Advertisers Should Just Quit. Nothing Will Ever Top This Volvo Commercial | Distractify

 

I'm surprised that the trucks were able to move with his enormous cahones dragging along the ground!

Yep, seen that posted elsewhere.

I can barely get my head round how they managed it.

Assuming it was done live/for real, which I surmise it was.

PS

The only reversing to anywhere match that Volvo stunt, was a Gunner/farm worker par excellence reversing a LWB petrol Series III Army Landrover, with attatched Sankey trailer absolutly flat-out, for a considerable distance, like in a 100m or so.

Down a runway.

The slightest twitch or deviation and that yoke would have terminally jacknifed in a split second.

He merely asked "do you want me to do it again?"

[Stephen Blair]

I reckon it's played backwards aswell

[TGB]

Backwards or forwards, it's still a fun advert.

Strangly enough I took it as a "given" that Volvo would not have used such obvious trickery in any way in this ad.

Simply because of the importrance of integrity to their brand image.

Anyway, they were cheating with the 3 white lines painted on the runway for the Drivers guidance.
