Awesome Commercials

“Please keep quiet during the movie. It’s not the same with you in it.” To drive its advisory home, Coke had a VFX crew play a prank on movie goers. It reeks of a set up, but it’s fun to watch nonetheless.

This commercial goes hard for the feels twice in one go. First when it reminds us how mean we can be to other people for the shallowest of reasons, and second when it reminds us of a special kind of love.
