Nokia: Bruce Lee, Ping Pong



This spot is incredibly fun, though low on product benefit. It was created to advertise a special edition of the product to commemorate Bruce Lee. How can you go wrong with Bruce Lee. There has always been a strange kinship to Bruce Lee in the African American community as I imagine in many other places around the world. The very idea that he could perhaps play a doubles table tennis match alone and with nun chucks is hilarious! Note the cinematography, although it mimics amateur video, it really tells the story. It's very memorable.

Kellebelle, read the article. My man over at multicult classics does an excellent job of covering the hate in the industry. This kind of thing is the reason I started my own shop.
