Car Commercials...a new breed of WOW factor?

nev_payne · 23-February-05, 05:37 PM

Recently car adverts in the UK have taken a very intresting, award winning and funny approah, some of which are facinating to the eye (HONDA), some of which are dam koolio (VW with David Elsewhere) and some which are good for laughs (Honda 6 seater with Sid the dog animation).

Other industry especially alcholic beverages have good adverts nad ocmmercials. My all time favorite would have to be Guiness Fly Through of 1994...where the camera shot goes into a pint of guiness...showing the bubbles to be effectivly galaxies, and planets inside them...very clever for 1994. One in this industry which made me crease up a few times was the Heiniken road works . A great little number....if only it would really happen

Wat do you think of the adverts that either car ocmpanies or other industries are pushing out? I have to say im by far impressed with the car industry at the moment....awe inspiring clips of marketing genius.

Your thoughts most welcome

EDIT - title changed to save more embarresment to my spelling (and doggy keyboard)

Bread is the stuff you make toast with.
But anyway, I love old beer and car commercials. Before all the political correctness.

If bread equates to money, I believe our Nev made an appropriate Freudian slip.

Did any of you catch that Anheuser-Busch commercial with the desert fatigue clad soldiers are walking through the airport and people spontaneously start to applaud? That is a kick-ass commercial. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Matter of fact, it reminded me of something during Desert Storm that I'll have to share with you in the PimpRig Premium Lounge.

I've seen that Honda one before, cool clips Nev.

Well, I changed the title for you back to the intended Breed...it was bugging me... heh

Why yes, BA, I did catch that one...seems I sent it to you...today I think...

One word for the Guinness Commercial: BRILLIANT!

I have a hard time believing that honda commercial isn't doctored, but it is cool non the less. I'm with ya BA, brought a tear to my eye. I like the bud light commercial where the pilot jumps out of the plane after a sixpack of beer.
