1. I love this ad. I love Washington's badass expression.

And it's a hot car.

[customerserviceguy]

20. I'm with you

this is pretty funny. Had to make a point of watching Washington after you wrote that, it was worth the bandwidth to download.

[Avalux]

24. I drove a Challenger on 5 hour trip recently -

it is definitely a hot car, fun to drive and nicely styled interior too. I only rented it, so had to give it back, even though I didn't want to. ;-)

[Brickbat]

29. We rented a Challenger several years ago for a 2,000-mile trip. It was an effing blast.

And the mileage is decent for its power, although mileage is of course not the primary reason one would buy it. ;)

[Fumesucker]

2. The competition is really stiff for the stupidest commercial I've ever seen..

This one is definitely in the running..

[DainBramaged]

3. Well, then you aren't a customer for that sled, simple.

:patriot:

[Fumesucker]

4. LOL.. The original Infiniti commercials were even stupider than that one..

And I've owned and enjoyed three Infinitis, a Q45, a J30t and a G20..

[DainBramaged]

6. And I've owned ZERO................

[Fumesucker]

7. Mitsubishi made the Zero..

Never had a Mitsubishi..

[DainBramaged]

8. Wasn't the point, genius

It amazes me how DU as a whole no matter what the tread is if it involves American cars, you folks have to interject how much you love your Foreign crap. And make it a point to knock the shit out of our industry.


It just sucks.

[Fumesucker]

9. Never said anything at all about the car..

Just the commercial, it was stupid..

But then I pointed out an even more stupid commercial didn't stop me from buying the car that was advertised.



:hi:

Edited for speling.

14. I drive a Ford Escape, which is essentially a Mazda Tribute. nt

[divideandconquer]

17. Actually a Mazda Tribute is rebaged Ford

The Tribute is based on a Ford platform with a Ford motor and Ford electronics and built in a Ford factory.

[VioletLake]

18. You may be correct,

although this wiki claims that it's based on the Mazda 626 platform:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_Tribute

Either way, it is beside the point.

Thanks

26. Down the road I go. CCR

We have two cars. One American and one German and they are both real nice.

[Romulox]

57. +1,000,000. Dude breaks his neck to post anti-US automaker crap, especially where not relevant. nt

[VioletLake]

5. It's right out of Idiocracy's "Time Masheen". LOL

10. Nice car, dumb commercial. I don't consider freedom to be taking on debt to pay for a $22K car.

[Mimosa]

11. I love the styling of that car.

Great commercial. I hadn't seen it on TV. Thanks. :D

Here's another Dodge Challenger commercial which shows off the car better:

[Mnpaul]

12. I love the ad

but it could have been put to better use to promote the Jeep Liberty.

[proteus_lives]

I have a Liberty.

Decent ride.

[Orsino]

13. Freedom isn't free...

...but you might get 0% financing.

[wuushew]

15. I don't see the humor in vehicular manslaughter

I am supposed to hate the British? They are just poor conscripted slobs just like all the other fodder most wars.

[customerserviceguy]

21. Think of it as a cartoon

No actual British were harmed in the making of that ad.

[proteus_lives]

33. Probably wasting your time.

I doubt that one sees the humor in anything.

[customerserviceguy]

35. It made me laugh

Laughter is the best medicine, he might simply be in the placebo group...

[MindPilot]

25. Then you were probably kind of bored watching Death Race 2000.

Lighten up Francis.

[bbinacan]

16. Good commercial.

Thanks for posting.

[whatchamacallit]

19. A couple of things America got right...

Gas guzzling penis enhancers and the freedom to invade oil-rich countries so we can keep our toys. :eyes:

[taterguy]

22. +1

[DainBramaged]

32. Which is why we call it freedom

Nannies, truth, justice, and only their way......

[flvegan]

34. I always love the "penis enhancement" types of responses. Proves

that some folks just don't get that a certain group of people actually happen to LIKE cars and the performance that can come from them. Got a Corvette/Porsche/big V8? Must have a tiny dick. Right.

Maybe it's because we actually ENJOY our wheels and driving. Some of us would curse every single moment behind the wheel of some South Korean econo-shitbox. Pissing ourselves every time we try to pass a slower vehicle, winding the hell out of some anemic 80 horsepower lump of plastic.

Some of us (I suppose, according) had penis issues as children. I don't know if my dad had Playboys, but I knew where the Car & Driver mags were. 10 years old, lusting after Ferraris. 16, bought my first car...a Mustang. Next car was a Z28, then on to a couple Corvettes. Oddly enough, my girlfriends of that time never mentioned any problems with my equipment below the belt.

Considering the number of Lamborghini Countach posters that were sold in the 80's to kids, I guess there's a whole LOT of us out there.

But then I guess for the computer folks, maybe the hottest new chip from AMD or Intel is *just* penile enhancement. Anyone wearing a Rolex or an Omega? Watches for the penis misfortuned, must be.

[GeorgeGist]

39. Tiny ego?

[flvegan]

50. Oh, look.

Another one proves my point.

[tourivers83]

23. That is a cool commercial.

Truly I have just started watching a British series of movies. The first one is called Sharpe’s Rifles. It is about a British Sergeant fighting in Spain that gets a field promotion to the officer ranks and the discrimination from the other British Officers that follows. In those days British Officers were from the Upper Class and Sharpe is not. Sharpe is called that, “son of a Cat Street whore and born in a brothel.”
The lead is played by Sean Bean and it is a wonderful series.


:patriot: :popcorn: :patriot: :patriot:

[MindPilot]

27. Yeah we did get both things right.

And then proceeded to fuck both of them up by attempting to make them both completely risk-free.

[Tom_Foolery]

28. Was that Robin Williams portraying Washington?

[customerserviceguy]

36. I doubt he'd do that

but really, nobody could beat David Morse's Washington in the "John Adams" series. If you haven't seen it, it's worth renting at the video store.

[MilesColtrane]

30. Too ridiculous to be patriotically/sentimentally stirring.

Yet, too sappy to be truly funny.

They should have played up the second half of the commercial for laughs.

It would have been much better if they would've dropped the Ken Burns-like fiddle music during the charge and put some high energy, modern music in there.

And, show George looking like he's having a good time driving the car instead of grim, stoic, determination.

[proteus_lives]

31. Ok, loved it. Appeals to my goofy side.

With a little alternate history thrown in.

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

37. It's a commercial that appeals to the people who like that sort of thing.

Sappy, faux patriotism.

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. Heh. Funny. n/t

[activa8tr]

40. Kind of just plain stupid if you ask me. But nobody did. This is made for

rednecks everywhere, who will buy those impractical gas guzzling trucks they only use as a truck twice a year.

[Nailzberg]

41. Actually, it was made specifically for the US/England world cup match this past June.

[baldguy]

42. The Challenger is built in Brampton, Ont., Canada

[Canuckistanian]

44. As one of the Youtube commenters said:

"A so-called American car built by Canadians to fight the British hahaha. Silly Chrysler, you make commercials as bad as you make cars."

[Xenotime]

48. Excellent!

[Supersedeas]

56. Labeling and creative advertising can marginalize these facts

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

43. Nice looking car.

I'm considering getting one.

[Swamp Rat]

45. Dumbest commercial I have seen in a long time, but I love MOPAR

[guitar man]

46. Barracuda baby!!

I had the same car,70 model, mine was a 440, plum crazy paint :P

[Fumesucker]

47. My Mopars were a 70 Road Runner, same color as this one

And a 63 Sport Fury convertible..

[Swamp Rat]

49. Road Runners!!!

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[guitar man]

52. I had the hardtop version

of the 63 fury, it was white, nice looking car. The only problem it had was no reverse, the pushbutton shift for the reverse gear never worked, I just got used to parking where I could drive out forward. :rofl:

I also had a '69 Newport Custom, 383. It was a hell of a nice old passenger car, and a 76 Chrysler Cordoba. It had the 400 big block, motor was burned up ehrn I bought it so I slipped in a 383 magnum I bought at a salvage from a wrecked Super Bee :evilgrin:

[Fumesucker]

53. My Sport Fury had a busted starter for about four months..

It was a four speed so I just got in the habit of parking where I could roll and bump it off, forward or reverse didn't make any difference, it fired up every time. :)

Buddy of mine had a Monaco Police Interceptor with the 440 he bought from an auction, that was a wicked car, reminds me of the the one in the Blues Bros, when Elwood jumps the opening drawbridge..

[guitar man]

54. LOL

I had a 75 ford truck that was the same way, never did have a starter in it the whole time I owned it, lived on a hill and worked on a hill so I never bothered to put one in it :rofl:

Yeah those cop cars were wicked, had a buddy that bough a Fury III police interceptor at auction, it had the cop version of a 426 max wedge in it and it would literally outrun anything on the road :evilgrin:

[XOKCowboy]

51. My buddy is an old MOPAR freak

It's a sickness I tell ya. He's got 2 Barracudas, 3 Valiants (one a ragtop) and even a Ute from Australia. When he and his other old MOPAR friends get together I might as well go home. :)

[CBGLuthier]

55. When, exactly When did we "get freedom right?"

At the founding, with slavery and the treatment of women?

After the civil war? Jim Crow, Women? Insians? Asians?

1960's taste of freedom shoot them down?

2010 want MY COUNTRY back because of a black president???

Still waiting I would say.

[lame54]

58. After Obama bailed them out?...

they give a nod to the teabaggers?

[Romulox]

59. Obama didn't bail them out--he gave the company to Fiat while the taxpayer assumed the debt.

He bailed Fiat out, if you'd like to look at it that way...

[lame54]

61. i don't

[AnArmyVeteran]

60. Does it come with a 452 engine?
