What are your favourite Explainer videos?

I'm drafting the VO for the explainer video for my product right now, and I'm reviewing other explainer videos for ideas. They all seem to follow a very similar format (animated, problem statement followed by an introduction of the product etc). This format obviously works but I'd love to create something a little less generic and more memorable. It would be great if you could share your favourite explainer videos (or your own explainer videos) and let me know what you like about them. Thank you!

From a video perspective I think Dollarshave club nailed it :
And Fiverr recently did a good one :
Note these are 'humour' but they all open with a pain point - something that's bothering the user

One of my favorites was created for Spotify

@victor_burke I hadn't seen that one! So good
Hey Ronan! This video won 'Explainer Video of the Year 2018' and makes great use of questions as hooks, maybe something you might like to consider. Best of luck! :)
