  • 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.

  • @nyrolf87 Lmao.

  • Betts tires ever.

  • @3319Adrian lol i thought you said tits

  • I think they should make a mini-movie length version of this, kind of like Pirelli's Mission Zero movie.

  • Pathetic! How can anyone save money by buying tyres that are more expensive and are no different to Bridgestones??

  • That evil gas pump still feeding off people hard earn money them tires and doin shit gas in michigan 4 dollars a gallon they foolin

  • whats exactly copied form Gorillaz? Sorry for my ignorance

  • @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

  • Michelin-ukko ftw

  • whap a cheap ass he only gave 2 tires to each car!!!

  • It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow man's brother.

  • Gudda Gudda from Young Money and the Michelin Man look alike

  • gorillaz rip offfff!!!!!!!! you owez them some moneyz

  • ERECTIN' A GIANT DISPENSER

  • Evil fuel pump? Do you mean Evil Chancellor? (most of the cost of a litre of petrol is tax).

  • fuck yea! how dare u rip off the gorillaz!

  • You guys are right its remarkably similar to Gorillaz.

    Its still a funny commercial thought, especially at 0:18 when the Michelin Man starts throwing tires at the "Evil Gas Pump", Lol.

  • Do make things worse, I think I saw this commercial just hours after hearing of Dennis Hopper's death.

    This commercial needs to stop.

  • Copy!!!

  • John Goodman with the voice over, correct?

  • Just saw it on tv, googled it, got pissed.

    they DO owe Gorillaz money

  • I knew it was GORILLAZ

    They totally ripped off the tune

  • 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?

  • @cc8277 It's over the whole lifetime of the tire.

  • 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...

  • TOTAL RIP. shame on the advertisers.

  • michelin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great commercial!

  • Take that in the ass, BP!

  • 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.

  • DOE BOY TO THE RESCUE!!!!

  • is it me or does he look like the stay pufft marshmallow man

  • lol

  • Fucking hell!! Is this real or an animation? Did this really happen?

  • @MattTheOak Animation all the way

  • @FurryWrecker911 sarcasm all the way

  • GO MICHELIN MAN

  • schwachsinns werbung

  • I just did a report about propaganda, and finding manipulative commercials, i chose this one. Along with the mac and pc ones

  • ps i completely thought they ripped off the gorillaz Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head

  • Comment removed

  • Does someone know the name of the song?

    Alguien sabe el nombre de la canción?

  • I love these animated commercials.

  • sweet animation. :)

  • The very first time I saw this commercial it took me about 6 nanoseconds to pin this ripoff. Okay, maybe not 6 nanoseconds, more like 6 seconds...

  • @sling2000 congradulations, now shut up it's not that impressive.

  • @JohnBrody23 Your point?

  • This totally doesn't remind me of anything. And If it did, it wouldn't remind me of track 13 of Demon Days by Gorillaz.

  • Yeah def a ripoff of the Gorillaz's Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head. Laaammmeeee.

  • Comment removed

  • Talk about a rip off. I would be po'ed if I were the Gorillaz.

  • Isn't the Michelin man suppose to be black, since tires are black? why is he white?

  • @Gutsyndicate This is an illuUuUuUusion.

  • Hey this isn't a Gorillaz rip off. This is a commercial your gonna wind up loving to death 20 years from now!!!

  • once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain...

  • It's the Tire in the Mountain!

  • Who is the voice actor here?

  • Yeah i just looked this up to see if anyone else agreed how much of a Gorillaz rip off it is lol.

  • @Sibry So did I. haha

  • Do These people See us as Children? To Be Used?

  • wat song is dis

  • I searched this commercial to see if anyone else caught on to how much of a Gorillaz rip off it is... I'm glad to see there are others.

  • Fire Coming Out of the Gas Pump's Head.

  • These people owe The Gorillaz some money!

  • @BlightyLume I know right! haha.. i was just showing my roomy the similarity. funny

  • 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.

  • .. the mountain called monkey had spoken. There was only fire, and then.. nothing.

  • These producers should be waiting for the Gorillaz cease and desist letter.

    Animation is awesome.

  • ...gorillaz much? xD

  • When I first watched this I knew I had heard it from somewhere, and then the same day I listened to my Demon Days CD...

    "Holy crap...ripped off of Gorillaz! Fire Coming out of the monkey's head!"

    Wonder whose idea was that?

  • Comment removed

  • gorillaz rip seconded

  • the beat is crazy. fire??? nvm.

  • Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's head much? God..woah..other people said that too :p well still :p

  • 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!!!

  • cool animation. i like this.

  • lol yeah it totally reminded me of fire coming out of the monkeys head!

  • I like it.

  • I love that beat! That tune is awesome!

  • Poor Gorillaz! There is not even a MENTION. C'mon, you rip off of a commercial, you! D:<

  • Seriously?

    Can we come up with something original for once?

    Every movie's a remake, every commercial is the same...

  • How to be an advertising creative:

    1. Download some recent pop albums and watch some YouTube clips;

    2. Copy the ideas you like the most;

    3. ???????

    4. PROFIT!

  • He says ASS tires at the end. LMAO

  • Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head.

  • i can't believe I didn't notice the song the first time I saw this commercial on TV! It totally sounds like Gorillaz

  • What a big reference. Gorillaz rules!

  • @MrGorillazhtf i dont think this is a reference, i thinks its called plagiary

  • good on you people who likes gorillaz

    people these days loves listening to music with rubbish lyrics

  • lol gorillaz ripoff.

  • Is that John Goodman narrating this commercial? it sure sounds like him.

  • Copied from watch?v=Sd_ZyLqTd-Q

    Great animation in this version, though.

  • everybody knows the real version is better

  • 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

  • yes, damon said he hate USA because of ads

    sorry my bad english

  • This sounds like gorillaz "Fire Coming Ou Of Monkeys Head" Even the stoty is really similiar

  • 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.

  • i was reading while the commercials were on, and thought i heard "Fire coming out of the Monkey's Head"....it was this

  • just saw this ad today and was trying to see if it was rawls (john doman) but i found every credit except the narrator

  • What's the name of the song?

  • Fire coming out of a monkey's head

  • i just saw this lol i was hopeing to find a reveiw of some sort

  • What the point of this ad ? no concept, no creativity, no fun ....

  • 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!

  • This sounds like Rawls from The Wire.

  • 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.

  • Kind of Swagger-Jacked "Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's head"...but still a pretty neat commercial.

  • I thought the same thing when I first saw this. I would appreciate the commercial more if it weren't for the swipe

  • Total rip off of the Gorillaz!

  • That's exactly what I was gonna say!

  • Yeah! I hate advertising, they steal everything.

  • MY DADDY WORKS 4 THEM :DD :P

  • what song is this

  • er... yeah... already answered... hah

    badasssssss

  • Poor people, getting new tires on only one side of the car. XD

  • kind of a ripoff of this great song, featuring Dennis Hopper!
