I really like the one(I believe it's a GM commercial?) with the son playing a video game, crashing his car continually, while the father looks out at his new shiny maroon SUV, with the caption "he's going to be driving one day"?!

I think the worst Chevrolet/GM ad campaign was the one that had the slogan "Built better than they need to be". Wow really? Shortly after they went bankrupt. Go figure.

Obviously you do not understand the commercial, no camera in the back seat, father joking. The commercial with them clapping to a great song is about their super cruise, which is really cool, and is like self driving, I have been in these vehicles, and super cruise is going to be a feature like regular cruise is on a vehicle is now. Love the commercial.

I tend to fast-forward through 95% of the commercials and 100% of the car commercials. I will read Consumer Digest to find out the repair record of various makes and models. Most ads are meaningless and many are outright irritating. One thing that I find strange is that the ads for the newest vehicles seem to think that people believe that their vehicles are just so much rolling computers and entertainment centers. There is very little discussion about safety, horsepower, engine types, and gas mileage. Potential customers have to work to find out if the vehicle uses regular or premium fuel.
........Many non-sport car types like 4 door SUVs require premium fuel - that seems stupid to me. I can see premium used for Corvettes or Porsches, but not in bland grocery-haulers. I guess that the ads need to talk about the vehicle's electronics because to my mind's eye, all the SUVs look the same - very little styling differences. I think that vehicle buyers are paying thousands of dollars extra for computers and electronic gadgets when the basic purpose of that vehicle is simply to go from point A to point B.

I heard that the most irritating and stupid commercials are great
because those are the ones people remember the most, it must be true reading comments here.

But as far as remembering what truck they are selling I do not remember. Only interested in what Walter will do next.

Ok, I get that the father seems to be joking by saying that the truck bed camera actually reveals the back seat. But, why can't the boyfriend see it too? The ad implies that the driver can monitor the back seat with one of the cameras. It doesn't change my opinion about the ad. That type of humor may have been funny 50 years ago, but today, it is just demeaning.

I loved the Chevy commercial where the daughter had the 66 Impala restored for her father.

Yep, that one brought tears to my eyes...

Last time I had a problem with a GM was 1973. With 25+ new and used Chevys, Olds, Pontiacs and Buicks since . . . I have no reason to send my $$$ to Asia.
