Rube Goldberg Honda Commercial
Apparently this is a pretty old Honda Commercial that aired in the UK some time ago. However, it’s new to me so it’s probably new to a few others out there as well. It’s rumored that this video took over 600 shots before the machine worked exactly as planned. I hope that’s true and that no special effects were used but either way, it’s still fun to watch.
yeah this advert used to be on uk tv all the time I miss that advert glad to have seen it again

Dude… I soooo covered this awhile ago. Plus, I located a Half Life II version, and a Family Guy version.

haha, sorry man I must have missed that one. I hereby confess that OrangeYeti officially found and posted this commercial first. Any more concessions you would like?
to smoot: Is this only a UK car? I don’t think I’ve even seen this model around these parts.

I dont know if it is a uk car only but to be honest now that I think about it I haven’t really seen any on the roads or really for sale

The advert was in cinemas as well as national TV and just about every advertising trade mag out there. The advertisers were brought to court for ripping off “Der Lauf der Dinge” a.k.a. the way things go. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094300/
