uhmmm...yeah....a stray apostrophe in the OP
*facepalm*
The ‘Darth Vader kid’ and the Volkswagen(?) commercial. I think it was shown first about 5 years ago.
No - this one is made to look like old home video and doesn’t have a Vader kid.
cute!
No? No what?
I will give all of these companies a “B” for effort.
All of these have been made for the homogenic, wishy-washy, castrati of the post-Berlin Wall births.
It’s either Mustang, or Dodge Challenger, with all the guts, noise, and accoutrements that make them what they have always been.

Personal favorite was a 1970’s commercial for Karmann Ghia that had it speeding on the Bonneville Salt Flats touting it as the world’s most economical sports car. Then it gets stopped in its tracks by a big paper barrier and the narrator says “It’s just not the most powerful”. Ad won a Clio Award that year.

I liked the Voldwagon commercial from several years back where the girl licks the door handle to keep others from buying the car she wanted.
Mid 80’s Subaru commercial for the XT Coupe with the hill billy’s that think the car is a space ship.
“Watch him Luke, he’s reaching for his......control pods!”
I love the good-dad one. I miss good-dads and good-men so much! I miss them in end-of-the-world movies where they take charge with logic and courage to protect the survivors. I miss them bringing order to single mother homes and teaching children about the real world.
I want our dads back!!!
Trunk Monkey are definitely some of the best.
