Too bad it never aired.

Re: 2000 Olds Ad that never aired?
Without even seeing the video clip I can tell you that the ad did air. It was a parody of GAP ads that were on at the time. I thought that it was a good ad, it should have had more air play.

Re: 2000 Olds Ad that never aired?
(Here's what I posted there: )
This ad aired at least a few times. I know I did not see the Superbowl (not much of a football fan) and I still saw the ad several times on regular TV. You have to appreciate the context of the ad, as at the time there were several GAP, Calvin Klein, and other ads all with a collection of “hip” kids in front of a blank photostage looking ineffectual and pitching their brand of product-cool. The ads started to get formulaic after a while (in the same way that Robert Palmer videos all featured gorgeous models playing backup) and this ad was so unexpected the first time you saw it, you couldn’t help but laugh. I don’t know if it made me want to buy an Olds, but it was damn funny. Last edited by eb110americana : 01-02-2007 at 02:27 AM. |

It did air. I remember seeing it here on television. I just finished laughing at it again. Olds was trying to appeal to a "hip" demographic. Thanks for posting.

As for the ad, I remember it! Heh ... I laughed the first time I saw it, but then didn't like it much the few times I saw it after that. It was comical as a "1-time" offering, but not for multiple airings.
