  • Okay you dont understand how much I want to cry... I litterally saw this the first time it was shown for the super bowl and I still talk about it as my most favoirte superbowl commercial ever!

  • i love gm all the way

  • Ironic, because GM laid off a bunch of people after this ad was aired.

  • oh, by the way, you'll all be jobless soon because of robotics! AND we're going to continue rubbing it in your face! MUHAHAHA.

  • Robots don't put people out of work, crappy cars do. GM is a joke. Every car they make falls apart in two seconds. One GM my family had, an Oldsmobile, had a window that shattered every time you went to roll it down. GM refused to fix the part. They should be paying their bailout back by selling their blood and organs for being such a crappy company.

  • Wow, this is so realistic. You just know that the robots are the ones that are going to be layed off, and not the humans, because the robots are just so much more efficient at their tasks.

  • FUCK JAP and Korean

    toyota dont know how to make a car without it going outta control or it being safe.

    All you people are crying that the economy is bad

    You want to know why. Not only the old presidents Bush and Regan even though a lot of it is but even more is because of YOU. Buy American the companies will make some damn money the banks will make money then more jobs are open in America. Dont be stupid buy American.

  • @lpncubs3 why buy american?that's stupid!

    Buy what you need and not what you shall

  • Buy Japanese. Americans are arrogant idiots who can't do anything right.

  • @lpncubs3

    You need to watch the movie by Michael Moore called Capitalism - a love story. It will open your eyes to what is really going on. It's not as simple as Buy American and everything will be okay.

  • This video is hilarous! unfortunatly it came at a time when a ton of people were getting laid off. This comercial is a testiment to how messed up that company was. How did they think this commercial would sell cars. I feel bad for the thousands that have lost there jobs, but common a robot that kills himself is the funniest shit ever.

  • We r robots

  • I thought this commercial was hilarious. People need to get a sense of humor (it was just day dreaming). The robot was being a perfectionist. I didn't find this offensive. You know what I find disgusting those AshleyMadison commercials on the superbowl where my children can ask questions on why mommy or daddy would want to cheat on eachother. Get a grip MSNBC or were they not watching the commercials.

  • GM Government Motors

  • GM is done. How ironic this video is now.

  • hahaha too true

  • haha!

  • I love this video

  • nazi

  • yeah you are right, american cars are soooo much better. hahaha

    keep dreaming whitey.

  • this video was good

    funny video lets chat u4

  • sdfsdfdsf

  • Good video

  • I want one......That moves by itself.

  • awesome video; good sound track too.

  • It's not funny if you knew some of the workers that comited suicide when GM laid them off. There were dozens in Flint alone.

  • i actually like this commercial.. poster of this video is completely utterly insane... its meant to say EVERYONE even the ROBOTs are worried.

  • i miss u!!! msg me on msn. my id is on my profile! thanks! bye xoxo L

  • HAHA BEST VIDEO EVER!!!

  • would everyone stop being so god damn sensitive? jeebus, get the sand out of your vaginas, people and get a sense of humour!

  • no that would Italian cars

  • people seriously seriously SERIOUSLY need to lighten up.

    everyone is all like OMG U HERT MAH FEELINZ HOW RUDE OF U WAA I AM GUNA GO CRI AND DEN SUE U 4 EMOSHUNAL TRAMA WAA.

    i thought the commercial was funny. XD

    i like to say they took this off the tv cause it offended robots everywhere. all the robots were like, 'i do say, this is quite appaulling! i object to this horrible depiction!'

    :P

  • Poor robot nice cars

  • i know

  • Are people worried that the commercial will inspire real robots to commit suicide? They must think that Roboraptors will overdose on sleeping pills and AIBOs will hang themselves by their leashes.

  • u nvr know

  • This commercial had to be yanked after its first appearance during the Super bowl because it was thought to be offensive because it depicted suicide. I didn't even think of it that way until it was brought up in the media. Are we seriously going to get mad at robots for making things more cost and material efficient? Really?

  • The person who posted this is an idiot. The spot is about GM's 100,000 warranty and how "everyone at GM is taking it seriously" It as nothing to do with Robots replacing people - the robot is a puppet and is taking his job "very very seriously"

  • i lost my gm job on the line and i'm not offended. i RELATE to that robot lol. come on, that robot can only put in a screw. line workers do way more than put in one screw. um since when do people not work on assembly lines?? have you no concept of what goes into making a vehicle? besides, all the maintenance, breakdowns and upgrading machines sometimes makes machines/robots more expensive and unreliable than people

  • it was very funny, come on.. don't be so sensitive, it's just a joke

  • disabling* i mean

  • Poor robot. Shoulda shown him take up a job for the SWAT team dissabing bombs.

  • The commercial was a joke.

    It had nothing to do with hiring robots over people.

    It was pulled off the air since suicide interest groups found it offenseive.

    My response?

    Lighten up.

    Its a fake robot for Christ's sake.

    Learn to have a sense of humor

  • THAT IS SO SAD!

    the robot is so cute!

  • wow - and whoever posted this video is an idiot - that commercial had nothing to do with 'GM hiring robots instead of people'. Anyways, are you actually so delusional that you think that car companies don't use robots (well - not in the sense the commercial suggest, but still). Think about all that goes into making a car - people couldn't even do most of that without machines.

  • yeah and if people started working assembly lines again, car prices would more than double, and that would be just fantastic for our already hurting economy wouldnt it? people cant afford gas but now it doesnt matter because we cant afford cars either...shut up

  • i cant believe this commercial was controversial, damn, people are so fucking sensitive, and fuckin stupid

  • dumbbos it cost them a ton for this stupid commercial, its the robot commiting suicide, i no its a robot but this kind of choice is so stupid ffs, gm lost like millinos cause of dis.

  • but people who dont work at gm anymore could now be hired to build and develop those robots jackass...

  • Poor little wobot =(

  • Dumb commercial, superbowl ads are way over rated.

  • I think they were just going for the emotional appeal, actually... there are people working along side the robots, if you didn't notice!

    This was by far my favorite superbowl commercial ever!

  • I mean cool

  • coll robot he even got dreams cool :D 5stars

  • IT WAS SO SAD!! ;-;

  • But . . . it's a robot . . .

  • Clearly it was a robot with feelings. Are you to say that things with emotions and intelligence don't deserve respect? That as long as they're inhuman, you can treat them inhumanely? Are you saying if we ever met with a race of aliens, it would be okay to enslave them, because their feelings don't matter?!? Your ignorance is appalling! I say Good day!

  • LOL, I agree - clearly it was a robot with feelings, and believe it or not - I think the fact that there was a robot with feelings proves the commercial is a JOKE.

  • i agree totally!

  • a bunch of lies but i want to give the robot a hug anyways <3

  • im gonna cry

  • I wanna cry.

  • Thats some funny shit right there.

  • IS this the edited one or not?

  • No, this is the original.

  • sveet. Where can I found the edited one. Need comparison.

  • love it!

  • This was by far my favorite Super Bowl spot!

  • whoever created this commercial is genius

  • 1. i'm not even going to respond to that piece of male ego.

    2. gm cars are really good. their recent car, when reviewed only had 1 tiny detail that was wrong.

    3. yes, toyota does suck

  • This commercial makes my eyes water EACH time that I see it! It should be celebrated for the AMAZING cinematography. What about that?

  • I agree

  • toyota blows! american all the way!

  • Yeah!!

  • 1) people who get offended by this have vaginas. 2) gm doesn't make the worst or most unreliable cars in the world you shit faces. 3) toyota sucks.

  • Robots just create jobs for people.

  • I love this commercial.....does anyone know how I can get it loaded onto my Zune?

  • I'm pretty sure GM didn't want to go as far as that... It's a funny message in which the robot is so 'concerned' about quality (of course it's not, it's a stupid robot, we design and manufacture those), that he doesn't want to get fired. Personally, I think any discussion over either firing people for robots or firing a robot (which is just plain stupid) is out of place. BUT that's just the way I see it, you can send an E-mail to the commercial creator

  • im not gunna lie, the first time i saw this a nearly cried...yea, stop laughing! Its depressing! Poor Robot, thank god it was a dream lol

  • A) It's a commercial. B) It's a ROBOT. C) It's a DREAM!! D) It looks amazing when seen outside of YouTube's crappy rez. The robot was built and performed by Stan Winston studios, the guys who brought you the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park.  Pure genious.

  • the robot jumped off the bridge nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

  • I say this is because these touchy subjects are everywhere and theres no way to get rid of it, so sit back enjoy laughting once and awhile and pull the "stuck-up" stick out of your asses. PERIOD END OF CONVOS...:) have a nice day though

  • / i laugh everytime! and if you say im heartless or something lame like that ur completly wrong, i just have a sense of humor and a tolerance for things. THers just too many people out there being babies about every slightly touchy subject and you need to get over yourselves.

  • holy shiti, if ur seriously saying that it has to do w/ human emotion thatn ur just as big of fucking attention grabbing fucktard. its a robot he jumped off of a bridge committing suiside cuz he was dreaming he wasnt as efficient as the rest of the workers....thats fucking hilarious!!!

  • this is, in my opinion, one of the most depressing commercials i've ever seen aired on TV. i nearly cry every time i see it.

    ...don't laugh at me.

  • Poor Robot's. As if producing the worst cars in the world wasn't enough, they have been brainwashed to be obsessed with their... eh... "quality".

    Go to Honda. Asimo was once like you, Robot. You can change!

  • This is the worst commercial I have ever seen, GM is thoughtless to families that have had a suicide as a result of jobs, INCLUDING their layoffs!!!

  • Its a robot.Who cares?

  • It is not the fact that it is a robot, it is immitating human emotion, imagine if that was you dad, or your self when you grow up.

  • You are a twisted and extremely stupid fuck.

  • You people are either stupid or love to engage in a discussion over anything and everything...Who cares what the robot means.... and the guy that says that "GM is thoughtless to families that have had a suicide as a result of jobs" DAMN you sure go to extremes!!!! LIVE AND LET LIVE PEOPLE!!!!!! Liove your lives and let others live theirs alone!!!!!!! JEEZ!!!!

  • I guess Im just not that ignorant. By the way you are doing the same thing I did.

  • This commercial is saying the robot's are becoming obsolete because of the 100,000 mile warranty and the cars won't be around as much, so the bot was fired.the rest, you decide.

  • This is the best commerical EVER made! I love it!

  • The really funny part is that GM and quality have been put in the same sentence! At the end of the day American cars are amongst the worst built in the world, and that is a major factor of why Ford, GM, and Chrysler are going down the tubes, because people now want products worthy of their hard earned cash.

  • Shut up no one cares about ur opinion

  • go fuck yourself cockface, unlike your Stalinist regime of a cuntry, I'm allowed to voice my own opinions. As for the 4 wheeled monstrosities you call cars, truth hurts huh??

  • How come i dont quite understand this commercial..

  • because it's mental. First off, robots replaced workers... and some of them actually did commit suicide... secondly, GM is not exactly a quality car company. 3rd: the robot's dream had nothing to do with quality. I'll say it again: mental.

  • Ford and GM is better than Chrysler. I also feel sorry for the robot to, but I wish people would quit making robot or we'll get ourselves killed by them for domination.

  • that robot is soooooooooo cute

  • i just really hope tony dungy family wasn't watching this commercial while watching the superbowl. i thought it was a nice commercial till i thought about that. the thing is no one is going to jump off the bridge just because something else did it. it's not being sensitive to the fact that families who are watching this probably lost someone from suicide. could you not write to GM if your family commited suicide in the past.

  • this is a funny commercial purely made for fun and to make people laugh you people that piss and moan and bitch about it are annoying

  • Is it not the real problem thet you Americans DO NOT HAVE ENY PRIDE NO MORE???

    Wha is GM and Ford firing employs???

    Becose YOU are baying more and more Toyota,and Honda...

    And Now Toyota is in NASCAR???

    IF your US peoples have eny pride left...

    Be the contry we in the Europa dreamd off.

    BY AMERICAN

    Norway

  • Fuck you dude. For real. Domestic cars lick balls anyway. And for someone who's so concerned with people not supporting America...you sure as hell can't speak english that well.

  • He's from Norway, dumbshit.

  • Quit being a bitchy lib sskapica this was one of the funniest comercials.

  • So you're saying that laying off a robot is equal to laying off a real human being? Interesting...

    And to the implication that I am a "moron" (a "moron" who knows how to properly punctuate, mind you): I'm sure those 10,000 laid off workers were really happy to be sacrificed for the good of the company. I wonder how they are doing now?

    Even if I concede your point, does it give GM the right to mock its sacrifices?

  • Good for them. Looking for new jobs, because they were overpaid to begin with.

  • Worlds Best- Lansing Cadillac Grand River Assembly...

  • GM laid off workers to restructure their industry. it was either lay of 10,00 workers or fold the company and lay off 210,000 you moron...

  • No, I certainly will not give this a break! GM laid off how many workers as a result of both efficiency management (replacing workers with robots) and outsourcing? And now they're banking on this little guy-- a parody of their own corporate irresponsibility-- to sell more cars?! This isn't just some silly commercial. It's a slap in the face. And if you don't see that, then you're buying into the corporate mentality that so easily conspires to keep millions of Americans unemployed...

  • so your saying the people are fired and being replaced with robots? well how about this..if you even WATCHED the commercial, robots get fired too!

  • Soo sad!!!

  • This is the best commercial ever! I even felt sorry for that robot! ;)

  • I just saw the oscars and they changed the ending of this commercial (the suicide thing I guess didn't fly to well-no pun intended)

  • Anti-suicide group complained... supposedly.

  • It's... so sad **single tear falls down my face**

  • True. Its a little bit better - but this is one of the best commercials I've seen that actually makes you feel for a robot. Great commercial.

    I'm assuming all the people that didn't like jumping off the bridge scene never see rated R films (since that has more violence than a commercial). I guess I only look at it as a fictional commercial and I don't read that much into it. Maybe I should.

  • does anyone know the name of this song

  • General Motors made the right thing on modifying the "bridge" shot and instead, replacing that shot with the scrapyard shot. I'm quite glad that GM did the right thing.

  • funny!! and meaningfully...

  • Has anyone seen the new re-done ad? It was broadcast on Fox during American Idol Tuesday night. I'm surprised no one has posted it yet! They did a great job with the remake-BRAVO!

  • Its on my page. check it out!

  • I love this commercial, but I seriously almost cried when I first saw it!

  • the only thing that makes it tasteless i the layoffs...other than that, whoever shot and cut that spot is kind of Effe'n brilliant.

    What a creepy/awesome commercial.

  • kill all humans

  • Zag, you looked over the people that are in the commercial working at GM. Their jobs are a whole lot easier because of the robots. I guess we could go back to the old days when cars took weeks to build, making them cost tens of thousands more. Plus all the lost extremities the tools used back then caused.

  • PYLrulz, you're forgetting the part where the economy is actually pretty kick-ass again and unemployment rates are dropping. The reason that the economy fell wasn't because of Bush, it's because the stock brokers dump the market any time someone sneezes.

    Stop trying to find every commercial offensive and just laugh. It's a lot healthier for you.

  • Considering whats been going on at GM with the layoffs, the commerical is quite Bush League.

  • The piont of the movie is that the robot has gone to kill himself Gm lost all of its money and that robot is your penis

  • That commercial made me feel bad for the robot

  • GM has lost so much money, it ought to be the CEO Rick Waggoner who swings the sign and jumps off the bridge, and he can drag his buddy Bob Lutz with him. This AD is typical of how GM management places the blame for their failures on the white & blue collar workers. I used to work there... I know about GM and their emphasis on "quality"... all they care about is squeaking by. Take the advise of a retired GM engineer... buy Toyota or Honda! Much better and safer cars for the money.

  • get over it... it was funny and I enjoyed it

  • I happen to know, from say, work experience, that this add was pulled because GM received so many angry calls and threats of lawsuit.

  • yeah but are you a yellow robot who got depressed because you didnt put a screw in? comedy is the line between realism and the absurd. its funny because it mocks how ABSURD it is for a robot to have this kind of nightmare.

  • yeah but are you a yellow robot who got depressed because you didnt put a screw in? comedy is the line between realism and the absurd. its funny because it mocks how ABSURD it is for a robot to have this kind of nightmare.

  • Man. People are offended over a ROBOT having a nightmare that it's committing suicide. Three words, WHAT THE CRAP?

    It's a robot! And don't feed me that "you don't know what it's like". Yes I've felt depressed and suicidal before. And I'm not at all offended by this ad. Robots are not humans. Robots are actually dumb as a rock. A robot can only do what it is programmed to do.

    Dang this is dumb.

  • There's too much money invested in commercials, especially the ones aired during the Super Bowl, for them to ever be "just commercials" and "without meaning." This particular ad has been discussed a lot because people wonder if it was intentionally made to get people's attention by being controversial--a method of cutting through the massive ad clutter during the Super Bowl. It's obviously worked.

  • i agree w/ hawkeyefan83, its a commercial, its funny, it doesnt hav a meaning just laugh at it

  • ok everybody that takes that commercial so damn seriously you all should do what that robot did....hillarious commercial, shut the hell up, all of you, remember its just a fucking commercial

  • I think this ad is totally insensitive. Have they ever considered the feelings of ppl who have relatives/friends who suicided? It will bring back the overwhelming feeling of sadness and pain that they have tried so hard and long to bury each time they see it.

  • yeah but are you a yellow robot who got depressed because you didnt put a screw in? comedy is the line between realism and the absurd. its funny because it mocks how ABSURD it is for a robot to have this kind of nightmare.

  • What about a Friend or family member who was murdered? Should all TV and Movies and Video game sbe censored because it may bring back painful memories? Stop being a Nazi by supporting censorship, thsi commercial should have aired.

  • It DID air. However, it isn't anymore. but it was on the superbowl.

  • Ok, so it wasnt banned, or did GM sucumb to censorship by modifying it?

  • they modified it. instead of killing himself in the end, he drives by a junkyard, sees something getting scrapped, and gets scared. it's really lame.

  • great ad

  • If people want to off themselves who are we to interfere?

  • Hey, it was just a robo dream (nightare?)

  • What kind of message is this from GM? Please all of you workers who lost your jobs, it's:

    1. your fault

    2. you should kill yourselves

    When I saw this on the Superbowl I thought oh great, GM is trying to subtly hint that their ex-workers should kill themselves, they probably want to save money on benefits, pensions!

    What bastards, good news is now Toyota is more American than GM is.

  • IT'S A ROBOT! Not a person you idiot...  (go take your pills)

  • That was crap. Was sort of wrong but hell have a convo with my mates and we say more controversial stuff every sentence. Still that was kinda wrong, was not that funny really.

  • Kind of stupid actually. Not funny, not sad, just stupid....And people need to relax with all the fuss. All this politically correctness B.S is going way too far. What ever happened to freedom?

  • I think people are making too much of a fuss over this video. There are people starving in Sudan, getting their hands cut off in Sierra Leone, kidnapped and forced into marriages in Inda & China, and prostituted in the Philippines... and you're upset because a robot in a commercial made you remember something sad. And, yes, my cousin killed himself with a shotgun when he was 13.

  • Thank you. It's just a commercial.

  • I bet these idiots cried when that robot in Short Circuit pretended to die as well.

  • -posted to soon before!- All of you, stop whining...those that get all upset over the ROBOT committing 'suicide' obviously don't get it at all. Lighten up kids, worry about something else.

  • All of you, stop whining...those that get all upset over the ROBOT

  • Until you or a friend attempts suicide you will NEVER EVER understand...but...YOU'RE time WILL come - good luck.

  • Brother shot himself in the head. Friend hung himself. yeah, I know how it feels when someone makes an INDIVIDUALS CHOICE. Albeit a bad one. but to demand censure of even the concept is like those idiots who insist on painting clothes on naked women in old classic works of art. so..perhaps it was a little morbid to say that the people should hang themselves..so how about this..take a rope, put it around their necks, and have someone jerk them back into reality..STOP YOUR SNIVILING!

  • Not bad, quite different from other car commercials...I like it.

  • agree with Jason and Dacian... people in this country are so f--king sensitive. It's pathetic where this country is going. This one b--ch I read in an article blamed this commercial for her brothers suicide... BACK IN 1993!!!! This country is going to hell, no wait, we're already there.

  • People who think this commercial will promote the concept of suicide should hang themselves.

  • That's rude to say. I hope that never happens to someone u know..then maybe you would see the light..

  • I'm already hung

  • What the hell is happening to free speech these days? Stop being so damn sensitive, bitches!

  • It was an awesome commercial!! Although kind of misleading, considering robots are not living things and can't kill themselves.
