‘The Good Guys’ ad from UNICEF Sweden features a dinner party with some faces that should be familar — Jesus, Mother Theresa and Gandhi. The trio compliment each other for the efforts they’ve put forth to do some good in the world.
Then, the do-gooders turn to the end of the table, where an average guy is sitting. When he is pressed for what he did to earn a spot at the table, he simply states he “clicked a banner.”
The clever and cheeky UNICEF ad proves that with a few clicks, being able to make a difference in the world has never been easier. This is just one video in its series of ‘Good Guys’ commercials, which star these four characters in similar situations.
