There’s no sound, it’s in black and white, and the frame rate is stuttered, but this ad from LG has me completely sold. Unfortunately I can’t tell you exactly what they’re selling, because it would totally ruin the gag.
So just make sure to watch this commercial all the way to the end for the payoff, ok? I promise it’s totally worth a minute of your life. (Note: Promise not guaranteed.) [YouTube via Neatorama]

Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:22 PMIf, by “real ad” you mean a 30-second spot paid for by some coked-out whizz kid to appear on prime time commercial telly, then yes, you may be right.
However it is an awesome piece of viral marketing that will reach maximum audience for minimal $$.
