Could David Abernathy be Chaz Tenenbaum's long-lost twin separated at birth and pronounced twice lost at sea in his quest to summit Mt. Kilamanjaro?
yeah, its just a very weak attempt at a Wes Anderson movie (especially Rushmore / Tenenbaums). There have been a few similar Super Bowl ads in the last decade, Hummer's "Happy Jack" H2 spot being the most overt.
The goldfish was Plato, not Aristotle. The owl, not seen, was Aristotle.
Just as with last year's SB commercials, cars.com continues to portray their dealer clients as ruthless and unethical. You'd think it wouldn't be smart to insult the source of one's income.
