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.

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.
Rotfl that comerical was great.
That commercial makes me "Lawl" inside. XD
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.
That's such a cool advert, totally makes me feel good watching it.
Impressive animation too.
I can swear I've already seen that commercial on TV...
Am I the only who wishes you could you could stop a random mugging in GTA.
^
Nope, but cant you do so? in GTA:SA? I can't remember
All I can say is: Sweeeeeeet. :)
lol That was a cute commericial ad XD
Heh heh, love that commercial.
That commercial was awsome. I can't wait to see what other commercials air tonight.
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.

Wow i wish someone would yank me outta my car during the day just to give me a Coke, I actually found this to be extremely amusing. Good work to whoever made this
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
Roffle my Waffles!!
@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...
But what happens after the caffeine leaves his system?

@Toad King

No suprise there, this isn't a new commercial, i think it first came out sometime last year... it's still awsome though ^^
gotta love how he stops that random mugging
This commercial is kinda old. Sure you haven't seen it before?

Alyric: Of course, Mark falls into the common trap about Columbine, which had nothing to do with bullying, etc. See: http://slate.msn.com/id/2099203/?GT1=3256 for a more thorough explanation.

Andrew Eisen: JT "knew it would be a good audience." Not what he said on Tuesday.
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:01pm
Andrew Eisen: VG cause violent behavior. VG companies influence behavior to get sales. Yeah, that makes sense. (To be fair, the Twitter feed makes deciphering JT's point pretty tough.)
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:52pm
Andrew Eisen: Yes, it's been proposed but as far as I know it has not been passed. Big difference.

Posted 07/04/09 at 04:49pm
Andrew Eisen: Far as I know, Germany has not banned all violent video games.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:44pm
Cheater87: Jack wants the US to follow Germany's total video game ban.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:42pm
Andrew Eisen: Note to JT, it is not illegal to sell kids a ticket to R-rated movies.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:39pm
Cheater87: Jack said we would be better with no rating sytem.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:35pm
Alareth: So what was the introduction used for Jack?
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:31pm
JDKJ: Heard one, you've heard 'em all. He repeats the same act, with the same half-truths, over and over.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:31pm
Andrew Eisen: Using a credit card as age verification is not illegal. Hope Mark called him on that and his made up statistics.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:30pm
Alareth: Jack is special, his mommy always told him so.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:29pm
Andrew Eisen: JT lied about that APA causation thing again. Wonder if Mark called him on it.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:04pm

Andrew Eisen: Rodrigo - A fun idea but you might want to fix the typos.
