Favorite car commercials? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

catlover79 · 06-07-2007, 10:41 AM

Sorry, I didn't know which board to put this under.

My dad and I always enjoyed the VW "Fun in the Sun" ad. The guy picks a sunny Mexican vacation over the car, and the waiter watching on TV says "Idiota!" When he turns around, the contestant is right there, scowling! It is pouring buckets outside!!

Another VW commercial I enjoyed was the "da da da" one, with the chair. Another good one was the guy getting a phone call from himself in the future: "Don't take that job in Boston...and when you meet Becky...RUN!" I think that was a VW ad as well.

Some car commercials I like because they are very simple and to the point. The Dodge Ram commercial that aired a couple of years ago just showed the truck with "Keep On Truckin'" by Eddie Kendricks playing in the background. Very nice. Recently, I also enjoyed the Saturn (?) commerical that had "Mahna Mahna" playing. I was humming it for days!!

VW are putting out some really good ads right now.

I like the one where a couple of young guys are in a City Golf and there's a cop car behind them with the lights going. The driver says, "Oh oh - I stole this car." The passenger freaks and says, "WHAT?!" The driver says, "Yeah, I only paid $14,900 for it - totally stole it". The passenger keeps looking back nervously and then the cop just passes them to pursue a chase with someone else.

It's good - makes you pay attention and it's a clear message of how inexpensive the car is.

VDub and Miss Helga - those ads are great!

EmoJoe · 06-08-2007, 11:55 PM

Here is my favorite car commercial.

Check out the super-plush interior at 25 seconds into the commerical.

Some are fun, some are dull, some are beautiful, some are scary.

One I like:

From 1981:

A Scotsman complains about all of the fuel his VW Rabbit diesel uses from driving between Glasgow and Edinburgh twenty times a year.

"Last year," he says, "I had to buy two whole tankfuls!"

My fave is an ad with Dustin Hoffman for the (Then) New VW type 3 fastback......who explains the car has no engine under the hood, but then, looks for the engine in the rear, only to get a big surprise!

Your VW dealer will show you where the motor is.

We had a type 3 wagon (AKA Squareback sedan), I know where it is

!
Was a great car; with the pancake engine, we could store everything we needed for a weekend of camping in that little machine with room left over for a big box of comic books

the rear seat folded down flat so you had a trunk in front and basically a covered mini pickup truck bed behind the seats.

The recent Audi R8 commercial is one of the best I've ever seen.

This one, because it's so absurd. "Who'd ever believe a Rabbit could be beaten by a Pontiac?" Someone who didn't mind a 1980 rear-drive Sunbird with a low floor, a huge driveshaft, and less room.
