Saddest Advert Possibly ever

I just came across the following advert that sells Life Insurance In Thailand.

Just thought I'd show it to you guys.

Its a shame we dont get adverts like this over here, just stupid mascots/characters and songs that they want to go viral. N.b I do not watch much TV these days by the way (less than 3hrs a week).

    Alright bud.

    Agreed, adverts with that fat singing pillock are annoying.

    Really nicely made advert, thanks for posting the link.

    To be honest though, I would rather laugh at/ignore some stupid pointless advert than be taken on a massive guilt trip everytime I switch on the TV, just for poxy life insurance. To me, they are using deeper human emotions to sell the product, at least "go compare" is just irritating.

    Well that's ok then. God, for a minute there I was going to thin kyou were a massive tool, with a huge ego problem, and maybe some kind of superiority complex about your inferiority complex.
    But then luckily, you pointed out that you don;t watch much television.
    Phew.

    I didnt mean to come across pretentious. I just meant that I have no idea what adverts are like on UK TV these days, thats all. :D
