  • lol

  • i love this commercial. makes you feel so sad for the robot!! so dramatic too

  • "At GM, we drive our employees to suicide by placing them within a high-stress environment and then we firing them over simple and easily rectified mistakes. Even our robots.

    Drive your car like we drive our workers. Drive GM."

  • Hey do you people ever heard about luddites? Because you're just like them.

  • This isn't a car ad. It's robot propaganda.

  • @DroidNoid So your transmission cooler lines failed and you blew a head gasket. Do you have any idea how rediculous you sound?

  • Everyone who is made must have been laid off by GM... Its a commercial people deal with it. Life goes on. It shows how pathetic people are.

  • OMFG whats Iron Man jarvis doing at GM ??

  • Compare this to the Chrysler commercial. GM comes off as a bunch of inconsiderate pricks who don't give a rip about the people they've laid off.

    I will buy a Chrysler before I EVER buy a GM product.

  • Fuck Government Motors. Bring our jobs back assholes.

  • Ironically, this was aired after the electric car fallout and before the bailout!

  • Definitely not worth it, GM ad is not going to make me a buy a GM. I might keep GM in mind next time I buy a car, but I was going to consider GM anyway since it’s a major established brand already. If I wasn’t going to, I don’t think this ad will make a difference anyway. I think the real winner here is the Ad agency.

  • Green Bay's gonna annihilate the Steelers, just watch people, and if ya are gambling, take the Packers and the points! ;o) *woof*

  • isnt that butterfingers the robot from Iron Man ?

  • so its not just humans that got layed off........

  • This commercial is one fo the funniest, and also the saddest that I've ever seen. Overall...my favorite.

  • The mood is destroyed by the ad popping up in the middle of the video.

  • HAHAHA this is hilarious!

  • Gm is the best some of u people are fuc

  • One of the best commercials I've seen. Loved doing a psychology paper on how media affects us on this commercial. Very powerful. Mind you, I'm glad it was a dream for the robot and understand the meaning they were trying to portray.

    Great job!!!!!!

  • its a goddamn robot people...

  • i dont get why this commercial fired alot of people and GM went bankrupt..was on the MSN top slogans

    dont even know what this commrcial means

  • @Camps2630 It's just because of the suicide stunt near the end really. It didn't get anybody fired or layed off. But GM faced bankruptcy in 2009 which ended up laying off more than 100,000 people :)

  • Are you fucking kidding me with this commercial? Who in the hell would let a ad company release this? Fucking brutal..... What's next? A commercial where a GM employee admits he'sa homosexual and gets his ass kicked by his fellow workers? Or how about a GM commercial where all the white workers team up to get a black worker fired?

    Well...At least GM has Suicide covered

  • so cute robot! i want to have it!

  • GM and QUIALITY????

    HAHA!!! Government Motors - they make shitty cars - let them FAIL!

  • Comment removed

  • 0:58 what a joke!

  • Fuck GM

    Check the link

    "An anti-american company" by drinkingwbob

  • Make a mistake, then the workers are out of your money businesss huh?

  • This was released before the lay offs...was this a warning of the future?

  • really..people getting offended by this commercial?

    pathetic

  • hahahaha suicide is funny.

  • @RFsmart

    No, suicide is painless. What it isn't is funny.

  • Hahaha gm could care less. I mean suicide thats what theyve come to?

  • WTF, why did GM come out with this damn commercial, it was like a sign telling every one that they too are going to be fearing this soon!

  • WTF, that wasn't even remotely funny, it was depressing! GM really does deserve to go down the shitter....

  • thats depressing as heck.

  • ???

  • Yeehaa

  • Aw the machine reminds me of what I felt like after getting laid off. Only I didn't DO ANYTHING to get laid off...

  • Hahha, nice ad.

  • don't worry, that robot was put in charge of accellerator pedals over at toyota

  • "Most dependable and longest lasting vehicle out there" all u ignorant retards cant say that about ur car brand can u!

  • After watching the documentary "who killed the electric car" I'm thinking I'll never buy another GM vehicle again....

  • SAAB murded GM.

  • @Dolflu are you born stupid, gm ruined saab

  • @cardesigner5 SAAB was a failing automaker even before GM picked them up. Literally on the edge of death with next to no sales. GM did what it could and gave SAAB plenty of unique features in styling, and drivetrains. But again, no body bought the cars. SAABs failure was the result of the people who didn't buy the cars more than anything.

  • lol funny

  • Is it iron scraps?

  • Any coincidence that McDonald's artery-clogging garbage food is being advertised on this page? Not at all. Next will be a banner for American Idol and then the Obama presidency.

  • The robot gets fired for dropping a bolt. But GM workers have been praised and promoted for building complete shit vehicles since the early 70s. Makes perfect sense.

  • You truly are an ignorant ass.

  • this is a cool general . in which wars did he participate  ?

  • The thing about this video, is that people begin to feel sorry for the machine. Because the way the machine is portrayed, This is a human trait, and only one found in humans, which makes us unique, but at the same time, so very stupid.

  • why does this video have so much penis in its asshole?

  • animal abuse

  • Great!!!!!!!

  • Poor little guy :(

  • Think about the actual situation of GM...

    All robots are goingo to be used for things like this

  • I WANT IN BOYS!

  • MORE HELP HERE

  • aww it was so sadd. until he woke up. :)

  • GM cannot build not shit but ugly trucks that fall apart in 3 years. Piece of shit tries to bring all their shit to China but still get money from American government. Fuck GM!

  • Pontiac = poor old nigga thinks it a cadillac

  • GM = government motor

  • What the fuck? What was GM thinking when they let this shit get released? Not really the appropriate commercial to run after laying off...every fucking one who ever worked for GM.

  • @Phelan666 , GM think? That will be the day. This commercial is incredibly embarrassing. They are the most insulting auto company that exists. They make crap for 35 years or more and expect us to pay top dollar for it, then when we don't, they have the audacity to complain about it and rob us of billions of tax dollars, then they have the gall to run expensive ads for more of their CRAP like they are doing now!

  • @Phelan666 this was released before the crisis so yea its not as "stupid" as you may think

  • @Phelan666 Look at the fucking date of the video, it was before all the economic collapse.

  • Comment removed

  • @Phelan666 GM had to do some rethinking about the appropriateness of a fired suicidal robot after there were a number of complaints. There's a version #2 where they show the inside of a junk yard as the scene that brings the end of the robot nightmare.

  • @Phelan666 dumbass, this is from 2007, when GM was still the largest company in the world and employed more than 250,000 people. they didn't lay anyone off then. learn ur shit before u say anything

  • @IwatchACDC GM isn't even close to the largest company in the world coca cola is the biggest and then wal mart and for cars it's toyota get your facts straight bro they weren't even the biggest car company in north america ford was by a small amount but they still were ahead in 07

  • @Phelan666 FAIL

  • @Phelan666 haha that sucks, my family still has their jobs :D 

  • @Phelan666: See theres this thing called the superbowl. They were going for funny. They got it. But people like you made sure my kids didn't see it once on TV. I made sure they watched it 8 or 9 times on the net though. I'm pretty sure if you teabaggers wouldn't have mad such a problem, it wouldn't have been an issue. But, you're just not that smart are you? Part of that was sarcasm.... Figure out which part..

  • @Phelan666 ABSOLUTELY! HUGE over sight. Jumping off the bridge? WOW.....

  • What a bunch of dumb asses. After seeing this commercial, it's no wonder GM had to file for bankruptcy. It's like as advertisement for the purposes of dissuading sales , not encouraging sales.

    Obviously they don't even have the smarts to pay attention to what their ad agencies are doing to let a commercial like this be released...

  • Anyone can tell me what's the name of the background song?..

    btw looking forward for the new Chevy Cruze..!! =D

  • anyone can tell me whats the name of the song in the background thx

    btw...looking forward for the Chevy Cruze!

  • It's 'All By Myself' by Eric Carmen

  • Cadilliac = Sucks and are only driven by OAP's who live in Florida.

    Chevrolet = Sucks apart from the Camaro.

    GMC = Pointless & Sucks.

    Buick = (Isn't Cadilliac GM's luxury brand?) Sucks.

    Pontiac = Was Cool but are dead.

    Saturn = Why did they exist?

    Saab = A great car company F****d up by GM and are now dead :(

    Hummer = The reason why global warming exists.

    The only good company I can think of that are still with GM is the Opel/Vauxhall.

  • @GamingGod999, Cadillac is GM's luxury brand, however the Buick brand is very huge in China. GM is a global corp. And China is bigger than the USA. has more people than USA, and is riding a new wave of democracy and strike-it-rich climates, just to give you and idea of what I'm talkin about here. Pontiac was cool, but no one was buying it, the rest of the brands are self explanatory. What is an OAP? Saab was just an acquisition...

  • @BlogShag Pontiac was GM's second biggest selling company behind chevorlet in America. An a OAP is a old person and Saab could sell as many cars as Volvo or Lexus if GM payed attention to the company.

  • @GamingGod999, what you say is true, but perhaps Pontiac would still be a good selling brand if GM knew how to build a car that doesn't fall apart within 2 or 3 years. My roommate had a Pontiac,so I'm not just speaking fluff. It was biggest piece of shit that I was ashamed to even to call a car- It was pure junk. It was about as much of an engineering marvel as the Chevrolet Citation.

  • Riding a new wave of democracy is similar to your riding your mother?

  • @Oh Gee johnferinal, you read so "clever" -- NOT. Think you've got me all figured out? I'd be more inclined to ride my stepbrother, but my mother ? NEVER.

  • dude STFU!!!!!

  • @GamingGod999 I agree with Pontiac being cool. Have you guys seen the Pontiac G8, now that is a proper sedan.

  • I could almost agree with you but the part about Hummer.Global warming was around long before Hummer.

  • @GamingGod999 GM Australia (Holden) is way better than GM Europe (Opel and Vauxhall). Holden makes money. No attempts to shed the brand in the reorganization.

  • this is dumb

  • this almost made me cry in the middle fo the super bowl!

  • to defence of gm they did build a good car. ev1 if anyone remembers it. too bad those idiots burried the project as it didn't appear to make much profit. they wanted more and ended up with nothing. ironicly ev1 could help or even save the company when oil prices skyrocketed...

  • The EV1 was not good until they got a decent battery for it.

  • until is the key word. when they did it was just fine. nothing is good UNTIL it becomes better :P

  • It still wasn't any good. Sure, it's a pretty nice vehicle if you're lucky enough to be able to lease one. But GM can't take huge loss on every unit and make it up on volume.

  • @soylentgreenb, if the EV1's were so bad as people like you claim, why were those that leased them so upset when they were forcibly confiscated?

  • 派遣期間工さんと重ね合わせて見ると本当に泣けてきます。最後は­夢おちで良かった..

  • This video is what should have happened to GM. "The robot" represents GM. They messed up their work and should be in bad buisness, being universally ignored and bankrupt to the point where they should end their company. But then they get scared of doing that, since they're so obsessed with money, and then they keep doing their work (and hopefully a lot better than before) without messing up again. GM is horrible. They even brag about their cars and put down Toyota and Honda, which are better!!!!

  • They should end their lives, too.

  • I meant GM should.

  • fuck all you GM haters i'm still buy GM..say what you want about me!!!

  • A car is a car is a car. Grow up.

  • fuck you man who are you to tell me to grow up!!!!!!!

  • Ha ha. Sensitive NFLdude! Ha ha.

    Sorry. I meant "grow thicker skin"

  • GM blows.

  • STFU...why you on a GM video?

  • Comment removed

  • LMAO piece of shit GM cars LOL ..

    GM and quality .. yea what an Oxymoron... I guess they meant GM and (inferior)quality... woot woot

  • Great Commercial. American Cars are still better than germans. That´s my opinion

  • sorry my impala shits every day,sucks wish i hade somethink else

  • GM rips off Veterans.

    I invited the new CEO and GM Chairman to meet me on TV but they are scared to face my evidence.

    Yellow thieves!

  • You guys are sick! Sick I tell ya!

  • No KennyboyGM, actually they're opening up factories right in your "back yard" ya dumb ass redneck. Let me guess, you only made it to the 9th grade? Even my Chrysler has better resale value than any of the crap your beloved company General Morons makes.

  • i love how GM was making this stupid commercial when this scenario was a complete reality, when you sub the robots for actual human beings that is

  • Exactly my point. GM will always be lame. They proved that with this commercial they let air.

  • GM (Government Motors) Makes shit cars...Buy German cars, they are the Best

  • This commercial is disgusting not because GM makes crappy cars, its because of the content of the AD. With so many people who have lost their jobs in the name of cutting costs, this advertisement is a tad bit inappropriate. I really don't think it aided in the already high levels of animosity I am sure the laid off workers feel towards GM. Oh and look what happened only 2 years later...GM falied as a company and was bought by the government. Epic Fail GM.

  • This ad is in bad taste, but keep in mind it came out before the global economy tanked.

  • General Motors = General Morons

  • Simply, I don't wanna buy a car from GM, the company who create that commercial video, but doesn't try to solve real problems of the working conditions.

  • fuck you jew

  • bobert21, ya know , you don't see people complaining about Ford or Chrysler. We are not anti- American, we just don't like General Motors, and for good reason. This commercial speaks more volumes about that corp. than you'll ever realize.

  • GM is obsessed with "Quality"? ... Yea good luck with that..

  • OK, LoveTheSupremes, how about you don't fill in the whole page with retarded comments.

  • Now that's a laugh. GM is No.1 in quality? If they gave a hooty tooty flying priest fornication about quality, they wouldn't be in the position they are in now would they? Their Volt sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl.

  • What the hell is wrong with you people?

    The point is this add is awsome, sad and cute, and that it was just plain good enough to make you search it up later.

    Who cares what the company is like, if you wanna bitch about GM go find an argumentative forum where that's appropriate instead of leaving DUM comments on a youtube page.

  • And what the hell is wrong with you. It's not cute, it's not sad. It's an ad that says, you're not buying our cars, and we don't care. Gee what a pitch and sell line-- works every time -- NOT. How dumb can a corporation be. And no, I will never own a GM car. I'd just be sending my dollars to China and Brazil. No thank you.

  • "hooty tooty flying priest fornication"

    thats is the lamest shit i have ever read...

  • If they have a hooty tooty flying fornication about quality they wouldn't be in the position they are in now, would they?

  • GM isn't obsessed about anything but money..

  • Unfortunately the robot didn't kill itself, because it seems the commercial is a pseudo-premonition to what happened to GM or what should have happened.

  • Tennessee has been begging Mitsubishi and Nissan to build a plant in Chattanooga

  • After reviewing this ad again, I realized how pathetic it is. It is saying, "Gosh GM can't even program their robots to do the work correctly, let alone their lame UAW members."

    Wow! that makes me wanna jump right up and run down the street and buy a GM car- NOT! What a bunch of dumb derrieres they are to even think of letting an ad like this air.

  • so sad

  • Obviously, this is way over your head, Supreme. The robot screwed up, jeopardized quality and has been fired because of it.

    BTW, my C6 Vette is ALL style and ALL substance. For the price, there is no competition in the area of looks, performance and most importantly, quality.

    Unfortunately, the assclown president that took over GM and incompetent morons he surrounds himself will screw that up too.

  • So we are back to square one. Besides a recent news report claims that this ad was incongruent with GM's goals. That's a warm and fuzzy way of saying, "The ad sucks and was devastating.

    And no one but you was fooled by the ad's lame attempt to strengthen the much deserved damaged reputation of the UAW

  • Your Corvette looks like a very cheapened version of a Ferrari on steroids, and there's another problem with it, it's associated with the name GM.

    You're probably the same guy that drives down the street in a Camaro or Firebird and thinks that's a luxury sports car too :\

  • I don't understand what the message of this commercial is.

    Looks like the robot is saying to hell with it and quitting, and the burden is being shifted to the inferior humans. One more example of GM Retardation. You'll never see a commercial like this from Honda, Toyota, Lexus..cause they have more sense.

    From their ads admitting their cars were or are lame to the insulting "CEO Not Quite" Cadillac commercial. it's clear, they have more than a few screws loose.

  • Jap Tin Cans FTW! GM should just go dig a hole, crawl in it, and die. TOYOTA!!!!

  • I am not sure what the message is here - if you can't build quality products, it must be the fault of the people on the assembly line? Purchasing, cost-cutting, management and so on has nothing to do with it ?

  • nashixe, this commercial can be interpreted in so many ways, none of which are positive. It's the dumbest commercial I've seen ever, in terms of sales goals. It dissuades, not persuades

  • Maybe our friend in this commercial suicided anyways. You never know if his factory got close.

  • lol they were trying to make a fake Asimo? poor GM,Unlike japanese and european companies, they have no tech to make good cars...

  • GM Spends their time and resources building attractive world class cars, not stupid fucking robots. There is not ONE good looking toyota I would have the desire to own.

  • iiiZ28iii what planet are you from, Mars? GM's cars are all style and no substance. GM builds world class cars? World class cars don't survive on looks alone dumb ass.

  • You really just need to shut the fuck up and do some research. GM's models have style and substance. "World class cars don't survive on looks" Then why is Chevy one of the most reliable vehicles out there? Just shut the fuck up.

  • Hey bobert231, what's your last name? CaveMan? Go beat off some more or rape your woman, cause obviously all you think with is your d*ck. ..This commercial is deplorable and does the opposite of what commercials are supposed to do. GM's bankruptcy and corruption says it all-they're not to be taken seriously....Besides, not going to support a sinister corporation who destroyed the USA public trans. system. You're probably proud of this ad. Yeah.. that speaks volumes about you and GM's customers.

  • Ha! you really are pathetic, I could careless about the commercial. It may have not been the best marketing strategy to get the point across, but that's not what I was commenting to you about you imbecile. Read what you wrote. Secondly, why must everyone hit GM with the bankruptcy b.s.? Ford was very close to going bankrupt and they sold Land Rover, Jaguar, and Aston Martin. GM is 3 times bigger than Ford and if Gm went out of business it would be a economic catastrophe for U.S. and Europe.

  • I'm pathetic? You wouldn't be able to see a pink elephant in the room even if you were wearing 3 d glasses. Everyone hits GM with the bankruptcy "BS" as you put it, because of all their lies, mismanagement, corruption, extreme disregard for their customers, and idiocy throughout the decades

  • Style and Substance? I just love the "substance" of the following cars: Cadillac Allante, Cadillac Cimarron, Chevrolet Cavalier, Chevrolet Corvair, Pontiac Astre, EV1 (would spontaneously combust), Cadillac Catera (electrical nightmare), Chevrolet Chevette, Pontiac Fiero, Chevrolet Suburban (friend had her manifold replaced for the 9th time-did lemon law), Pontiac Aztek, Pontiac Grand Am (roommate bought one new, fell apart in 2 years, buttons on panel were hollow, developed holes..ridiculous)

  • You've got to be the most stupid bitch I've met online. um... Ford recalls 6.7 MILLION FUCKING VEHICLES in 2006 because the vehicles would sit then fire would consume the vehicle. Also Ford is woefully light years behind GM and Toyota in battery technology. Indeed, Ford is asking for taxpayer handouts just to stay in the game. So YES you are PATHETIC! Every company has it's flaws, so don't pin point one company and bash on their mistakes. What? you never made any mistakes. GO TO HELL!

  • That's alright. Sip some more of your kool-aid, dumb ass, and stick your head further in the sand while you're at it.

    The Volt sticks out like a turd in punchbowl. Only you can't see that.

  • Wow, that's all you have to say. I guess i was right AGAIN, you are truly a sad pathetic imbecile. You're beyond stupidity. I hope a nice huge Cadillac runs your ass over and ends your life.

  • Ford is asking for tax payer hand outs? GM asks for 80billion of yours and my tax dollars, and gets it, even though they fly to W.D.C in their private jets with their hand out. I wouldn't have given them a toilet to shit in or urinal to piss in.

    Remember, it's not the idea of buying American cars that turns us off. It's General Motors. That's who we don't like. I'll buy a Ford or Chrysler, but never will I lay one cent on GM. By the way, I love my Chrysler 300.

  • yeaa that's mostly michigan tax dollars dumb ass

  • Don't be an idiot! Oh way too late for that!

  • Idiot? Obviously you're talking about yourself. You like to throw your money away on crappy built vehicles. I don't. I love my Honda Accord and Chrysler 300, thank you. And my Honda Accord resale value is much better than that JUNK GM crap you drive. GM is such a mess, it's not even funny

  • Of course Honda resale value is higher, Honda's and Toyota's are one of the best out there. I love Chrysler too. It's funny how you bash on GM about the bail out and Chrysler needed it too Ha! You're a fucking idiot. 80 billion your numbers are incorrect dumbass. GM and Chrysler both asked FOR $56.1 billion. Your such a hypocrite. Ford asked for money too, not as much as the larger car manufacturers did due to Fords tiny dick. Please go drown yourself.

  • You're the moron. GM asked for the most money and sunk most of it into their China and Brazil operations. Yep, keep on buying their "American" cars made in Canada, Mexico, Korea, China, Germany and Australia you dumb phuck

  • Are you fucking kidding me? Take a look around stupid fuck, America is the largest Importer. You think Ford, Chrysler, and GM make and weld everything that goes into their vehicles in the U.S. NO Sherlock! Everything we buy and get is from China. Only some parts are made in the U.S. Go shoot yourself you dumb fuck. GM will always prevail.

  • you're Right GM will prevail !!!!!

  • That's quite alright bobert231, cause the only reason I'm driving a Chrysler 300 right now is due to the fact it's an inheritance, otherwise I'd be driving an Acura.

  • GM was GovernmentMoters 

  • That joke is so last month. A fresh clearer pussy shot of Paris Hilton getting fingered by her latest boyfriend would be more unique and funnier.

  • It is truely sad to see how tyhis turned out to this day like this. To see GM letting gho of hardf workers foir the good of GM. R.I.P. Pontiac, Saad, Saturn, and Hummer. People didn't realize how bad you hurt out of America Brands. Like having Auatrailia help us with the G8 GTO, and so on. Sad.

  • This may come to be real sooner than people hoped. Thousands of jobs gone is just one day.People will start ending themselves soon :( good by pontiac

  • It's more like,"Good Riddance Pontiac." The sooner GM stops embarrassing the U.S.A., the better

  • LONG LIVE 'GENERALS MOTORS'

  • I will happy to have then around until my warranties are both fullfiled. After that, I'm dumping the Yukon XL Denali and Escalade and on my way to BMW and Audi and GM can go fuck themselves along with their miserable dealerships from hell.

  • The robot committing suicide was the point of controversy on this ad. The anti-suicide organization said something along the lines that suicide is never funny, and this made fun of it. As a result, this ad ran once in complete form - the super bowl was it. GM was never able to run it again. Good to see it as I thought this is one of the better executed ads of the super bowl for a car company.

  • ahahahahahaha its so funny cause its kinda lame...

  • didnt they come under scrunity for this ad?

  • DMAX D Motor - Audi RS 4 vs. Subaru Impreza WRX STI
