I like the way it captured the horror experienced by someone forced to watch as their possessions are ripped away from them in a matter of seconds. I also the confused looks on the faces of the three guys as the situation reverses itself. In the recent episode, it provided something of a balance, getting a huge laugh from audiences in stark contrast to the almost sheer silence greeting the ad before it, a Thal Life Insurance exploring the shattered relationship between a father and son, and how a serious road accident presents the father with a possible second chance and a chance to repair the relationship. The accident played in slow motion, making this a poor choice of ad for a programme aimed at highlighting the use of bizarre humour in ads. The 'Twister' advert really is good and makes you wonder, 'If Only...' I recently saw the twister advert on an episode of the BBC series ‘Commercial Breakdown’.
