Google Nexus 7 “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” Rooftop Aquarium Commercial (Video)

Google has posted a new TV advertisement for the Nexus 7 Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet. The ad spot is a bit strange until you realize it’s inspired by the movie “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” – featuring Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Cate Blanchett. In the short video, a group of artists (read: hipsters) decide to create a water-less aquarium scene on top of a building after listening to the movie’s soundtrack on Google Play (song: Mark Mothersbaugh – Ping Island, Lightning Strike Rescue Op). They then use their Nexus 7 tablets to research, shop for, and film the larger than life diorama of the rooftop aquarium. Check out the “Bright Lights, Big Aquarium” commercial below.
