Not much is known from what I’ve been able to dig up, other than the fact that these videos seem to have everyone that sees them pretty emotional afterwards.

Take a look at a couple, if nothing else, you may feel life is a little more beautiful afterwards. If there’s a sales pitch to be found here, it’s definitely more subtle than the HEAD-ON commercials we get over here.

The Mother, The Baby, And Dying Father

Leukemia - Marry Me

My Son

My Girl

Grandpa

Grandma

I think my favorites were the first, second, and fourth ones. But all of them were really touching. Probably one of the few commercials I’d actually send around to family so they could watch too.

But those are really good commercials. Too bad they’re all for insurance companies….which are Satan incarnate.

These commercials are absolutely beautiful and heart breaking. I wish we had commercials like that here.
