Renault Logan: Isn't It Awful When Things Get Crowded Together?

The Auto Insider — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:30:00 EST

We sometimes come across a funny ad that we just don't get. We get these ads for the Renault Logan. They're crude, of questionable taste and utilize glorious word mashing URLs.

Now if only the U.S. advertisers could get away with something as bold as this. Created by Exclam Comunicação out of Curitiba, Brazil, these ads play right on the line of being funny and distasteful. And if you know us; that's exactly what we like. We found another, but we're not so sure it's funny — more sad and worrisome: therapistfinder.com

Renault Twingo Brings Strippers And Moms Together

The new European commercial for the Renault Twingo is a reminder of the old country's ability to have fun little econoboxes like the Twingo Sport mixed with saucy, suggestive advertisements. Conceived by advertising firm Publicis, the safe-for-work 30-second spot proclaims "we live in modern times" though, in America, we're not quite as "modern" as our European counterparts. We'll just have to be content with being Saved By Zero. [Ads Of The World]

Renault Asks Why Only Movie Stars Get Ecological Cars

Matt Hardigree — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:30:00 EDT

Here's another creative ad from Renault that's just as the funny Renault Megane GT commercial, though with less big-bottomed girls on bikes. It involves talking leaves, dancing stars and one bewildered Production Assistant named Willy. Is this what a car commercial directed by Luis Bunuel would look like? Even better, we have a translation from M0L0TOV below the jump for those who do not speak Spanish.

Translation

Why is it that moviestars can have ecological cars? (young man with leaf in hand). We make the moviestars look younger (makeup artists). The ones that manicure their pets (doggy groomers). We fall to the ground in your place (stuntmen). We want an ecological car (chorus) We try to marry you for your money (golddiggers in bikinis) We collect everything you touched (nerds and geeks holding up garbage and a drawing of a thong) The ones that clean this giant sign. (guys cleaning the Hollywood sign). And the ones that feed you (people in the videostore with dvd's). We, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, will finally have, an ecological car, HEY (giant crowd of people). Like all the movie stars, an ecological car, is what we want to have. (cars driving around). Is this reality or is it a dream? (young man). It's real Willy, it's real (talking leaf). I hope it makes more sense to you now.
