With all the crappy American Revolution-themed commercials I keep seeing on my television (cough cough Citizens Bank) I was leery when this commercial came on.
But as you can see, it is a worthy 18th century-themed commercial. Enjoy!
it is amazing how much he looks like Washington- does anyone know the name of the fiddle tune that is being played at the beginning of the blurg? I collect old music, and would love to play it on my cello! thanks much!
I love this commercial so much. :)
ReplyDeleteAs a Guardsman, I will never purchase a Dodge ever. Happy Bunker Hill Day.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
I love it!
ReplyDeleteI saw this commercial for the first time at the gym today. I could not stop laughing. I bonded with the man next to me over it. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's the fact that the guy looks so much like Washington that makes it especially funny.

A tweep (Mythosidhe) said she thought it was from Ken Burns' The Civil War series
ReplyDeleteHow about a car driven by George Washington? (I'm laughing out loud as I write this)
ReplyDeleteIt's meant to sound like the music Ken Burns used, but it isn't. I suspect it was composed for the commercial... after all, there's not much to it.
ReplyDeleteThe best-remembered tune from the Civil War series was Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell."
