Lightbulb VIDEO: How Mercedes-Benz beats them all

Filed under: Marketing/Advertising, Videos, Mercedes-Benz



What happens when you combine corporate tone deafness, crappy 1980s-sounding schmaltz rock (think "Karate Kid" montage-level bad), and several dashes of political incorrectness? You get Mercedes-Benz's deliciously uncomfortable new propaganda extravaganza, "That's How We Beat Them All." Like Jason Giambi's mustache, this thing is so bad, it's awesome.

They

'Could have spent the money from that ad on replacing all the:
'Wiring harnesses that disintegrated on '90s models W124s,
'Transmissions that failed under the STUPID "Filled For Life" gambit,
Etc.,Etc.,Etc.

AND had long time owners singing their praises to POTENTIAL new buyers!

AND have need for an advertising budget of... $0.00

NOW they can't even Bribe the German Taxi drivers to run Mercedes vehicles
...Because they are too unreliable for the Professional drivers.
