Thai Life Insurance - Silence of Love - (2011) 3:00 (Thailand)

Thai ads turn me into a puddle of sobs, or a puddle of laughter. This is the sob variety, bring kleenex, which Ogilvy & Mather Bangkok now owe me a shipment of.

The teenage daughter is ashamed, and bullied, about her mute father. She wants a "normal" dad, one that understands her, one that can hear her shout. If this ad doesn't make you cry a little, you've worked far too long in advertising and need a vacation.

A punkish girl travels to a wedding, an older man travels to a date, a young boy runs from his tormentors as he travels to school, an older couple are going for gasoline... The bus will take you there, wherever there is.

A man eats lunch alone, as a woman comes up and begins singing.

"Here you are, eating lunch alone but if you had Comviq Kompis
You could have called someone
for 0 kronor"

The men on the balcony join in and suddenly the song isn't so cute anymore:

"He's daft, daft!
Why are you such a fool, you think like a drugged monkey!"

They drag the man out of his seat and end the song with;

"You're so stupid in your whole head and so dumb it makes us ashamed"
and throw him in a garbage container.
