Dodge Charger SRT8: Man's Last Stand

Surely you've seen this Dodge Charger commercial by now. If you have, and if there's a Y chromosome in your body, you'll want to see it again. If you haven't, then, like us, you probably didn't watch the Superbowl. Give it the 61 seconds. 

It's worth it.

And then go beat up and rape some women, because that's what the kind of men who create this advertisement do.

I think the car in the video is only a Dodge Charger R/T.

The parody manages to highlight everything wrong and right with that ad...which is kinda depressing...but at the same time, I subscribe to the theory that humor is merely grotesque reality and the fact that the original ad falls into the depressing rather than than the grotesque, means it's not funny...and therefore, neither is the parody...so I'm giving them both fails.

I like the ad. The car does what it's supposed to do perfectly.

orangutan needs therapy.

Look-It's a great ad. Yes it is a a parody to the state of relationships,including marriage,and yes it is over the top on this. Let's face it relationships and marriage
has been talked to death and made fun of billions of times over the last billions of yrs. What's wrong with this type of ad? If it gets a man's juices flowing that he goes out and buys one then it has clearly suceeded. I thought the ad was funny and speaks of the reality that people in relationships need to have somthing that is they can call there own, If not relationships will fail.

Great ad and with the G8 gone, it's the only cool affordable big car left.

A bit crude perhaps but I can't see anyone caring after driving one (the man bag/ male grooming products types will disagree I'm sure).

And congratulations to Orangutan for going 0-to-idiot in just 21 words!!! Your prize for winning is a gift basket containing two NOW promotional calendars, a solar panel for your roof, and a lifetime supply of tofu! Thanks again for playing "I'm a stupid hippie and I should keep my big, fat mouth shut"!!

You nailed it!

Yes, only "stupid hippies" find that ad stupid. It's not like the ad is absurd schlock that dripped from the sphincter of some advertising group that thinks you're a damn henpecked moron who's too cowardly to actually "stand up to your wife". You have to find your outlet the passive-aggressive (read: effeminate) way by buying a car that supposedly caters to your manliness.

"Yes, only "stupid hippies" find that ad stupid."

No, stupid hippies take that ad seriously.
Case closed.

@Orangutan : Maybe if she didn't mouth off so much....

Um... @ orangutan guys who "stand up to your wife" are the ones who "beat up their wives." "Real men" are suppose to take shit from their wives so that there is peace in the family and so that you don't have to beat your wife up. And for taking all that shit we deserve our toys (cars, golf clubs, instruments, $5000 computers). Cowardly is when you let your wife decide everything. Picking your fights is called "being a good husband." I will do all the chores my wife wants me to do because I lover her and also because she won't say shit about by 370Z. Pick your fights men.

At first I didn't understand his perspective, but his last comment made it GLARINGLY apparent...orangutan is NOT married and does not appear to have co-habitated with a sexually viable female for any extended period of time.

As far as the ad...Is that Michael C. Hall voicing over for Fiat and taking stabs at Hobs True-Blood?

mieden says:

11:33 AM, 02/22/10

^^ that would be HBO's True Blood. Stupid ieSpell...

somberlaine1 says:

@mieden

I think so. Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan.
