What's your all-time favorite car ad?
Some of you may not know what I'm talking about so I'll try my best to explain it.
I just loved this VW ad for the Golf with Swedish actor Peter Stormare (think "Fargo" and "The Lost World").
He's in a hangar with a hot blonde with funny-looking hair and a teen who looks grungy. They destroy the poor guy's car and shove a new VW into his hands. My favorite is the third one where they catapulted the car!

Can anyone find examples of other funny car ads?

The 1990 "I'm having this dream" 300Z commercial played during the SB when the 49ers destroyed the Broncos. It was only aired once because the safe driver cry babies thought the ad would make kids drive fast and kill themselves

Kids will drive fast and kill themselves if you put an ad for an Amish one-horse carriage on the toob. It's not the ad, it's the age. We were all invincible at that age. Most of us were lucky enough to live long enough to figure out that it wasn't true. Some, sadly... not so lucky.

Dont know how to imbed video but The 2005 ad for the C6 Corvette that was shown during the Superbowl that year is my all time favorite. Chevrolet got in trouble with the FCC over due to a kid driving the car and barred them from running the ad after that! I went out and bought my C6 not to long after that. If you go to youtube and type in " A Boys Dream " you can check it out.

Nothing ... but nothing, sounds like a Ferrari. I want them to play that sound at my funeral.

Always liked the old VW GTI commercial with the Beach Boys song "Little GTO" sung in German

Or this!
First time they shot the commercial the chute didn't open! Too bad they took the sound out. The tag line: MG, still one jump ahead.
