My favorite non-commerical commercial of all time is this Pachebel Canon played with traditional Korean instruments, a DJ and freaking awesome break dancers. I believe it was for a bank. I never tire of it 
My favorite non-commerical commercial is the “This is Living” series of vignettes involving a diverse group of wanderers visiting a hotel and features drug use, masturbation, existential dread, long repressed homosexuality, post-traumatic stress disorder, insanity, and nudity in an Apocalypse Now haze with Turkish music.
My favorite individual feature is Kovač in the bathtub:
Omg capitalism is horrible, and this ad is the proof!
Obviously the ad is supposed to be funny in how “serious” and expansive the narrative is, and at the end it’s just plain old Subway. All the cliches and tropes are there on purpose and well executed, and the so-serious artsy-fartsy things are in there exactly for maximum pretention.
Is it?

My money says “film major who went into advertising to make ends meet but always held out hope that one day their commercials would get someone’s attention in Hollywood and they’d be invited to make feature films.”

My thought was, “whatever this is, it’s a rejected Super Bowl ad”

Sometimes it’s the other way around, this commercial from Guy Ritchie in the category of “look at someone living their life” is probably my favorite commercial ever. And I don’t even really like football/soccer. I do like the POV idea though, and the music by the Eagles of Death metal. It is just really well made and with a lot of cameo’s that even I managed to spot.
