The Geico spoof is pretty funny. Especially the clearly uncomfortable nanna dangling from the ceiling.

May have been pulled, but I saw it run last night. I guess Chevy expects no one to ever challenge the bull crap they post up.
My wife works for "Flo" and knows how much I hate the Chevy commercials. She was really excited to tell me about their new spoof ad when they were shown them in the office a while back.

The mistake they made was not making stuff up, but by pulling other automakers into it. I love the fact that they folded like a card table as soon as they got called on it.
Yeah, well at least we have the Chantix commercials. That's a real person talking about something he truly believes in:

I don't watch much TV so I'm not forced to watch these commercials much but I don't know why people are so upset about them.
They are the same as every single other commercial. Irrelevant and completely ignored.

Probably the same ad agency that supports (or hopes to support) Toyota and Honda too. Don't want to bite the hands that feed. The crock of market research was probably included with the campaign.
I haven't read this whole thread so maybe this has already been mentioned but.....speaking of REALLY bad commercials......what about the new Lincoln/Matthew McConaughey ad? Massive stupidity. I thought the previous ones were stupid but this takes it to an all new level. Or the Volvo ads. It's hard to tell what they are even about. Damn. Hurts my brain. Of course all this is IMO.
Those Chevy ads are clear signs of the decline of Western civilization. Unspeakably horrible - I can feel my brain shriveling up whenever one come on.

I’ve always said, if you have to struggle to understand the ad, it failed. Unless the company just wants to discuss the ad because there’s “no bad press”?
It may have been mentioned but Progressive Insurance has a spoof of these Chevy ads. “Jamie” even exclaims “A BIGGER ROOM” when the camera pans to those vast open warehouse-type buildings normally holding a few Chevy’s under covers.

I've seen that ad at least a dozen times since it was allegedly "pulled", one of which was last night.
Doesn't make them any less stupid.

The article I read was saying that Chevy cherry-picked a very odd set of statistics from 2015 to try to make their claim.
Then challenged by Toyota, Ford, and Honda on it.

I think the most bizarre one was the one where he's driving along and then comes up to the bull standing in the road, and kind of muses about the bull's name and reputation while doing that weird thing with his hand, and then whips a U-turn and drives away. WTF?

I love this one, “what! A bigger room!”
