Honda Advert: Impossible Dream II 2010

[Harryscarvlogs]

Second best advert EVER! first is the cog obviously

[timspacedout87]

I agree that the original is better, the original had a great epic ending, whilst this one ends with a anticlimax simmering down plugging more Honda products.

[amitchlive]

Fantasic ad, but the original one was better!

[MERCER12OLI]

This set a new standard from adverts.

[bochan72]

Honda, the best in the world　!!

[WesleyHarper101]

I Favorited this! ads are so annoying but this was so beautiful, I always waited till it came on ;'')

[filipporicci1975]

Honda is the only, won in the better competions of car and motorcycle: Formula 1, Formula 2, Indycar, Moto gp, Superbike, Supercross, Paris-Dakar. Honda the best.

[bubster1981]

Makes me a little eary eyed. Beautiful Nmae.

[propertyofranger]

We're performing this in choir, and the problem is that every time I sing it, I think of this ad! LOL, great advertising move, Honda!

[kruxy404]

what an amazing add

[CragScrambler]

ford 90's Driven ad = Honda 2010 ad

Cant choose the best.

[Vadergeek]

I love that random bit of Garrison Keillor towards the end.

Dream of an idea and then do it. Don't get stuck dreaming about it, else you'll never end up doing it!

[darkcesius]

seriusly , its make me cry....... what a legacy from Soichiro Honda! amazing!

[TheHide358]

I love this!

[SkyMagentta]

the best adverts ever

[PigeonsHaveFeelings]

one of the best adverts Ive ever seen in my life.... Im 34297856.

[andytheweb]

Lol. Anyone else notice he farted in the tub? :D I love it!!!!

[arrielfim]

@Kdle123 Could very well be. Thanks!

[arrielfim]

Can anyone tell what is that Honda thing at 2:09? I don't think Honda also produces mini-fridges...

[Moosisaurus]

Its a Honda Heating system and you can order that from here vaillant.de



[arrielfim]

2:16 - What a fart.

[mortegi]

The best advert ive seen in my lifetime....I'm 46

[iDoug03]

Love this video...would be great if owner allows multiple playback on iPhones.

[xpodmaniac]

I first saw this in the HondaJet tent at EAA AirVenture... I've loved it every time I've ever seen it since. Understated, yet to the point, artistic, and, dare I say, beautiful. Bravo, Honda. Bravo.

[YoshiAZ1]

これは面白い!!

[TheAlmightyOne10]

i just like the song :)

[Facilmente27]

Sublime, un 10. No he visto un anuncio mejor en me vida

[MrTarryhoot]

I've owned four Honda motorcycles, superb engineering and handling, I now own a Yamaha, again superb, after seeing this updated version of the ad makes me want to switch back !

F*#$ing AWSOME !!!

[forexpro35]

One of the All Time classic songs to go with a absolute epic & awe inspiring commercial. I am a big fan of all Honda products. The Honda Jet is a revolutionary aircraft. A Perfect 10 as far as advertising goes !

[WesternGamingFilms]

6 Have no soul, and life

[MadameHelgasFolly]

Two words: Epic, Win.

[Manuolo]

Que otra marca sería capaz de hacer un anuncio como este?????

[2thepaddocks]

The guys who developed this ad are very clever, well done !

[pavelow235]

@2thepaddocks Wieden+Kennedy, one of the largest advertising firms based outside of NYC, its based in Portland, Oregon.

[2thepaddocks]

@pavelow235 Thanks for the info pavlow, great ad.

[davidvu396]

@Versatile337 they are going to build a new NSX. it has a 5 litre V10 ^^

[ec123456789able]

inspirational advert ^_^

[222ksh]

and that is y !! no questions,no worries!!!!

[leeroy7003]

From a man who built by bikes from military radios to become japans number 1 bike manufacturer in 1954, then to manfacture cars in 1962 then entered F1 in 1963 to then win its first race in 1965, i tip my hat to Mr honda

[leeroy7003]

@Bokehliciouss

its a 1965 honda s600 the first convertible built by honda, which they based the s2000 on

[TwilightCompunction]

I always wanted this ad to end with a Honda Jet but this version takes a giant turd all over the original. Instead of an inspiring ending showcasing Honda innovation we're treated to this guy driving in a CRZ (arguable the most pointless Honda ever) to kick it in his hot tub. "What good is dreaming if you don't do it?" Soichiro Honda died before his dream of a Honda aircraft was realized. I guess that makes his dream worthless? No, the only thing worthless was the ad agency that made this.

[DonnyThailand]

@TwilightCompunction I wouldn't say that... but I think the jet is the high point of the ads too

[rockstarlagarto]

Lot of inspiration...

[Krathor18]

If Carlsberg Did Adverts.... this seriously is better than the Hot Air Balloon version though :)

[TatersChoice]

A song from an American musical based on a Spanish book sung for a Japanese company's commercial.

Do you feel it? Do you feel the multiculturalism?

[ajtnk0707]

Honda is one and only respectable car manufacturer in Asia.

[TheKumaDB]

Great advert, the original is by far my favorite advert ever, however I this one is no where near as good, nothing can beat the balloon rising up in the original :)

[Phrancis5]

Despite their recent uninspired designs, Honda's history and potential is still awesome...

[gnashalot]

so wait, honda has made a plane?! whats that called?

stunning commercial btw, shows how great honda is. and the imagination of its marketing group :L

[wgfinley]

@gnashalot Called the HondaJet hondajet.honda.com

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

Epic.

[quuu42]

I love this advert, and am proud to say I've owned two of the cars in it - the awesome S200 (I miss you!) and currently drive a CR-Z

[lisashaz39]

lol i thought this was a film , i guess i smoked too much that night lol!

[andyharrop48]

Gona get a Honda next . Brill

[250Trojan]

Amazing! Almost brings a tear to the eye!

The only ad that makes me proud to know I am the owner of the product that the ad is advertising.

[06jorbra]

i was the 300th person to like this and what a pleasure, such a good advert! i love this song

[5eansan33b]

the hot air ballon one was better

[anthony342]

best advert . on a par with the hamlet cigar

[sagilady52]

Wonderful inspirational song that gets you through the short periods of negativity in life. Listening to this, lifts the soul!

[adreu1]

Honda, another reason why I love Japan.

[krispradez]

@adreu1 japan did not make the ad, its neq zealand

[John234pwns]

They really lost the actual "dream" at the end of the original commercial... to me a much worse commercial. Kinda feels nostalgic though.

[SeriouslyAVlog]

@oOIMKDIOo Andy Williams - Impossible Dream

[telescopereplicator]

That bathtub....that's NOT a Honda !!! Booo..!! ;-) Still...best commercial ever.

[madmonkey2006]

@telescopereplicator Last scene shows Honda's micro-cogeneration system and solar cells.

world.honda.com/power/cogenera­tor/

world.honda.com/power/solar/

[telescopereplicator]

@madmonkey2006 ..Wow....Well spotted! I missed that, totally. Never noticed the solar cells. Thanks. Well....you learn something every day. ;-)

[pengouin85]

4 dissenters have no soul to be touched

[MuFreakUhGoinDumb]

[OVERKILLxxPro]

@MuFreakUhGoinDumb So was I

[Versatile337]

I'm dreaming of a new NSX, what do you have to say about that Honda???

[Tarwin101]

I think I actually prefer the first version. This one isn't bad though..

[ogster38]

lovely tune

[floundericiousWA]

a good one but the original one had better pacing, still worth a "like"!

[glenm346]

should have sang the 'this is my quest, to follow that star' bit again at the end :)

[primeoliver]

Watch this, tell me you don't want a Honda and I'll point out the liar in the room.

[LLOYD19851012]

i like the original advert better

[JunTakeuchiFanClub]

Honda make the best adverts. :)

[84xennion]

[d1ogo360]

Best commercial EVER!!! One of the best manufacturers in the wolrd if not the best. HONDA, THE POWER OF DREAMS

[sugarraykirk]

I remember seeing this new one for the first time - Had a massive boner with a steak on the end of it, screaming for joy, followed by a massive ripper. Great moment. Greater ad.

[shurwam]

i remeber when i watched this i was like, " sweet this adverts awsome" then the jet came out the mist and i realised it was a new one, i just had a freak out on the sofa :P

[Forestblade]

[vistelu]

Increíble spot, fantástico. Bravo Honda!!

[SteveTheYAK]

[Shan2809]

[Hadra568]

My husband and I both drive Hondas.

[b0rat07]

[deeclear]

[ERST105]

Watched this before going to work a job I hate...

[mrsid6581]

It's so much better than the original version, it's not even funny...

[goblin815]

Honda do the best adverts. fact.

[BENebuchadnezzar]

It's back, it's bigger and it's better than ever!

[smilli3]

Every time I see this it makes me happy that I own two Honda vehicles. Do they really make jets?

[ivandjovanovic]

@smilli3

They do indeed, search google for hondajet

[unclecolt]

Damn thoughtful and well-done. A truly inspirational ad.

[250Trojan]

So glad it's back on TV.

This advert makes me proud to be a Honda owner!

[raeka4eva]

Aweome video.....seen some crackers in my time....im old.....and this ranks as 1 of THE BEST EVER........well done to Honda i say

[stevethepocket]

Wait, wait... was that voiceover at the end... Garrison Keiller? O_O

[liedeca]

How can people dislike this commercial?

[MrKoiking1]

love this advert 10/10 ( and the song. i dont care if its not cool

[Toby4929]

Sublime.

[mrsid6581]

The original is not by Jacques Brel, but from the Broadway musical Man of La Mancha. There are lots of great versions of this song, in many languages...

[kizersuzi]

i wonder if that bald bastard actually drove all those vehicles????

[slpaisley]

@kizersuzi yes I did drive them all. well, only the ones that wouldn't have killed me. and i'm not TOTALLY bald. best, honda hero

[TheKnightofCydonia1]

One, if not the the, best advert ever made! The second version is only an improvement!

[jamesfish18]

Best tv advert ever i agree, it is certainly the best advert of 2010 so far.

[gpzDave]

[JAKAVELI1990]

[TheZedsdeadbaby]

[Hadra568]

@JAKAVELI1990

"The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha

[jacksite2007]

weird, i watched the old version on youtube yesterday, co-incidentally i saw this new version today on virgin one. longest and perhaps the best advert ever. sorry cadburys, your monkey and your airport ads just doesnt match these new standards =)

[Ducken]

Such a great ad...up until they start showing the CR-Z and the Insight...it goes from "Honda, soul and passion" all with vehicle people want and cared about...then it goes to "Honda, we don't care anymore" with the eco-boring crap and the moped...really?

[motosteev]

gay...

[TheGuGeZ]

seen it on tv and i had to see it again

[bluboy64]

Amazing advert, new version even better.

[reza2638]

brilliant :))))) love it

[chriswazza]

[sobal79]

I was goong to wrote that...:)

best ad ever!!!

[clane24753]

best advert ever 10/10

[72evo]

Paniflax -- With your comment ref build quality of Honda cars, how bad are they then? the're always in the top 20 in the JD power survey, and S2000 was No1 for yrs and I believe they make the best engines in the world!

[Galaxar94]

[bikesruleass]

@Galaxar94 andy williams, impossible dream

[motosteev]

@Galaxar94 andy williams.... cant take my eyes off you etc...

[westpunjab73]

My favourite advert has just got better!! love it

[meatius]

[meatius]

Impossible Dream by Andy Williams

[deltop1]

class this

[machikador]

The original song is from Jacques Brel, a famous belgian singer, the title of the song is "la quête" , source : a belgian ;-)

[machikador]

In case nobody realised, the original is from Jacques Brel - Ma quête. Nice advert though...

[ukvespa]

theres a clue with the song name in the title.. impossible dream .... and the new parts start with the jet coming out the water .. before it was a balloon then it ended

[hmmdusty]

you can tell the new scenes in it.... hes got grey in his beard lol

awesome

[Chris0151Mc]

Whats this song called

[Tevez2468]

Who is that guy? WHAT A HERO!

Anyone got a name?

[yeltzman]

@Tevez2468 English actor Simon Day

[nazcaplain]

Quite possibly the single most inspirational piece of advertising that has been created. I shall now go hop on my '67 CA77 Honda Dream and know that I'm not alone in my admiration for Honda.
