Actually it is great, as a short film, but not as a commercial.
It was featured as an example of a poor ad in a marketing class I took. Studies showed people like and remembered it, a great trait for an ad. But people when asked didn't recall what the ad was for, a bad thing for the advertiser. |

I always heard that they where supposed to be gay. I've done this befor but it wasn't a chair it was a dresser and it wasn't a vw it was a volvo but the guy who helped me load it was still gay lol. Either way it's a super cute commercial. |

It isn't gay it's 2 guys who just moved out of their homes and are in college. They are just driving around LA enjoying a Santa Ana Sunday. Desert winds making everything bright, and wonderful. I did the exact same things a few years ago.
Old chair for the pad, or not; lol. |

Hell-lo! Gay guys picking up dirty, used furniture off the street?? I think not. If they were gay, they'd have been in Pottery Barn :>) |

ilikemike97 is definitely reading too much into the commercial. There's nothing gay about this at all. I never watched Ellen and I saw this on television very frequently for a while. |

Umm, I'm hip to gay people, have gay friends. I don't see this comercial as overtly gay. It's possible they're lovers or it's possible they're just buddies or college roomates. People look a little too hard into things sometimes I think. |

2 collinwoodresident :
With regard to this ad being "2 gay", i think it was like many ads that are aimed at a gay demographic: If u were gay (at that time), u would probably have perceived the gay subtext; if u were straight but "gay sensitive" (cool with gay issues and had gay friends) u would have probably also picked up on it; and lastly, if you were totally out to lunch, you probably would not have figured it out or enjoyed the vignette. |

I remember seeing this ad (4 the 1st time on the episode of "Ellen" where "Ellen" came out for the first tv "outing"- it was clear from the placement that they were going 4 a gay target audience with this ad. However, most people to whom i spoke the following day did not get it- we were a far less sophisticated country in '97 with regards to gay rights/gay issues/gay awareness etc.
Interestingly, everyone i spoke 2 dug the song, tho. |

I was in high school from 1997 to 2001 too. It reminded me of football Sundays. |

The only car ad that made me want to buy a car. And now, VW is likely going to pass Toyota as the world's largest car manufacturer. Pretty good for a company started as a hobby by Ferdinand Porsche and promoted by Hitler |

Well, I was in High School from 1997 to 2001, and I think in either 97 or 98m classmates were occasionally chanting this song at school, because of the VW commercial. |

Has to be my favorite commercial of all time. My friend says that they stopped airing this because it was quote "to gay". I never heard this before. I'm a gay man so it makes no difference to me. I just think it's a great commercial. Feedback please ! |
