GTA-inspired Coke Ad Will Run During Super Bowl

GTA-inspired Coke Ad Will Run During Super Bowl

February 4, 2007
GamePolitics has previously reported on an animated Coke ad featuring Grand Theft Auto-like animation.

And while the feel-good video isn't new, it will nevertheless run as one of three Coke commercials during tonight's Super Bowl, according to CNN/Money.

How do dancing mice fit in?

Did he like, you know, give mouth to mouth to a dying rat like in Docter Dolittle?

And what about his dangerous driving in the begining? Sure, you just did all those good deeds, but you almost killed several people there, and you scared 3 men by just pulling up....

I really think Coke is implying that if you purchase their products, you will suddenly turn into Jesus.

That's a really cool commercial, I like it.

@Brokenscope: I also wish you could stop random muggings in GTA, but I do go after criminals who randomly carjack. The criminals don't fare too well.

@Brokenscope and Jer

As a matter of fact, you could stop pickpockets in two GTA games. In GTAIII it was very common to see pickpockets doing their thing in the streets (you could actually see them make the motion of opening the wallet they just stole), and you could either beat them up or slow them down long enough for the victim to do it for you. And in Vice City, you could punch pickpockets being chased down by patrolmen and get $500 for each punch. It was a great way to make some quick cash in that game.

So now it's "I'd like to steal the world a coke...".

JT is now going to endorse Pepsi I'd bet. It's the choice of the old generation.

Clearly they're saying that ingesting Coke causes a neurobiological response which dramatically changes one's personality. And kids can walk into a corner shop and buy this addictive blend of chemicals? Won't someone please think of the children!?

That's a great commercial! :) Actually, if you've been to the movies recently, then you've seen it already as it's one of the ads they run during the previews.

so THAT'S why there's no coke machines in Liberty City. They all keep getting robbed by criminals, who then turn into good guys.

Come to think of it, I remember seeing this ad in a movie theater. Before Snakes on a Plane, I think. :) I had forgotten about that ad... and that movie. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I think Jack Thompson is still going to flip out over this commercial and threaten to sue cause it's the "Christian thing to do". Despite the commercial is funny and not violent

@Terminator44

Actually, I think the good citizen bonus in Vice City was only 50 dollars.

Anyway, you could also do that in Liberty City Stories.

But not in San Andreas. You punch a guy that the cop is chaing down, and you'll only piss the cop off. I wonder why that is...
