Seinfeld Goes All Out For Acura NSX, Gets Foiled by Leno

So Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld collect cars. But would they really go to all the effort they do in this Acura NSX Super Bowl ad as they would in real life? We think not. Of course this isn’t real life; this is the Super Bowl and in Super Bowl advertising you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want.

That said, the RPA-created commercial (which can be seen in long form below) is funny. It follows Seinfeld as he tries to obtain the first NSX. But he’s car-blocked by some other guy who takes a lot of convincing to let Jerry have the car. Once he finally does convince the guy, Leno swoops in (literally) and nabs the vehicle for himself.

It’ll get laughs. Though at this rate of Super Bowl commercial release, we aren’t going to have much left to laugh at during the game.

The sad truth why adult children slowly stop sharing real things with their parents has nothing to do with distance or busy schedules—it’s that somewhere in their 30s they realized their parent would either worry too much, give advice they didn’t ask for, or make it about themselves, and the silence was easier than managing any of those three responses

Nobody prepares you for the loneliness of being well-married. Not unhappy enough to leave, not connected enough to stop aching, just existing in the strange middle territory where everything is fine and fine is the loneliest word in the English language
