I'm in this project for work and the guy running it goes to Canada alot for education conferences etc. During the conferences he does for us he shows us ads. They are Canadian and they are hilarious. Do you know any of these KM?

The Cat Muster: all these cowboys are talking very seriously about their job and how they love rounding up cats. And you see them actually rounding up cats. I think the ad is for an insurance company.
The Plane building: The same company as the cats I think. All these men are building a plane and talking very seriously about what an important job they are doing and how they love it and it gives them a sense of pride etc and they are actually building it while it is flying and people are on board. It's so good.

Then there's the bear one......I can't really remember it but I think it's a bear hunting salmon and something happens. We have an ad where a guy jumps out and grabs the salmon before the bear gets it. Not sure if this is the same as the one I saw from Canada. Short memory. There were more but I forget them.

I like beer ads best. One we had hear was where all these people in black , red and yellow robes were running through a field and over a wire fence all chanting a well known opera song. Can't think of it's name but they changed the words to say things like "It's the best beer. A tasty beer. That we can't get enough of: etc " and eventually you see them from the air and they are moving in their coloured robes to make it look like a man is downing a glass of beer. It's really clever.
