The cool thing about this is that one of my father's coworkers knows the choir director who did this... It's the picture of uberness. Watch it.

Honda adverts rock. I loved this one when I first saw it (my wife hates it! she thinks it is freaky). I have to admit I wasn't sure if the advert was faked or not.

I loved their original 'isn't it great when things just work?' advert, that was amazing. I also loved their diesel engine trip-a-tron styled advert. Awesome stuff.

Clever peeps they are. Still don't own a Honda but their brand name is stuck in my brain much more firmly thanks to those classic ads than it ever was before.

Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play

once Ford (i think) had a commerical that had the words "HOT BUTTON" in huge text across the top of the screen, but the "O" in BUTTON was some weird symbol, so it looked like it said "HOT BUTT" and they were showing people looking at their cars... oh man, was that ever the best commerical ever... WEEEEEee

Absolutely hate that advert for some reason. Have the car running them all over at the end while the simulate crashing and breaking bones noises would be cool in my opinion. Don't know why I hate it though, just do......

I really liked those transformer adverts they did. http://paultan.org/archives/2005/09/05/citroen-c4-transformers-advertisement/ And that Mouse Trap type advert was pretty good too http://www.metacafe.com/watch/7521/cool_honda_commercial/

Cheers

I hate to say it, but Honda's ad campaign is awesome and its worked on me. I own a Civic Coupe at the moment, and basically have mad respect for Hondas. It's partly because my car runs like a dream all the time, and probably a lot to do with the fact their ad campaign instils a sense of respect. Either way, Hondas are damn good cars, and I'm basically sticking with Jap wagons from now on. Nissan Skyline next stop. Civic Type-R is a maybe too.

As for this advert, I'm pretty sure it's all real. It's just inaccurate enough to be real I think.

It was okay the first time, but having to keep watchng the full length version gets very annoying... Clever, but thats all. Its show quite regularly on TV at time moment...

I prefer the one where the bald chap starts off with a mini motorbike and ends up in a balloon...

I do think we need to tighten up on advert rules - eg, no company can advertise more than once per break, or more than twice in an hour.

What? They make you guys sit through that on television? And here I thought it was just an Internet commercial. I had to stop it 3 quarters of the way because I found the people too annoying to look at, and the commercial too long.

If the director would have hidden the choir until the last 10 seconds, it would have been cooler and a surprise.

Yes it feels like a VERY long commercial after you've seen it a few times, it forces me to go and make a cup of tea instead (You can't flip channels as most sky channels have their adverts all at the same time )

Nah, watch everything on Sky+ these days. Unfortuantly I miss a lot of new shows because I'm constantly zooming through the ads. Wish they would hurry up and finish that option that suggests stuff to record based on what you have recorded in the past. Tops (although taking bloody ages to release).

Cheers

I wanted to get Sky plus but having to pay extra for the subscription as well as the box seems a waste to me, I'd prefer to pay thruogh the nose for the box and carry on paying my normal subscription price...

It's worth every penny!

I haven't watched an ad break for months.

It's not that long - plus longer, better ads mean fewer annoying ones

I myself enjoy the verizon commerical where the old lady knocks out the pro boxer.
Priceless.

The transformer one is the only one that annoys me enough to switch over - I think that's due to the irritating music though. I love the mouse-trap style advert, that's genius, reminiscent of those domino rallys we'd see every week on TV during the 80's.
