I keep getting an ad with him facing down a bull, but the one I see is completely at night with M.C. just driving and mumbling. What gets me is that he does mumble, and exact opposite of what they used to do, he is talking in a lower voice than the things I am watching on TV that the ad comes on during. I guess he is just supposed to look cool, but I kind of think he looks like his wax statue from Madam Tussaud's. Last celebrity I remember Cadillac(?) using was John Slattery and he
WAS cool. |

A new study finds that people who are chipper & happy live longer. Which is surprising because people who aren't chipper & happy want to kill people who are always chipper & happy. David Letterman

Isn't the commercial for Lincoln?! Anyway, I can't stand MMcC, and I can't understand why the car company thinks that his mumbling in this commercial is going to help their sales.

It is a Lincoln but how would you know unless one watches the ad till the end.
All the drama and very little info on the actual product.

I started noticing a few years ago that in a lot of TV shows, the characters speak to each other in a very low, cool, up-close-and-personal way---even when it's not necessary. This forces me to turn up the volume or risk missing some dialogue if so much as a car drives by. I guess this style just makes it all seem really dramatic, even if all the characters are talking about is what to have for dinner. They even do this in my current favorite show, The Walking Dead. Here's what I mean (in this case, they're actually talking about what they're having for dinner): |

That was weird, I knew it was Lincoln but when I mistakenly googled "Cadillac Matthew Mc" all of the hits came right up with the youtube's I used so I never realized I had googled the wrong car company.
I fixed the topic subject so if that the few other people this ad bugs will know what I am talking about. I also think that Matthew looks like maybe he had been smoking the high quality pot he had in Dazed and Confused, and basically his entire life That's why he is soooooooooo laid back. |

And the music is just so damned sad!
When I first heard the ad from the next room, I thought we were being treated to another ASPCA or starving-child heart-breaking infomercial, but no. We got this instead! I am still wondering what it means. Tragic chords, wistful mumbling, aimless driving at night...how is this supposed to make us want to buy that car?

About the child starved commercial, I remember one airing about 13 years ago where some adult was walking with a barefoot child through what looked like a third world country. He said "She is so hungry and poor. She cannot even afford a pair of shoes. Send your donations to get her food and shoes." I remember thinking how irresponsible he was being to let her walk around barefoot and starving and not getting her any food or shoes himself. Lol.

I still can't get over the fact, almost three years later, that we have the same last name and my family is from WV. There's gotta be a relation somewhere. Back on topic, I kind of like MmC, especially in Tropic Thunder, and I vastly prefer this commercial to the loud, colorful obnoxious ones. I watch a lot of hockey, which requires me to keep the volume turned up, and it's nice when this commercial is the first one in each commercial breaks so that I have a chance to turn the volume down instead of going insta-deaf from a local car dealership commercial. |
