  Just over the border of Northern Germany in Denmark, there are Fleggaard Markets belonging to the Costco family where you find things a lot cheaper than in Germany. For this commercial, more than 100 skydivers jumped from a transport plane. You can see them in free fall forming the ad text. Labelled "Quite simply the best commercial ever made" by a respected advertising expert.

Ed: NSFW

    Excellent!  Stopped me fretting about the takeover (or not) for a few minutes...

    I was so angry about the objectification of women within that ad I had to watch it twice.

    Who cares about the advert! For a man of mature years I had to put on my other glasses!

    I watched it, but sadly didn't understand the meaning of it.....so I had to watch it again....I got the meaning of it 2nd time but......I was interested in what the plane was....so unfortunately I had to watch it for a third time!
    Oh well at least I know what the plane is now....however can someone tell me what the name of the company was or do I HAVE to watch it again!

    Well, most of those would be ok in the event of parachute failure. Plenty of cushioning.

    I watched and think that’s a very reasonable price for a Siemens washing machine.

    So...

    An advert likely to pi$$ off maybe 50% of the company's potential customers is possibly the best ever?

    Really??

    Oh bugger why did you do that @ralphmilne, you've told me the name of the company now.....I've got to find another reason to watch!!! Damn you!!!  ;)

    AND, the lack of diversity in that advert was disgusting... No consideration of multi-ethnicity, so much gender bias, don't get me started on the transphobia!

    Going for a lie down.

    Can you imagine being the guy cast as the pilot going back home afterwards.

    WIFE: So, how was the shoot? 

    Pilot: Um.... you know. Alright. Nothing interesting....

    Said this man.  It's absolutely appalling and, as said above, likely to piss off a lot of the potential customers.

    My first thought was that is was a sexist advert and I agree entirely with you. I suppose it did achieve its aim and that was to get noticed. It's no different from the old page 3 pictures, which thankfully are no longer considered acceptable.

    My missus wondered what I was laughing at yesterday when I watched the video. I showed her and she also laughed and wasn't pissed off or offended by it in the slightest. In fact, she's bookmarked it and said she'll show her friends it as she believes they'll also find it funny.

    Thankfully women aren't a homogenous group that all think the same way.

    I'm not sure whether this is appropriate in this day and age. I'll keep rewatching it until I've decided.

    Just a Male version of Diet Coke ads. 
    Apparently ok to have men sexualised or  ridiculed as being stupid in adverts these days but heaven forbid if you had an advert with women being thick.
