Pardon our lateness on this one, but it’s been a busy week.
How about that Super Bowl, though?
Yeah, it was not so Super unless you were rooting for Seattle. Still, you probably stuck with it for at least a quarter, right? So you should have seen this historic commercial from Ford in the first quarter.
Or should we say these two historic commercials? Yes, no one but Ford has ever aired two commercials back to back during the Super Bowl. Not only that, but the second ad was twice as long as the first one, or as Rob Riggle (and James Franco) kept saying, “Nearly double” the length.
The dual-spot highlights the unreal fuel economy of the 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid, which has earned an EPA rating of nearly double the average car in its class. The ad is more than just double in length, though, it’s also double in awesomeness, with nearly everything in the second part being upgraded and vamped to twice as cool. Apparently James Franco is worth two of Rob Riggle? Sure, whatever.
