Chevy Volt gets its own song and dance, humanity weeps aloud

And you honestly thought you'd see a decent return-on-investment from bailing these guys out.

I really didn't think it could have ever been that bad...

DAMN, they exceeded my expectations. Now I have to find something to gouge my eyes out with.

[vespir78 Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:01PM]

This planet is screwed.

[codebreaker Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:02PM]

why the cheerleaders? get the tree hugging folk dancing people in here NOW

[vespir78 Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:04PM]

@codebreaker

Hahaha. Greatness.

[Prestidigitator Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:13PM]

Chevy if you're noy going to take this seriously then give me back my tax money!

[Tohe Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:14PM]

Ahh Volt and Me!

[Tohe Posted Dec 15th 2009 1:33AM]

BTW isn't that Hairo Torres?

[epic Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:19PM]

I just left my Yukon running outside my house for an hour to try to kill the planet b/c if buying a volt increases the chance that more of these performances are made, then forget green, go black!

Welcome to the *NEW* GM folks.

As a taxpayer I'm a part owner in GM, so GM... YOU'RE FIRED!

[EnduroDriver Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:33PM]

Good news gentlemen, we’ve found our new engadget dancers. The wife says the young hipsters will love them.

[ethana2 Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:33PM]

Have they gone all metric yet or do I still save 50% on tools by only buying foreign?

[Loonie Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:43PM]

For crying out loud, Chevrolet, you're supposed to try to SELL the things!

[mikeo13 Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:53PM]

Please kids, stay in school!

[GuyWithDogs Posted Dec 14th 2009 7:56PM]

I liked the rhyme of "here" with "idea-r"...

"E" for "eccentricity"
"H" for pure hilarity ...

[XBRPhoto Posted Dec 14th 2009 8:10PM]

the best part was at 2:23

[amirmah Posted Dec 14th 2009 8:11PM]

2 scenes from 2 shows come to mind when I saw this chevy vid:

scene 1: Phoebe Buffet from Friends singing "Smelly Cat"

scene 2: Stewei from family guy in the vomit gig scene, when he cries "I don't wanna, I don't wanna ..." and then pukes.

Rubbish electric car marketing... EV1 all over again?

[Seraphim Posted Dec 14th 2009 8:31PM]

Good thing the taxpayers payed for overweight cheerleaders and a rookie breakdancer. When do they get another bailout? Send Donnie Osmond next time.

[aaronaaron Posted Dec 15th 2009 11:46AM]

...you're shitting me.
ALL THAT BAILOUT MONEY AND YOU COME UP WITH THAT SHIT!?!?!
W....T.....F.......

[harbingerofdoom Posted Dec 14th 2009 9:16PM]

well its always good to see that skimming the comments saves me a few minutes and i can avoid having to stand in line to get my click returned to me.

[morbidsaint Posted Dec 14th 2009 9:49PM]

lame!!

[schlatzi Posted Dec 14th 2009 9:52PM]

could be on southpark... but out, yeah, yeah!

[SeamusDDog Posted Dec 14th 2009 9:57PM]

Ed Begley Jr. now has an answer to the question "Who killed the electric car?" Holy crap, that was bad.

[SanRamonBob Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:17PM]

I see a few jobs created or saved by the stimulus package.

[reallynotnick Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:18PM]

Needs more of the red/brunette head.

[Bio Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:27PM]

mad skillz

[deepdigits Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:33PM]

The sad thing is this disaster had to make it past numerous marketing execs and the like before even materializing.
It amazes me that no one raised their hand in the meetings and said, "This is really lame guys."

[uscmafia Posted Dec 14th 2009 10:43PM]

this makes microsoft employees dancing much better !!!!!!

[formetopoopon Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:30PM]

//wrists //wrists //wrists //wrists!!!!!!!!

[assrectum Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:31PM]

i don't get it, what were they trying to accomplish...?

[seven5suited Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:32PM]

Did I just get served?

[Lowest Ranks Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:33PM]

hey, a dancer's gotta eat too.....


....especially in these recession times

[iPodAddict181 Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:41PM]

I want my taxes back.

[tekkenfighter123 Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:56PM]

The song was actually catchey, but the dancers didn't go with it. When the guy came on screen I lost it, lol. After a while it actually wasn't that bad. Possibly I went brain dead? But seriously, the song wasn't that bad.

[tamosius Posted Dec 14th 2009 11:58PM]

I'm not sure how they were able to perform.. it was embarrassing to watch!

[poached Posted Dec 15th 2009 2:36AM]

It's good, actually. How much more can you expect from a live performance at a trade show? At least they didn't hire a bunch of booth babes to stand around the car - I've always thought that's a tasteless strategy. I like the song a lot actually and wouldn't mind hearing it used in a Volt commercial, but more artsy like Honda or Toyota.

[alexk554 Posted Dec 15th 2009 2:48AM]

Looks like Chevy deserved to die....

[Valicore Posted Dec 15th 2009 3:59AM]

Wow. That was the longest 2:23 seconds of my LIFE. It was really bad - not because of who was dancing, but because of what they were dancing to. How did this happen? Who let this happen? I want a formal inquiry :P

[WeirdHero Posted Dec 15th 2009 4:27AM]

Were doomed! DOOMED!!!

[conyeje2 Posted Dec 15th 2009 6:24AM]

You know, I always thought that I was gonna get a Chevy Volt.......till I fell in love with the Tesla S.....now Chevy, Toyota, and any other car company trying to get in the EV business can kiss my grass. There's nothing sexier than going ALL electric, and doing it in complete luxury and style the way Tesla does complete EV's!

[ognimanaw Posted Dec 15th 2009 8:23AM]

"This commercial is proudly brought to you by the American petroleum industry."

[napdaddy Posted Dec 15th 2009 8:46AM]

This is what happens when you let old cheerleaders try to relive their glory days.

[Dusty Posted Dec 15th 2009 9:12AM]

Wow... *blink**blink*

[Jake88 Posted Dec 15th 2009 10:30AM]

shoulda got the jabawakies

[DCnDC Posted Dec 15th 2009 11:30AM]

Not sure which marketing campaign is worse. The Microsoft & Sienfield adds, or this.

[TheRPN Posted Dec 15th 2009 5:40PM]

I don't know what's worse... Chevy Volt dance, or Microsoft store dance?
