Mitsubishi Lancer Lost in Silly Chase Scene Ad

CapturFiles-Sep-21-2012_12.28.31.jpg

Point of advice to john st., the agency that created this commercial for the Mitsubishi 2013 Lancer; if you’re going to spend 60 seconds highlighting a vehicle, you might want to shoot it in a way so that the viewer can actually see what kind of car they are being sold.

The spot, your typical chase that really isn’t a chase, focuses in on a guy who spots a vehicle in his rear view mirror. Turns out it’s not who he thinks it is. And we find out he’s not who we think he is.

It’s a bit of a forced ant-stereotype combined with a lame joke we’ve seen a million times before.
