LTSA - Same Day (New Zealand)

Newly re-uploaded after it mysteriously disappeared, here is the legendary "it's the same day, David!" speeding commercial from the LTSA.

This reached cult status in NZ and even spawned tshirts with the slogan on, among other things... Bit morbid, really.

My favourite part is, of course, his little squealing noise at the end.

was the speeding, at fault car, a police car? looks like it from the lights on the roof.

@omfg823 I'm fairly sure it's a roof rack, not a light bar. There's no way they'd have a police car for the crash!

At home we used to rip this off when it came on. I would be David's wife and Dad would be David, his crying getting more surreal and bizarre each time the ad came on... Oh, the memories. Recently at a friend's birthday party I was chatting with a guy and we totally remebered this ad and ripped it off; hilarious. Legendary, indeed!

@wordhappyHazel You are incredibly odd :) I'm glad it brought you such joy!

I just started cracking up when he began blubbering at the end. lol

@XxGirlyNinjaXx What is so hard to understand about this? He's in hospital after the crash. He drove into the family. He got a speed camera fine the same day. It's symbolic. His girlfriend or wife tells him it happened on the same day and he finally realises what he's done and breaks down in tears.

The woman was so over acting

I can remember watching this when I was little.

@wuzzlevideos What's may be hard to understand for others but for sure was for me is that from an American point of view where we drive on the right side of the road it looks like when at the crash the one at fault is the family driving because the other car is on the right side of the road. However one has to note that they're supposed to be on the left. On first watch it was hard to get, but now that I see it. It makes much more sense.

Ahhhhhhhhahahaha. We used to have so many laughs about this ad at primary school. This and the one where the guy is lying in the hospital bed shaking and his leg had been amputated. Used to act it out and all. Kinda sick, but so is this acting lol.

[davorunner]

I was just thinking that the way they did this ad it would've been a lot clearer if the same people they were following from the start were the ones that were in the wrong. That's why so many got confused. Either way the meaning of if you speed you run the risk of killing people is clear.

[Matr0nMalice]

Should feel so wrong clicking 'like' considering what it's trying to portrait, but as the acting is cheeseball to the Nth degree... no pangs of guilt.

@wuzzlevideos I know. But look at the environment I was raised in! XD Thanks for posting this!
