boring
It's only boring if you don't know how to read.
A nice copy ad that doesn't make you bored.
You suck at this.
"stay low, move fast"
Doin' it for the points
haha reaction of the dog is quite funny, but a nice ad
and it also reminds me a lot of a breastcancer ad
Hahaha, a great way to show boring features. I like it.
Haha, a great way to show that much boring features. I like it.
what happens to the dog in case of a crash? Does mercedes have a seat belt designed for him too? :)
The S-Class as a typical family & dog car? Sorry, this ad makes no sense!!
not an easy assignment, and i think the ad is pretty good
they met the crammer
but they done it well
The beauty of this ad is that you don't even have to read the huge description of what the Benz does during an emergency stop to get what it's trying to say. Clever approach, especially since it was executed without images.
Exactly the type of copy ads I love : Smart & funny !
i f***ing hate the JVM copycat stuff.
Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.
Ditto! They're a great agency but they really need get over themselves. Love the ad by the way.
boring art direction
Absolutely brilliant. The tightly compacted type and the white space really gives you the idea of what is going on while only having to read the one-liners from the people inside. Notice none of the other commenters said "What, I don't get it." - because they all did and I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut that none of them read the whole features statement. Smart, funny and poignant. Anyone who thinks it is disconnected because no one would ever have their kids and dog in an S-Class probably has neither kids nor dogs and likely couldn't afford an S-Class.

is that a short story or an ad?
First of all, when someone says "an emergency stop" it doesn't always necessarily mean "slamming on the brakes." It often simply means "making an unplanned stopover somewhere because of an inconvenient incident." Like when the baby gets sick and throws up all over the backseat, that's when people are forced to make "an emergency stop" to clean up the mess at the rest area along the freeway, for example.
Also, I've seen quite a few ads with a jam-packed block of copy explaining what goes on in a split second in a machinery. This exact same idea has been executed more than several times in the past (in tv spots as well.)
It's a very smart and well laid out print ad. It just feels at least a decade old in its message and execution.
cool long copy. cool way to show all the features. i like it.
Boring....
Wow. I likey.
A small mistake in the 8th line of copy: "...thus shortening their reaction time."
It could be interpreted as : "the time to react is lesser than before"
Perhaps it ought to have been "...thus speeding up their reflexes(reactions)".
'speeding up their reflexes' would be factually wrong...
'earlier awareness that provides them more time to react' would be a little less confusing than the original imho, but not spot on.
WRT previous post, I meant "... time available to react is less than before".
I know... it's the edit that I think would be factually wrong. :)
Like the idea. Execution doesnt works.
It is boring... And... I do love reading... But reading this txt is crp... and yeah, the point is made even if you do not read it... But you have to guess most if you do not read it... If it is about 0.5 seconds it must take 0.5 seconds to get the point... As it is it is boring nad that's that... BORING
