FedEx - We Apologize (1998) - 0:30 (USA)



I love this ad. It has to be one of my all time favorites.

That is completely brilliant. Particularly the way that they grit their teeth and stick to the theme to the bitter end. No images except the scrolling text, no sound except that low hum, no slogan at the end.

It certainly sent a message w/o really saying it. Does anybody, though, really believe that the commerical was supposed to be Garth Brooks and dancing bears? Why even joke about something like that?

I suppose for the same reason one would write hundreds of absurd comments.

Mets82,

I have the original commercial in my possession. I assure you it has everything the above ad said it did and more. I will sell you the original, if you are interested. The price is very high, and non-negotiable. The tape will be shipped to you as soon as I receive your full payment. Cash only, please.

Thank you  but I'm not interested. It was a memorable spot, though.
