I just saw it again on Facebook. It's not unusual the last few years for super bowl commercials to appear on internet the week before super bowl. Maybe they decided to stop that. One of the best parts of super bowl is the commercials. Even non sports fan will tune in for the commercials.

It was due to air tomorrow. From what I understand it wasn't a Superbowl ad, but due to air during a programme about the best Superbowl ads that was on tomorrow.
Someone from Hyundai pressed the button to upload it early,

I also did some screenshots. I didn't edit them though, because my editing skills are pretty much non-existent. My screenshots can be found here: imgur.com/a/NrWEhj7

The thing with the Boston accent reminds me of two commmercials Suzuki did in Denmark a few years ago. They had a guy who bought a new car talking with his girlfriend. He spoke with a very heavy Sønderjysk dialect. This is a dialect that's spoken in the Southern part of Denmark and many Danes from rest of the country find this dialect to nearly incomprehensible. In fact, the YouTube version of the commercials even has subtitles in Danish for the dialect bits It's very funny and well done. These are the commercials I'm talking about: Translation: Girlfriend: What a nice car! Wow. What's this? Guy: I got it with a tow bar. Girlfriend: What did you get? Guy: Tow bar. It's for the times when go across the border to Germany to buy beer and sweets. Come, it's going to be very nice! Translation: Guy: I just bought a whole slaughtered pig from Christian Thomsen in Branderup. We can easily fit it into the trunk. Girlfriend: Ugh. That is so gross.

Super bowl commercials are usually a little longer. the average length of a superbowl commercial is 30 seconds. this is because of the astronomical cost of a superbowl slot (4.5 million for a 30 second slot in 2015). remember even AoU, fueled by disney, as it was, just got a 30 second teaser. as a matter of disclosure, i thought, because of the rumor mill, that this was a superbowl commercial, but as it went on, i thought it seemed long.

dawnofthenewathens I love that advert. It's a similar situation in Britain. We have so many differing accents and dialects that communication can be a problem. I'm from the northwest with parents from the northeast and I genuinely struggle to understand Londoners sometimes - pronouncing l as w and th as f so 'thrill' sounds like 'friw'. I can sometimes understand Americans better!!

If it allows you to park in tight spaces without having to open and close the door, that's one thing. But what about the people parked next to you?

Most notable after I go back to Essex for any length of time!
