Y'know, it's kind of interesting to see american advertisements where they specifically taunt other companies or brands, we don't seem to have that in Sweden.

I like how casual they're being about the end of the freaking world as they know it (I guess they like REM) and the probable deaths of everyone they know and love.

Chevrolet seems to be the only brand that can survive human extinction. Adjust your purchases accordingly.

Yup. Trash talking your competition is something I wish a lot more advertising companies would do.
Why? Because I enjoy spectacle.

their cars might survive the Apocalypse, but it seems their company couldn't even survive the will of the market. remember when they mismanaged their company to the verge of bankruptcy, only to be bailed out with our tax dollars.

Unless you actually think that the world is ending, I can't imagine any reasonable person being upset by this ad. I mean, it literally rains frogs at the end. IT RAINS FUCKING FROGS.
