Oddly enough, the last guy I went out with did call me a flaming ball of hot gases that causes melanoma . . .
You know…like the MISUBISHI sports car-with that weird broad having a seizure in the front seat? What’s that all about? Then you see a bunch of black chicks in one, going through a tunnel…they are snapping fingers and chilling out…and contemplating colliding with that big mac truck in front of them…however, the Mitsu ads are doing well-their sales are up:o
Did he get a goodnight kiss?
. . . Yeah, and his eyebrows have yet to grow back . . .
Okay, wait a second, back up a minute: Does Buick actually have so little to recommend their vehicles that they have to build their ad campaign around the conceit that their new designs are being produced by a dead guy? I mean, what the hell?
I disliked ALL vehicle commercials until I was watching tv the other night, and a Chevy commercial came on. Two guys are sitting in their car, driving up to the red stoplight and the passenger is attempting to drink a cup of “hot liquid”. Everytime the passenger tries to take a drink, the driver “bumps” his brakes…until the light turns green. Then the voice over says something to the effect “helping you grow through all your immaturities”. I find it hilarious (reminds me of things we used to do growing up I suppose).
I’ve seen that one, Blueberry. I felt the same as you, although I won’t after I’ve seen it 10 or 12 more times…
And I kind of like the one (Suburu, maybe?) in which the guy’s sitting in the car, singing along to “American Pie” while his girlfriend waits patiently outside for the song to end so they can go walk on the beach.
Why did Prudential choose the “rock” of Gibrlatar as their logo? I mean, the metaphor of “strength, longevity, and durability” is not that difficult to see.
Stupid Car Ad on European Telly:
It’s a Citroën ad. A man is driving the car along a motorway, with his girlie in the front passenger seat. Lo! A fighter jet appears! It flies over the car, upside down and really close, such that the pilot of the plane can eye up the girlie. The girlie appears to be impressed, and gives the pilot the glad eye. The man driving the car notices a bridge coming up, and appears to think that the plane might hit the bridge. The pilot pulls his aicraft away, and doesn’t hit the bridge.
This does not make me want the car. This makes me want the PLANE.
Yeah, pretty much. Have you seen the new Buicks? :darn, no “nauseated” smiley:
So, are cars made by white collar workers who listen to prog rock?
The car commercial that annoys me is the one where the whole family heads off in the morning with each one in their own brand new Ford Focus. Something about it just gets on my nerves.
