Here is the video.
And here is a link to some awesome comments worth reading. They're at the bottom of the video, but on this site not YouTube.

Sorry, if I didn't have my 1998 Honda Civic, which incidentally has just lost its chrome logo - maybe getting a little old too - I would be tempted to replace it with an Audi based on this commercial. If I had the money, that is. Alas, I'm a sucker for a good ad - believe me I can be "had."
However, if I could really have my "druthers" I would have this one! The picture was posted in my photography group by Steve Brown. It's a keeper.
I don't think that anyone would ever do an ad for this car. Maybe a little too retro with the Fonz and Happy Days. It's interesting how Star Trek survived and prospered - the magic of other worlds.
Have an amazing day!!
Love the red car with the Coca Cola logo. I also loved Happy Days - one of my favourite shows when I was a kid along with Lavern and Shirley.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the Coke and Audi ad- but to ruin that gorgeous chrome bumper by painting it white... I'm calling the car crime police!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what the shortened version for a TV ad would look like. The ending of the video where Leonard does his Vulcan grip is so funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome ad, Carol! I love it that the old guy trumps the new guy, after all. Thanks so much for sharing this!! It'll have me smiling all day long.
ReplyDeletegreat blog Carol very cool... I agree the chrome bumper painting was a big mistake

Love the "technically we're not inside yet" line! Cool ad but wondering where a 2.5 minute ad actually plays?
ReplyDeleteI love ads, too. I make my sister be quiet during them when I see one for the first time. The more clever the better. I always wished I had that kind of imagination.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see Nimoy do the Vulcan grip - so funny! Especially since the young one was so cocky with his Audi technology and all. Thanks for sharing - very fun!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that! I've been a trekkie since I was a nipper, then Star Wars came along, and Dr Who was a constant anayway.
ReplyDeleteI suspect they last because they are set in the future, plus of course there is the nostalgia of when we watched the original Star Trek way back when.
It will be fascinating to see the next Star Wars films, directed by the same man as these news Trek films!
Cheers,
Gordon
Oh just laughing here at the Vulcan grip part, cause I so wasn't expecting it
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great ad!
