You are weird. The Hummer ads are totally forgettable, except for the one that pisses me off because it shows an H2 cruising fast across what appears to be rock-strewn desert. Except it isn't, because when they pan around to the front, you see that the H2 is really driving down a nicely paved 2-lane blacktop... which is actually a sadly ironic commentary, which I doubt they intended.Originally posted by M5Power
Best on TV, no?
And I usually never watch the adverts, but these are so damn kickass you just have to watch them.
The two I'm thinking of are where the kid builds a cardboard Hummer for a soapbox derby, takes a lot of crap from the kids who built actual cars, then goes on to win after short-cutting off-road and the brilliant one with the asteroids game (Which, granted, was filmed in Joshua Tree National Park, but hell if I knew that).Originally posted by neon_duke

I think they'e obnoxious. They show Hummers driving in environments that nobody will ever go to, like the Arctic Circle? Yeah. That's real. Why not show somebody parallel parking one, or one stuck in traffic?
Well, those do sound pretty cool, but I've never seen them. I pretty much have to agree with what milefile wrote above, though. They should also never ever show a Hummer dirty, because I have yet to ever see one that didn't look like it was detailed that morning, because the tossers that own them lavish so much attention on the damn things and never drive them farther offroad than the grass at a Little League game.Originally posted by M5Power

I think they suck. Those commercials basically inforce the radical thinking it's owner's have when driving the H2. First off, the soab box one, the kid cheated. He's basically showing to people that when there's traffic that they can just drive off the road which is illegal in most places.
The Asteroids one is way annoying with the "bier, bier, bier" sounds and distracts from the H2 itself.
Begrudgingly, I have to admit I did see that one and thought it was quite clever. Unfortunately, good ad talent can be wasted on stupid products.Originally posted by M5Power
See post ten.
I agree. GM clearly has money to be spent on advertising; if only they could spend a little on the products.Originally posted by milefile

Do they still make the Hummer H1 (or whatever the previous model was called)?
