Ferris Bueller and the Depressing Selling Out of Our Collective Past

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
If advertising has one defining trait, it's imitation. When a commercial is viewed as successful, we can expect copies from competitors falling off the assembly line within the hour. Since Honda's Ferris Bueller ad has generated more buzz than any ... Continue reading ’

Super Bowl Commercials p0ast

QR Code Super Bowl 2012 Commercial
I admit I didn't pay really close attention, but my general impression of this year's Super Bowl commercials was that they were horrible. I had the pleasure of attending one of the best Super Bowl parties I've ever been to, a true monument to American values if there ever was one. I was distracted by food and drink and gambling and drink. I recall a car ad with Jerry Seinfeld still mugging for the camera like it was 97 in which Jay Leno swooped in wearing a cape (pause) and some Budweiser ads where they showed people drinking Bud at [...]

Today's Candy: Yello – Oh Yeah

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
Ever since it featured during the infamous Ferrari scene in the cult 1986 flick, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, "Oh Yeah" has become the ultimate guilt-free anthem for gluttons everywhere -- sound tracking

Ferris Bueller Honda Commercial

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
H/T to LegFu for alerting me to this... the commercial to end all commercials, the Ferris Bueller redux, starring Matthew Broderick as himself, some 27 years later (wow, has it really been that long?)  Ferris was my favorite movie growing up and it still would make any list of my all-time favorites today.  I assume that Honda didn't acquire the "rights" to the movie or something because they didn't go into a full-on copy of the film, but the commercial definitely makes reference to a lot of the highlights.  Not as much laugh-out-loud funny as it is pleasantly amusing and [...]

Matthew Broderick Lives Vicariously Through Ferris Bueller In Honda’s New Super Bowl Ad

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
For whatever reason, I've always loved Ferris Bueller and never really cared for Matthew Broderick. Maybe it was that the seemingly-tight-knit actor could never live up to his character's cool. [...]

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial – “Matthew’s Day Off” Extended Version

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial – “Matthew’s Day Off” Extended Version To celebrate the launch of the all-new 2012 CR-V, Honda brought Ferris Bueller's Day Off back in a big game commercial.  Honda cast Matthew Broderick as himself, skipping out on a day of acting work and living it up in his all-new CR-V. Relive movie history with Honda's fresh twist and wonderful homage to this '80s classic. Think you're a true fan of Ferris Bueller's Day Off? They hid over two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial. Some are obvious, some are VERY subtle. See how many you can find.

Honda CRV Super Bowl Ad: Matthew Broderick's Ode to Ferris Bueller

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
Last week a tease of Matthew Broderick's Super Bowl commercial, where he seemed to reprise his Ferris Bueller character, went viral. There was speculation as to what Ferris Bueller would be selling us and if we'd see Cameron and other actors/characters from the movie. The unedited Super Bowl ad has hit the Internet today and [...]

Here’s that Ferris Bueller Super Bowl Commercial

Official 2012 Honda CR-V Game Day Commercial - "Matthew's Day Off" Extended Version
Here’s the full version of that Ferris Bueller commercial which was teased last week . The ad features  Matthew Broderick  reprising his classic role of Ferris Bueller, it was directed by  Todd Philips , and it's for the launch of the  2012 Honda CR-V . The commercial kinda of sucks. What's interesting to consider in this space is how poorly of a character Ferris Bueller has turned out to be. "Bueller, of course, is the ultimate Reagan-era middle class white selfish prick, exactly the kind of guy who probably grew up to crash the US economy. I wouldn't [...]

Super Bowl Bueller: Matthew’s Day Off Honda CR-V Spot (Full)

Super Bowl Bueller: Matthew’s Day Off Honda CR-V Spot (Full) Of all the Bueller references packed in this Todd Philips -directed spot, the SOCHOIC  plate takes the cake. But does a Honda CR-V really merit a Yello " Oh Yeah… " reprise? Maybe if Cameron  or, even better, Sloan was sitting inside with a cameo. And if it had  this vanity plate . Oh well, there's still the  barking Star Wars dogs VW spot . • •   • • [...]
