Ryan Reynolds Creates Buzz in Hyundai Commercials
Welcome to Ryanville:
Capitalizing off of the success of the recent Marvel/Disney smash hit, Deadpool, a new Hyundai TV spot—first released during Super Bowl 50—imagines a town completely stocked to the brim with the ever-so-handsome Ryan Reynolds. The clip goes a little like this: Two females are seen cruising through what could certainly be Anytown, USA in a clean as a whistle, bright Electric Blue Hyundai Elantra. The two look happy enough—it is, after all, a very nice day outside—and seem quite content as Salt ‘N’ Pepa’s 1994 hit song “Whatta Man” plays in the background. The two then pass Ryan Reynolds riding a bike, whom both the women are quick to glance toward.
However, things soon get rather interesting for the two women. The next scene shows some poor, unfortunate soul in a drop top that has been pulled over by a cop, one who is now in the midst of writing the speeder what one can only assume is a pretty pricy ticket. Suddenly, however, the driver of the vehicle (and assumed speed demon) is reveled to be non-other than Ryan Reynolds. “Can you give me a warning?” he desperately asks the cop
“Sure,” the cop responds in what careful viewers will be quick to note is Ryan Reynolds’ own voice. Suspicions are soon realized when the camera cuts to another Ryan Reynolds (we can call this one “Police Officer Ryan Reynolds”) giving the other Ryan Reynolds (say, “Speed Demon Ryan Reynolds”) the ticket he has just written. “Warning,” Police Officer Ryan Reynolds says, “here comes your ticket.” The two women then pass yet another Ryan Reynolds doing various road work (i.e., operating a jack hammer), who smiles at the ladies as they pass.
Finally, the TV spot’s coup de grâce as far as multiple Ryan Reynolds is concerned, the two women in the Electric Blue Hyundai Elantra pass by a group of men—all Ryan Reynolds—playing a backyard game of football. The women, obviously as surprised as any normal person would be when confronted with what looked like the same person over and over again, gawk at the group of Ryans as one collides into another and screams, “In my face!”
However, in the wake of their distraction, the two women failed to notice yet another Ryan Reynolds walking a group of dogs, has started crossing the street (we can call him “Dog Walker Ryan Reynolds”). Not paying attention, the ladies are certainly on a path to run the poor, unsuspecting Dog Walker Ryan Reynolds over. But luckily the Electric Blue Hyundai Elantra’s auto emergency braking system kicks in and stops on a dime, saving Dog Walker Ryan Reynolds from what was sure to be a collision. “A car that doesn’t get distracted . . .” explains a voiceover, implying that, of course, we all get distracted sometimes and, because of this fact, Hyundai is doing everything in its power to keep us safe.
Keep checking back with us at Rosen Hyundai for more information with regard to Hyundai Motor America. Too, while you are at it, why not sign up to test drive a new Hyundai Elantra? (Though we can certainly say that you will not be disappointed, we cannot, in fact, guarantee you a town full of Ryan Reynolds clones.)
