I’m sometimes amazed what companies do to promote their products in other parts of the world. The local advertisement agencies really seem to lack the esprit to produce advertisements that are fun to watch and deliver a message. They always seem to go straight to the message and forget that viewers are usually bored by those ads.
I have spotted a Pepsi advertisement on Youtube that is airing in South-America only which has all the traits of an interesting fun to watch ad. Honestly, what can go wrong if you combine Kung Fu Fighting, Mini Me and Godzilla in an ad?
Interestingly enough that’s not all there is to be seen and done for the viewer. They did release a free browser widget for Nokia Mobile phones built by interactive design & marketing group AgencyNet that can be downloaded free of charge from a newly created website. Supported languages are Spanish, Portuguese and English. The Pepsimundo website itself is only in Spanish but easy enough to navigate.
How does this ad compare to the ads you usually see when turning on the television?

I quit watching TV last year. So I don’t see any ads :)
@Roman ShaRP: As did I.. happily I get to miss the really bad commercials, but gems like these get uploaded,so I get to catch all the good ones
This is by far one of the better commercials I have seen and I have cable, so I see allot of bad ones!!
I don’t watch tv either, but I digress, web ads are never this good.
There is a variation of this advert in the UK
Its not as long and doesn’t feature godzilla but does have some very funny kung fu in it between 2 guys
Ha ha ha. There’s a commercial with a lizard in the U.S. that uses that song (the gecko for the Geico Car Insurance company). That song is always good for a chuckle.
