I think for the most part we can pretty much agree, we have little tolerance for commercials. If you ever clocked a 30 minute show and deducted the times of the commercials shown in that 30 minute spread, the show you are watching would probably barely be 20 mins worth.
Here goes my question: Automobiles is probably the most popular commercials on TV. What car commercial do you find as being terrible, and what car commercial do you find good or funny or at least entertaining. Here is my picks: For the bad ones: The recent Ford ones where they surprise the person and pop out of this fold out studio and do a news report. Makes no sense to me. Other one I find equally as bad is the one for the Chevy Volt at the gas station. The driver is drilled as to why he is there either to use the bathroom or whatever....again makes no sense to me. The one I like is done by Audi.....guy was at a garage sale picked up a ball that was autographed ed by Honus Wanger and not being a baseball collector got ti to throw to his dog. I forget the tie in with the Audi but its a cute commercial. Hyundai recent ones now push the fact when you buy one of there cars they can nail down what the car will be worth when it is traded in 2-3 years hence. Those contracts must have a lot of small print as I know as well as most of you know that have bought used cars not everyone maintains their cars in the same condition as you would. What TV car ads trip your fancy or you find as being terrible. denniskirban@yahoo.com |

ford commercials with that guy saying how awesome they are and words are on the tv screen are clunking down are getting really old.. and ya those surprise/news conference commercials are dumb... i saw a chevy commercial once a while ago that had cars from back in the day and it was good, and im not even a chevy fan....
i like that dodge (cummins basically)commercial where they have all the equipment lined up against that ferd f-whatever and it backs away lol. thats a true story

I hate the Nissan truck commercials. The one where the jet plane lands with the aid of a Nissan truck,and the Nissan truck that pushes the guy over the top of the sanddune in the hill climbing contest.
These trucks suck so bad that you have to make stuff up about them? ![]()

The best car commercial is the one for the chrysler 300 "Good things come to those who work" I love that line.

My favorite commercial is the Chevy one where the guy is reunited with his old 65 Impala SS.
His sons spent 5 years finding the car and surprised him with it. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. Here is the story behind the commercial. http://www.youtube.com/chevrolet?x=u...evy_commercial Its under Chevy runs deep..the yellow Impala

The "issues" ya'll have with car commercials,isn't limited to cars.It's just about any product.And anyone who thinks "foreign product" commercials are written"offshore" is a fool.They are being written where the rest of them are-Madison ave.

I find it ironic that GM is using old cars to sell the new ones...I thought GM said nostalgia doesn't sell in reference to the new Mustang and Charger? Now it does?

Maybe they are trying to play on peoples emotions from the past.Back when things were good,and America was great,EVERYBODY drove an American car. Now most Americans are a bunch of politically correct pansies driving around in thier foreign cars that are made by people who for the most part dislike us.
