Ogilvy has this great spot out for American Express starring Conan O'Brien. The two-minute ad shows Conan speaking what I'm assuming is Hindi in a perplexing quest in India that involves finding fabric, crushing berries and dyeing cloth—all to make curtains for his show. The entire thing is very funny and quite entertaining. It benefits from great music, beautiful scenery and Conan's terrific acting. (I'm wondering how his Hindi is to those who speak it.)
