4. I don't think so, I think it's just a UK only commercial. n/t

7. How come the UK gets all the experimentally, long-form
adverts? I'd rather sit through a minute of this than 3x20 of David Spade saying "No," the Six Flags guy, and a promo for Dancing w/ the Stars (and yeah I know: dancing and stars both deserve air quotes.....)

8. Different markets, different ad agencies, etc.
The average target audience in the US doesn't have a long enough attention span for an ad like that to work :P

11. Even greater commerical.
www.boardsmag.com/screeningroom/commercials/581/

Link requires Quicktime.

Any time someone posts a Honda commerical, I have to link to this one. I never get tired of it.

14. I don't have the links, but
anybody seen the joke VW ads? In one, a bird buzzes a parked Jetta and the hood flies up and smacks the crap out of it. In another, a cat gets similarly shredded.

Despite my love and respect for all things critter, I laughed my ass off.

17. My all time favorite spoof VW ad was made back when they had
their "Drivers Wanted" series of ads going on. It just had a guy driving down the street in his Jetta, but swerving all over the place, after about 30 seconds, a girls head rises from his lap and as the screen fades to black you see "Passengers Wanted" and the VW logo.

:rofl:

It was hysterical, obviously would never get through network censors if it were a real ad, but I was rolling :P

18. I saw a similar one
Don't remember what the car was, but it's at a red light and a guy in an XKE pulls up next to it and revs his engine. Guy in the other car just looks over, cool. Light changes and the XKE burns rubber. Other guy doesn't move, but after a couple seconds a woman rises from his lap.

Strange how Europeans are so much more relaxed with sex than we are.
