10 Funny Matrix Commercials

I put together ten funny commercials that are Matrix-style or Matrix-like, referencing the famous Matrix trilogy - so these are no trailers for Matrix movies but commercials, real adverts. I made this video because the Matrix 4 trailer came out. I thought that would be the perfect moment for a video like this. Originally, I wanted to do a video with Keanu Reeves commercials only but I discovered that he didn't star in so many commercials in the first place, so I almost dropped the idea. Then a very good friend of mine asked me, why not make a video about the Matrix commercials, and I realized, that's a freaking good idea - so thank you very much, dear Manuela!

There were two problems with making this video: 1. Matrix came out in 1999 before we all had internet and before there was Youtube - that's why many commercials are not available online and when they are, they are of poor quality. 2. There are only a few commercials with Keanu Reeves and none of them is referencing his role resp. his character as Neo - so I included him in the video but only at the end, after the 10 commercials, as bonus material, as some of you may already know from my other videos.

I hope you enjoy the commercials. Tell me in the comments which one is your #1, I will include your vote in the ranking at the end of this text and below the video to see which commercial people like the most. Thank you very much for watching!

These ads are included:

1. GE General Electric, "Agent of Good" with the amazing Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith, Agent Smith, Agent Smith, etc.

2. MTC, "Russian Matrix" or "Matrix Russia" by Forte Grey Belarus for the network provider

3. Samsung, "Samsung Matrix Phone" (Answer the call)

4. Samsung, "Samsung Rotating Camera Phone"

5. Samsung, "Samsung Matrix commercial" for the 40 inch LLCD Flat Panel TV with an agent (Welcome to the new Dimension)

6. Kia, "The Truth", the famous Super Bowl 2014 commercial with the genius Laurence Firshburne as Morpheus

7. Kia, "Morpheus Commercial" with the "Woman in Red" for the Lane Departure Warning System for the K900 from 2014

8. Plenty, "Brenda", a Matrix-style advert from 2009 for the British version of Bounty (One sheet does plenty)

9. Pepsi Max "Matrix" or "Fight", also called "Matrix Parody"- that one is an amazing commercial with an act of black theater, very well produced, tricky and funny but it's also very old, so the quality is bad

10. Kia, "Game Day" a teaser from 2014 by David&Goliath El Segundo - I love this one because Laurence Fishburne is so great and it's actually a nice parody of the whole genre

11. Cyberpunk 2077, "No Limits" with Keanu Reeves

12. Squarespace, "Should You Make A Website" with Keanu Reeves Arch Motorcycle (Make it Squarespace"

13. Kellogg's, Corn Flakes Commercial from 1987 with the young Keanu Reeves - who would have known, John Wick would eat his cereals shaved?
