NTNOCN - Fiat - Built by Robots

[MidlandNinja]

I dread to think who Fiats were and still are built by cuz whoever builds them doesn't have much in the way of quality control

[durotube59]

Anyway, the car built by robots was NOT a Strada (Ritmo in Italy) but a 132.

[Mr50fan]

The average fiat had rusted out before the micky could be taken out of it!!!

[MidlandNinja]

Why did they put a Vauxhall Viva in at the end

[projecth112]

@MidlandNinja Yes it's been pointed out already that's not a Fiat at the end. I am sure the makers of NTNOCN were aware of that as well. The intended humour is the car tumbling end over end, regardless of the marque. I'm guessing they didn't have footage of an actual Strada biting the dust.

[FelineGuitars]

based on an original Fiat advert for the Fiat Strada from about 1980

[AustinSomerset]

Pssst! Don't tell anyone but that's a Vauxhall Viva HB at the end. :)

[ColonelLeisure]

That was the ad in the 70s. I think it might have been deemed offensive and was taken off but I remember it as a child on TV. Brilliant!

[Myndir]

If the Italians were as good at driving as they are at high culture and food, they would conquer the world.

[Sylderon]

@Myndir And if they were as good at fighting, too...

[ziclepickle]

just been to rome, funny stuff! ^^

[GWR3440]

It was an actual Fiat commercial until the last bit.

[00bean00]

Really! That figures. How did the original end?

[GWR3440]

@00bean00

The TV commercial stopped where it came out of the Fiat plant,

[00bean00]

Do you or does anybody here know the name of the piece sung by Pavarotti here?

[GWR3440]

Largo al Factotum from Rossini's Barber of Seville.

[00bean00]

Ah, so it is the same one as the 2-minute Strada commercial. I didn't have time to finish watching that one yesterday, but the beginning was certainly familiar.

[Sylderon]

@00bean00 "Largo al factotum" from "The Barber of Seville" by Giachino Rossini.

[usernameofnobody]

That was bad driving even by Neopolitan standards LOL.

[altractors]

Great!

[JBFrenchhorn]

What was the music?

[mubd1234]

Figaro

[WJCairns]

Brilliant! of course, nowadays this would get you in court as a racist - but thanks for reminding us of what good comedy was like before our oh-so PC era...

[1987carlo]

I'm Italian and I'm not offended. This is brilliant!

[fuckamericanidiot]

@1987carlo unfortunately this wouldn't happen on a bbc2 comedy anymore

[Roland32123]

[johnnaraspanathas]

I am a Greek and i can tell you we are worse drivers than the Italians.

[gagothesith]

You know what they say, "Hell is where the drivers are Italians, Greeks and Filipinos."

[PatchesRips]

@gagothesith What, no Quebeckers? :)

[Frankster177]

Umm its a vauxhall crashing.

An English car made vy a company owned by Americans.

LOL there are no english cars anymore.

All are owned by other countries.
