Chess news and chess trivia blog (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2010
Hello Everyone,
This is a real funny and creative Thinkbox advertisement. It features a real ‘special’ dog called Harvey. Harvey can do a lot of things like drive the kids to school, check the washing in the machine, iron clothes and more…
The ad features a couple visiting a dogs’ home to choose a pooch to adopt. They see two conventionally lovable dogs using all their considerable charms to sell themselves before they encounter a less obviously cute dog called Harvey, who has a different, smarter approach: He’s made a TV ad!
The soundtrack to the ad is Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s 1974 classic ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet’.
We’d pick Harvey for just one thing… you know what?
Too bad the chess scene is just so fleeting. But then we love to feature all adverts with even a little bit of chess you know.
