My experience....Michelin threads don't wear as fast but ALL of my Michelin tires have "bubbled" up on the side walls! It's unreliable, tire could pop any day and leave me stranded somewhere.
me and my freinds called my cousin michelin man cuzz he had dis big ass north face on and it looked like he could throw tires out dat bitch lmao~ michelin man 2 save da day
@betsiej the song and story is vaguely reminiscent of a track called "fire coming out of the monkey's head" it's worth noting that Michelin changed the music and narration to this commercial and has been airing it recently in the states
CAN HELP SAVE up to 109 GALONS of fuel ...... ahm....... in what amount of time? Isn't that important information? Or who does this commercial adress to?
Jedoch die Bewohner wussten nicht wer die wahre Wurzel alle dem war, den sie waren sehr beschränkt^^, es war das Auto, welches einen Kraftstoff braucht der sehr bald zu Ende geht und somit immer teurer wird. to be continued...
I actually saw this advert on TV today (I remember reading about this and watching it on youtube) however I realised that they had changed the voice from being an Dennis Hopper Sound Alike to some English guy and then also changed the music.
i noticed the fire coming out of the monkeys head song too.. but has no one noticed the sample knock off of Clint Eastwood??? yes its sped up a notch, but the similarities are still there.
i hate it when companies do that.they hear a a fukin great song and they get some random music producer to make the closest to a great song.just ask the people who made the song to use it.
I totally caught the connection between "Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head" and I came on here to point that out. Apparently it was more blatant than I thought, everyone else picked up on it too! That's awesome hahah
I saw this, and I was like ... this sounds reeeeal familiar. Imma huge gorillaz fan and when I found out this was based of Fire Comin out of the monkey's head, i flipped!!!
they think no one listens to the gorillaz so they prob decided to use the song but as you can tell, people do listen to the gorillaz and it is going to cause trouble if damon or whatever didnt allow them to do this. o.0
Yep, somebody at Chiat seems to be a fan of the Gorillaz. Fun commercial. Cool animation. But copying the song is not the same as paying tribute. Makes me want to listen to the real thing now.
This ad draws on Michelin posters of the early part of last century where The Michelin Man pulled tyres out of his middle to help the motorist - still doing it I see!
I only watched this commercial for the music,the computer graphics,and oh yeah of course the Michelin Man.I remember there used to be a Michelin station directly in the backyard of my grandma's house being that the backyard looked slightly like a junkyard.
