Saturday, May 19, 2012


With a very brief statement, General Motors, America's biggest automaker in terms of sales and third largest advertiser overall in the U.S., has announced that it will not buy any ads in the next Super Bowl in 2013.

Acura Says it's Sorry for Seeking "Not too Dark" African American Actor in Super Bowl Ad

Wednesday, April 18, 2012


While Acura may have avoided calls when the story on a casting document that called for an African American actor who is "Not too dark" broke out Wednesday morning, the Japanese company has now issued a formal apology.

The document was allegedly leaked to gossip website TMZ by an African American actor "who didn't fit the profile, and who's pissed".

The ad asked for an African American to play the role of a car salesperson in Acura's Super Bowl commercial for the NSX concept featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.

Acura's Casting Call for the NSX Superbowl Ad Asked for a "Not too Dark" African American


Most of you will recall Acura's commercial for the NSX concept from this year's Super Bowl starring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno, but few will probably remember the car salesperson that appeared in the beginning of the clip.

Celebrity gossip and entertainment news site TMZ not only remembers the salesman but it also got its hands on the casting call document, allegedly from an aggravated African American actor who didn’t get the role.

And why is this unnamed actor angry, we hear you ask? Because, for the role of the African American car dealer, the casting call asked for a "Nice looking, friendly. Not too dark" actor.

And the Most Viewed Commercial during Super Bowl XLVI was….

Tuesday, February 7, 2012


To the dismay of Patriot fans, the New York Giants won the Super Bowl XLVI. But aside from the real game on the field, there was also another game taking place on television sets. We're talking of course about the advertising war.

According to Kantar Media Audiences’ commercial ratings analysis, Cadillac scored the highest audience, averaging a 43.5 average household rating with its “Green Hell” ad on the new ATS that aired at 9:37 EST.

The study also found that the ATS commercial was the most-viewed single advertising spot in U.S. television history surpassing the previous record holder, which was “Miss Evelyn,” a spot for the Chevrolet Camaro in Super Bowl XLV last year.

Toyota's "Connections" Super Bowl Ad will Take you from Zero to Snooze in 61 Seconds

Friday, February 3, 2012


Toyota has a secret weapon against its rivals in this year's Super Bowl (well, at least those that have scheduled to air their commercials after the Japanese company): it's called "Connections" and it's one of two spots that it will run during the big game.

Provided you haven't already fallen asleep from the soft voiceover heard in the background, the only vaguely interesting part of the commercial is the appearance of a jacked up older generation Camry riding on massive alloy wheels at around 40 seconds into the clip.

Now that you've been warned, feel free to hop over the break to watch Toyota's second Super Bowl XLVI spot.

BMW gets Playful with Six New Ads, Two of Which will Air during the Super Bowl


While BMW wants to keep its signature motto "Ultimate Driving Machine" alive, it also desires to attract a younger crowd with its marketing efforts on the brand-new 2012 3-Series sedan.

Hence the playful nature of its new U.S. campaign, which comprises six short commercials, two of which will air on TV during Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday.

The 15 and 30 second ads were created by 'Kirschenbaum, Bond, Senecal + Partners', and all of them demonstrate some of the new technologies that have been incorporated into the latest 3-Series in a humorous manner. You can watch all of them right after the break.

Did Hyundai Omit 40mpg Claim on Elantra Super Bowl ad Because of Consumer Watchdog?


It happens to every new car buyer: you look at the car’s specs and among other things; you take notice of its official fuel economy numbers. Then you may discover that in real-world conditions, the mileage you eke out of a single tank is nowhere near the quoted figure.

The discrepancy is sometimes so big that you are either driving like a maniac (which in some cases may be true), or there’s something’s fishy with the official mileage estimates. Are consumers tricked by carmakers as far as fuel consumption is concerned, as some claim?

Consumer Watchdog (CW), a non-profit organization that advocates taxpayer and consumer interests, believes so and is making a fuss about it. The organization has urged the EPA to perform tests itself and has even threatened to employ “guerilla” tactics if its demands are not satisfied.

The latest issue was about Hyundai’s Super Bowl commercial for the 2012 Elantra that appeared on YouTube.

Chevy Takes a Stab at Ford with its New Super Bowl Ad for the Silverado


And the claws are out! Chevrolet makes no apologies for its new commercial on the Silverado pickup truck that will air during the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world that draws on the Mayan predictions, the ad shows a group of friends that made it out alive and who all happen to be Silverado owners.

Once they assemble, they notice that one of their buddies didn’t make it to the meeting point – the missing friend happens to own a Ford…

You can take a look at Chevy's "2012" Super Bowl ad in the video after the break.

Kia's Dreamy 2012 Super Bowl Ad, Plus a 5-Hour Video of Victoria's Secret Model Adriana Lima

Thursday, February 2, 2012


Only a few days left for the big game, so Kia released the full version of its 2012 Super Bowl ad titled "Drive the Dream" for the new Optima Limited Edition featuring a slew of stars including Victoria's Secret super model Angel Adriana Lima, the Motley Crew, martial arts champ Chuck Liddell and bull rider Judd Leffew.

Out of all those stars, we all know who will capture the attention of most viewers.

Kia's marketing division came to the same conclusion as us and so it created a five-hour long looped version of the hot Brazilian model repeatedly waving her chequered flag. You can watch both videos after the jump.

Suzuki Airs Final Version of its Super Bowl "Sled" Ad with New Song from 50 Cent


Last weekend, we showed you Suzuki's new Super Bowl commercial for the Kizashi sedan title "Sled". As it turns out, it wasn't the final version that will air during the big game on Sunday, February 5, but a preview clip with music from Ben Kahle.

However, the only change made to the commercial is the addition of rapper 50 Cent's "Movin' On Up" song. Other than that, it's the same ad showing an Eskimo swapping his dog sled for a Kizashi all-wheel drive saloon.

Acura Releases Second Super Bowl Ad with Jerry Seinfeld Trying to get the NSX


With close to 7 million views on YouTube in just three days after it launched, Acura's first ever Super Bowl commercial titled "Transactions" with Jerry Seinfeld trying to be the first in line to take delivery on the upcoming NSX, is one of the most watched ads of this year's game.

Therefore, it only makes sense that Acura will bet heavily on the commercial to create more buzz around its name.

Following the extended version of the original ad, Acura has released a second commercial with Jerry Seinfeld, who once again attempts to convince the man who secured the first NSX to give him his place through bribery, which in this case involves a Munchkin.

Volkswagen's New Super Bowl Ad will Make You Miss Little Darth Vader

Wednesday, February 1, 2012


Admittedly, Volkswagen's advertising agency had some pretty big shoes to fill with its 2012 Super Bowl ad after last year's game day commercial "The Force", which has since garnered some 50 million views on the company's own YouTube channel alone, but we're not so sure it has succeeded with the "The Dog Strikes Back".

The German company aired today the extended 75-second long spot online with the 60-second version of the ad running in the second quarter of the Big Game on February 5.

Lexus Unleashes "The Beast", its 2012 Super Bowl Commercial on the 2013 GS

Tuesday, January 31, 2012


Like most carmakers this Super Bowl season, Lexus gave us a small teaser of the commercial it will air during the big game on February 5 earlier this month.

However, you won't have to wait for the football match to see Lexus' first ever Super Bowl ad its entirety as the Japanese brand has just unleashed "The Beast", which is the name of the commercial featuring the 2013 GS saloon.

The 30-second long spot, which will run at the end of the first quarter of Super Bowl XLVI, shows the new executive model breaking free from a metal container. If you look at the back, you'll see four more boxes which Lexus says represent the additional new models it plans to reveal later this year.
