You forgot to mention that Google tested (and will launch soon) something similar: video ads http://valleywag.gawker.com/372333/google-tests-video-ads-against-search-results .

Good point. Similar to the plus boxes for images mentioned, these only expand on click, though, showing plain (plus-icon enhanced) text otherwise...

A funny dog food example... but probably these video ads doesn't work globally?

This is really a updated way to tell customer that we have all these videos and images as well ..

and user can easily reach to his required result.s
