GOAT

contrast with

Narrator: Sixteen, wide eyes.
Driver’s license, took two tries.
First drive, fast living.
Hit the garage door, was forgiven.
Bought a roadster, second hand; playing parties with the band.
Showing off on the strip, end of summer roadtrip.
Late for curfew, speeding ticket in Kalamazoo.
Loaded up, off to state.
High jinx, tailgates.
Late night, big skies; a passenger with green eyes.
Starter, midsized.
Family cruising, a sing-a-long of her choosing.
Now in the garage, something new; reminds you of when you…were you.

This commercial and it's progression (and this line) makes me think the dude ditched his wife and kids and started a new life with his sweet new Mazda.

Seems to me they may be shooting for some viral campaign with dueling Colonel's. I'm expecting Hammond's Colonel to do some sort of "response" in a week or two.

I don't mind the theme. I hate the timing of the phrasing and how the guy says it.

Family. Cruising.

Norm is an improvement since there was nowhere to go but up, but I still think mocking the guy who built the company is a weird and classless choice for a advertising campaign. That and their food is garbage.
