0	Catherine Gagnieux about 1 month ago from Montreal 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!
1	Karen about 1 month ago from Swan River Manitoba, Canada Fantastic commercial. Saw it for the first time tonight. I will show it to my Grade 6 class tomorrow!
2	Li 2 months ago from China 太有爱了...It's amazing
3	Kristen 3 months ago from London, ON, Canada 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.
4	Tony D. Howell 3 months ago from Wilson, NC The adult male looks like Billy Bob Thornton to me.
5	Tim Perior 3 months ago from Porter Ranch, CA This is the best thing on television; and I don't mean just commercials or public service announcements. Beautifully made, beautifully expressed.
6	Linda Meier 3 months ago from Milton Freewater, OR 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.
7	Devin 3 months ago from Washington state I really enjoyed this one. Thank you.
8	Bee 4 months ago from NJ I have to ask, but is that Matthew Lewis playing the part of the soup server? He looks so much like him!
9	Tim 4 months ago from Leduc, Canada 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.
10	John Miller 4 months ago from Nairobi, Kenya Wow, actually the boy says Asante instead of please. Asante is the Swahili equivalent of Thank you! Great work
11	Paula Hunt 4 months ago from Carrollton, TX 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.
12	Motell Foster 4 months ago from Tuscaloosa,AL 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!
13	Grandma Rosiemerry 5 months ago from CA Ask with a 'Please' and you shall receive ~ with a 'Thank you' every time.
14	Keith Allen Scalf 5 months ago from Hollywood, Fl. Please sirs, I want some more. Thank you VALUES.COM
15	J'Quane K 5 months ago from OH I ilke oliver with a twist.
16	Kyle J. 5 months ago from OH I like this one good job guys
17	John Johns 5 months ago from Charlotte, NC Who is the adult male actor? Looks like Jim Carrey to me.
18	Jodi Mayo 5 months ago from Salt Lake 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.
19	A'dell Harper 5 months ago from Cheshire U.K. 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.
