Here at CCTV we like to think of ourselves as a fair minded bunch. We never poke fun at those more unfortunate souls in life but it doesn’t mean we can’t join in when others do.This banned Mercedes E-Class ad is a lovely interpretation of the classic dumb blonde gag, not that we condone that sort of thing of course. That said, the blonde sat across the office has been staring at a carton of orange juice all morning. Apparently it says concentrate. Boom boom…
A saloon car gently winds its way through lush greenery and rolling hills. In the background gentle pan pipe music helps set the tranquil scene. It’s yet another bog standard ‘car drives off into the sunset’ commercial right? Wrong! The twist at the end may require a spare pair of trousers. You have been warned! When Gotham City’s gridlocked and the Penguin is at large what’s the one thing Batman needs to save the day? Sod the Batmobile an Austin Metro is the only option. According to Austin Metro that is. High camp and wooden acting abound in this classic car ad from the 1980’s. You’ve gotta love Americans haven’t you? Home of the brave, land of the free and all that, but also land of the incredibly stupid as this clip clearly shows. The driver survives unscathed, shame you can’t say the same about his pride and the small matter of his expensive 4×4.
