My vote for best Superbowl commercial goes to Radio Shack!

[eagle-co94]

I'll insert a link here as soon as I can find one...but it was great!

[David R]

Yeah, that was a great spot, loved seeing the D! But my vote may have to go to another time machine related commercial - my friend was "Mr. Smith" in the Doritos Time Machine commercial!

[eagle-co94]

That was pretty funny too. I definitely was thinking there was some BTTF influence there as well.

[David R]

There was! The director's son was the little kid in the commercial, they had just watched BTTF together and he loved it, that's how they came up with the idea.

the game was a blowout but that commercial made watching the game worth while. :)
So awesome.

GOOD STUFF!

The took the entire window out of that D. It would have been funny for ALF to try to yell out of the tiny toll booth window, though. :)

Since when can a Delorean squeal it's tires? ;)

The car was one of our cars.

[eagle-co94]

I figured that was the case with the website sticker on the windshield.

While I enjoyed seeing the DeLorean in the Radio Shack ad, I think the WeatherTech ad was better. They make great car floor mats/liners designed/manufactured here in the U.S.A.! Had seen their advertisements in airline magazines - and have bought a set for my Mini Cooper; but never expected them to air a commercial spot during the Super Bowl. :)

It looks like it can't - at least it doesn't in the take shown about a minute into this "the making of" video about that Radio Shack ad:

We all were probably guessing that the smoking tires were CG, anyway.

And, yes, the entire side glass was out of the door for Alf, as you can see in a short shot ahead of that one.

That is really superb!
Too bad we will not be seing it on TV here in Europe.

Don't forget to E-mail and ask them for DeLorean floor mats! I've inquired several times, even offered my car for measurement since I'm nearby, no response...

Someone in the other super bowl thread mentioned photo bombing Radio Shack with our cars. I started another thread called Radio Shack Photo Bomb.

Mods - I challenge you to combine these two threads :8ball: (the two about the ad, not Lenny's new photobombing one)

Really? Where in IL do you live? Between you and DMC-Midwest in the northwest Chicago suburbs, I figure there'd be no shortage of local DMC-12s to scan the floor on. Hope they take you up on your offer! :)

I actually live in Indiana, but it's not too far of a drive to their HQ. There are plenty of D's in the area available for them to "laser measure" I've inquired several times, as have others with no response. I would love to have a set of their mats to put over top of everything when I'm working...

I think they are great mats as well for my daily driver, but as Dave S said not exactly nice enough for our Ds. They are very utilitarian. Our cars don't see slush and salt, or mud, so I think our currents mats are fine.
