The video shows an old man, who sits alone at dinner near his Christmas tree. And to get his family together he fakes his own death. The entire family comes home for this sad reason, but the story ends well with the entire family and granddad having a festive Christmas dinner together.
There is another Edeka commercial in the top ten in addition to the Edeka granddad: the video “Village Drift” (Dorfdrift). The supermarket shows in a humorous way how spectacular and speedy an apple delivery run can be.
The chain of supermarkets finds itself in good company in the ranking. Not only Edeka but also Votaren, the Berlin public transport company (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe BVG), German Telekom and the company Otto all made it to the top ten. On Tuesday Oliver Rosenthal, of the American company Google, which owns YouTube, will present the ranking in Hamburg.
