Seeing that discussion about bad Chevy ads. Here’s a enjoyable and fun Walmart ad that just came out.

I wonder how much was paid in licencing fees for that?

The only disappointment was they used the wrong Batmobile.

That’s fun. 

But it reminded me of the Challenge priced Delorean I once missed. sad

Ya, that was a fun commercial. Good cover song by Fear Factory as well.

 

Is the red and white Ford pickup at the end from a movie or TV show?

I don't think so. Just a clean, old pickup. I noticed it as well.

That’s Sam Walton’s actual Ford F-100.

Wow, that is berkeleying awesome. It looked out of place among the modern blah-mobiles so I thought it had some significance.

That commercial made my day yes.

Too bad they overplayed the thing during the football games.  I don't need to see that commercial ever again.

The way Walmart rolls it's hard to know how expensive it was to be included.

Yeah, I'm going with "didn't pay a cent."  Probably told the studio(s) "We're making a commercial.  Your IP is in it.  Sign this use waver.  Oh, and while you're at it, make the commercial for us like this...."

They called me about using the Fiesta ST, but I said no way. I didn't want fame to go to her head.

Nothing. I'm sure they extorted and beat on the companies in order to use the IP.
