DVLA Car Crushing Advert

The DVLA in the UK have commissioned many adverts recently showing what will happen if people do not pay their car tax and giving easy examples on how people can buy it (Internet, phone, post office etc).

This advert is my favourite in the bunch and shows a man and presumably his girlfriend going back to his car to find it starts being crushed before their eyes, ah the powers of the DVLA!

Renault Twice the Va Va Voom

The Va va voom adverts from Renault moved a step further than the first ones with Theirry Henry when the Twice the va va voom advert came out.

This advert starts with an English man driving a Renault and a French lady also driving a Renault with the song Sinnerman by Nina Simone playing in the background. While driving they talk about what is best about their countries before meeting up at the end where some chemistry between them occurs.

This is a clever play on the old British and French pride that delivers a great va va voom advert.

Volkswagen Golf Matrix Advert

The new Volkswagon Golf advert is a masterpiece in advertising. The new Volkswagen advert is advertising the VW new Golf VI Mk6. Some people have alikened this advert to the Matrix but I dont see this.

The idea of the advert is that the chief designer of Volkswagon really needs to beat himself in order to create the best Golf Volkswagon has ever released to the car market. The designer constantly fights with himself winning every battle.

In the background you can hear a song saying eins, zwei, drei, vier (one, two, three, four in German).

I love this Volkswagon advert and think you will too.

Citroen Advert - The Transformer

Citroen unveiled some amazing adverts over 2006 to present that featured a Citroen transformer. In the different adverts the transformer skated on ice, danced and skidded around a barrier on the bend of a road.

These Citroen adverts are amazing to watch and it is clear that great effort has gone in to the effects of the transformer.

The idea behind the Citroen advert is that Citroens are "Alive with technology" hence the transforming Citroen becoming alive and doing different things, these are impressive and clever adverts.

Honda Advert - The Cog

Car adverts seem to be becoming a big theme for Great Advert but I feel this is with great reason.

The car manufacturing business really have to come up with something unique to advertise their vehicles and nothing is more unique than the Honda cog advert from a year or so ago.

The advert starts with a simple cog rolling along the floor before hitting another and a chain of events unfold, each event starts from the previous and makes the next happen very much like a line of dominoes.

In the end the car key is pressed and the Honda rolls off its perch then a narrator says "Isn't it nice when things, just work". This advert is interesting and clever.

It must be said that the advert does not have any graphic additions and it all happened as you see it, although the tyre was weighted to make it roll the way it did. This advert is also very long by advertising standards as it is two minutes in length.

Peugeot Indian Car Commercial

Every man knows what its like to want a car to impress the ladies, so this Peugeot advert really was a hit when it came out.

The Peugeot advert not only shows the lengths a man will go to so he has the ride of his dreams to show off to the ladies but even goes as far as showing the men trawling in the car with music blairing and heads bobbing.

I loved this advert when it came out and still love it now as it really encompasses the male youth today and was a hit with Peugeots target audience.

For those who are interested the song in the advert is Bhangra Knights by Husan.

Toyota Swingers Party

My sister found this advert and bought it to my attention, this little advertising beauty from Toyota was aired quite a few years ago now but was a powerful advert when it graced our television screens.

This Toyota advert really tapped in to the 30+ market by playing on the legend of swinger parties where the males car keys are placed in a bowl and a woman picks out a key, who ever owns the car for that set of keys is her "Man" for the evening.

What made this advert so great was the way it was played by ALL men standing up when the "Least attractive" female pulled out the keys to a Toyota.

Clever advertising that made the Toyota look appealing and sexy to its target audience, well done Toyota...oh and it certainly gave me a laugh too.

Volkswagen Polo - The Singing Dog

Now this is a new advert and one thats working wonders for car manufacturer VW (Volkswagen). This incredible skit showing a dog singing and briming with confidence while in the new Volkswagen Polo but nervous and shy while out side the comfort of this car is a masterpiece in advertising when mixed with the music.

Here are the words to the song the dog is singing, the song is called "I'm a man" by the Spencer Davis Group!

Well my pad is very messy
And there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music
And I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin'
Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff.
I'm a man
Yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
I'm a man
Yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so.
