Car Commercials

Ah, so we come to the topic of car advertising. Usually, they are quite a bore, with short messages usually saying: “By this piece of junk for an extremely low price! And look at all the equipment it has! If you’re lucky, it might have doors as standard!” Well, I want to look for car ads that don’t do this. I want commercials that are clever, and make you laugh. So post away, everyone!

I have a couple examples here.

This one’s old and short but it still makes me laugh whenever i see it: youtube.com/watch?v=Sxfn4kLA0VU

Man, forgot how good that Honda one was.

I do enjoy old adverts, an old favourite of mine is this: youtube.com/watch?v=6RfAYnCxkK0
Or again, along a similar theme: youtube.com/watch?v=aVdvdG0jcv8

This one probably is more sad than funny, but the massive 80s japaneseness and Eddie Murphy just makes it funny to me: youtube.com/watch?v=bYoVV38-Kts

On a non-Toyota note, I like this Chevy advert, because it has that excellent seemingly American ad trend of directly attacking the competition: youtube.com/watch?v=yG6cZLEFmzk

This 1968 Citroën DS ad really shows the mad-Citroën era :laughing:

Also, Saab did some weird ad’s in the past.

Aaand you might take a look on this Volkswagen Golf ad :laughing:
youtube.com/watch?v=qG4IaHgqH00 (It’s Dutch, but this is my favorite car ad so far :wink:)

I always liked this one:

In the dutch one it said something like, In a world where everybody can drive his or her dream vehicle…

I bet Lexus and BMW were angry after this:

VW by far are my favourite when it come to car commercials, they’re usually quite funny. Least favourite are Opel that tries desperately to up-brand themselves with their “It’s a German” slogan and Peugeot which commercials are pretentious nonsense.

Second Gen Isuzu Gemini’s commercials are fueled by stunts, while Third Gen ones are fueled by comedic romance with a bit of stunts. I like them.

I love this: is from the Lancia Thema 8.32 (v8 engine from the Ferrari 308, and 32 valves): youtube.com/watch?v=7QH_3ftHmbk
