General Electric Commercial

Description

"Childlike Imagination - What My Dad Does at GE" (NOTE TO READERS: This commercial also has a "What My Mom Does at GE" version. Please see the connections.) This ad introduces several little girls who tell us amazing stories about what their mothers do at work. It begins out in the water on a peaceful moonlit night, with a little girl sitting on a boat. She tells us that her mom makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. We then see her mom in a submarine monitoring underwater power turbines being spun by the power of the tides (which, of course, are caused by the moon). The next little girl is shown looking at a giant, empty birdcage. She looks up in the sky and sees airplanes with bird wings flying through the air. She tells us that her mom makes airplane engines that can talk. The third young girl narrates as a giant hand reaches out of the sky and picks up a hospital building and places it in the palm of its other hand. The girl tells us that her mom makes hospitals that you can hold in your hand. A doctor inside this hospital is shown holding a smartphone-sized device that is able to monitor her patients. Another girl walks out of her house into the desert where a giant futuristic machine is "printing" a jet engine. She tells us her mom can print amazing things while sitting at her computer. The last little girl sits on a hill and watches a long train wind through the countryside as the trees all around the track wave to the engine because is is clean running. The ad ends by explaining that all these dads work for GE (General Electric).

My dad - he makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. My dad makes airplane engines that can talk. My dad makes hospitals that you can hold in your hand. My dad can print amazing things right from her computer. My dad makes trains that are friends with trees. My dad works at GE.
