New car crash commercials

Yep, it's the VW commercial.

Two guys in the car talking and a pickup truck backs out of a driveway and they collide with it.

The other commercial is two couples in a car that starts to go when the light turns green and a SUV/Truck running the red light broadsides them.

That commercial made me cringe in the days following my accident.

All State had a commercial where a guy rear ends another car and it's all in slow motion up until the point of impact. I remember those commercials because "President Palmer" is the spokesperson. (Any 24 fans? ;) )

State Farm did have an accident commercial where a guy misread directions and drove his car into a lake. It's where the local diver is also the local State Farm agent.


Can you tell I watch a lot of tv? :eek: :p :rolleyes: :D

LOL, I guess the advertisers are doing their job! Getting people to talk about or remember the product is **the name of the game** in advertising, isn't it?
Product recognition? And, as they say, even negative publicity is still publicity. At least, I think that is what they say.

I LOVE the Geico commercials. That gecko is so funny.

(and, not to turn this into a rant about insurance companys...but, for those that 'claim' to love SF, or whomever, get back to me when you put in a claim!! Anyone is 'good' when all they are doing is accepting your premiums. )

I like those commercials too except I get so tired of people asking me if I've named my geckos 'Geico' or if they talk, sing, or dance.... :rolleyes: :p
