I’ve yet to see a guinea pig make a movie or commercial appearance and disappoint viewers. This Argentina spot by agency El Cielo for the cell phone company Claro is no exception. This hilarious commercial communicates the growing popularity of cell phones with young people. This has become a bigger developmental milestone than a child receiving their first pet! This is a humorous portrayal of the generational shift and embracement of the latest technologies. I offer up 4 stars for the kids performance and 5 stars for the vibrating stunt pig! A note to my own children; love your hamsters, no cell phones until 9th grade.

    1. This is my favorite ad of all time. I’m biased as my choice-of-pet is a guinea pig. (Currently: Scooter and he’s hot.)

    2. I think there was no harming to the pigs as they actually love to be held that way. My favorite part is the kid holding the pig with the side of his head. This is tricky. I’ll try it one day.

    3. This is brilliant. I watch it once per day. Kudos to the kids, also. I love when the birthday? boy brushes off his parents as if he’s a little CEO.

    Well that’s fine, but I got a better one, the Apple iHamster. More compact. I use that little wheel they run in to charge him up at night.

  3. this is a amazing post, I love Guinea Pigs not to mention was very happy to read this interesting information
