The above video is for a viral for the new Nissan Rogue. But to me it seems almost like the Ray-Ban viral, even down to the laughing in the background. But I also thought the Ray-Ban  viral almost seemed like a scene from Beerfest. Which I guarantee probably reminds some people of something else.

Anyways, the Nissan viral has some tie ins to NBC’s hit show Hero’s. You can read about it here. BTW… that’s the 2nd manufacturer to have a tie in to NBC.

Odd Couple

I’ll be the first to say I like the foreign Honda ads (here and here) over the American Honda ads (here). But I must give credit when credit is due, RPA did a wonderful job with their new Civic Hybrid ad.

The spot plays off the show “The Odd Couple” (it even has the music). One person is extremely messy on his morning commute while the other person constantly cleans up after him. I think it appeals nicely to the Hybrid driver.
