Talk:Cog (television commercial)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can anyone confirm that this was never shown on US television due to the cost of such a long segment? -- Darac 13:42, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Nope. i saw it on a news station once, so i had the eviable position of being one of the only people that caught it, unless you watched NBC or CNN or something like that. -- SabinFigaro 11:13 AM, May 20, 2005
- I have also seen it on TV, I thought it ran during some big time event, but I do remember seeing it in it's entirety as an actual advertisement. I personally wouldn't want to buy the car either way, but it made me go "Wow, this commericial is sweet." PirateMonkey 00:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
What years was it produced/aired in? Circeus 02:26, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
- 2003 was it's main run; I first saw it in full at the cinema before The Matrix Reloaded, it got into Channel 4's Top TV Treats Of 2003 and then mostly disappeared. Kinitawowi 20:36, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
Boot? Bonnet? Windscreen? Central Locking? Tyres? I'm going to need to run this article through a translator... :-) Aranhamo 04:59, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Relevancy, berevity, be damned: would somebody like to name each car part in the secquence? Are they all from the advertised model? Are they all honda/acura? 74.104.15.247 21:51, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it's stop-motion. --Anonymous, 08:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sporting Trick External Link
I don't think the link is necessary. It has little or nothing to do with the article. Ben 21:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
This is the link I had in mind:
- Sporting Trick Video on Google Video
I'm removing it. Any questions or objections? Ben 21:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Way Things Go
I recently saw part of Fischli/Weiss's The Way Things Go at The Lowry gallery in Salford and I have to admit, Cog bears more than a passing resemblance to it. In fact the similarity is blatant - although in many ways the range of interactions in the Fischli/Weiss film is rather more clever. -- Solipsist 15:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- There should probably be a reference to Fischli and Weiss in the opening paragraph of this article. The commercial does not contain some similarities to their work, it is a deliberate homage or, if they were not paid or credited, a blatant rip-off. That said, Fischli and Weiss were probably fans of Mouse Trap (board game) as children.Terwilliger 19:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official Honda Website
Can someone find and provide the link to the ad on the official Honda site? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.69.54.1 (talk) 10:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Name of Cog?
I have heard a few reasons why it's called cog. Some have said because of the gear in a car which is first seen in the commercial. Others have said center of gravity, possibly suggesting the car's center of gravity shifting at the end to finalize the scene. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ucla1989 (talk • contribs) 08:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
