I like the car ad (I think it’s Volvo) that has the age progression of the owner & his dog, a chocolate lab.

That is a sweet commercial...

Not that it is at all important, but the car ad with the aging dog and family is for Subaru.

I only say post this because in my family, we often bring up "commercial failures" for discussion, which we define as a commercial spot for which the viewer DOES NOT RECALL THE NAME OF THE PRODUCT.

A commercial may be heartwarming, funny, exciting, cutting edge, etc, but if the viewer fails to come away with a clear message about the product that they can remember and associate with the brand, then the commercial has failed to do the fundamental job it was tasked with.
