Yeah that's amazing. I saw it a year or two ago. Ebaums always get this type of stuff late.

Sweetness. That is the most intense Rube Goldberg Machine I have ever seen! Did they actually air the commercial?

Did they actually air the commercial?

I was just wondering about that myself. I love commercials like this. Actually makes commercial breaks not so bad.

I've heard that it was shown during Super Bowl.

My Dad (hey, I'm 10!) who works at Honda says they never aired it on auctual television because the length of the ad would cost millions.

they showed the whole ad here but split into 3 parts, that's the first time I've seen it all the way through.
Awesome! I thought it was cgi until I saw that site and stats.

I dunno, it looks like there might have been some "special effects" at a few parts there. :hmm:

I dunno, it looks like there might have been some "special effects" at a few parts there. :hmm:No, it was all real, I bet you are refering to the way the tires rolled up. They put weights on the tops of the tires (inside the tire) so while the tire rolled up the center of gravity still went down.

It was shown here in GB a year ago or so. I saw it several times when it was on.

The part where the three weels go up is somewhat questionable.........

Try it at home. Tape a weight to the top of something round, and give it a slight push. The weight will fall, and the wheel will roll uphill, for a little bit.

First they try to film that 606 times and they notice "oops, this is too long, we can't show this on television"? Wtf?? :hmm:

Anyway, it's still amazing. ;)
