Love this add . Exactly what crypto has done last year just rolling down and down . It never stops 😀.
Do you like this subtract though?
@@dsp4392 the fuck does that even mean 💀
Have fun staying poor.
Oh yes, sir.
Pfff jajajajajajaja
You guys are always laughing too early
"Shes super smart. She got me into shoes ..." lol.
This is the only commercial I dont skip through on CZcams... good one
Don't care for the product but this commercial was actually pretty funny.
Yo this is one of the best ad I’ve ever seen
I agree! It’s a great commercial. I have not seen it on TV here in the states though. Maybe in Canada?
How are Bored Apes and Bitcoin supposed to be the future
Also the comment section alone shows you how many scams are associated with it. Don’t know if this bot is still around but if there was any mention of Bitcoin, a bunch of bots would make a fake conversation about how great Bitcoin was, it was obviously just a bunch of bots. This comment section is also filled with a bunch of bots
It really is a funny add, I love and have shared it with a few people but...
I have the say the best add I've ever see is this one from Honda, done almost 2 decades ago.
czcams.com/video/lxHulo8vX8s/video.html
So clever and I think it took them over 700 tires to make this work.
This is by far the greatest ad I’ve ever seen. This is Super Bowl-level advertising.
LOL actually a funny ad, Love it! nice and clever!
I’m not into Cryptocurrency, but this is a fantastic commercial. Give this person a raise.
Its terrible? They're comparing a fad technology to one of the like top ten most important human inventions and trying to mock sensible people that invest their money in actual investments not shitcoins
The only ad I never “skip” on CZcams. So clever, pleasant and hilarious
how about you "skip" this RATIO

Had to come here to see what the comments would be like. This is one of the funniest and best-produced ads I've ever seen. The dialogue, the setting, the production values, the acting - hilarious. I still keep watching the full ad almost every time it airs.
I'm not so sure about crypto - that's a separate issue. But what an ad!
Hahaha so you are the guy saying “ponzi scheme”…. This is hands down the best ad I’ve ever seen. It 100% nailed all the noise in the space. I’m all in on crypto and I’ve been telling everyone to get involved (not just by throwing money at it). Spend some time researching it.. it’s a game changer for sure. Watch videos by Cathy wood (arc investment), Raou Paul, Keven O’Leary, Michael Saylor (he is an absolute animal in this space)… Don’t be like the guys on the sidelines shouting at the innovators.. Good luck Rob! I appreciate you my friend..
@@cg7942 Rich people investing in it? Like they don’t have enough money already. And what is crypto? It’s not regulated by a government or anything, it’s anonymous, this sounds like a dream to them! They’re not looking to benefit the little guy, they only care about profiting for themselves and their rich friends.
@@robo_t I understand your skepticism. I had the same doubts. It’s not about getting “rich” (but there is an opportunity to make money). To me, it’s about the changes that are coming. And true, they aren’t looking out for the little guy but when have they ever?? Governments are starting to regulate it. Some have already made it legal tender, El-Salvador, Brazil and Mexico soon. Even Ukraine, in the middle of an invasion, made it possible for its citizens to accept bitcoin (this is actually one of the biggest arguments for Bitcoin). And I don’t think the “rich” would risk everything (their companies, personal wealth, reputation) if they didn’t understand what they were investing in.. Have you put in some time to study and understand Bitcoin, Crypto, web3 (serious question)? If you do/did and still think it’s a scam I’d love to talk about it with you. Either way, I hope for only good things for you and your family.
Best add I've seen in 8 years . Well done guys
What was the best one 8 years ago?
@@danielbakke421 fr
Genuinely funny, clever and entertaining, a bit hyperbolic to relate crypto currency to one of the most fundamental mechanical concepts ever discovered though.
I wouldn’t be surprised if cryptobros actually believe that it is.
@@robo_t oh no they clearly do lmao its like watching cavemen discover fire screaming and pounding their chests only fire is useful
It's an analogy doofus, it's not meant to be a 1:1 comparison.
I just came here to say this is one of the best commercials I've seen in a long time. Extremely creative.
Love this ad. Hope Wealthsimple does a series of them. Spot on!
+1 It's rare I see a CZcams ad and then look it up to watch it again.
Most quotable commercial in a long daamn time, that was hilarious WS. Please bring back funny commercials !👍
this is one of the best ads ever! lol even got me to look it up
Best 60 secs of communication I can remember. Encapsulates large portions of my professional experience. Thank you for comic therapy… poor Duffy!
That's a brilliant ad. I love it, I love Wealthsimple
Best ad I’ve ever seen on youtube
I was honestly enjoying this commercial when I saw it on TV, then learned it was for Crypto, and lost all respect.
When it started getting into “ponzi scheme” and “fad” it became obvious. You already see NFTs are losing interest, the only people who are pushing this are rich people who trade it amongst themselves, and get more wealth out of people that they don’t need
Haha, so you missed the boat? Don't be salty, it's not too late to get onboard. All cryptos are down. Only way from here is up.
@@dsp4392 Nope, why go on an unstable boat that could easily sink. Plus it’s only for rich people anyway, they make it seem like it’s for everyone but really, they just want more profit than they already have
@@dsp4392 "GET ON THIS SINKING SHIP, IT CAN'T POSSIBLY GO DOWN ANY MORE!" This is your brain on crypto...
This ad was funny enough that I looked it up to share with people after seeing it before a completely different video. A+ ad. "Where would we even put that other wheel?" 🤣🤣👍👌
LMAO....me too!!! Such a good commercial!
IT'S - JUST - SO - GEWD !!! I must have watched this 50+ & I'll be back for more! Nexo for life but this ad is my favorite ad across time & space.. hands down 😹
I would love to see some sort of show/ sitcom like this
there was a movie with jack black
That would be epic
This is a good ad, even if I don't agree with what it's saying, keep it up!
What dont you agree with? Basically everything evolves this way, you have innovators and the nay sayers..
Cars will never replace horses…
Internet is a fad and has no use..
Online shopping will never work…
Don’t be those guys on the sidelines yelling at innovation. Change is scary but necessary..
I came here to see the ad again. It inspires me in many ways it's a piece of art
Best ad I've seen in long time.
This is better than that old spice commercial
I just want to say this ad is actually the most well crafted iv ever seen in my life.. I had to laugh it was so genius. The creators are royalty at their craft.
Fantastic ad, well done Wealthsimple. I don't use you for crypto, I do for Trade and Invest' much respect for how to do the latter two. And I love how you plug Crypto.
This ad made me actually want to see in HD
Long time I haven’t seen a commercial THIS Good ! Marketing team’s unreal! 🔥🔥
I usually skip ads faster than you could swat a pesky mosquito!
But this ad is simply Pure Genius! 🧠 ⚡
What we as One 🌎 can accomplish!
"The Future is right in front of us, if you are ready for it" ❤ 💎
The rich people are using that to make it seem like it’s for everyone. But if you look at NFTs (close enough to crypto anyway) it’s rich people trading with each other, selling to themselves, making it seem like there’s interest in them because of these transactions, but it’s all crap. Also, the actual use of this technology could be better, but instead people are using it only for profit, and they don’t hide it, they’re greedy people. Don’t think the rich are on your side, they aren’t, at all
Salute to this one. Best ad I've seen in my 30 plus years watching TV. Can't stop 😂🤣💀
0:07 when the chicken cross the roll😂
I love this ad so much
Love it. Watch it every time and chuckle. "it's even rollier."
I remember watching this ad over and over again and thinking "what an arrogant, asinine way to sell an obvious scam". Now I actlvely search for this ad for all the feelings of schadenfreude it provides me. I would like to offer a belated "thank you" to whoever made this ad for the (very much unintentional) comedy it gave us *chef's kiss*.
Great ad.
This ad is amazing
This ad is so clever. This may make its way into my on-boarding training videos at my company.
This is a great ad!
5.7 million views and only 278 likes + bots in the replies, very classy Wealthsimple
I'm one of those cavemen who "doesn't get into shoes early" and won't get into crypto. HOWEVER - this ad is incredible, so props to the team. I sat through the whole pop-up!
Get those shoes on jerry! It’ll make for a more comfortable life..
@@cg7942 A more comfortable life for the big guy, getting far more money than they actually need. Not to mention all the actual crypto and NFT scams that people fall for which cause them to lose their money. Also, doesn’t it fluctuate easily, a single tweet from someone big can change the prices. Like that’s totally stable
Yes you're like one of the people on the sidelines in this video. You'll be buying bitcoin eventually.
Its one of the best ad ever seen after a long time. Bravo good job guys brilliant ad. I also loved Nolan cheddar ad, Stratos ad and bmv shooting the worlds fastest car lol.
This is one of the best commercials I've seen in the past decade !! Kudos to whoever wrote and directed !!
This commercial didn't age quite so well.
best ad
Top shelf job 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best ad I've ever seen
This is one of the smartest ad campaigns I've ever seen. If they don't do others along the same theme, it would be throwing bitcoin down the toilet.
The first wheel was made In Mesopotamia 4000 years ago and they were already a stabil civilisation it was made of wood for chariots and everybody embraced it
“That seems dumb” said everyone, at first. 13+ years later, Bitcoin is still dumb and is burning down more forests than ever to generate Chuck E. Cheese tokens
Charles Entertainment Cheese (but on the Internet, so you know it's serious business)
@@andrewkoster6506 😹Awesome 😂
Bitcoin burns far less trees than cash, credit cards, and banks.
Also the USD, EUR, JPY and others have all lost 10% of their purchasing power over the last year, on top of their usual 3%, and you dare to call Bitcoin Chuck E Cheese tokens?
Quit talking, you're embarrassing yourself.
@@dsp4392 Bitcoin burns more energy than Thailand. This is a fact, which you deny because you are trying to sell your bag to a sucker.
Best commercial out there by FAR. Saw it on tv, came here to watch it again. Good job Wealthsimple.
This add cracks me up. Give your marketing team a raise
Brilliant! 💯🇨🇦
THE AD IS AMAZING
They invented the wheel? Wow...
This should be a comedy series called Humans lmao
Very good advertising
“Ponzi scheme. Fad.” Prophetic!
change is bad alright, you guys went from an actual banking app, to cryptobros. also cryptocurrency destroys the environment.
I hate WealthSimple, but this add is dope ! Reminds me about RRRRRRR !!! , a french movie by Alain Chabat
Yeah, this isn't aging well.
Fad, Ponzi schemes.... hahahaha that's Brilliant masterfully crafted from beginning to end.
I have become my grade 8 teacher looking up ads on youtube.
Great ad bruh
My name is SBF and I endorse this message.
Great timing, lol
This commercial has aged like fine wine. It turns out cryptocurrencies, which seemed dumb to the casual observer, were in fact dumb. This was by design; their obvious flaws presented a litmus test for sifting out anyone not credulous enough to believe that unregulated blockchain technology could be at all trusted.
Sometimes the truth's right in front of your, if you're ready for it.
I still love this commercial. Considering BTC is up about 70% from a year ago, I wonder if people that laughed back in 2022 will change their minds. They are the detractors laughing in the ad at others learning to use the wheel. The next bull run has already started.
Wheel wasn’t even invented in paleolithic era 💀
This was awesome
Good ad but incomplete. why just buy a share of 21 million stone wheel? Make your own wheels.
>doing crypto
>progress
Does anyone know the sound that is used at 0:04. Mainly the background sound. Is that apart of a music video because I want to knoe since it sounds so nice. If anyone knows the name of the video please let me known in the comments.

“Ponzi Scheme” I died lol, now this is what you call great marketing
There are a ton of actual scams tho
Have you ever seen an ad for money?
Shoes are to blame !! Trump n Shoes !
Since the wheel is not a ponzi scheme, crypto is definitely not! Just ask LUNA!
Anybody know the song playing in the background??
“The world of finance hails the invention of the wheel over and over again, often in a slightly more unstable version.”
-John Kenneth Galbraith
And not made of rocks.
Wheels didn't cause detriment to the world when invented. And today, wheels don't fucking waste tons of electricity nor cause the scalping of graphics cards and other computer parts.
Amazing 🤣🤣🤣
Ingenious. So proud to have Wealthsimple be a leading Canadian platform. Advertising, UI (and general) design, transparency - world class. An absolute stellar company
Who is the actor that narrates at the end? I let sounds like such a distinct voice
The voice at the end ruins an otherwise great commercial.
why are there all these fake comments 0.o
while the ad gave me a good laugh, and i don't deny that crypto can work as a currency, it's what they allow that grinds my gears: NFTs. crypto isn't the fad, NFTs are. if a server crashed, a physical painting wouldn't just vanish from circulation. not to mention, most NFTs are ugly as heck, do you seriously think Bored Apes, Axies or Crypto punks would look good as paintings? they are just another "rich get richer" scheme, and if people would just stop buying them, the whole scheme would crumble.
NFTs are weird right now, but there is a lot you don't understand, which is I guess the point of the ad. NFTs are not just about the rich getting richer. They potentially provide new pathways for artists of all kinds to make money without middlemen stealing profits or dictating things. NFTs are stored on decentralized storage so there is no server that can go down. As long as the internet works, you're good. And NFTs don't have to just be jpegs. They could be virtual environments, or deeds to (real life) property, or a membership card, or things we don't even imagine right now. You have a lot to learn my friend!
@@mdoerkse You sound like such a pretentious douche.
@@mdoerkse While the intended use for NFTs does seem better, it really seems like it’s the Bored Ape type NFTs that are thriving, and that it can really be exploited. You see a lot of art being stolen as sold as NFTs, you see a bunch of scams, rug pulls and such. Some of the intended uses on their own also don’t seem that good tbh, people are pushing for NFTs in video games, but really it just seems like glorified microtransactions and skins that don’t add much value, except cosmetic. And besides NFTs, crypto seems exploitable too, it can be hacked too, exploitable too, though it’s more practical than NFTs from what I’ve seen
@@robo_t To me it makes a lot of sense to use NFTs for in game items, because you can actually USE them in that virtual environment, whereas what are you really buying when you buy a jpeg that anybody else can also see. If owning the NFT gives you some intellectual property rights then that makes a bit more sense. For example, I heard that if you own a Bored Ape you own the rights to that particular ape to be used anywhere. And Coinbase is actually developing some animated series for the Bored Ape Yacht Club. 🤷🏼♂️ Or imagine if you bought an NFT of a song and you were able to earn a portion of the revenue for that song wherever it is played.
Sure there can be scams and rug pulls and stuff. Isn't that just life? Buyer beware. It's the Wild West out there right now. Sometimes there are even hacks, but that tends to be for exchanges or particular wallets or newly developed crypto projects. It tends to be the smaller and newer stuff. Bitcoin itself has never been hacked. Most cryptocurrencies have never been hacked.
I've been using crypto since 2016 and I only got burned once. Perhaps you heard about the QuadrigaCX exchange. I had some Bitcoin on there but nobody realized how shady that exchange was. I shouldn't have left my crypto sitting on the exchange, I was lazy, and it was the Wild West, like I said. But I'm grateful now that crypto is available through companies like Wealthsimple that are completely legit and backed up by insurance, and now you can transfer the crypto from WS to your own private wallet.
Nyc
the punchline is that they unironically advocate crypto
Song?
Sorry Dougie !!!
Crypto, NFTs, Earth 2 - its all the same imaginary bullshit with arbitrary value built on a house of cards waiting to fall, and I look forward to that day.
Me too, it will be so satisfying to say “I told you so” 🤣
Web3 is an awful idea
I'm no physicist but isn't it idiotic to make wheels out of rocks because they are heavy? Isn't that why they were always made of wood?
So you know the word roll but you don’t know how it’s moving huh
Who’s the voice at the end? Recognize it but can’t put my finger on it.
