I have seen this video on TV multiple times. It choked me up ever time I saw it. So I finally looked it up on my PC. I found that there are many more commercials that also touch my heart. Oh if everyone had love and kindness in their heart like these videos promote, it would be a so much better world.

I think that , that is a wonderful commercial for everyone to see. To teach them more about good things instead of all of this bad stuff that is going around.

I saw this commercial tonight for the first time, on FOX news. I found it refreshing since the lack of "please" and "thank you" has been a pet peeve of mine. Your commercial brought me to your site, and I like what I see.

Excellent message. We must be courteous and thus teach manners to the children for they are an investment in the future.

Glad it's not just me that feels strongly about good manners! So many people now do not even acknowledge you opening a door or letting them cross the road. And the increase in the number of young bar staff who don't say "please" when asking for your money is getting ridiculous!

Was watching a football game and saw your commercials and I love them! I can't wait to share them with my daughter. I really like that there is no hidden agenda with these messages like begging money or recruiting for a religious organization. Thank you for these, they are wonderful.

Great video that a lot of kids and adults in this country need to see and learn from. There just seems to be so many people who just don't know what good manners are! I was raise to respect others and so was my child. However, today so many can't even say a simple please, you're welcome or thank you! Well I say thank you for making this video. So show people it doesn't take a lot of effort to say a few works and you just might get something in return for saying it!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this video. Ha! Honestly. I worked as a laborer at a large construction company and within 18 short months I was made foreman of a 30 man crew. It wasn't because I was the most skilled or had the most experience, I didn't. I attribute my promotion to being able to say, "Please" and "Thank you" in an industry pretty much devoid of those courtesies. I knew how to treat people properly.

Saw this commercial easily 50 times during the ECU-ODU game. It got better and better each time. The main guy is Oscar quality.

This was so perfectly done. The whole production for a 30 second commercial was of the quality of a feature film. The actor who played the Head Master, he reminds me of in look the guy who used to play a Horror Movie host "Sir Cecil Creape" Loved seeing him on the old The Nashville Network. Anyway. Great job, and loved the whole mini movie. I am also wondering where did this commercial filmed? It's a great location.

Love this commercial! I tell my kids, "Manners tell other people they matter". Who is the guy that says "More!"? He is great!

As a director of a large daycare for the last 29 years, I must sadly concur that manners have gone out the window! How sad... We do insist on teaching at least thank you and please but it is indeed a bad reflection on our society when we can point ut only 1 or 2 out of 10 children who actually use their manners... let alone their parents!

I love this commercial. It's sad though, that society needs a commercial to be reminded to say "please and thank you." My parents raised to be respectful and to always say please and thank you when the occasion calls for it, so I do. I thank the parents who do teach their children manners, because manners go a long way.

This is the best thing on television; and I don't mean just commercials or public service announcements. Beautifully made, beautifully expressed.

This has to be one of my favorites, I love watching it every time it comes on the TV. I have always taught my kids and grandkids they should say please and thank you, and also send thank you notes for any gifts they receive. So far, they have all followed through. Hope their kids do the same.

thanks Values, everyone could learn from this, just a 'please' and 'thank you'. Teach your child respect and the world will be a better place.

Wow, actually the boy says Asante instead of please. Asante is the Swahili equivalent of Thank you! Great work

Ah, if only people would learn from an early age to say these two simple words? What a difference it makes in the level of service one receives. These words are timeless and universal. This is probably my favorite FBL spot.

I have been obsessed with every video and poster you guys have put up. These simply stories deliver messages in a quaint way. I would love to start a group here on campus that advertises all of these messages. Let me know if i can help. Roll Tide!

My little boy was in the commercial -- what a fun day for him -- he loved the make up and the crew was so good to the kids!! He loves the commercial.

I own a day nursery and the ethos of the business is to help develop the 'little people' into socially adept children who have good self esteem and self confidence and the ability to communicate with their peers and their elders. Without social graces a child can become socially isolated. al this because he/she hasn't been taught please and thank you.
