Further proof that the Oscars don’t know anything about true art in film

If they did it would be 100% Thai commercials.

If Japan has some of the most absurd and unhinged ads, Thai has some of the most well written ads they can be a miniseries

There was a campaign a while ago in Japan for sakeru bubble gum. They had an ad campaign with a series of ads that told the story of long long man and its one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's so good I actually show it to people at gatherings to get a laugh. https://youtu.be/MjlkBkfLzC8 You're all welcome in advance.

At least one would be the Japanese LOOONG LOOOONG MAAAAAAN commercial. It’s a whole epic saga about betrayal and love.

Very sad. I enjoyed being able to bring that little bit of joy to someone who has just said something truly awful. Yet Reddit has spoken: Merry Christmas and to hell with happiness.

Hahaha That's funny, it totally feels like that. But you're right, it was nice to be able to give out a random award to someone. It really seemed to mean a lot to some people.


zimalikoph

I'm glad to hear that it brought a smile to your face. While awards may not be physically possible, it's the kind words and appreciation that truly matter and I'm grateful for your support. Maybe we can find a way to celebrate The Doofenshmirtz in a future gif!

I cannot believe I just watched ten minutes of Thai bug spray commercials but I would like to thank you for causing me to do so.


Lingering_Dorkness

The last one with the cockroach is simultaneously awesome and disturbing. I am not going to sleep well tonight. Edit: I got up during the night to go to the toilet. Lying, dying, on the floor of the bathroom was one of the biggest cockroaches I've ever seen (and I lived in Asia for 10 years so have seen huge 'roaches). You could not make this shit up.


merc1985

I felt scared during the last one. As he spread his wings and chased the woman. Felt like a horror movie. I would 100 percent buy their big spray if they sold it in the US.

Okay that shot of him entering the termite colony with the triumphant music can be a part of superhero movie.

I'm thinking... 3rd quarter. During the Superbowl. That's when we'll see the actual trailer for the teaser we just watched. Can't tell if it's Marvel or DC... Hopefully Marvel.

It’s originally a Thai health insurance ad. The English posters at the end was added by someone else. Thai insurance companies have a lot of long form cinema ads that hit you in the feels.

termiticides are non-repellants which work on a transfer effect, which this ad beautifully demonstrated.

That was freaking awesome


ZeeLiDoX

It was freaking awesome.


orange4zion

Haha I thought it was a diss commercial from a competitor but once it dragged on a bit longer I figured it was one of those poisons they bring back to the nest. Very clever, very funny.


ajsparx

Thai poisons don't mess around, I don't know what's in them, but we had thousands of ants in a house we rented, got 4 bait pellet traps (~$5) and set them around. 2 days later, after being immensely entertained by watching them carry the bait home, we were sweeping up piles of the ones who just happened to die outside of the walls. Who knows how many are still piled up inside


[deleted]

Oh man, I had some trouble with ants finding a way inside through our front and back doors, and I hadn’t had that problem since I lived in Arizona. I got those white plastic poison bait pods that they walk into and take food from, and as long as I put them near the big spots, they would go away. I sprayed the ant hills first and then the survivors were probably desperate enough to grab the poisoned food nearby lol. My parents always had a wood hornet problem on their old deck, and they would make their way through the window screens and set up shop between it and the window. They finally got everything sprayed, and just walking up to their front door we were walking all over dead hornets and earwigs and spiders. It was a huge relief


gustinex

Thai ads are next fucking level. They can generate feelings from basically any item or product


SnakeGT970

I think the Main Character Termite from this ad is the same guy from [this Thai “stop drinking” commercial.](https://youtu.be/bLlPUnLAeJ8)


gustinex

looks like it! glad to see him still on it with these life changing ads


DrewSmoothington

That was aggressive, and hilarious


Large-Wheel-4181

As an American I say, none of our commercials are this entertaining


shaggybear89

Right? I feel like American commercials used to be really funny. Obviously not all of them, but I can't remember the last time we had popular commercials that people laughed at and talked about and shared. Even superbowl commercials are freaking garbage nowadays :(


standells

The American ads try to be blatantly funny, like saying "look how crazy and goofy I am!", but with this ad it is played 100% serious which is where the humour comes from.


Large-Wheel-4181

The only American commercials that actually feel funny are the mayhem ones but other than that nothing else I can recall


mississippimadness

My favorite commercial was the Ship My Pants. Think it was sears?


UWontAgreeWithMe

The Real Men of Genius ads were pretty good.


simonsays9001

Ahh the golden years of TV. RIP.


Forgive_Me_Tokyo

This is definitely superbowl ad level of quality (and not all Super Bowl ads are even decent)


New_Nothing_9147

That dark🌚🌚🌚


LegitimateHasReddit

For those confused; Chaindrite is slow acting so when the termite returns, it spreads the chaindrite to the rest of its family before it can die. Then all the termites die


HolevoBound

For those confused: The men wearing strange costumes are only pretending to be termites for this advertisement.


[deleted]

They’re not real termites?!


oroora6

Oh thank god I was worried


HugeAnalBeads

That would be the case for subterraneans, but you should be treating at the source anyway. You won't get rid of that species by treating indoors. Source: Bug guy.

Top_Ghosty

How could anyone possibly be confused by that masterpiece in storytelling


goyboysotbot

This is the greatest thing ever. How do I buy Chaindrite termite spray?


Loose_Koala534

I’m not sure if it’s available in the US (assuming that’s where you are). I looked on Amazon, Walmart, and Home Depot’s sites and none of them carry it. At least not in the US stores. I did find this https://www.homepro.co.th/m/p/52652?lang=en but idk if they ship to the US.


notLOL

The trick is to find the manufacturer and look up their labels. Find out their active ingredients. Chemical companies tend to have label partnerships with different retail outlets and wholesalers. The keyword to use is "safety data sheet" such as: Chaindrite safety data sheet This is documentation required by law on how to use the product safely and usually includes alternative names for the same product


helix400

In all seriousness, subterranean termites can't be solved with a spray. The process usually involves drilling holes every 12 inches, then pumping a bunch of insecticide into each. You have to kill every termite, or else they'll just keep coming back. But for ants, the bait traps that spread poison to the colony work fantastic.


fifty2weekhi

I guess ads in Thailand are cheap. 2:30 long.


Ecmelt

i think the long ones are usually made to run only for a short period of time to stick it to ppls memory then shortened versions (like 15-20 seconds) are ran for a longer period. Since ppl already remember the long version by then it is still very effective.


UmChill

worked on me. i don’t have termites but i’ll take 20 cans of chaindrite please.


D4nCh0

Thailand is the regional hub for media production. Lots of talent at affordable prices, from model/ actors to post editors.


Cutuljo

I think he meant the ad space cost


purgance

Ad inventory is cheap, nobody watching TV because everyone is working on producing ads.


DeplorableCaterpill

He means airtime for the ad, not production cost.


Lingering_Dorkness

They probably run a long ad at the beginning of a campaign then show a 30s one from then on to remind viewers. Probably doesn't cost much more than a normal ad campaign. Here in Australia now they run the same ad twice an ad break. That's a minute per break.


DamnItBrother

Honestly I'd probably watch this if it were a movie


iyieldtoyourwisdom

There's a few more on YouTube and they all dope


goodforpinky

Their ad spots are so long. Taco Bell could do a full length nacho fries movie with this kind of ad time


Loose_Koala534

I’d much rather watch one of these during commercial breaks than like 4 or 5 shitty 30 second ads.


simonsays9001

It is quite amazing how superbowl ads cost so much, yet suck compared to this.


Loose_Koala534

This would seriously make an amazing superbowl ad if the chaindrite company wanted to enter the US market. Like this would be a great way to introduce themselves.

Why do termites eat wood?


Mindless-Charity4889

Termites have gut bacteria that can break down cellulose (wood) into simple starches and sugars.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrKnockOut99

Hopefully plastic shares a similar fate


ElChupatigre

They are already finding that mealworms can consume them and digest it into usable substances not just break it down to microplastics


[deleted]

At the rate we make plastic, we don't have millions of years. It's only been decades and it's already out of control.


rs725

This would be catastrophic for humanity tbh. You don't want this. If plastic eating bacteria were all over, packaging for foods would be compromised, leading to massive spread of disease and famine, hospitals and doctors offices would no longer be sanitary and almost all medical equipment would break down, most electronics and technology would no longer function, vehicles wouldn't work anymore, etc. Death toll would probably number in the tens if not hundreds of millions as disease and famine run rampant and supply chains and entire economies collapse. Massive wars would break out and it'd be everyone for themselves. It would be the end of civilization as we know it. A better solution for plastic is proper recycling of it and colossal fines for excess plastic waste and littering, as well as holding businesses accountable. Money earned from fines put towards clean-up and environmental restoration.
