MINI Clubman Offers Fly Legendary Death

mini_clubman_fly.jpg

I love this commercial. It’s for the Mini Clubman. The spot opens on a Tim Burton-esque funeral at which several flies (played by humans) offer up their last word for their fallen friend who met an untimely but sensational (even legendary!) death. Yes, their friend, a hero, died a death bigger than life. How did he die? It would be too much of a spoiler to tell you here. Just watch.

Oh, and why do I love it? because I am a sick, twisted, adolescent-minded person who is easily amused. The work was created by Munich-based Webquerillas. Video production was done by Berlin-based Big Fish and online seeding was done by Vienna-based Knallgrau.

Children raised in cold houses don’t grow up to be cold people — they grow up to be the warmest people in every room they enter because they decided very young that nobody else should ever feel the way they felt and they have been making good on that decision ever since at enormous personal cost
