Virtual Godfather – Home of Wiseguy Wisdom

35 years later, The Godfather still rules!

Did you catch one of the most creative and amusing gazillion dollar TV commercials during the Super Bowl?  It might have looked a bit familiar, since it was a direct takeoff and parody on one of the most famous movie scenes in film history, “the horses head” scene from The Godfather.

The TV commercial follows the famous scene frame by frame, as we see an old man awakening to find something in his bed.  But, surprise, it’s not a bloody horse head, but the grille from his Rolls Royce.  He screams in horror as we see the “new” car parked out in front of his estate. 

Just one problem, I can’t remember the car or carmaker who created the TV spot!  Sometimes you can lose the message in the creativity!   Remember, it’s not creative unless it SELLS! 

Trivia note:  The actor playing the old movie mogul character in the TV commercial was none other than Alex Rocco, the actor who played casino mogul Moe Greene!  I love the irony!
