Hei, good page/posts. I lived in Norway 2001-2005 and there was an ad of some Vikings sailing off, getting lost and finding land. When they went ashore to the nearest village they realised they’d come home (empty handed) and were swiftly clubbed on the head by their wives! Would love to see that one again.

Hello,
I was just in Norway (Oct ’17) and saw an ad that made me burst out laughing. But I don’t know what it was for and can’t seem to find it online. perhaps you have seen it? It shows a couple at home, the guy is in the kitchen (as usual in Scandinavian ads!) and the girl is on the couch, stressed out. She starts to sigh, and keeps going and going until her whole body deflates on the sofa. This is funny probably only to me, who sighs like that when I’m stressed! Do you know what it was an ad for??

Thanks

I was just in Norway and there was a commercial with a cat being annoyed by a dripping facet, looks up plumbers online, selects a plumber with a fish on his shirt and the ad ends with milk coming out of the faucet. Anyone know where I can find this one?

The blue he-cow freaks me out. And even more, knowing there is a she-he-cow.

Sick.

I love how many adverts in Norway use ‘visual’ stuff more than just spoken to get their advert accross (also appealing to the non-norsk speakers’.
I liked the mobile phone directory one, where the guy gets in the back of the taxi after a night out at a conference with his name tag on.. Taxi driver asks ‘where to?’ Guy says ‘Home’ before passing out. So the taxi driver looks at his name tag, does a search on his mobile, finds his address, takes him home.
Another I REALLY like is a young boy shooting a football at an empty goal. Repeatedly over days. Then he sets up a romantic meal for his parents, candles, soft music, the works… Then cuts to a while later, baby’s crib set up, and he pops a little pair of football boots on top of the baby. I THINK it was to advertise chocolate, but really can’t remember…
