Honda’s latest ad packs a lot of cool optical illusions into a single minute

Everyone loves a good optical illusion – that immediate shock at what you just saw and that feeling of satisfaction when your brain catches up to figure it out. The recent boom of 3D street art like that we saw from China recently has pushed illusions to a new level.

This sense of amazement has been harnessed and crammed into a one-minute commercial for Honda’s new mid-sized SUV, the CR-V. Having been put up on 17 October it’s been well received by viewers who call the ad “Awesome” and the “Best car commercial ever!”

The video’s concept is “An Impossible Made Possible” and features rapid-fire illusions usually along with their reveals.

Viewers left comments expressing their marvel at the multiple illusions saying things like “My head hurts”; “Very creative commercial!”; and “Specs look promising on paper. Diesels need gutsy torque and it’s a wonder Honda simply didn’t give this unit another 150cc.”

Oh right, this was an ad about a car, wasn’t it!? Most people probably walk away from a commercial like this not remembering what the actual product was. However, to Honda’s benefit it does demand multiple views, giving people repeated exposure to the name. So by around the fifth time watching, you probably will have picked up at least the name CV-R…or something.

Nevertheless, Honda has yet again put together a highly entertaining advertisement and we look forward to what they’ll come up with next.
