Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime ad break is still almost a week away, but you can get a sneak peek at Honda’s new Ferris Bueller-inspired spot by clicking below. In fact, you’ll get a whole lot more than a peek: This is the full two-and-a-half minute version of Matthew Broderick reprising his role in an homage to the iconic 1986 John Hughes comedy. The clip that will be broadcast during halftime — where ad time costs $3.5 million for 30 seconds — will be only one minute long.

that was very entertaining
money well spent by Honda for the burgeoning family market
especially metero families
out here in southern realville we drive real SUVs like Yukons, Tahoes, Suburbans etc...Expeditions
nothing wrong with a Honda...I had one once...drove it from MS to Alaska..when the AlCan was gravel
Didn’t like his encouraging people to “take a day off” to campaign for the Kenyan. Didn’t like the Godzilla remake and there’s the UK driving crash that ended up killing someone...
Usually I can forget about all that and enjoy FBDO..except for Hughes’ obligatory retro 60’s references (No 80’s teen that I knew—and I was one—constantly waxed nostalgic about obscure teen idols from the 60’s, much less quoted them) plus Midwestern references that Hughes always had to throw in. My husband caught a 60’s period reference in Uncle Buck, for some racetrack or stadium that wouldn’t have existed in the 70’s, much less the 80’s.
Yes, we CRV owners do! I got several calls last week from the dealership where I bought my second one 4 years ago — I told them that because they make such great cars and this was paid off, I’m nowhere near needing a new one!
Personally I think the idea is way too late.
Plus he’s hawking a freaking car. No real good reason to do it.
No, it’s just that when one is in an accident, it’s just trashed.
When did you drive two Honda CRV’s down the road? How did you happen to get your hands on two of them?
*spit take*
Bwahahahaa!!!
Brilliant ad, thanks for posting
That was a fun movie, and Matthew Broderick is still kind of cute. I like the idea. And I am a huge Honda fan. And Acura.
Just the other day, I found a post-it note on my CRV with a phone number to call if I wanted to sell it. My car is a 2000 model-left the factory in ‘99!
Now that you mention it, except for a few dings it does look factory new. All I do, though is give it a hand wash and wax every two weeks. How it keeps looking the way it does, I don’t know. I am thinking of springing for a new paint job someday-believe me, she’s worth it. Best car I ever owned.
Now if only I could find a girlfriend to match...
Honda: Helping Old Nips Destroy America
Honda: How Odd-No Damn Acceleration
Honda: Hand Over Dollars to Asians
One car I will NEVER own, or any other Japanese/Korean tinfoil junk.
Oh, and I was not amused to see a Ferrari trashed, even if it was plastic.
Thumbs down on the movie too.
Ummm....except for taking mrs p6 to the drive in a few times. IIRC the movies were A Star is Born, Robin and Marion, and one of the Alien movies.
Can't really say because I wasn't watching the movie...nod, nod, wink, wink.
Save Ferris!!!!
I've been extremely happy with our Nissan Altima and would buy another no problem. Latest purchase was a Ford which has also been working great. No Obama Motors for me!
Robin and Marian was pretty good!
I have 3 Hondas. They’re practically bulletproof. Nothing ever goes wrong with them. Clearly you don’t know much about cars (or are stuck in 1972).
