So very, "How the snowplow driver gets to work"- VW

Barkach's picture 197 pencils

Can you explain how "How the snowplow driver gets to work" is related to this ad?

Ed Mintone's picture 595 pencils

Both suggest their vehicle is more reliable (than a tow truck/snowplow).

Guest's picture

hey barky, are you serious??! it's the exact same idea!

bontjas's picture 221 pencils

this idea feels to easy for me, I can't imagine it hasn't been done before.

Rene Fractal's picture 1430 pencils

Agree. Maybe it hasn't been done before, since this is way too simple... basic level thinking.

nemesis's picture 637 pencils

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Sorry, guys. The whole "towing" idea is passe in Land Cruiser land.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

Amer Sheikh's picture

its simple, great to the point..Thats all you want in an ad. I mean why do you wana take a picture if its done with illustration. Maybe you will have a BIGGER impact than.. but i think its fine like this as well. Totally agree its simple and to the point. Good

gienel's picture 345 pencils

(my Life Is Design & Design Is my LIFE)

global's picture 45 pencils

You're telling me the obvious...

Von's picture

How come people on here think 'simple' can't be great advertising?

abhijeetlakhotia's picture 24 pencils

I think the idea is simple, can be said to be a first thought.
But i dont't get one thing?
How come the truck(or watever it is) is looking as if it is picked???
Any idea anyone????

Tero Ylitalo's picture 319 pencils

It's simple, good and classic turn_the_idea_around advertising. The execution could have been done better though.

"Pastes like shit."

chinaski's picture 877 pencils

"it was acceptable in the 80's. it was acceptable at the time."

Yr's picture 174 pencils

too simple

Guest's picture

Done before a thousand times (because it's soooo first thought). Sorry.

Raf's picture

Actualy the question is how is the front of the truck in the air?
let s fly a litle bit

Guest's picture

Done by VW a long long time ago like it's said before. It's unbelievable a creative doesn't know it : old classic ad.

Brainsugar's picture 991 pencils

Bad art direction and done before in the 80's.
But I accept that you didn't know.

p.s: Ivan, why the html tags don't work?

Nthngmn's picture 632 pencils

how is that the same. In fact, it's a complete opposite.

Guest's picture

i don't understand what the text's saying but the image is the complete opposite.
what do you mean?

...and there is a MINI Commercial with the MINI towing the tow car...
Plus this AD is completetely lacking Art Direction... at least use photography, the car is not ugly...

Soulrider's picture

Thanx VW indeed.

fabiodebrot's picture 29 pencils

i like it. so clean...

drifter28's picture 40 pencils

I like it!!! It represents the number one name of Toyota in towing. Land cruiser is a good vehicle and has a reliable car parts. A mounting lack of basic features and acceptable performance.
