When I saw this commercial for the first time a few weeks ago, I just loved it. Yea, its a commercial and no one likes those but this one is an exception. Plus, I can not get this jingle out of my head!
If you can't see the video above, click here.
To be clear you will never find me skydiving or storm chasing or shark diving - but I can't help but feel a little bit of a warm spot in my heart whenever this clip plays. The world is pretty awesome* and holds something for everyone. Hope you feel the same way.
*Sure, you could just as easily make a video titled "The Word is Just so NOT Awesome" with videos of plagues and famines and tragedy but I much prefer this version.
I saw it recently too, but I never tire of seeing it! Yes you could do the not so awesome but I don't think I would watch it!
ReplyDeleteHa. I haven't saw this yet. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes it is wonderful to simply focus on the positive for a moment!
ReplyDeletePerfect day for me to see this! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteABSOLUTELY!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I hadn't seen that before...

Thanks, it does put a smile on your face.
ReplyDeleteAww, that was super sweet. And a good reminder that I need to start planning our next trip!
ReplyDeleteI love this. I put channel promos and commercials in different categories, for sure. HBO montages always get me a little misty-eyed.
ReplyDeleteI prefer this version-- this world is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis put a smile on my face this morning. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!...and very stuck in my head. You were right. Thanks for sharing!

This is my family's favorite series of commercials! We sing the song all the time; since we love watching Discovery together, we tend to see the commercials a lot.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't see it when it came out -- Cynthia was obsessed. I love that commercial.
ReplyDeleteThe world really is just awesome if you look at it the right way.

I agree with you....the world is pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy heart is a little warmer today...just because of that clip. Thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen it yet!
ReplyDeleteI love that commercial, too. It actually makes me tear up a little. Is that weird?
ReplyDeleteI love it to.
ReplyDeleteFor our wedding, my family rewrote the lyrics to this commercial to make it about my husband and I. They had people all over the WORLD (from Alaska, where I lived, to Ohio where he lived, our college friends in Indiana, my cousin in Portugal. . .) film themselves singing parts of it, and then my brother (who's a film major) put it all together. It was a complete surprise to us at our reception and it was SO awesome. I still cry every time I watch it =)
ReplyDeleteI love this video! I'm going to put it on my blog too! (www.amoderncountrylife.com)
ReplyDeletehehehe, I absolutely love this one, too! It actually came out a while ago, but for anyone who watches all those shows (like me, my husband, and three year old son) it's a pretty funny/amazing commercial!
ReplyDeleteBlame it on PMS, but I got mighty misty-eyed watching this commercial. I LOVE the world and yes, I'd rather focus on all the good it has to offer.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this clip? Makes me wish I could be as lucky as this guy:

yay! who knew a commercial could be such a pick-me-up? i love it.
ReplyDeleteLove this commercial too! I get the exact same feeling, that happy smile and warm feeling! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLol. My kids and I love this one, I actually played it over and over again until we learned all of the words. It's really a sweet little song and video, quite moving, really. My hubby's favorite part is Stephen Hawkin, my son's is the guy jumping off the cliff, my daughter's is where they say " I like to go fast", my favorite is the part where they are all out on the beach and say "it's such a brilliant place". Such a cool vid.
