84 Lumber (which they were too chicken to show properly) was the best.

The Full Journey (5min 44 secs)

I heard they had to trim it to be acceptable for airing on that channel.

I can't imagine there would be a time slot lasting 4:55 to show the whole video. Isn't 30 seconds costing 3 million $? Plus, isn't the "watch the whole video" a tactic to get people to go to the site? Seems to have worked.
That wasn't the issue. They had a version ready to go. Fox thought it was too controversial so they made them trim out the depiction of the wall.

We ended up watching from the second qtr. on and the 84 Lumber ad was the best of the night. Their link
to the end was bogged down. Watched The Entire Journey, on YouTube, very powerful message that I'm
sure not everyone got or wanted to get.

I think this comment said it best:

"Well, the ad is supporting something illegal, which probably wasn't a smart idea. But the message here is beautiful. Not all illegal immigrants come to just sell drugs and make money, there's a big percent that come here because Mexico is in shambles and America has endless opportunities. I believe that the only way for America to be great again is for us to stop caring so much about ourselves and help toward the greater good and make countries in need great. Even though we are UNITED States of AMERICA, we need to make sure we humans are ALL united as equals. If only our world leaders could understand that if we were united we could get anything done.?"

Jeez, I loved the two T-Mobile 50 Shades takeoffs with Kristen Schall...but I think she's hilarious in just about anything.

bfd didn't laff at any of them. The "message" ones were OK, but none of them was more than a 6 on the WOW-meter. The overall quality of these commercials just seemed barely above satisfactory to poor. For the amount of money that was spent on them, you'd think there would be at least a few keepers. "Hero's Journey" was just painfully stupid - and it's the highest rated commercial. Of course, one needs only look at national - never mind. No need to get this kicked over the wall. LOL
