Stupid Fresh Time Machine Idea for Honda

By:

OK, this is the dumbest thing we’ve ever done for Honda. I think it’s my favorite.

Tasked with a straight-forward, shout-from-the-rooftops brief: “buy any new Honda now and pay nothing for 90 Days,” we created this clever notion that for a limited time, Hondas are like magic time machines.

Which, of course, means you can buy a Honda today and have enough time to grow ridiculous beards, hairstyles and give birth to your baby before you have to pay.

We imagined 90 days passing before your eyes, but rather than invest in special effects, we went with dumb jump cuts that make you smile. No matter how many times we see the joke, it’s a smile and a reminder that you can get any new Honda right now and pay nothing for 90 days.

We had some fun with our social messaging too, including the best Facebook header ever, if you like wagging dog tails:

And one of our better radio spots of the year was inspired by the most famous time machine ever — The DeLorean.
