In fact, it worked so good, someone decided to post it on an HD forum website, and expose it even more.
I'd say it's a go, even tho a bit 'cheesy' by most standards, nowadays.
I couldn't agree more. I'm from CA and growing up here, we have always had Cal Worthington (Worthington Dodge) and his dog spot. Spot was never an actual dog. They were anything form a elephant to a bull and eery animal in between. Yes the were goofy but we couldn't wait to see what he would have next. This dealer is still going strong. Your statement " nowadays" is unfortunately very true, when did a commercial start having to be a top dollar Oscar Production to to get our attention? Top dollar advertising budgets equate to top dollar prices to keep up.... where does it stop?
I thought this commercial was funny. Just my $.02
