New Elio Commercial

[Sethodine]

My problem is with the VOLUME. I know todays generation is deaf from all the loud music and ear buds, but I give us a break. The volume on this thing is too loud with the volume turned all the way down! And, BTW, I love Benny Hill.

Maybe it's your Youtube volume settings? I didn't have any issues with the volume, it sounded just about the same as everything else. (My employer tests my hearing yearly and it's still pretty good.)

Yeah, I like this one better than the topic starter.

This one is also pretty good with the Benny Hill music (the link will take you to a page that will play one youtube video using the audio of a second video. In this case, the commercial with the Benny Hill theme)

Loved Benny Hill and truly enjoyed the music in this version

My hearing is near perfect. Damn people keep whispering just to irritate me.

Not having a problem with the music and being under thirty kind of makes his point.

I'm an old codger and know exactly what his point was.

I don't like it but...

This is in bad taste and hurts Elio Motors. A commercial for the Elio should be positive and upbeat, not "whatever" this is.

Elio Motors should never again use the advertising company that made this commercial. They have shown they don't have the intuition on what makes a good commercial.

Some people like satire and some don't. The ONION is definitely for those who like satire.

What??? Elio partnered with The Onion? While I love The Onion and The Elio, partnering with a company that makes its living by publishing misinformation does not seem like a great idea.

Ummm... Uhum... Then are they all that much different, given EM's track record?

Yup... Now that EM's insulted or offended (read pi$$'d off) just about everyone in America...
Where, pray-tell, do we go from here Paul?

Political Satire? Yes. It would work well if done well.
This. Epic failure. Refer to previous paragraph.

Except the music! I had to turn down my hearing-aid and pacemaker!

The music is a big part of what gets your attention.
It's stimulating to say the least and you either like it or hate it.
Sorry Willie, but you know what they say about, "If it's too loud..."

I've been all about good (think SNL) satire all my life.
But even some good SNL satire would be out of place here.
You know this thing is garbage just from the stench.
