They never show people sitting in traffic in car commercials. amirite?

Most things they show in car commercials would lead to me getting my license suspended

Like, why do they always show the center lane strip going under the car on TV - meaning the car is driving in two lanes!

They never show drivebys either. I dunno if it would make me want the car, but I'd remember it

Should probably keep the sunroof closed during an invasion..

If they did, there would probably still be a disclaimer that it's "a professional driver on a closed course, do not attempt."

This reminds me of all the Land Rover promotional videos.

It's as if everyone buying a car lives in the mountains and hauls 20 tons of building materials on a daily basis.

People will think I'm gay if I can't fit an entire tool shed in the bed of my truck.

Very weird. It's almost like commercials are advertisements designed to show off the product in ideal conditions and not remind people of the drudgery of daily life.

Back when Volvo first launched the current XC90 with their 'Pilot Assist' system, they had an advert with it in traffic, with the Pilot Assist system 'driving' the car.

Rich Grey Poupon aficionados caused traffic delays in the 90s

Omg, you're right. It's just the car they're selling driving on an empty road.

Wow. Great spot. What will you wow us with next? Never showing hangovers in beer commercials? Never showing people groping the fruit you wanted to buy in a grocer's commercial? Never showing having to reboot your computer and wait 20 minutes for updates to install in a PC commercial? Golly iT's A mYsTeRy

You're a real charmer. I bet you're fun at parties.

I am. I can spend an entire evening listing all these examples of adverts not showing the mundane aspects associated with the kind of products they sell. Everyone is in awe, hanging on my every word, I can tell you.
