great ad

Thanks for the link. Now I can watch it more often.

I just love that amazing black dog. Unfortunately, there's a dog right here that hates the TV dog and barks his fool head off, so I dread that commercial, usually try to quickly change the channel.

It is not as if the dog in the ad barks, as they are on other commercials?

He barks ferociously and tries to attack any dog he sees on the TV, which is often on commercials. He's gotten so he recognizes the music for certain ones, tried playing the commercials on my laptop and he recognized them immediately, went straight for the TV. I've had dogs that recognized the sound of doorbells on the TV, but this pup actually reacts to any dog that appears on the small screen.

Here he is:

But he's still the only dog I've ever known to react to what he sees on the TV. He sometimes loses it...

The slow raster and interlacing on old-school TV's make the picture (for dogs) just a bunch of jagged lines and flickering, much like you would see in the old days if a TV camera saw another TV. HDTV has a higher raster rate which dogs can resolve as an actual picture.

One of my dogs' favourite shows is the morning breakfast show when they do the dog adoptions.

But it explains why my dogs have never reacted before. And I love the dog adoption shows, too. The weather guy on my local ABC affiliate has "The Pet Connection" twice a week and that's how I found my beloved cocker spaniel...

Oddly enough, that same man and woman were in another car ad. In that ad, they are at a party and the man appears to pick the woman up. They go somewhere and play pool, and have drinks, and end up in bed. Then you see that they are married, as their children pile in bed with them in the morning.

I don't remember what car brand. Some luxury car.

No matter how beautiful, memorable & wonderful the commercial is, the whole point of it is to instill in you how beautiful, memorable & wonderful the product is. Enough to make you spend money on it.

of most commercials. Except, perhaps, the incessant AARP for UnitedHealth insurance, adult diapers and various meds, including Viagra and the new "vagina moisturizers.."

stairs - is dumb.

Like in the movie "the Italian Job."

I remember in the early days of the SUVs, in the 90s, there was an ad of people stopping at a service station looking for a way to get to the top of the mountain. The "regular" folks in a sedan are told to go right and left, etc. The ones in the SUV, the direction is: just drive straight up.

Being a non-conformist, I'm going to say something completely off-topic.

Every time I hear it start, I turn and watch the commercial.
It makes sense…it's promoting the Land Rover by showing it going anywhere.
I'm not a good one to question how well it actually does the job in terms of brand recognition, because I was an advertising
copywriter/ producer so I always pay attention to the "label" on the ad.
Of course, they had me at the dog...

if his owner is still coming and wags his tail squeezes my heart every time. What a gorgeous dog!
