If you’re a big LOST fan like me, your mind is probably still hemorraging from last week’s season finale. If you haven’t seen it yet, don’t worry, I won’t give anything away :). I’ll just say it was the best episode all season, yet despite this, one of the shining moments came during the commercial break.
I’m talking about the MasterCard “Priceless” spot featuring three grade-school kids dancing to “We want the funk.” If you follow this blog, you’ll know I’m not a fan of spending ridiculous amounts of money to make TV spots. But this, as they so commonly say, was just good television. It had me laughing uncontrollably and wishing I had a DVR.
Even more shocking is that two days later, the video’s still not on YouTube. It’s not on MasterCard’s Priceless.com site either, nor is it on any of the online commercial archives. The best I could find was a handheld-cam-recorded clip of the 15-second spot.
All of a sudden, I’m (like many others) obsessing over this commercial. I went to the extent of emailing my friend at Mccann. Somebody get on this! The clock on this viral time-bomb is ticking…
[update] Here it is!
You are my HERO! I’ll have to swap out my crappy version with this fabulous one!
Haha, glad I could help! Your handheld-cam version was enough to tide me over for a while :)
ROFL!
Thank you SO much for having this - I JUST saw the commercial while watching some late-night telly and I laughed so hard, I almost fell off my futon! Instantly I began searching for it everywhere and you’re right - it really is nowhere.
Thanks again!
How can I download this from your site? I love this commercial and the unabashed sense of freedom of expression. Reminds me of my 4 year old.
Thanks!
I don’t have access to the file right now, but I’ll try to post it next week.
Thanks Jack!
I wasn’t going to stop until I found it. Thank you, I think I was a little obsessed too! It’s the best!
I am so glad that someone out there was obsessing over this commercial as much as i was.. And I was floored that is was nowhere on the internet which in this day and age is a feat…
I LOVE it! The first time I saw this about a week ago I laughed so hard and ever since I’ve been waiting for this to run again….finally I found it here…I think I’ve worn it out already….thanks for posting it.
Hello Jack, any luck with the file format of the MasterCard Commercial “We Want The Funk”? Thanks, John

Thanks, Jack
It took me 20 minutes to find your version of this commercial. Couldn’t believe it wasn’t on the official Priceless website. This one is the best ever.
Jack, would like to upload this. No longer available on sendspace. Can you help with this?
Thanks…I searched for an hour for this tonite…it is so my middle son
Would like to know if anyone knows when this clip was produced and where?
Jack.
Can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE re-load the mastercard commercial? I want to put it on my phone. I can’t find it anywhere that will let me download it.
