Nespa?

Cadillac posts an ad with a cocky white American guy saying that if you work hard (and don't take August off like they do in other countries), anything is possible. Ford responds.

The Ford ad is hilarious. It's straight out of Portlandia.

(psst - It's not "Nespa" - it's French, and is actually spelled "n'est pas".)

((actually, it's spelled "n'est-ce pas") actually, this is hugely pedantic)

Yeah, I derped on the title - it was meant to be temporary but I forgot to look up the correct spelling before posting, oops.

This is really a double, and I wouldn't mind if this was deleted.

I really think another country will make it back to the moon before America does.

Inspector Milo Perrier: Since we cannot call for a doctor, I will need a cold compress for my chaffeur, and a cup of hot chocolate for me, n'est ce pa?

Jamesir Bensonmum: I don't think we have any Nespa, sir. Just Hershey's.

Well it wouldn't be "back" then, would it?

It's still obnoxious the second time around.

I love that they Cadillac hired Neal McDonough to do that commercial, because everything he says sounds like it could come straight from the mouth of Robert Quarles. I kept hoping that they'd pan to the bathroom to reveal the beat-up rentboy handcuffed to the toilet.
