Mark B. Morrow Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It is a great clip. It would make a very memorable commercial although corporate legal would never approve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I dunno. I found myself craving a good wine to go with all that cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I dunno. I found myself craving a good wine to go with all that cheese. But it's intentionally cheesy, so it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 But it's intentionally cheesy, so it's all good. See, I prefer my intentional cheese a bit more obviously intentional--this I dunno, if they were faking it (I didn't see the whole show), it wasn't apparent--there was none of that Airplane! -obvious- over-the-top lampooning.

syrtran Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 See, I prefer my intentional cheese a bit more obviously intentional--this I dunno, if they were faking it (I didn't see the whole show), it wasn't apparent--there was none of that Airplane! -obvious- over-the-top lampooning. Obviously not a fan of the Evil Dead trilogy or the Carpenter/Russell classics Big Trouble in Little China and the ever-popular Escape from New York. It is a great commercial, except, as MBM pointed out, Corporate would never approve it since it shows people operating Ford vehicles in an unsafe manner. Gotta keep the Highway Nanny Lawsuit and Coffee Klatsch happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJensen Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 the ever-popular Escape from New York. Yeah. I totally did not get that movie. Or was it Escape from LA? It had Steve Buscemi in it. I am not a fan of action movies in general, though, thus I have no idea when something is deliberately over the top as opposed to unintentionally over the top. I guess it's kind of like limburger cheese--you throw out any other cheese that ends up smelling like limburber but limburger you eat?

Ovaltine Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) I thought the ad/short film was great! I must of belly-laughed 3-4 times throughout it. And I agree.... it's THE kind of chutzpah and unabashed brazenness this video exhibits that gets people's attention (and from some - respect.). To a point, I say screw the lawyers. Put a big (and brief) disclaimer before and after this video, and run it during the next big sports event that utilizes the usual funny, longer than usual, commercials. We need more commercials like this in a world where Ford *thinks* they have to put the following disclaimer on commercials where their vehicles (the Edge) are climbing buildings like Spiderman: "Yes, this is a fantasy. Vehicles can't really drive on buildings." -Ovaltine Edited July 21, 2007 by Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT_MAN Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Loved it. Question to all the people who say corporate won't approve: Doesn't anybody remember the video with the cops? http://youtube.com/watch?v=wx97RUGbEF4 That was pretty unsafe driving there .. ? I think the commercial could work if they toned it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
