Stupid – bad acting in the last 2.

They’ve been running similar flying car ads during NFL games, so that kind of dilutes these shorts. The product placement is weak, the flying cars look completely generic just zooming by. Seems to me the viral marketing campaigns that get the big circulation are “edgy” and these shorts are not.

hahaha its funny but…. Ok? what is the point of having flying cars how the hell does that relate to GM in any way!!????????

who the hell works for GM and honestly brings up a flying car ad campaign to GM management? this had got to be in violation of child labor laws either in the US or Canada.

Sad excuse for a wacky commercial.

So incredibly lame

It was probably thought up by someone at Campbell Ewald (spelling?), which is Chevy’s ad agency, and I think the default agency for generic GM stuff.
The perspective on that last one looks…mmm…not so good.

Randon Jerk, Clearly these videos tie-in to the new ads featuring the flying cars about GM’s new longer warranties. You see the same vehicles there as here.

Like they’d fall for that in California. They don’t even buy GM cars there

You can’t even tell the cars are GM… I don’t see the relation

Almost funny. At least the VW commercials had a point. How is this supposed to make me want to buy a GM?

What was the point of these commercials?

I agree what in the wide world of sports was even the point to these films anyway ? they actually are a complete waste of time and money as they have no tie back to GM at all and have no point to them either.. Whoever approved money to make these at GM should be fired as they are a total waste of GM’s money…they advirtise NOTHING for GM..and they can’t afford wasting money right now

The commercials are simply to generate buzz about GM, and I think they’re doing just that, as we all post comments about them…

the first one was kinda funny because of that foreign dude gettin all crazy…
but as everyone said, what does this have to do with GM?? do their cars fly??
creating buzz is nice, but this is a little over the top and seriously lacking relevance

The point of advertising is not always to educate the consumer about the product, who cares what these have to do with GM. I think they are hilarious.

Stupid Ad…..new low for the GM Ad department.

[...] Two more after jump. [via leftlanenews] [...]

lame…I think the world would end if gm actually made a flying hummer
since it’s a pointless ad, I can rest easy

Plain stupid

But the skateboarding 40-year old was the coolest thing

Flying cars are a rediculous invisionment. Driving normal cars is already the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis could you imagine idot people flying them. Flying them into eachother, and crashing down into a business or residence perhaps. Its Ludicrous. Somewhat off topic but, anyone who cares about what they drive would never buy a GM car they are just the worst.

It would be cool if they made videos of their cars doing things they really could do. Show me a video of a GM car driving down the road without lots of squeeks & rattles. show me a video of a well designed dash not covered in hard misaligned plastics. Show me a video of a GM car with a 5 year 60k bumper to bumper and 10 year 100k powertrain video. Oh wait, I’ve seen those videos, but from Hyundai.

Improve quality and materials first – then splurge resources on fake viral videos.

….. *crickets chirping* …… *akward silence* ……
If the punchline is flying cars, I guess I missed the joke.

How out of touch do the marketing heads have to be to think that these videos would become “viral”? They made my eyes roll so hard they fell right out of my head–That’s how lame these are. Videos become ‘viral’ by being interesting or entertaining enough that they become popular thru word of mouth, but I wouldnt want to waste anyone else’s time by sharing this, nor would I want to embarass myself by showing them something so utterly stupid. More importantly, there’s nothing about these clips that inspires interest in or reflects favorably on GM.

In fact, it’s quite the opposite: NOTHING is lamer than seeing a company trying to jump on a trend and completely missing the mark. It’s like Dr. Evil trying to be “hip” by doing the Macarena, except this wasn’t funny. Funny was a the cat-eating Ford Ka, or un-pimping autos, or a Tacoma surviving a crazy girlfriend’s push off a cliff. This was just lame. GM, I’m embarassed for you.

[...] NOTE: While trying to find video of this ad, I found out that GM is also taking a viral approach to this. I like this idea as well, but I am still not liking the flying car approach. [...]
