100 reasons this Diet Coke commercial from 1995 is the best commercial of all time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-a6-cMBj2s

1. That key change

2. It manages to pack a great deal of feeling and sentiment and power into such little time; this 30 seconds feels like an eternity of emotion

3. The woman dancing in front of the coffee shop at :02-:03 is *clearly* green-screening it. Those feet are not touching that sidewalk; they could have at least tried to throw in a shadow

4. Debra Messing giggling and drinking her Diet Coke while being sprayed with a fire hydrant

5. Dude just levitating for no reason

6. That harmony of "DII-II-ET COKE" at :16-:18 is so transcendent and uplifting

7. The way that dude at :05-:06 just like fades into the frame out of nowhere. Where did he come from? Where is he going?

7. So you're in a weird desert and some super wacky bus has just dropped you off in the middle of nowhere. What do you do?

Dance.

Oops I meant 8.

9. The woman at :11-:13, that look, that slow blink. It is so all-knowing, so calm, so zen. This woman is like the goddess of the universe looking into your soul and telling you to be at peace with the world. She gets it, and you can get it too, with Diet Coke

10. The manner in which the choir singer at the end abruptly fades into the frame

11. "just for the test of it......eh-HEH......diet coke"

Damnit that was going to be my next one!

12. The way the choir singer smiles, glances downward, and closes her hands as she dances

^^ this one is my favorite btw

13. The gap in her teeth. It is really beautiful

14. That cop and the way he sort of epitomizes 90's Hot

15. The intense look he gives after he sips his Diet Coke, as if to say "YEAH!"

16. Pretty much everyone in this video and the way they sort of epitomize 90's Hot

17. That couple at :10-:11 is really attractive, like they maybe used to party a little too hard and do a little too much speed but they quit while they were ahead. They like to sit at home and watch Richard Linklater films and listen to Sugar. They're talking to their friends about starting up a record label. It'll only last a couple of years, but they'll look back when they're older and realize they did something meaningful with themselves. They had dreams and they made them a reality.

18. Competent and effective use of fisheye lens w/o being excessive

19. The Diet Coke can juggler: he knows what he's doing, he knows those things are going to explode when he opens them, but he doesn't care. He lives life on the edge, and so can you. With Diet Coke.

Yo this commercial is the best / fuiud

20. That upside-down shot of the guy doing the handstand is a pretty great shot!
