We’ve seen some strange and/or crazy commercials here on TFTS but get ready for a totally awesome ad from Google Mobile, but one that you’ll never see on TV given that it’s no less than 10 minutes long.
So what is Google selling this time around you’ll naturally ask? Well the point of this ad, called “Google Search with My Location: Pizza” is to show you how easy it is to find specific stuff right near your area by simply searching, typing or speaking, for stuff on your mobile device.
“With Google Mobile you can search for things nearby without entering a location” the guy says before searching for “Pizza”. The phone used is, ironically, an iPhone, to show us how the whole Google Search with My Location service works. He gets various results based on his current location so he’d really have various places to choose from when it comes to pizza. On the other hand, using a non-Android device here is definitely relevant for the whole point, the service should work on any other mobile platform that has Google Mobile support.
So why does he need 10 minutes to prove the point? Well, without wanting to spoil this whole thing for you, let’s just say that Google Mobile is trying to prove that no matter where you are Google Search with My Location works. Either that or the fact that no matter where you are in this world and no matter what you’re doing, there’s always a pizza place right nearby ready to deal with your pizza passion.

The concept of this ad is definitely interesting and pretty original although watching it is really time consuming, not to mention the boredom that quickly installs after the first minute. But if you have 10 minutes of your life to spare you should check it out as I won’t tell you what’s going to happen till the end, although I will warn you that the video hides various surprises along the way. All you have to do is click on them!
