Great Digg! - GeekyGirl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17"What's better than having an Ad agency? Letting your target audience make your ads for you!"
This is one of the best elements of open source culture. Give the community the freedom to innovate and build on the ideas of others. - duder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16"1 out of 10 IT professionals prefer firefox..." "1 out of 10????" " you can't trust the other 9".
now that's funny. anyways, good to see the ads finally making it out. definetly very good picture quality.
peace,
duder - soogy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8The "Double-Click Relief" video is the best thus far. The surfer video took a while to load, and it wasn't worth it (think those old Apple "testimonial" commercials gone bad). "Drama Queen" paled in comparison.
I just love the way "Relief" made fun of those stupid medicine commercials "try this" and "Firefox works gently to soothe..."
Digg for that video. - asadotzler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"You can now see all of the ads that were made as part of Spread Firefox's New Project." is wrong. We've actually got more than 125 submissions. We'll be rolling them out, several a day for the next few weeks before we announce the top entries.
- Asa - headzoo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9While I like the commercials, I kind of expected something different from the FF community. I don't know, something funnier and more entertaining. More creative.
- natmaster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Firefox flicks started months ago, the presentational site just opened and the flicks are just now being revealed. If I remember correctly, there will be three added per day.
- Mcaruso, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6There have been 100 submissions, according to Blake Ross. So no, this definitely isn't the end of the line.
- InvisibleMan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Someone should do a commercial that focuses on the how Firefox renders web pages. The Gecko engine is by far the best. Of course don't talk about WC3 or CSS because if you know about those then chances are you already use either Firefox or Opera. But a commercial that highlights how Firefox makes the web look nice again. I think Firefox does a better job then everyone at rendering web pages (even better than Opera). Its like putting on glasses for the first time. Or like Johnny Nash's song I can see clearly now the IE is gone :)
- phileplanet, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I agree; it would have been better if they included the videos from http://funnyfox.org/
- Erroneus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Read the blogg, more are beeing added in the next days.
I agree the surfboard wasn't worth the time, but the two others were great. - buss, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Frankly, the fat guy represents firefox more than IE. It made me think of the common occurrence of firefox consuming hundreds of megabytes of ram. I say that as a loving member of the firefox community, of course.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I liked the surfing one the best... Looking forward to seeing more.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7You mean like how environmental activists made the adverts for Chevy? http://standblog.org/blog/2006/04/08/93114743-redefining-the-notion-of-successful-marketing
- NinjaNoodles, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Haha! This is some good stuff, I love the drama queen fat guy MS IE analogy. I wonder if we'll start seeing these mirrored on You Tube?
- Sturmur, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I actually never heard of this, I could have submitted a movie. Damnit.
- TheWorkz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Wow.. found this from a link in their blog to another person who created a 3d animation for it..

http://sheep.handturkeystudios.com/artwork/modeling-a-firefox/ - VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I got a good laugh out of that.
- Metal_Guru, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Damn... Revver hosted videos are down already by digg. How can that be?
A bit early to start hyping this as it's only the first test batch. I'm sure we'll see better quality ones soon. - Rajio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Any other post that said 'hey click here to look at a bunch of ads' would get declared spam unless it was firefox or apple. wtf. this is spam too.
- Ryosen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@nesquik
Thanks for the link. I always wondered what happened to Danny Bonaduce.
Interestingly accurate comparison between Firefox and IE. Both ads had the same message but the IE ad took three times as long! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Dugg for:
"1 out of ten?"
"...You can't trust the other nine."
Brilliant - burke, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2"How long does the contest last?
December 21, 2005 through April 14, 2006." - Metal_Guru, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yep, looks like there is going to be several Blender created ads (cool!).
Another Blender post: http://www.firefoxflicks.com/backstage/2006/03/26/guest-post-from-paintful-productions-breaking-into-3d/ - 1337freek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2wait a second, i was watching those vids with an up to date version of firefox on my mac and one of the videos i watched came out wierd - double picture - though the ones i saw were pretty good
- pozzoe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4If you DID have your plugins correctly installed you would be able to play the videos just fine. I did.
- MicroBerto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Do those pages work for anyone using Firefox in Linux? I have got to believe that my plugin finder is broken because there's no way they could have made it not work on their own browser!!
- nesquik, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Searching through google for IE7 ads, here is one that I found:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5590190566057345524&q=ie7 - phileplanet, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1They added 3 more videos; check out "Wheee!".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31 out of 4 or 1 out of 3 in some countries ^_^
- mtvkilledusall, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Couldn't open in firefox, ironically. Played fine in IE.
(Yes, I've got the plugins installed correctly.) - VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2im going to submit mine later
- scarolan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4I opened this site in Firefox and tried to view the 'surfer' video and after hanging there for about 20 seconds crashed my browser. Lame.
- anagoge, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Thanks for this digg. Been waiting to see what people have been coming up with for a while now. I personally like the "Medic!" one the best.
- Raian, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I agree-- the second one with the joggers is by far the worst... reminds me of American ads for pharmaceuticals or dells.
- logic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Yeah, that's blender.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Home.2.0.html - clueless, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2it's seems like blender...
yep, i'm pretty sure it's blender - markos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"You can now see all of the ads that were made as part of Spread Firefox's New Project."
Yeah all three of them. - white, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3to play quicktime videos on linux try either the VLC player or mplayer.
- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2http://www.firefoxflicks.com/backstage/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/anim_screen1.png
Anyone know what animation program this is? - fabz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You have to use IE tab to be able to play their own ads correctly... what a shame !!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+7ROFL, I got halfway through the jogging one and FireFox crashed. I like them though :)
- MrDiaz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2What a level of video editing here. It has been a long time now that I don't see ads that I really enjoy watching. This ones are indeed the exception to that.
- thechitowncubs, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2looks like blender
clueless wins - burke, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I have to admit I wasn't at all impressed with any of these, however, I'm sure something a little further down the line will be better.
- tratch, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Here's the funny thing: In Firefox the images are either flickering really badly (play fine in fullscreen mode) or not loading at all. When I use IE it works like a charm. And I've got a beefy system with a great connection here at home. It's odd.
- MaxWebster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0HAHAHA FF can't even play its on adds correctly
Use Opera instead. It's free, It's faster, It's Stable. - logic, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Uhhhh...they received over 100. These are just the first three.
- TristanTee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I know very smart idea
