It was a GREAT Commercial HOWEVER, I STILL Ain’t Buyin a DODGE(or ANY OTHER Crysler).
Definitely my favorite.......
Makes me realize how much I miss Paul Harvey.
That commercial was a stark contrast to the sheer decadence that was present in most of the others. Unfortunately the others better reflected the decline and decay of current day America in the age of Obama.
That was my favorite commercial too - it was great. I have only stayed at a few relatives farms and ranches a few times - but it is unbelievable how hard they work. And what good folks they are.
Although it did remind me of an old Bloomsbury Cartoon where Opus is going to become a farmer and someone is helping him:
Okay Opus say “I am becoming a farmer so I can declare my independence and be a self-made man.”
Now, without cracking a smile say “Hurry up with my Federal Farm Grant check!”
Why? It was a terrible commercial. Really long, and until the truck shows up in the last 5 seconds you don’t even know what they’re advertising, and then there’s a truck completely disconnected from everything else. It’s a pretty good monolog but it doesn’t work as a commercial.
Farming these days is largely dominated by corporations, political “contributions,” government subsidies and price controls. For the most part they also support illegal aliens, their slave labor, and socializing their costs. The romantic notion of what a farmer is only applies to a very small group.
The Budweiser ads are so sweet I start getting weepy.
If Dodge’s “God Made A Farmer” ad looked vaguely familiar, it’s because it was on YouTube before the game. Over a year before the game. Made by a different company.
I agree with the #1 and #2 choices.
#1 was really, really good.
It was intended to kickoff the Dodge Ram “Year of the Farmer” promotion. It is right up there with the Apple computer “1984” ad from many years ago.
#2 was easily the funniest. And it was entirely clean.
I was astounded to see the Dodge truck ad spending so much time in tribute to American farmers. I couldn’t believe a bunch of Madison Avenue types who put out the other types of ads could also put out something like this that honored good old fashioned hard work and honesty. I can only imagine the profanity the Occupy Whatever viewers were spewing right after this ad. (I grew up on a wheat farm, so this ad really resonated with me, personally.)
Not to disrespect farmers, but two years ago I got a bumper sticker:
AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY
GOD CREATED MARINES.
I was so waiting for Joe Montana to show up at the end of the Tide commercial!
Will always favor the Bud/clydesdale commercials, they are classic.
Leftie/Libs were already whining this morning about the Farmer ad and similar ads.
It wasn’t really an ad ...
It was actually from an old ad ...
It has the voice of Paul Harvey!

Considering that most of the other ‘ads’ were pure crap, it was refreshing to see this remake.
I was quite amazed to see this..I bet it took the libs by surprise to.
I saw the ad and honestly thought that Chevy had hit it out of the park...
Imagine my surprise - a dodge, eh?
I went to Youtube today to watch a video and that particular Ad was the lead in to the video. The Ad was both classy and great........
Up here we say that the only thing stupider than a cow is a farmer.
It's a joke. Loved the ad. I'm a Ford guy, myself, but Chrysler showed some savvy with this ad. I think they might just sell a few trucks because of it.
I miss Paul Harvey so very much.
