You’ll Never Go Parasailing Again

Sorry, gave away the ending of this funny new Dutch insurance commercial.

Since about 1988, Centraal Beheer, part of The Netherlands biggest insurance group, has been producing these “Just call us” spots. While they’re not the funniest insurance spots ever (I prefer a couple of the Geico cavemen commercials), they do have a certain charm to them—and I like the complete lack of voiceover.

This is their latest commercial, released this week.
Very nice casting on the douchey guy.

Ad agency: DDB, Amsterdam

Two of their past spots below, including a banned Adam & Eve themed one—you’ll quickly understand why it was banned.
