Dodge Super Bowl Commercial

[JWChessell]

Just happened to see a Dodge commercial on the Super Bowl, where a guy is walking around with a chimpanzee on his back, because he can’t find a reliable, nice looking family car. One of his golfing buddies says: “Hey, do you know you’ve got a monkey on your back?” “Yes,” he replies, “I can’t find a reliable, good looking family car. ” Next thing you know, he’s buying a Dodge and the “monkey” is gone. Apparently no one told Dodge that 1: Chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys; and 2: “Monkey on my back” is slang for being addicted to heroin. And all it cost Dodge was about $1 million.

I saw that commercial also it was kinda funny. I was depressed that the Super bowl (not reallly super yet) is sponsored by dorf. The car they showed was not bad looking for what little they showed it.

Yeah, that GT is nice. Looks identical to the old GT-40. That Dodge Magnum is a sweet looking car too.

I've been thinking that the Superbowl would be a perfect time for Dodge to announce the #1 HP/Torque for diesels -- nothing yet though.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

your average Dodge customer is more interested in wether or not "it's got a Hemi" than what the latest play in the diesel wars is...

I agree. Granted, the Magnum looks nice, but this would have been a perfect time to introduce the Cummins 600. Plus it goes hand in hand with football. What was Dodge thinking?

Simple, they weren't.

Hi John, how's the truck?

I noticed the same thing. Didn't we learn when we were just kids that Chimps aren't monkeys?

Me thinks Dodge is still trying to give there dealers time to sell the old to those that don't know , what we have now.

That Magnum did look kinda cool.

Hey, I like my "OLD" 2004 305 hp Cummins! No smog and pins me to the seat compaired to my old 12v 98'... . Also no cat converter in my exhaust as I hear the 600 has. .

I missed the Dodge commercial but I saw plenty of Cadillac ads



Great game by the way!! Was rootin' for Carolina but it was one of the best I've watched in a long time. Congrats to the Patriots

Interesting that Dodge paid a mill to introduce their latest mini van "durango" instead of promoting the new 600, but the surprise Janet Jackson half time episode raised the ole eyebrows . What the hell is happening in the world? They say that was an accident, but cmon... ..... I guess accidents sell

I'm 100% dodge but that blue oval gt was bad fast and the end of the halftime was just as fast with the janit jackson speed rip off.

Benson:



Truck is fine! Drove to New Jersey and back over Christmas and NYs holidays. MPG betwee 17. 5 and 20. 5, depending on conditions. Managed to dodge all snow on entire trip, except for about 2 hrs of flurries in Indiana on Dec. 18th. Now have about 13,000 miles on truck, but about 7,000 was put on during the trip. On Sunday Jan. 4th we drove 961 miles in one day, still felt like we could do another 150 to 200. Easy riding truck! So far, NO problems.

There's what I think is a good ad for Dodge/Cummins/Bosch in the latest Car & Driver. It's toward the back, and just a 1/4 page ad down the left margin. It says something like "How do you nearly double the power output while reducing noise and emissions and improving fuel economy? Bosch HPCR". There's a pic of a 3500 at the top.



I really liked the ad... simple and to the point!

Have been wanting to post about this commercial for awhile but never got around to it. Saw it only once acouple weeks before the superbowl and can't believe I'm the only one that saw it.



Two guys walk into a restroom and up to the urinals. On the wall between them is a poster of a dodge truck but wasn't sure what model. One guy says to the other " Man, that thing is huge!". Camera pans into one of the stalls where a african american is sitting on the camode and his eyes get real big. Back to the shot of the two guys from the back still looking at the poster and the other one says "yea, I just got it and they added four inches to it" . Shoot back to the stall and the guy still wide eyed takes a quick look between his legs. Back to the two guys and the guy says "yea, and my girl friend said she was going to polish it tonite.



Moderator, if this is inappropiate please delete. Not sure if this is in bad taste for the site but this commercial was on and I was not on drugs or drink. Can't remember what channel it was but someone else must have seen it. I couldn't believe they ran it and would assume must have gotten some flak for it and never aired it again.

I saw that commercial, died laughing. Latest one shows a new CTD leaving a ranch headed for town. Camera is panning the truck as it drives then the saddle in the backseat. Arrives at feed store and a Ford is blocking the loading area. CTD honks and camera shows guy on payphone raise his right arm like he is flipping off dodge driver. Next sceen a tow strap is going on the ball on Ford's receiver. Camera backs off and CTD starts towing the ford , announcer says Dodge has better tow rating than ford. Next scene Dodge parks in front of store.
