This ad copies off of the Nintendo Wario ad where he shakes the entire screen. Kinda late, Apple

 

[alphaod]

I love it. Pretty spiff.

I saw this ad on youtube ages ago

 

[powers74]

Yahoo

This is not the Snow Leopard announcement.

 

[briansolomon]

Very cool!

I usually hate ads, but this is the best ad I've ever seen.

 

[Mazda 3s]

Flash?... Oh the irony
Funny you cant actually watch the ad on an iPod touch...

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Yuk! I hate animation, blinking, scrolling and other motion in ads. It distracts from the real value content of the web page. That is awful. It doesn't make me want to buy, it makes me want to avoid the page, the ad, the company, etc.

 

[mikeinternet]

well my setup had no chance at handling that ad.

 

[Auzburner]

This ad is by far the best ad I have ever seen online in my life. Nothing fan even touch how amazing and unique this truly is.

Anyone know what song's playing in the ad? Thanks!

EDIT Nevermind. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=294067171&s=143441

This is so much better than the horrible advertising that myspace has been doing lately. A few days ago, a dog from a new movie that's coming out would bite the navigation bar and take it away from the homepage. You'd have to press the tiny tiny "x" at the top right to close the ad, then the real navigation bar would come. The navigation bar in this ad goes back to normal when you scroll over it, which is a great idea.

Personally, I hate ads that impede my browsing. This looks just as annoying as those "roll back the page" adds...

I have to agree. Sites that force me to view an ad also force me to never visit that site again.

 

[swb1192]

Anyone else notice the Labyrinth app on the ad isn't feasible? The iPod is at a complete 90˚ angle, so the ball would fall right to the side and not move at all. Not the case on the ad.

Oh what video editing can do...

Everyone should check this out to:

Very cool! You can also fling the "pieces" around. It's like a physics game or something.

 

[longofest]

Am I right if I say that you can't view the ad outside the USA? I only get an ad with a link to "Learn More" no option to play the ad.

I'm in the USA and I can't view it. Can other folks still view it?

EDIT: I figured it out. It appears to require Flash 9. If you have already updated to Flash 10, you're out of luck.

Looks neat. Good thing you have the video here; all flash and java run like crap on my mac.

 

[notatrumpetpro]

It might have been cool if they were the first to do it but after seeing the nintendo one a few times it becomes quite annoying.

EDIT: It would be cool if I would read the full three pages of posts before I comment...

 

[needlnerdz]

yes content imposing ads suck... but this is beyond the normal. it does not cover up content.. it only tweaks it in a dammmn clever way. I can semi see the connection to the wii ad in that it effects your browser.. but at least this one didn't cause about 12 script error popups to occur.. plus the minute this ad went with a 3d tilt towards the background- it won many originality points. bravo apples ad crew - you [from each different company] never cease to amaze me.

 

[holden15]

That is the coolest web ad I have ever seen!

 

[flottenheimer]

Cool.
But it would have been even cooler if the Yahoo Games menu bar was still working while being animated.
