I've just asked my girlfriend, so the translation above is fully correct.

I originally thought it was "we've got the flavour", but now i definitely hear "we're happy flavour."
I get that the teenager is saying "Pity, eh?", but the moose and the geisha... what would that be in spoken english? kinda a "carpe diem" type of thing?

Any fluent Japanese speakers out there?!

The problem is that they're all catchy phrases/sayings/clich�s. My best guess would be:
Moose:"Don't wait for an opportunity to come knocking on your door."
Teen: "Pity, eh?" or "What a shame..."
Geisha: "To get far in this world, you have to pay attention. There's opportunities all around you."
You get the basic concept, anyways...

OK, the actual translation:
The Man and the closed door. Moose/Elke is appearing.

The Moose:
- It is your mistake to wait for a sudden chance without doing anything for it...　

pessimistic Bubble-Man :
- Pity, eh? Pity, eh? [thanx, eliwein]

optimistic Bubble-Girl
- It's important to pay attention to any chance before your eyes!

So does anyone else think this is a direct message to us?

But aren't we already paying attention to everything before us...

we must be missing something and they are trying to tell us we are.

I wonder what does that Moose (=Zoom) mean... What is it for warp hole he is coming from. And why is he like a teacher or "Guru"?

Theres a discussion going on in the [SPEC] That Contest thread about the meaning of the commercial. I think, while it could be indirectly directed at us, we have to first try to understand what it means in relation to the man.
