A Holiday to Remember

cmyx6go · 11-29-2023, 07:03 AM

It didn't feel right posting this in the humorous TV commercials thread but thought it was worth a view. Tear jerker alert. My sister sent it to me and the tears were running down my face.

Who the hell is peeling onions this early in the day?

Well that certainly gave me the feels. Good commercial.

Did I read it in another thread here or someplace else about that drive-in theater name being edited by the Chevy commercial producers to hide that it is actually named the FORD - Wyoming theater?????

I went through that very same thing with my grandmother, who had severe Alzheimer's, until she passed at 93. Definitely a touching commercial.

I'm sorry. Both my grandmother and great grandmother had Alzheimer's or dementia. It's tough and heart breaking when they don't remember you. I'm at an age now where a lot of my friends and cousins are going through this with their parents.

Very nice, Laura. Especially around the holidays. I hope we live that long, and stay healthy.

Thanks for posting.

Definitely a great commercial cmyx6go ! Chevy knocked it put of the park with this one.

Christmas is a time for reflection. We all take things for granted until one day, it's too late.

CTinline-six · 12-06-2023, 09:22 AM

I like the classic Suburban, and the sentiment of the commercial, but it is kind of funny that GM of all companies is producing a commercial like this.

UncleWede · 12-06-2023, 04:15 PM

The Amazon one where the 3 old ladies slide down the snow hill (thanks to the Amazon delivery) is almost as heart-wrenching, but in a better overall way since they can all still remember.

I haven’t seen that one.

I liked it but didn’t like the political/woke dig they tried in it.

Watch it again: as she’s driving grandma across town she reaches an intersection and says “it doesn’t snow as much anymore”. A “global warming” narrative, which they themselves refute when it snows more than normal.

I thought that took away from the video.

I didn’t catch that and honestly I don’t think I would have attributed that statement to global warming nonsense. It’s Snow cycles. We have ridiculous years of snowfall and then very dry years. Rinse, repeat …..

Edit- we’ve gone over 600 days here in NYC without a measurable snowfall. I didn’t have to shovel once last winter.
