Jeremy Davies (Subaru Commercial)

[uhohitsbrendan]

Subaru is the Good Charlotte of Punk Rock.

[JoaqoDestefano]

hello pitchfork

[smeltedcheese]

Also, lol @ the baggy 90s gear

[smeltedcheese]

The can you dig it hands, that's his schtick

[rebreh1029]

Exploitation at its worse

[bowser782]

where's Private Ryan?

[Shack11]

Time travel really messes a guy up, huh.

[theeducatedfool]

Analogy failure: Most of the early punk bands were just as obsessed with marketing and image as the corporate tools they claimed to hate. So yeah, this commercial makes no sense and Sid Vicious was a talentless hack...

[thezenarcadian]

@theeducatedfool THANK YOU. Punk rock, with the exception of the Ramones, was exactly that til 80s hardcore.

[surfingthechaos]

@theeducatedfool Then you come full circle and realize that you are watching a commercial, which is nothing but marketing and image and the analogy starts to make sense again.

[BLUEtrafficLIGHT]

What movie did Jeremy Davies play in were there all held hostage in a differnt country and they try to escape please....\m/

[sebtred]

@BLUEtrafficLIGHT

Could be Rescue Dawn

[CoolGuy62093]

BOURBON NOW!

[Axmovieman]

He never changed!

[rngwrm]

i never noticed it at the time, but that's a pretty good denis leary impression.

[AWDfreak]

Subaru messed up on this because they seemed to have forgotten to elaborate on how very few car companies have available AWD nor a boxer engine. If Subaru was trying to yell out "unique", they should've elaborated on the mechanicals rather than just the exterior.

[masterchieftan827]

You know, I swear he looked just like julian smith when he played pvt. upham in "Saving Private Ryan"

[TeenAuthor]

I was previously unaware that pre-punk rock rock and roll was "boring and corporate". Having listened to some I was under the impression it was alright to listen to - but now... this advertisment has questioned my independent thought. SUCK IT ELVIS and Jerry Lee Lewis, you represent THE MAN... uh... by MODERN STANDARDS... maybe... I heard Elvis's crotch was edgy and not corporate but I am unsure.

[bartmatton]

he said make things better and moving forward now i know where toyota gets the slogans from

[skank89]

GEARPANXMOBILE

[JoyGrenade]

"Oh, I just thought of another analogy!"

"Nope. Not interested. Punk rock will connect sufficiently with our youth market. Fade out."

[eruption257]

This car that looks just like every other car is going to REVOLUTIONIZE CARS

[esperantomusica]

never thought i would see this clip.thanx! by the way,hmmm was this guy 17 here? he looks like it

[sameiru]

The hand language is a mirror image of him as Faraday hahaa!

[drummergabe]

tru punx drive japanese cars!

[EyeCandyRecordings]

He's gonna use the car to try and get lucky with his mom. THATS RIGHT, instead of making a LOST joke, I took the high road and made a SPANKING THE MONKEY joke!

[Maelstrom86UK]

Can I please kick his ass now?

[CptnChan]

"This car, is my constant."

[knilb281]

Up the punx and/or MPGs

[raidonthestadiar]

@knilb281 I lolled so hard. Well done, sir/madam

[knilb281]

@raidonthestadiar You're welcome, individual.

[kymusabi]

FUCK, I GOTTA GET THIS CAR. I'M LOSIN MA PUNX REPUTATION!

[xTheOxx]

Wow, that is depressing.

[TheZaius]

Whatever you say, Faraday. You're the scientist.

[MusicIsALifeTime]

shit your cute!

[BlackCat815]

HOLY FRAKMUFFINS

[Grandhoohah]

This car is like.....punk rock? Does that mean it's unreliable, shiftless, and bound to break up within six months? Nice marketing ploy! :-/

[Meimi132]

Well thats just friggin' adorable XD

[RaquelTWG]

Right at the end, when he says he thought of another analogy and he does that little move before he talks...it was like dejavu. SO FARADAY (:

[moremoxi]

I love all these comments. They're very inspired. I remember this commercial, to. I had no idea this was him, but, from the first time I saw him in a film, I knew that I remembered him from somewhere...go Jeremy! Thanks for this post...

[lostdesmondDOTcom]

DAN!!! LOL He acts the same, just looks way younger. Love.It.

[swancl]

Is this for real...

[PatchCornAdams721]

Forget everything you know about cars. You don't CHOSE your car, the ISLAND choses your car. You can try to change it but it won't work; thats just what happens.

[voidnothing]

His mannerisms in this commercial are exactly the same as they are on Lost.

[Icantdance11]

i love faraday anything he says will affect my destiny-i must now buy this carrrr

[Remington61189]

how old was he? 17?

[st00pidness]

no skinny tie? no thanks.

[roystonlodge]

I wish the Golden Pontiac was in this commercial.

[Traitorfish]

Ohferchristsake.

[KosmoKramer911]

no wonder his mom shot him

[metabog]

Hahahhahaha. This is epic, he might as well be explaining time travel.

[maveholic]

Daniel Farraday really needed the money back then

[xdudeyourcool]

i rember him from twister

[segould]

I love how he gets cut off at the end.

[manulito2]

he should make a lot more movies. i think, he could become the new christopher walken. he has the same, quirky but loveable kind of creepieness.

[heather23renae]

He moves and talks so much like Daniel Faraday... :D

[frobie54]

CORPORATE TOOL!

lol

[xXAngelicEvilXx]

cdiazpino -- I think you've been on the computer way too long. Time to go outside and breathe some real air. Off you go!

[Bodici22]

He reminds me of the shamWOW guy.

[Diabolicals]

I melted. Marry me.

[octopusmime]

geez commercials have changed

[LAMERFENER]

i see this guy is a great selection for a genius phsyshst role.

[cdiazpino]

Meh, I'm not gonna argue on the internet. Suffice to say the commercial is making a particularly horrible and transparent attempt to co-opt popular culture, and this guy chose to be partisan to it.

[ShadowEl]

You're not going to argue because you're wrong.

He's a whore because he appeared in a Subaru commercial in 1992 as a no-name actor?

[Jamie867530nine]

@cdiazpino

That it may be, altoough it still gave Jeremy a chance to demonstrate his acting skills, leading to film roles and such.

[cdiazpino]

Oh wow. This guy is such a whore.

[buzzardbeatniks]

@cdiazpino - yeah, it's called a working actor.

[camelotgeorge33]

@cdiazpino dude he probly got paid around 50k to do this, and he was a no name at the time.

[BulgarianModMaker]

You are so wrong! He is one of the most unique and best actors ever!

[NoMereRanger303]

Hahaha. Sounds just like Faraday.

[VaGirando]

las mismas expresiones

[LDMythos]

Oh God, he has changed little over the years.

[crazywhales]

@LDMythos

Just with extra facial hair. lol

[LDMythos]

True, true. And a little change in voice, hehe, but it's clearly the same guy.

[chadgeri]

I love him as an actor, but man he always plays the same basic role! :D

[ccRHCP1]

FARADAY!

[JorealConners]

"This car is like punk rock, because when you think punk rock, you think selling out for Subaru."

[mcm2k6]

I love Jeremy and I love Faraday too!!!

Awesome!!!

[Juliabeach]

I LOVE him <3<3<3

[neilam6]

hes just so faraday

[KraZyRuskieFilms]

i love Jeremy Davies

[DILfknPICKLE]

AH-MAZING.

[gdog78749]

Marketing a new car to someone of a punk

sensibility is like marketing a rolex watch to a homeless man.

[technologywontsaveus]

Oh, this is sooooooooo grait, I wouldn't really think of Daniel Faraday making such a cool commerical! But that's my dawg!

[XYZandTime]

Remember when cars were all corporate and stuff? Well they still are!

[Moonis163]

:'DDD

bless.

[TheElleLyn]

Wow, how old was he? Adorable! But. This is so weird, corporate cannot attempt to appeal to punk. It just fails.

[Rhademanthus]

It's easier than you think!

[faeyin]

Is this guy seriously hawking a car on a corporate sponsored commercial and slamming corporate sponsored rock? The sound you just heard was my mind blowing !

[mcgmark]

lame commercial.

[paaaaaaaaaco]

joder, parece que esta explicando una teoria supermegadificil

[irenequeen93]

me encantan sus gestos, los hace exactamente igual k en Lost

[ImpudentInfidel]

Punk rock isn't corporate? Hmm, amazing how they manage the national marketing and distribution with no money isn't it? Or as I not supposed to think of that?

[rrrandommman]

oh shit yeh dude

[MolkoxLewd]

Subarus are not at all like punk rock and this commercial is captalizing on the punk movement and totally shitting on every 90s underground punk band, and also Nirvana.

[SeasonLost]

looks like he was lost then to daraday with a subru thought he would have some kind of time travel future car

[DONTBRINGDAVID]

he is hot as helllllllllll

[lunatyk95]

Daniel Faraday hahaha xD

lol

[spazzyspinoffs]

DANIEL FARADAY <3

[RoyWithOboy]

Hey, it's Daniel Faraday from LOST :D

[HezzHezzHezz]

I love Jeremy <3

[vikkiita]

jaja es tan tierno.. tiene gestos un poco espasticos, pero eso lo hace mas lindo todavia... :)

[iantolove]

This reminds me so much of Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Jeremy Davies is awesome.

[TheLoyale]

SUBARUs are awesome (I own one) But the people they used to pick for commercials, Why?

[iownu953]

lol he's the pussy guy in saving private ryan. the one dat wanted to save the german but killed him at the end

[mrfenderbenderman]

Does he like acdc?

does anyone know?

because i saw a guy right beside me at their concert 2 days ago

who was the splitting image of him!

[Juhsayngul]

Wow Subaru invented the character of Daniel Faraday.

[MartinPetren]

They should have a part of Jeremy's sallary ;)

[TheBigShotTMD]

wow i never seen this ad till i was told moments ago. I 1st saw him on Helter Skeltar film & then when he was on Lost it took me a week to put that he was in Helter Skeltar cos i had 1 of those "OH MY GOD IVE SEEN HIM SOMEWHERE BEFORE BUT IT HASNT COME TO ME YET" type moments. VERY Underated Actor thats for sure. 1 of my fav actors definately

[violetthebat666]

I want to see Helter Skelter, is it any good?

The first thing I saw him in was Lost and then Saving Private Ryan, he is a very good actor :D

[TheBigShotTMD]

Helter Skeltor is based on Vincent Bugliosi's 1972 book on the same name. (The Guy who prosecuted Manson). Jeremy is very VERY great in the film & i enjoyed it cos of his performance. The DVD extra of his casting tape is actually incredibly mind bloggling as well as he just talks & ad-libs like Manson would. Its actually 1 of my all time fav DVD extras for a DVD its THAT good!! Jeremy Davis for the score!!

[violetthebat666]

Cool thanks! I watched the beginning of it on youtube yesterday but haven't finished watching it yet, it seems very good. Do you know if it's on Region 2 DVD? I have looked but can't find anything about it so I don't think it is but I'm not sure :\

[TheBigShotTMD]

Na i dont know if it is. But like i just found it in a random store not like after i found it at my local video hiring place so there are heaps of copies lying bout out there u just gotta look. Not sure what my region is but it plays perfect on all DVD players i use it on & im Region 4.

[violetthebat666]

Thanks, I'll have a look around for it on the internet again :P

[olgaole]

Jeremy is so young here!!!!!

i want DANIEL FARADAY back!!!!!

[princessrache25]

aww he was like 23 when he did this

i luv him <3

[DriveMeBanannas]

i miss faraday so much

and jeremy davies is an amazing actor, hes too underated :(

[katarsysmalkav]

i'm in love with this guy D:

[strgreen]

I'm in love with the character!

[mattfox14]

ok? ok! love that bit

[KakkoiGranXiongmao]

He was making time travel experiments with that subaru.

[ShadowconLM14]

I'll drink to that!

[scottmorrison23]

Jeremy Davies Is Like A God...But He's So Under Rated. He Needs To Be In More Movies.

[SenshiMizaka]

Ah, so this was what Daniel Faraday did before becoming a physicist!

[Mchatmaster]

Think hes hand movements make him so special!!!he is awesome

[66775]

he does the same hand movements on lost!

[piratesmith]

Haha so true!

[LostEmilieFan]

i know dosen't he? he is sooo cute with his stubble!

[Kate9105]

ohhh yeah, hes definately one of the best actors on lost!

[Painfoot]

Haha he totally sounds like Faraday. And I love how this is from 1992. Ha, what a lovely car.

[mattrideout]

[guvbains]

[bauc251992]

Upham? :)

[Familygy3319]

I hate him in that movie... still an awesome movie tho

[COD4Spartan]

[TeejK]

this man plays the same person in everything... even commercials lol

[strgreen]

Now i know why Daniel lost his memory, probably trying to forget this comercial

[brainwashedmasses]

lmao!

[Tivo13]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[RodimusBen]

If it's endorsed by Daniel Faraday, it's good enough for me!

[Abebil]

holy cow! he was already in Daniel faraday's character since he was a teen! It's especially evident when he says : " This car, etc. etc." :D

[nmestrella94]

d'aww

[planethutch]

he did this off the island

[daisylenny]

lol

[calls4capslock]

so adorable! 8D

[hottykarate2000]

Wouldn't Daniel Faraday be endorsing a Delorean instead of a Subaru?

[losttheoffice2]

ill miss faraday!

[CandyCaneGirl91]

omg, his voice sounds so young lol

[ripelivejam]

wow he even gestures in the same manner lol

[peales1]

i miss faraday allready :(

[MrTrent]

This commercial made casting directors all around to send him feature film scripts ???

[theclownbaby]

LOST

[conto1880]

great actor... hideous car....

[AirOfMystery]

My god...it's full of 90s.

[Johnnymushio]

is this a dharma video? station 7 - the subaru

[korona3103]

oh the irony

[dalbrecht78]

it´s amazing... Dan!

[vcav22]

omg. this is so friggin dan faraday.

"this car is like... PUNK ROCK!"

[xwhitedemon]

That car is straight up Hall & Oates.

[Speednik]

The only problem is the headlights. They don't quite... scatter right.

[Zabba64]

lol at 0:17-0:19

JEREMY DAVIES IS A LEGEND

[Nanosauromo]

How old was he in this commercial?

[vanixuser]

22 i think

[hypn0t1c]

He should go back to 92' and make this commercial not suck.

[baldeaglegod]

haha lol - that was funny

[DakotaPlaysGuitar]

that car is pretty punk rock, i dont see the big deal

[JeremyVlogs]

omg Daniel timeshifted to '92!  That's where he went:)

[mute220]

punk sucks dick

[Holktube]

The next Keanu Reeves.

[ohcalcutta81]

No, because Jeremy Davies can actually act.

[SoaDShavo56]

This commercial will be my constant.

[Deptchargeeng]

He should've been so big back in the day.

[losttheoffice2]

well look at that its daniel faraday! hahaha

[p1rateferl1fe]

The original Vince. You following me camera guy?

FARADAAAAAAAAAY!

[lolwtf92]

Oh my god. . . He reminds me of Vince of ShamWow fame.

[orgonetrail]

hahahaha

It looks like a really boring car, too.

[freeburgfreak]

I'm amazed! That doesn't look anything like him but sounds EXACTLY. Hes like Alan Alda, looks nothing like Hawkeye, but SOUND EXCATLY like Hawkeye.

[hogwashsentinel]

He's an amazing actor. He acts with such grace and ease like it's all natural. And he makes every word he utters believable.

[hodgepodge91]

wow his character in lost (Faraday) is exactly like him. i guess he doesnt have to do much acting on the show

[Automission42]

This is really weird to think he talks like that in reality. I always thought it was a character/script thing.
