Little old lady in tv advert knows all the track in gran turismo

[Cobalt600]

Anyone seen the advert, cant remember what its for but its definatly a plug.... something about meeting neighbours and building communities.

 

[phughe03]

What do you mean, link to the ad ?

 

[Dijital Majik]

I caught it too, and don't remember what it was for either. I remember it wasn't games related though.

links will no doubt be up soon once someone else catches it.

 

[CCX]

I've seen it twice now...
I'll try and get a link but i don't what it was for either

 

[marky5244]

I saw the advert last night on TV as well, it was quite bizarre to suddenly hear that out of the blue. The advert can't be much good though as I didn't notice what it was for either!!!

 

[Peterram430]

I've also seen it but don't know what it was for.

 

[amar212]

Can anyone explain the content of the advert in more detail?

 

[RedBaron]

And post video to youtube and give a link here?

 

[Stevisiov]

Could some one kindly explain what on earth this advert is, and what relevance to gran turismo there is.?

 

[TheCracker]

It's for Mastercard. As for relevance to Gran Turismo - very little

 

[Stevisiov]

Oh

A tad random, I see what you mean now.

But I agree it doesn't have much relevance to Gran Turismo.

 

[RAVELLRON]

shahhaahahahahahah... funny...

 

[yeti]

Saw this the other night too - amusing.

That wasn't just some "little old lady", that was Gran Turismo!

Sigh that sucked!!!!!! .

 

[balang_479]

ahaha, i was expecting more..

 

[Robin]

Yeah I did notice that advert, was like "did she just say Gran Turismo?".. then I thought, I know this is going to end up on gtplanet!

 

[Mr P]

Yep saw it a few days ago also and it caught my attention... it would have been even better if we got to hear the old bat recite them hahaha

Then I would be impressed

 

[Dijital Majik]

haha me too.

But I did think I heard wrong, and that I might be going slightly mad and starting to see and hear new GT information in the most random areas of life, as though somehow a little old lady on telly had more info on GT5.

 

[Ardius]

Heh, maybe its Sony playing games with us! Making fun of our obsession with looking all over for info.

 

[Custer85]

Can someone please provide a link to the commercial? I cant find it on youtube.

Thanks for the link! 👍
The old lady did say "..and every track in GRAN TURISMO..", that's the funny part in the ad.

 

[Joel]

That's awesome! lol

 

[Worst_Driver]

lol awesome
Thanks to the guy who found this

 

[Cobalt600]

I think it is all part of the plan, there must have been some cooperation in the suttle plug as otherwise wouldnt it have been an infringment of copyright?

 

[Touring Mars]

I doubt anybody is going to complain at a bit of free publicity. Plus, I doubt that Polyphony Digital own the rights to the phrase "Gran Turismo", otherwise The Cardigans could be in trouble too... (I bet atleast one or two kids got a nasty shock at Christmas in 1998 when they got that album instead of the game!)
