A while ago on TV there was a show called “World’s Funniest Commercials.” It still might be on from time to time, who knows. True to it’s name, they showed a collection of ads from all over the world. Sometimes they were captioned, sometimes not, but most of the humor could be gained from the visual element alone.
AndroidGuys dug up an Android commercial that could qualify. Originally airing in South Korea, a series of three ads have the Android dancing and acting zany. That got me thinking, and so I searched for more international commercials that might have the green guy. I was disappointed to find none; most commercials either featured a specific phone or spoke about the open idea that is Android.
As I’ve said before, the green guy doesn’t get enough attention. There are currently over 30 different Androids in the world today, running over over four different versions. That’s a lot of potential division, and nothing brings people together in unity better than a mascot. Team Android.
