Children's Claritin
White text is overlayed on top of a out-of-focus scene of a kid riding his skateboard in the background. An announcer reads the text to us about how Children's Claritin is safe (unlike some other cough medicines for kids). A transparent page-like effect is pulled across the screen and the background is no longer blurry. It's now in vibrant color, showing a kid flying through the air on his skateboard. Next we see a mom-like person holding some Children's Claritin in her hand, telling us it's safe. A caption reads, "Among leading OTC children's allergy brands." We see more shots of a couple boys riding up the side of a skateboard park, having a great time. Now, we see a close-up shot of a skateboard with Children's Claritin boxes on top of it. A caption reads, "Use as directed.", the mom reads the caption in red at the top. The final shot is a sweeping shot as we move in for a close-up of the mom telling us Children's Claritin is great as she holds it up for us to see. The caption says, "Live Claritin Clear®" above her as she smiles.

Verizon - Bears
We see a group of three young girls walking around inside a building. The wireless phone of the girl in the foreground rings. It's her mom. Mom tells her she needs to be home by five. The girl tries to pretend that the phone connection isn't work by imitating static noises. Her two friends join in. She hold the phone out while her friends make noises, trying to convince her mom. But, mom explains to her that they have Verizon, thus it's not possible for the connection to be bad. We see a shot of the Verizon guy from all those other commercials and behind him are tons of Verizon people, on the stairs and on a second floor balcony. It's a lot of people. The guy waves at the girl when she looks back at them. The girl tries to convince her mom that it's her home phone, but mom says it can't be because they have Verizon at home. We see mom in the kitchen, with all those Verizon people outside the windows. Then, another shot shows tons more Verizon people all around their house. They are wearing white construction hats. The girls pause, not knowing what to say in order to convince mom that they can't hear her and thus can't be home by five. Finally, one of the girls starts making bear noises. The girl on the phone heroically tries to sell the bears thing, but mom just shuts her down. She rolls her eyes and closes he phone, exasperated with her friends for coming up with the lame bear noises. Finally, we see a white/gray screen with red letters. The caption cycles through various phrases as an announcer gives up details: "Unlimited home calling + Wireless service", "$59.99 per month for one year", "Double the Reliability", "Double the Value". Under these message it says, "verizon.com/together 1.888.858.2397" and some small hard to read text under that. Then we see the Verizon logo and, "It's the Network".

Citi - Norway
We see the Citi logo with a ship on the water with clouds and mountains behind it. Then, a shot of a father and son standing by the railing of the ship, happy. Now, the father is next to a young Norwegian man in dress uniform; the son is taking their picture. Next, they are in what appears to be a Viking museum. There is the end of a great yet narrow wooden ship in front of them. We see a Citi-card being give to a bartender and the son brings over some large beers. Then, a close-up shot of a fish head with some sausages. It has been brought to their table. The son pushes it toward the father who has a worried expression on his face. A new shot shows the father and son in a rowboat, some shoreline building are visible behind them. They are both wearing sweaters. Then, they are standing on a ledge with mountains around them and water below in what is probably a fjord. Then a shot of the son watching the father dance around with people wearing traditional clothing. Next, we see father and son walking through the hall or records, with shelves and bookcases everywhere. As the view one of the books, they have a look of disappointed or surprise. They are not Norwegian, but Swedish. They are back at the shore again, buying tickets to Stockholm, Sweden with the Citicard. The father smiles. The final shot shows the ship on th water again. We see "What's your story? We'll help you write it" and a picture of a silver Citi card. This rotates into a Citi logo with a "let's get it done" slogan under it and "citicards.com" in the bottom corner.

So, I asked my dad where he wanted to go for his 60th birthday. Norway, he said, the land of our ancestors. We drank a pint an Ibsen's favorite pub. We sampled the local fare. We got new sweaters. I feel like yodeling. It was the trip of a lifetime, my dad said, until we went to the hall of records and discovered we were actually Swedish. Two tickets to Stockholm please. Whatever your story is, your Citi-card can help you write it. Citi, let's get it done.
Advair
We see a middle-aged woman in a green turtleneck sweater with reading glasses hanging from her neck. She's talking to us in a concerned tone about her health problems. The mood lightens as she hold up Advair in her hand and we're shown a close-up of the round, two-tone purple Advair dispenser. A caption reads, "Results may vary.". Another reads, "ADVAIR DISKUS 250/50 (fluticasone propionate 250 mcg and salmeterol 50 mcg inhalation powder)". We zoom into the Diskus and see the woman playing with a young girl, blowing bubbles. Another caption reads, "ADVAIR 250/50 is approved for COPD with chronic bronchitis". The next shot is taken from high in a tree, looking down on kids playing. A rope swing is visible. A captions now reads, "Available by prescription only." Next, we see a shot of the little girl breaking a piñata open; candy spills onto the green grass as the woman (grandma) laughs excitedly. We see a full shot of them blowing bubbles again, the caption says, "ADVAIR Helps Improve Lung Function". A shot of the Advair Diskus against a circular purple gradient background. The caption: "ADVAIR Workds Differently". Next up, an animated image of a torso showing the lungs breath. Lines radiating out show ADVAIR working. The caption is now, "It is not known how anti-inflammatories work in COPD." Large captions spring out that say, "anti-inflammatory bronchodilator", then merge and disappear. The lower caption now says, "Maximum effect may take several weeks." We're back to the overhead, through tree branch view of the kids sitting in a circle with grandma. The caption, "ADVAIR won't replace fast-acting inhalers." then "Use ADVAIR only twice a day, every day." Granda seems to be reading a story to the kids (all girls wearing tutus). More moving shots of grandma and the girls stream by with a caption that reads, "Ask your healthcare provider or call 1-877-330-COPD." The little girl spins a dragonfly craft item at a table with grandma. We're back outside and the caption is, "Please see our ad in Health Magazine." A man is taking their picture now. We see a close-up of two girls and grandma behind them, with a caption that says, "Ask about the risks and benefits of continuing ADVAIR after 6 months." The final shot with the kid shows grandma and the little girl sharing a big comfy chair, saying nice things to each other. They hug. Then, we see grandma (who must dye her hair brown) framed by the Advair diskus container zooming in on her, and we're back to the shot of the Advair diskus against the purple background. Strong white lettering says, "Helps improve lung function for better breating." then "First Full Prescription Free.* ADVAIRcopd.com *Subject to eligibility."

I have COPD with chronic bronchitis, which makes it hard to breath. But, now that I'm breathing better with Advair, today I can have fun with my granddaughter. For people with COPD with chronic bronchitis, great news. ADVAIR helps significantly improve lung function. While nothing can reverse COPD, Avair is different than other medications because it's the only product with an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help you breath better. Advair wont replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. Lung infections, including pneumonia have been reported with Advair. Taking Advair may increase your risk for osteoporosis and some eye problems. Tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking Adviar. And ask about the risks and benefits of continuing Advair after six months. I'm glad you came, grandma. Me too. Ask your doctor how Advair improves lung function for better breathing. Find out how to get your first full prescription free at ADVAIRcopd.com .

A train moves along between a blue lake and blue cloudy sky with snowy mountains in the background. We see a blurry blonde woman wipe two fingers across a window, clearing the area in front of her perfect teeth. Now, we see her looking out the window of the train. She's happy yet wistful. The train moves along through a snowy mountain pass. She clears more of the window with her arm. Next, we see a box of Crest Whitestrips Premium in her bag. It says "whitestrips.com" in a caption nearby. We see the beautiful blonde woman looking out the window, she seems something. The train is pulling into her stop. Two younger people are excited and running next to the train. We see her smile, wow she's a knockout. Through the blurry, frost-laden window, we see the two kids happily bouncing around.

Corolla
A woman in a dark gray suit is walking toward us through a car showroom. She stops at the end of a long ramp, with 4 cars on platforms behind her. The caption reads "AIR CONDITIONING, AM/FM CD PLAYER, ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM" as she says "features that come standard". A side shot of a silver Corolla is shown with "37 MPG/HIGHWAY" above it. In small text under the car it says, "2008 EPA highway estimate for Corolla with 5-speed manual trans. Actual mileage many vary."

Fiber Choice
A woman wakes up in bed to her buzzing alarm. A bran muffin is next to the alarm clock. After she turns off the alarm, she takes a bit of the bran muffin. Next, a woman at a desk pulls a raw carrot (with stem) out and chews on it as she reads some work papers. Next we see her in a car dropping off her kids with broccoli in her mouth. A soccer ball is visible on the passenger seat. Now she's at the gym on a treadmill eating an apple. She checks her watch as the voice-over narrator asks, "what else would you have time for?" We cut to a scene of a bottle of Fiber Choice dropping 2 large flat pills into a hand. One is light green the other is light purple. A caption reads, "USE AS DIRECTED". A shot of the Fiber Choice bottle is show with the text "180 Grams" on the right. The bottle says, "Chewable Tablets Most Fiber > Sugar Free Assorted Fruit". Another shot shows the Fiber Choice bottle next to a growing stack of 3 generic fiber bottles on the right. Next is a close-shot of the "plus Calcium" bottle. We pan back to see it next to a 14oz glass of milk. The 2 pills are next to it, looking very small in comparison. The final show shows both Fiber Choice bottles with "The Smart Choice® www.fiberchoice.com" about them. In the background is the office setting, out of focus.

*alarm buzzes* Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? To get the 25-30 grams of daily fiber recommend for on-going good health, what else would you have time for? That's why there's great tasting Fiber Choice, the chewable fiber supplement. Each bottle contains 180 grams of fiber. You'd need more than 3 bottles of fiber pills at 3 times the price to get the same amount. And, now try Fiber Choice plus calcium, with as much calcium as 14oz of milk in each dose. Fiber Choice, original and Plus Calcium chewable tablets.
Meningitis
We see a lined page with cursive text on it (looks like a paper on the American Revolution). At the top of the page is a doodle which is animated and growing as we pan off the side of the page. We pan over to a picture of a flower. The flower wilts and we see its roots grow downward. There is a manacing aspect to the dark blue and green roots. They overlap then we zoom in to see the word, "MENINGITIS". A caption below reads, "There are approximately 3,000 cases of Meningococcal Disease nationwide each year and 21 cases per 100,000 adolescents." The roots continue to grow off the letters of MENINGITIS, then thick roots are drawn over it. Next, a dawn image of a soda can flies onto the scene, spinning. It falls over and spills out more doodles. Then we see a doodle that says, "i
Jason", the message of I love Jason is repeated on the page a few times. Then our page becomes a paper airplane and it flies over to a couple student desk chairs. The two chairs are pushed close together. We fly off with the paper airplane and another plane joins in until they crash together into a doodle explosion that changes into more flowing doodles. It's kind of psychedlic. We then see a shield come over and then a couple arrows hit the shield and they bend and bounce off. We scroll down to a final shot that says, "Don't leave them unprotected" in blocky outlined letters. Under that, it says, "fightmeningitis.com 1-888-580-7888 Brought to you as a public health service by sanofi pasteur".Transcript
Adolescence is a time of great expression and curiosity. Unfortunately, it's also the time when teenagers are at risk for contracting Meningococcal Meningitis. It's a rare but life-threatening disease that's contageous and can potentially be spread by sharing soft drinks, kissing, or just being in close contact. Help keep these times the best times. Ask your doctor about ways to prevent Meningitis. Don't leave them unprotected.
Proactiv
We see a white shiny image of 3 Proactiv bottle (2 white, 1 green, 1 shorter). In the background is a faucet, implying that we're in a bathroom. A caption reads, "Good News from Proactiv® Solution". Then, we start to see a series of before and after photos of people who had acne or pimples, but then took Proactiv and now their skin is clear. Then, there's a shot of the Proactiv Refining mask tube with the caption, "FREE Refining Mask". We see it with the other 3 Proactiv bottles now. We see someone squeezing a dab of Proactiv Solution Refining Mask on to a finger. We see more before/after images. In a corner it says, "Results may vary". We see a handsome young man with dark hair applying some Proactiv to a spot on his face. Then, we see his before/after pictures, with a caption that says, "Speed and degree of clearing vary". We see a quick shot of him looking excited as he tells us it's a good feeling. Then, a woman is shown telling us how great Proactiv is. We see, "Guthy Renker" in a caption. This is not the woman's name, but the name of the company that markets Proactiv. There's a shot of a woman on the phone, ordering Proactiv. The bottom of the screen now has a segmented banner that has the website (proactiv.com), CALL NOW!, and 1-800-234-4476. We see a few more before and after pictures.
