I can't tell if this is racist or funny or both.

Haha, it does remind me of Colbert Report. I like the horses running through the water. Not overboard at all.

Might be slightly outdated manufacturing techniques, but interesting nonetheless.

Holy shit that's funny. I didn't even realize there was a running commentary until about halfway through. I had to back it up and watch it again.

Old, but I had not seen it... Didn't know if I should put this here or in the F1 thread.
Quote:
Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the show.

Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around the world, and filmed them running through the streets of Rome , Rio , New York , Hong Kong, Honolulu, and Monaco. No computer graphics---these are the original cars on the original streets.

The best part is the sound - from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1 car.

You know what I haven't done in a while... the running man to NIN.

...I just got to the end... and HOLY SHIT! That "let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails" the host shouts has ended up on B-sides and remixes. I never knew where that came from.

I wonder how many times a week Trent has that video tweeted to him.
