Kudos to T-Mobile UK - Now THAT's a Commercial!
Crazy. Now that's how you make a commercial. Apparently this was filmed at 11am on January 15th at Liverpool Street Station. Probably a pretty big budget and a logistical nightmare to get this one recorded... though still probably not as pricey to produce as my favorite Shell/Ferrari commercial (after the jump for your viewing pleasure). Congrats T-Mo UK. Great job!

Shell/Ferrari Commercial
Sorry folks.. the new Formula 1 cars for 2009 are starting to role out (they look funky/awesome) and I've got that bug... any excuse to post something F1-related in the blogs! Check this commercial if you haven't seen it before... reported to be one of the most expensive commercials ever made.

Excellent, it's so nice to see so many people, so many generations actually getting along and having fun. With our rushed world today, we all need to take a big breath and take some time out and have fun with one another.

All I did was come home for lunch, crank up my crackberry.com and I get a 3mins of fun! That made me smile, laugh and feel good all over. Before I go back to work, I think I'll have another dose. Thanks for posting!

MikeOM Jan 20, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Great idea for a commercial
ballroomdru Jan 20, 2009 at 4:27 pm
Awesome idea....just awesome.

The T-Mobile ad was sooooo much fun to watch!

Looking forward to the new season, hope Lewis Hamilton (a fellow Storm owner) does well again!
CBK1 Jan 20, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I hope so as well. He really seemed to enjoy his Storm in those vids posted on CB. Both commercials were beyond amazing. I truly enjoyed them. Thanks Kevin.

Not sure if everyone knows about the "improv everywhere" events happening around the globe.
Like the Freeze Event at Grand Central Station (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMj3PJDxuo).
No Pants Event (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9La40WwO-lU&feature=channel), but this looks eerily similar to both of those events.
Looks like T-Mo just slapped their label on their video.
Nonetheless, pretty freakin' sweet :)

If only play could have been there with kid. Now thats a dance
Enraged Medic Jan 20, 2009 at 11:36 pm
if T-Mo could put some of that creativeness in harnessing a 3G network! LMAO

reddragon7660 Jan 21, 2009 at 10:04 am
the ferarri Commerical was awesome. but as you said kevin very expensive to film I am sure. lot of countries to film in.
davidwaynek Jan 21, 2009 at 10:36 am
Fabulous commercial. I wish I was there.
Spawn12 Jan 21, 2009 at 12:05 pm
Funnily enough as i live in London UK, i was passing through that station on my way to a meeting and saw all of that happen in front of my eyes. It looked pretty cool i have to admit but was wondering what it was all about...it was only the other night when they put it on the TV that i realised what it was all about.
Fantastic ad though...one of the best ones ive seen in a very long time.
nayeli.almaraz Jan 21, 2009 at 4:41 pm
I have the storm and can't see it!
