Need Help Identifying an old Commercial
Posted on 10/13/2006 12:23:12 PM PDT by sonsofliberty2000
Hello,
I am trying to recall an old commercial for a college class on Consumer Psychology. In the first ad the camera stays looking at a crossroads in the a desert area. Near the end of the commercial a fork drops onto the crossroads. In the next commercial the ad shows a car, not sure what kind, and it says, "Take the fork in the road." It was for a luxury car i believe. Anyone remember this ad?

Well when I used to drive by the Nabisco plant in North Jersey, I too would get nauseous by the scent of whatever it was they happened to be baking that day. YEEEEECH.

The May issue of National Geographic ran an ad for the
Toyota 4Runner that featured the SUV in a remote location, with the headline:
No intelligent life out here. Just you.
But wait, there's more:
If youre going to be a copywriter, you have to be clever. You have to be a conscious of flow and metre, of metaphor and wordplay. You also have to be aware of what you are actually saying.
If:
There is no intelligent life out here
and:
I am out here
then:
I am not intelligent life
Therefore:
Toyota thinks people who buy 4runners are stupid.
QED.
This isnt to say that the concept sucks
just the execution. The sad part is, Im sure the guy who wrote this is brilliant, and just happened to be half asleep the day he wrote that. Im sure hes kicking himself now.
