Commercials of my life

By Ella Oudhof

  • My birthday

  • Movie : Brother Bear

    Movie : Brother Bear
    The commercial for this movie showed up on tv and DVDs. It always stood out to me because of the intense colors and unique storyline.

  • Kruidvat

    Kruidvat
    a Dutch retail, pharmacy, and drugstore chain. The jingle is very well known, my family and I would sing it when it came along. It has become iconic in the Netherlands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwz1kh1C-KM

  • Citroen

    A car company. I remember this commercial because we were thinking of buying one. All of their commercials had these extreme techno features, which really stood out to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhtGBaEOEVs

  • Peek-a-boos

    Peek-a-boos
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwl6_MGR5qY
    This isn't the exact commercial I remember, but it is similar. It shows children playing with these cuddly toys. It is a very simple but effective way of evoking warm emotions in kids.

  • Toffifee

    Toffifee
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r_OZq51qWo It was a very family- advertised commercial. It gave a warm, positive atmosphere to it.

  • Nespresso

    Nespresso

    This commercial is very memorable to me. A piano falls on George Clooney, but he cheats death by giving 'God' his newly bought Nespresso. The brand continues to create humorous commercials, which have become very iconic.

  • Calve pindakaas

    This commercial is very well-known in the Netherlands, having won an award. It shows a small boy eating the peanut butter and suddenly being really good at football https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xI-jW1TqCRI

  • McDonalds

    McDonalds
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCdjCHGwbGI
    This is my favorite McDonalds commercial. It shows a man looking back at his entire life, eating McDonald's. It implies a strong relationship this brand has with society, which immediately makes it more relatable to the audience. It evokes warm familiarity.

  • Telfort

    Telfort
    Telfort is a Dutch mobile telecommunication company. This company used a series of commercials based around the same family, and the father became very iconic. is a Dutch mobile telecommunication company

  • Hazards of smoking

    Hazards of smoking
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhuHeI4H00U This is a well-made hazard-ad. It doesn't focus on the impact it has on the smoker, but tackles the effects it has on children around the smoker. This is much more effective because it is usually a stronger reason to quit smoking. It evokes guilt.

  • Pearle opticiens

    Pearle opticiens
    The commercials in the netherlands for Pearle were always very funny and I would talk to people about them.
    The jingle is also very catchy. (Pearle, pearle, PEARLE)

  • Koninklijke Peijnenburg

    This is a very dutch cookie brand. I remember it a lot becuase my mum used to make fun of it. It was also on Tv a lot.

  • Phishing Patrouille

    This ad used to be around a lot. It was to raise awareness on internet thieves. The jingle is very catchy - the translation is 'hang up, klick away, call the bank'.

    KPN is a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company. The commercial showed a teen holiday romance, using their translating tool.
