Nokia's Weirdest Clip Ever Made Might Just Be It
Posted by Jason Chen at 7:20 AM on August 14, 2008
Nokia's teaser site that promised the weirdest clip ever made has just coughed up that video in question, and yeah, it's pretty damn weird. The first puzzle is almost impossible to solve by non-brute force methods if you don't have a Nokia phone, but if you do, it's a matter of watching the video and plugging in the symbols in the correct order. For those of you who don't want to try it for themselves, you can see the video after the jump. We're still unclear what phone this is teasing for. [Open At Own Risk]

Ok, first, awesome clip.
Second, that website is kinda pissing me off.
Mostly cuz, I LOVE puzzles like these... remind me of good ol' adventure puzzle games 'n stuff. But come on! Can't even play if you don't have a nokia phone. Hella lame >_<

Huh.
Making weird just 'cause ya can, eh Nokia?
Kinda feels like a bunch of "creatives" had to sit around a white board and call out "weird things" & they made this from it.
Creative type #1: Lobster motocross!
Creative type #2: Midget king fishing!
Creative type #3: Weird-beard ping pong!
Creative type #4: Hot girl in bikini eating a rocketpop!
Creative types 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6: Wtf!? That's not weird you a*hole!
Creative type #4 (sulking): Alright then, stick some f'ing big drums on people and make 'em hit themselves.
Creative types 1,2,3,5 & 6: Genius!

Plugging what symbols? Nokia's have giant cat, human tom-tom, and car wrapped in condom symbols?
Wow... how times change. My last Nokia had a star and hash symbols.

Whoever the creative genius was behind this, he needs to leave Nokia to pursue awesomeness elsewhere. Lobster on a motocross jump? Genius.

@Groggy Banana: Thanks for that Avalanche clip, good stuff.
Props to Nokia for being absurdly different. Weirdest Clip ever? Probably not. But still an "A" for effort.
@SirNirian: I like that clip too, it's a shame YouTube removed it. PPl should try to catch it.

Yeah, weird is one way to put it, but the weirdest video ever made, I don't think so, I've seen some really weird looking stuff. This one is definitely among the weird videos out there, but it's definitely not the weirdest I've seen:

That is wonderful advertising. Create an ad that allows only people who already have one of your products to learn about your new product. What ever happened to trying to steal LG's customers, or trying to entice people away from the iPhone by copying apple's advertising?
Though, people are talking about it...

Giant cat licking that guy came from The Weirdest Video ever... YouTube had it, the author removed dunno why.

I hate it when big companies put things you only think about when you're high, put it in an ad, and call it "creative" and "quirky" or "Juno". Just show us the damn phone!

About 20 seconds and my attention span is shot. Either sell me stuff like normal companies, with barely contained jiggling flesh placed just out of reach beyond a gap that can only be crossed with the aid of your product, or flatter me by making me feel smart with your incredibly simple hidden messages.
And fuck you all if this is the latter.

This Nokia video was pretty sweet though, I just don't think it compare's to cyriak's animation mix.

Excellent vid... It had a kind of modern day surrealist quality to it. The lobster reminded me of Salvador Dali's fetish with lobsters and his subsequent lobster phone:
