This is the one I came on to comment on. As if we needed any more proof that Chevy focus groups are indeed actors, here we have this little gaggle of gamers with their "Oh my gosh" in unison when the curtain opens to reveal some SUVs and crossovers and whatnot. While I'm not sure if "Oh my gosh" is still something that kids say, I AM pretty sure it's not something they say when they see a bunch of new-age station wagons. If it were a bunch of Corvettes, maybe, because... you know, those look cool and you might actually get a little twinge in your roll of Tums when you see one. But, for the simple fact that they react on the sight of the cars, BEFORE it is explained to them how this is going to allow them all to play Angry Birds... or whatever... just screams "scripted" louder that Little Timmy getting his first (apparently SUV-inspired) boner caught in his zipper. Sorry, but when you're using actors and trying to play the "not actors" card, you should spend a few extra bucks and get actors who are good enough actors to convince me that they're not actors.

Oh yes, kids still say oh my gosh/god. Sometimes they even say "O-M-G". YES...O, followed by an M, followed by a G. Text talk.
This focus group series needs to wrap it up, now. I'm sick of every one of these ads. "Real people, not actors" - yeah, and pigs are flying and hell is freezing over.

Should be perfectly legal for retail cashiers to use.

They also made one making fun of old technology. Also, I wonder if the bearded focus group guy is just either some weirdo Chevy kidnapped off the streets, one of Chevy's executives, some middle-class hipster hired by Chevy to lead these "real people" in order for him to get enough money for a Wii U or an Xbox One or a Playstation 4 or a Wii Mini, an ex-actor for English dubs of Japanese anime, or someone the ad agency kidnapped off the streets.

They can run 100 "focus groups" and select the best one and edit it.

The 'respond in emojis' one gets my vote of 'hate', although I really do not like any of them and Chevy should know the longer they keep it up, the longer it will be before I rent or buy another Chevy - 'emoji' - one of those newfangled, made-up words for single image silly. childish, and immature computer cartoons reflecting the user's 'feelings' (screw a bunch of their 'feelings')...but they did do SOME good with this commercial. Did anyone notice the name tags on the participants? No way they are the real names - but kudos (another new-fangled word I dislike) to Chevy for the names.
Two black folks, 'Luyanda' and 'Aston', eh? 'Aston''s parents appear to either have a spelling deficiency by forgetting the 'h' in the proper first name of 'Ashton', or they named him after John Aston, or maybe even after the Aston-Martin motor car. I've never known anybody with the first name of 'Aston'. Then again I've never known or heard of 'Luyanda', but she's kinda cute and the fun way she says 'stop it' in the back seat in another version of this commercial makes me want to do
Will she drive a Chevy? No, she's too young, Chevy's too stupid, and GM makes rattletrap cars and yea - I have an emoji for them - .
