2005 C6 Corvette Dream Commercial BANNED Removed from TV

[d14d]

Debuted during the 2004 Athens Olympics aired like twice afterwards and yanked from there.

[juniper94]

i remember that commercial, saw it on tv like twice in us.

[KLINGY94]

haha i remember this, i was also 10 when this commercial came out, was jealous of that kid lol but i'm 16 now, gotta permit, gettin the license, and i'm sure i will not attempt or even try to attempt such stunt driving like that kid. awesome commercial :)

[rollingstones1092]

This is literally the best GM ad I've ever seen. To ban it because it portrays children driving dangerously is just stupid. It's obvious that most of the stunts aren't even possible, and anyone who can't tell that couldn't be watching TV. They don't allow it in mental institutions.

[ljbf]

Don't touch my family, or my dog, and never ever touch my Corvette!.

[atomikrobot300099]

In Canada its been aired.

That's with the CRTC too!

[classicrock4ev3r]

makes you wonder whats next? censoring the sports illustrated swimsuit calendar comes to mind but someday someones gonna get bored and attack that saying its expressing sexual inuendos to young girls *sigh*

[classicrock4ev3r]

even the poor kids cant dream anymore how sad

[corakanproductions]

awesome i think every subscriber at this vid would like to do that

[trekohio]

KIA has a fantastic new commercial for the Sorento that is basically a rip-off of this five year old GM commercial. The KIA commercial depicts the car becoming airborn at the crest of a hill and shows a front seat passenger standing on the seat with his (its?) head poking through the sunroof. Where are the safety advocates now? I guess there is a double standard between the dreams of our boys and the dreams of their toys.

[insulatehell]

I hear it was banned due to that wink from the little girl.

That wink doesn't mean you want to play "jacks"...........

[RexKarrs]

@insulatehell Note that she's also a girl of color winking at a white boy. That's still just not done.

[VetteAholicZ06]

I'll tell you this. It should have been aired, and another thing, this commercial by far would have been the coolest car commercial out there :).

[bigrobbie1972]

I love this commercial. Why was it banned? Let me guess...because of the little wink? Whatever! I lived in Germany for 4 years. You should see some of the commercials they air. Lighten up!

[TylerRosborough]

this isent band i saw it on tv in 2005?

[cumminsturbofan101]

got banned shortly after it aired because of the kids driving the cars

[samburger077]

Hah, awesome commercial. Shame the FCC didn't approve. If the FCC had things their way, all TV, radio, & freedom of speech would be banned--just to make sure no one took anything the wrong way.

[chief7718]

they had a disclaimer at the begining of the ad at 7 seconds in saying "this is a dream. do not drive without a licence. obey all traffic laws." so i dont see what the big deal is.

[sk82today]

what was SO WRONG about that commercial?

[linoleumshake]

what ten year old kid hasn't had dreams about driving a vette? what's wrong with this to be banned?

[Asa7]

what 10 year old can drive stick? thats my security for my car, none of my friends can drive stick so i know theyre not going anywhere if they get a hold of my keys.

instead of banning the commercial, they should have put at the bottom of the screen "Keep out of reach of children"

this commercial deserved to be aired more than it had

[bunkie2100]

I loved this commercial when it came out. It's easily the best car commercial ever. Killer song selection and it gets right to what a Corvette is about. A few weeks back, my sister let me drive her '05 C6 Red Corvette. I felt just like the kid in the ad. Now I want one.

[oogiemaster]

We all know it's not real! The kids weren't really driving the car, so what? It is a damn good commercial. If it was banned because a reason such as 6irondriver described, then we should banned all the action movies specially those with killings . Have you heard of "PARENTAL GUIDANCE"? Good on you 01po01po!!

[6irondriver]

I think u mis-guided my comment. I'm in favor of the commercial- get ur panties out of ur azz. You must drive a VW or SUV. Whatever the case, chill.

[oogiemaster]

I apologize 4 misunderstanding. I merely suggesting to the ppl who would have a problem with the kids driving and 4 those who has nothing to do with their lives but to sue other ppl and not directly to u. What you posted I agree with. I drive a Vette and I do own a VW. I wish we can slow down on name callings, though.

[413x64rc14]

totally true

[FRANKIESHANOWSKIY2K0]

yes theres a problem wit that statement

the age of the boy and girl featured in that adert must be around 10 to 12 years old

and in the us kids at that age are takend up drivers education but in the uk it is from

16 to 19 for kides to take driving lessons.

plus half of the advert was filmed at a studio innfront of agreen screen and for wide shoots trained stunt drivers as kids doubles.

[01po01po]

great commercial. another example of political correctness..bullshit. they should be able to show that. It should be the parents fault for leaving their keys were the kids could get in and drive the car. not because of the commercial!!!!  its a shame they had to ban that becuase they might get sued....common people what the hell.....

[6irondriver]

Good call Colliin. GM figured they'd be sued if some kid saw it and crashed Daddy's Vette I'm sure. Great 'Vette footage tho, they should air that without the kids. Have some ugly dude driving it and a model winks at him, that'd be about right. I can say that 'cause I drive a red 'vette, lol.

[C0LL1N]

who in gods name decided to ban this?! theres nothing wrong with that commercial at all, especially while we now have a commercial showing a pregnancy test being pissed on in slow motion, and everyone talking about their diseases and genital herpes.

[95Riv]

they probably banned this ad because it promotes underage driving

[supreme21]

Best damn commercial ever made. End of story.

[coonalishus]

awsome ad

[booker357mag]

If your child would steal your keys.. and start up a vette and attempt to take it for a drive.. then they should get the belt. Problem solved.. now air the ad!

[ArchamRH]

I just LUV this Ad, why BAN it? I see NO reason to Ban this TV during S/B! :( It's been my Dream to own one of these since I WAS that age!Kids and grown-ups alike have a Luv Affair with Vette's since I can remember! The C6 is the Best Bang for the Buck of ALL super cars, @ less the $100,000! You can by 2 of these for what a Ferrari, Aston M., Lambo or other exotic off the assembly line! Had mine up to 150mph in 5th gear, with Redline of 6500RPM, I was only @ 4900rpm, with 6th gear to go! :)

[Homerdoh31]

AHAHAA AMAZING AD!

[royviscourt]

Don't waste oil and the energy, please everybody!

[ArchamRH]

Where is the waste? I get up to 30 mpg on a trip and 22 - 24 mpg around town! That's AWESOME with just over 400HP on tap anytime I want or need it! :) Great Car! One Vette Mag did a test on fuel mileage, topping off from Gas Can, just getting on Freeway, they averaged 33.6 MPG! They did have it up to 36.6 until they hit a storm with severe head winds, that dropped it to 33.6 mpg! Awesome in every way you look at it! Case in point, NO GAS GUZZLER TAX! :) ZO6, 505HP, NO Guzzler TAX either 20 mpg!

[Plur307]

The best I have ever seen with my 1.6 L honda civic is 36 mpg. I think it is awesome that an engine with several times the power and displacement can nearly equal that mileage. I'd have a vette if I could afford one :)

[0utOfcheEEEz]

i love this commercial, maybe cause I'm an immature guy who loves cars and donuts... but whatever!

[xTIMBERxWOLFx]

ok.. it makes old people feel younger... are people that stupid lol

[corizzle469]

my dad and his stunt man cort hessler did this comercial i was there when they shot the film it was the shit

[88FanNASCAR]

Does anyone here care?

[FowlPrey12]

I do.  And for the record, NASCAR sucks.

[88FanNASCAR]

No, I meant about that kid at the commercial shoot. The commercial and the Corvette are awesome.

[FowlPrey12]

Oh, I know. I thought it was interesting.

[sv6civic]

GM should told everyone to stick it

[cardude427]

Why would they freaking ban this, its not the commercial it's the moron's who think that it nudges at the idea it's cool to steal your parents car, it wouldnt be a risk if parents these days werent dumb as a bag of hammers.

[iroc816901aolcom]

G.M. pulled this commercial due mainly cause the people of M.A.D.D. (mothers against drunk driving) wrote hate mail to G.M. and the media saying it influences children to take their parents cars and drive wreckless. I personaly loved this ad, and was angered when G.M. pulled it, but i understand its all politics. Thanks a million for uploading this rare ad.

[Joewho72]

what was the reason this commerical was banned? We got the Go daddy Commericials Not like there was anything wrong with em. This was 1 of the best commercials ever!! You see worse on Movie TV Trailers!!!

[cashin1243]

This commercial was so freaking amazing, political correctness run amok...once again. There was no reason to ban it, because I did the same damn thing when I was his age (you know...dream)

[snowcatns]

Wow, No wonder we banned this commercial! The mere thought of letting our children dream about owing a corvette in the future might cause chaos in the streets. Let our children work towards a dream? My god, when will this political correctness end!

[MrMudip666]

yup

[mustangified]

they banned the commercial because they, themselves, couldn't own the car, and the thought of a young kid driving the car angered them.

*by them (they) , I mean the people who complain about everything.

its all good though, I have myself a vette. Reason being, I love the car, and it angers the "thems".

[onbinryu]

well they mustve banned it because kids might get thee idea to drive of course im suere they wouldnt they probably just wanted to be safe

[dirk0389]

I saw this on TV just once. Thought it was pretty awesome.

[ejicon]

I love how they've banned a simple commercial like this yet they play Britney Spear's videos it's the end of the world. Bah!

[charmslc]

I think its it cutest commercial ever

[armaan43]

Hows that banned -.-

[e92playa]

Agreed, hands down the best car commercial I have ever seen. How can you watch this commmercial and not want the Corvette you have always dreamed of? I can't wait to one day buy the Corvette I dreamed of as a kid, a red 1990 C4 Corvette ZR-1. Long live the ultimate American sports car!

[beharv]

The BEST television ad for a car EVER. (Period-end of sentence)

[mdb25]

AGREED!

[Cbbyosoy]

that's right!

[mad3nch1na]

I actually saw this commercial either on TV or at a movie preview...

[fordzruleanduknowit]

The commercial actually says "This is a dream. Do not drive without a license. Obey traffic laws." Toyota probably got jealous of American cars again and ruined a good thing. Maybe the next Prius or Yaris will get a TRD or "terd" v8. They already have terd four bangers and no sense of style. Toyota's vehicles are designed by Peewee Herman after fart bubbles!

[DanMon192003]

Actually, you shouldn't bash on Toyota, they've had numerous deals with Chevrolet as well as GM throughout history. To mention a few, Corolla=Nova, Toyota Cavalier, Vibe=Matrix, etc. BTW if Fordzrule is your screen name, why would you post on this Chevy commercial...how old are you...uh, nevermind, NO REPLY NECESSARY.

[Hiei2k7]

heh. To Fordzrule: Jealous Much?

GM at one time held controlling interest in all of your big Japanese companies. Hell, if you take a Toyota Truck and rebadge it Chevy, It's about the SAME DAMN THING...Other ideas that have been traded include Suzuki, Honda, Nissan, and even Kia. Daewoo is owned by GM.

[FenwickHockey65]

Last time I checked, the Silverado's tailgate didn't crack when you tried loading an ATV on it. Not the same damn thing at all.

[darkblaze176]

uh are you stupid honda was and still is 100% owned by HONDA!!!they may have deals with gm but in no way are they part owned by them. Nissan is part owned by renault.

[FenwickHockey65]

Not necessarily. I don't know the exact details, but every automaker owns parts of every other automaker. That's why you had honda engines in the last-gen Saturn Vue and GM brake pads in toyotas and stuff. GM used to own a very sizable portion of toyota, I think 40% or something.

[penfold1987]

this commercial was on the air. I saw it. When did they take it off?

[Dan34542]

i think later in the year.

[frb01]

Someday the green celebrity crowd will kill cars like the Vette, while they travel everywhere in their private jets. This car is a legend and in spite of its inherent flaws has become the best sports car in the world at any price, when you figure cost, gas mileage, livability, and the fact outside of the snow belt it could be someone's daily driver..Long live America's only true sports car for 55 years.

[frb01]

This is politically correct gone amok. The history of the Corvette was to dream it, it had the same body style from 1968-82 and 84-96. It is an American legend and a whole bunch of us grew up dreaming about Vettes, Camaros, Firebirds and Mustangs, before the age of the SUV, and the question was asked how big of a radio does a car have.

[cobralover88]

yeah even with all the disclaimers and shit some dumb ass is gonna take his dads car and crash it and the dads gonna sue. they shouldve put ths on the air. to see what kinda dumbass im talking bout look up

"son crahses gt500"

[XxnoitcelferxX]

This was banned cause of ignorant kids lol! I remember the stink people made over this, it shouldn't have been banned cause no matter what someone will always bitch about whatever your doing these days. Someone will probably bitch about me comment even :p

[c2fever]

A great commercial for a super car, great dreams for the younger generation!!

[minivan442]

Awesome car and good song!

[thamerKSA]

nice add simple and fun to the point

[stingray57c]

Best auto ad to date.

[FORDGTFANATIC]

whats that song called?

[racerboyroy]

jumping jack flash by the rolling stones

[wayafterthispinished]

that was awesome i dont get why they would ban this

[racerboyroy]

they banned it because the critics thought it was politiclly incorrect for a ten year old to be doing stunts in a car

what a bunch of twits - its a day dream!

[wayafterthispinished]

yea i know

[skipdippity]

@racerboyroy not too mention he was dreaming...!

[asimpson1]

This commerical should not have been banned.

[amo00talpa]

sweeeeeeeeeeet

[oreorem]

My mom and I love this commercial and only saw it once during the Olympics...

[Venk007]

i know same here

[ProThruth506]

what are you doing wathching commercials with your mom, looser.
