Honda’s Remarkable New TV Ad with ASIMO

Tweet

You may or may not have seen this new advert from Honda featuring their awe inspiring Asimo robot but, if you haven’t then you’re in for a treat.

A little (probably too honest) background.

The first time I saw this was in a pub this weekend whilst I was supposed to be Christmas shopping but felt curiously drawn to a pint or two of liquid refreshment having flexed the plastic all morning and it had a rather odd effect on me as, for some strange and wholly inexplicable reason, I was shocked to feel a tear roll down my cheek (no sniggering at the back please).

Why, I know not, but having seen it again later that evening it had the same effect again (only a little more pronounced) and I have no idea why. Either ways, this is a truly remarkable advert which needs to be seen and so I have hunted around and I am thrilled to have found that it is available on the net, and consequently I have been able to provide it below for your viewing pleasure.

Incidentally, if there are any budding psychologists out there who could offer some insight as to why this ad should have reduced a rather unemotional chappy such as myself to tears then it goes without saying that you’re more welcome to leave a comment. Alternatively, even if its effect on you has not been quite as drastic, I would be extremely interested to know what you think of the ad so please feel free to offer a comment below.
