-feeling...

[mcg199426]

why cant us humans be this cool all the time!

[miller41540]

they ned to do this for our troops when they come back

[IAmTheMohawkWarrior]

This gives me goosebumps too. The idea of this is amazing lol

[krakmeup07]

thnx for the different takes on this awesome event. brilliant

[alwelli]

I Thought they did all the songs for diffrent adverts at diffrent times but all at the same time :D

[maggsmagic]

lovely to see this add from a different view point...... but what a sad shame that the male crew members coming through are such miserable sods and didn't even smile or seem to enjoy it in any way. It must have been a lovely atmosphere there

[linzichris132]

this is great goosebumps everytime, makes me feel really good when i watch it i always av a liitle giggle, makes me actually sing out load !

[linzichris132]

this is great goosebumps everytime, make me feel really good when i watch it

[kemble84]

4:20 what a legend haha

[chishalac6]

fat black guy creases me

[sallyannlady]

4:32 "Come on- sway with me, brother!" Great line. Yep it was done more than once to get it right- don't know if the official ad was one take that turned out perfect, or clips from different takes. Whatever, it's great.

[1984ekul]

They obviously did this more than once: the people coming out to the airport are different from those in the "official" ad. The guy who gets targeted for "Return of the Mack" here looks like he's pretty much trying to run away!

[Hayden06]

Looks like they did this more than once.. The guy the indian sings to in the T-mobile ad isn't wearing a red hat or holding a walkietalkie like in this one...

[jonnyharding101]

classic 2:57 grumpy guy get the f** out of my way godman hippies

[florencelovme]

@jonnyharding101 lol! oh well, I guess he had a bad flight

[frodeskibrek]

This is clearly from a testrun. Chech out the BAA Securityguard and compare to real advert..

[PanicMoonPro]

I'd love to be somewhere when something like this is happening, it looks amazing :)

[brandhijack]

@PanicMoonPro Just make sure that you have something to record with to share it with others. You might want to put some Google Alerts for some keywords and where you're located to be alerted to the opportunities. Good luck.

[koolkat104]

Man this is awesome. Thanks for uploading this. It's neat to see the advert when it isn't the professional filming. You get more of a sense of how absolutely amazing it must have been to be there.

[0121881066]

can anyone name these songs?

[brandhijack]

@0121881066 Songs that were used on the official T-Mobile Welcome Back Heathrow Terminal 5 advert (in sequence):

1. Etta James - At Last

2. Mel Tormé - Comin' Home Baby

3. Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack

4. Iggy Pop - The Passenger

5. Thin Lizzy - Boys are Back In Town

6. Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God

7. George Michael & Aretha Franklin - I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

8. Peters And Lee - Welcome Home

[dante144]

I am crying. I want to be "welcomed home" in song.

[SebJS74]

Hey, I found it really interesting seeing your filming of the T-mobile advert. Whether you bizarely are imployed by them, I don't care as I've been wanting to see a non-advert version, y'know, so I could understand how it must have felt to be there. I'm actually quite jealous, great work though and nice quick thinking :) Cheers for the upload :)

[mikey0118]

How many times was this shot? I ask because the older Asian man, who sings to a BAA security employee in the video released by T-Mobile, sings to somebody completely different in this version.

[photoreaderuk]

@mikey0118 During 15 hour shooting this scene was probably shot over 80 times.

[immo121]

4:20 freak!

[SoftRazor12]

i LOVE these adverts but how do you get involved I would love to do one of these, they seem so feel-good and make me smile

[photoreaderuk]

@SoftRazor12 @SoftRazor12 You need to keep an eye on these events. I got a sense that this would happen when T-Mobile announced that they'll show it on Friday. I did a Google alert on it and on Tuesday evening there was already a buzz about it and on Wednesday morning I knew it would happen on that day so I went to Terminal 5 and I spend 1 hour filming it on my new iPhone 4. I edited it on iPhone and posted from it to YouTube. I was one of the first people to do it so it got most views. Neat fun

[cherrycake2]

Compared to the Liverpool street, Trafalgar square ads, this to me is number one, it gave a loving feeling where everyone regardless of race came together as one, have watched it over 50 times and it surely gets you out of a sad mood and into a great mood. Well done Tmobile can't wait to see their next brilliant ad

[Trenter10]

I love the advert, but I've just noticed it was filmed more than once because some of the people in the video are different to the T.V advert.

[SebJS74]

@Trenter10 You got to remember though, with it being an airport, there are so many difficulties to overcome that it can't be a one shot ad :)

[Trenter10]

@SebJS74 true true :)

[joss885]

brandhijack is employed by T mobile as part of this campaign, this is the lengths they have to go to

[brandhijack]

@joss885 Wrong man. I do it for fun and because I can (and to test my new iPhone 4 - I've shot it, edited it and posted it from the iPhone). If you knew anything about branding you'd know they don't pay for these because they don't have to. People do this kind of things all the time for fun (read Cognitive Surplus). It's called viral marketing. Read Brand Hijack by Alex Wipperfurth if you want to understand how it all works. People are taking over brands - and this is the way to do it...

[joss885]

@brandhijack no you are just promoting this 

[joss885]

@hometag yes I heard about this, someone getting punched, would love to see a clip of that, maybe they used a rival phone as well

[pppppppppppppppppsds]

Where next.?

[littlezuke1]

if more people were like this everyday. The world woule be a better place. Great advert no mater how many times it was filmed....i love it

[PunkntheGodfather]

@littlezuke1 yes everybody treated as little more than consumer fodder in a dehumanised world with everyone up to thier eyeballs in credit debt just short of homelessness

[scenequeenwannabe990]

They Should Do This For Soilders When They Come Back

[dante144]

@scenequeenwannabe990 totally agree. Genius advert. I was balling like a child

[DragonDevine]

It obviously took more than one take and would have achieved different responses, hence there being slightly different versions :) none the less...great feel good video. I think it is great!

[tallguy932k8]

Im properly confused, in this version the "oh my god" guy sings to a guard with a hat on, but in the t-mobile version the guard doesn't have a hat on

[Flopsykw]

@tallguy932k8 yeah and when she sing return of the man with that guy its a different man, before it was a young man with a guitar on his back and black glasses this time it was an old man :L

[PunkntheGodfather]

@tallguy932k8 yes they made several attempts and then edited the best bits, apparently in one session one of them got smacked in the face and the police arrested some of the TMobile actors

[MrSimonRuddy]

this actually gave me goosebumps lol :)

[brandhijack]

@MrSimonRuddy well felt - this means that this has a fractal effect on you - ie it's shareable. I got the same feeling:) and so thousands of people who watched it.

[AkramPropheci]

@MrSimonRuddy wats goosbumps? lol

[aaronUK2006]

haha the actor at the end, c'mon swey with me brother! great to different ones other then official

[123twighlight]

Lol now that's what I want everytime I co e home

[jessicar1601]

Genuine fun! I want someone randomly break into song in front of me!

[Mirpuria]

This new ad was boring. Previous one in Liverpool Street was good.

[waynebaxter1]

@annemcx - seriously, just let it bring a smile to you and embrace this! A superb ad from a brand that has the balls to spend their ad money on something not totally centred around BUY BUY BUY! In a period where everyone, pretty much globally, is depressed and unhappy, fair play for a company to bring a ray of sunshine into our lives - I can't understand what's bad about that.... am I missing something?

[thecritic2007]

i wonder how many times thay did it because in the oficial version the little asian dude who sings oh my god icant beleave it sings it to a Baa security dude

[gill76song]

Brilliant!!!



[Spartan1KingLeonidas]

Why in the actual advert they follow different people or like the Indian man sings to a different person?

Just wondering. :P

[saintsrow2bomber]

@Spartan1KingLeonidas its the same person but i think they edited of his hat

[Simonsia]

@Spartan1KingLeonidas During the day, it wasn't only done once, they have just picked the best responses, and some people didn't sign a form to let them use their faces.

[annemcx]

Lemmings...each and every one of them.

Sorry but this is pathetic.

[mantor420]

@annemcx lol get a fucking life!!!!

[jamiers200]

@annemcx yeah u must be one sad bitch to not enjoy this

[welsh136]

Anyone know what The second or third sing is called??

[swiggerswift]

@welsh136 Do you mean 'the passenger'

[ln1977]

Yup great is the full version on here anywhere, does any one have a link to it?



[borobabe2404]

Just seen it on tv looks awsome I love it lol x

[MegaVanillaBear]

i was there :D

[metuber1993able]

@MegaVanillaBear damn, i wasn't but just seen the ad on TV and looks pretty cool...
