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!
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
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. youtube.com/watch?v=ikWSo-eqjFM
