This is a commercial from British Gas that aired between 2013 & 2014.

Synopsis[]

It starts off with a man hammering down something and a boy on a pogo stick, also hammering down the "thing". It then shows the mother and her baby also hammering down it with a rolling pin and a teddy bear.

It then cuts to the whole "planet" with a house on the planet, revealing the thing that they were hammering down a large, golden pound sign (£)-shaped balloon.

It shows their dog (which is a bulldog) is clutching on a rope from the balloon. A squirrel is also seen hammering the balloon down with his acorn.

Then the pound-shape balloon deflates (as the balloon's "plug" flies off the hole of the balloon and the squirrel dodges the plug Matrix-style). The commercial ends with the announcer saying "Look after you world with British Gas".

Why You Shouldn't Look After Your World[]

THAT'S NOT HOW GRAVITY WORKS!!! The balloon is tied down but it can still float in space. Also, the "Look After Your World" ad campaign can remind people (like Chadtronic) of Super Mario Galaxy.
