Killer ad. I loved the sounds, as did the people down the hall that could hear it ripping out of my cubicle under the stairs! I dig the cuts, and laughed at the turn from the beachfront in Rio down the turn in Monaco.
I'm gonna have to put LeMans in the vhs player tonight and crank the surround sound system.
Proof that no matter how hard we try, we can't escape the rape. Think they will put out an even sweeter commercial one gas finally hits three dollars a gallon! It'd be so worth it too. More ferraris, more locations, BIGGER BUDGET!
Commercials used to be informative, but now advertisers like to keep the product they are selling a big secret...
All you need to know is... Hot ferrari that YOU can't afford, exotic scenery of "popular" well renound places, bikini wearing beach hopping brazilian girl with twinkly eyes and glistening skin, wise old man giving an approving gesture.
Nobody that has ever pumped my gas (it's illiegal to do it yourself here in Oregon) has ever looked as clean and healthy as that stop watch brandising old dude. How about you get someone that REALLY works at one of your gas stations to be in an ad?
That being said I still don't know jack sh1t about what v-power is, what it does, or why it should be going in my tank. Let alone how it differentiates (if it even does) from whatever gas is in my tank now.
SHELL OIL CO. GO **** YOURSELVES
P.S. Sorry if I sound like a overly angry, picket sign holding, tree hugger. I'm not really, I just can't stand advertising. Especially by someone who claims that they they would be taking a huge loss if they didn't charge us what they do and than make the MOST EXPENSIVE COMMERCIAL EVER. Some customer appreciation those guys have.
Who cares if it's a commercial, who cares if they're trying to sell us something we don't need? All I care is that the two minutes I spent watching that, I was in awe of how amazing those cars are. Film is an artform, unfortunatly, you can't really afford be a film artist unless your films makes money. As someone who enjoys a nice car, I found that commercial amazing.

ditto. plain and simple, that was entertainment, and I personally enjoyed it. I know I'll probably never drive that car or drive that fast or visit those places, but I liked seeing someone else do it. And if you're really that bothered by how they spend the money generated by their product, ride your longboard and take the bus. Stick it to them, don't b1tch on the web about a cool commercial.
The reason they kept the product a secret is because it is a lot more interesting and capitvating that way. If it had started out like "we're shell and we make stupid gas that is no different than anywhere else" then you automatically have an opinion on that. Instead you sit there eyes glued to the screen checking out some of the most beautiful machines man has ever created like "damn! that is som wicked sh1t!". Then it gets to the end and ur like well fcuk shell but that was a dope commercial anyway. I am personally glad it was another dipshit commercial talking about how their fuels burns cleaner and showing a bunch of stupid fcukin fish swimmin around. In Italy the people who pump your gas don't look all disheveled because they get a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day and the people who they pump gas for are usually tourists with gobs of money who willing willing pass it out just for tipping your hat to them.
But I feel you man, the commercial is definitly a testament to how bad they are sodomizing all of us with horrendous gas prices. But at least we can get a little eye candy out of it. God knows Exxon-Valdez ain't gonna give you a reach around
