Lost Commercials Foundation

What is the Lost Commercials Foundation? @fortesque91 explains: youtube.com/watch?v=vTblVi…

The long-lost "Thou shalt not clone" (actually "You shall not engineer humans," as we've come to find out) PSA from Greenpeace has been found! Watch it here: youtu.be/L3wlb0StgCs?si…

LCF-TV wants to hear from viewers like you!

Does anybody know the origin of this advert/sting? It shows a dancing CGI fly with a giant poo for its body. Aired on ITV in November 2005. Two variants appear in this break, at 0:06 and 3:37 youtu.be/jmwmNdeYcq4?t=6

Solved (and the answer is somewhat anticlimactic) - It's a promo for "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here" lol youtu.be/4BcFWesFmfo?t=…

(Or maybe a tiny poo, considering this is a fly and all)

@horuhe50 Hitogata isn't something we really focus on, because @lostmediawiki already has heavy coverage/discussion of that search

The Kia "Hanging Chads" commercial has been found! This ad is for the 2000 year-end sales event, and parodies the Florida election recount from the Presidential election that same year. forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/12306/h…

Tough news today, cryptozoological lost media researcher Enigma passed away. She's best known for her very in depth research into the Thunderbird Photo and other mysteries in the world of cryptids. She was one of my earliest collaborators and will be missed.

@_Fleegle_ @blameitonjorge they didn't know that lmao

@blameitonjorge @LostAdsFDN This would have been so much more easy to find if the Reddit op actually mentioned it was an advert for Snapped

FOUND MEDIA: Que Sera Sera was a lost advert that supposedly featured a young girl whose face would morph into an ill-looking, drug-addicted woman. It was found TODAY by the Lost Commercials Foundation (@LostAdsFDN). Turns out it's actually a UK promo for a show called "Snapped."

@LSuperSonicQ @_Robbity @noahzjones This is the video that plays at the link. Definitely not what you're looking for lmao

@LSuperSonicQ @_Robbity @noahzjones It plays at this link from 2017: web.archive.org/web/2017112420… I don't know anything about this show but it's a GoAnimate rant video lol, doesn't seem to be official material related to it

A selection of ads which were found in 2023! Let's see what 2024 will bring... youtube.com/watch?v=MIqB50…

Finally, thanks so much to everyone who participated in this search and helped it gain traction. We couldn't have done it without the various sightings and suggestions. And, of course, have a Happy New Year!🎉

The name "Lost Commercials Foundation" actually originates from our recreation of this ad, initially to give it a PIF-y feel but eventually it stuck. The recreation differs from the real ad quite a bit, so here it is for comparison:

One of our longest-running searches, the "Que Sera Sera" advert, has been found! It's a UK promo for the true crime series "Snapped", directed by Martin Gent for the Crime and Investigation Network. vimeo.com/28228030 I guess you could call this a killer way to end 2023...
