Funny...but fake right? In terms of the car salesman lack of knowledge into the situation. If real you think Pepsi might get sued...the other car that he fish tailed in the middle of the road too that can't be live I wouldn't think.

Yea thinking about it more just a stupid question on my part. Of course it's staged. No question.
If Gordon God forbid crashes the car and kills the guy or something who wouldn't have signed a waiver knowingly (unless he was in on it) then you are talking just an ungodly amount of money from Pepsi. No chance in hell.

Have to agree, no way they put someone in the passenger seat without signing a waver.

The driver of the other car was a professional too. You see the sentence that came up "closed stage, professional driver." If it was a closed stage, that wasn't a random driver. Funny, funny commercial.

Too fake. I doubt he was actually running people off the road. They were most likely professional drivers as well.

Incredible acting by Gordon and the car salesman. Very funny. Supposedly, Will Ferrell's "Funny or Die" group helped with it.

See to me it isn't funny because they tried to make it seem real. It was easy to see it was fake when there was a cupholder in the middle of the dashboard, he put it in the exact right spot the first time, and it never moved once he set it down. Also, taking that ramp in the car would have killed it

Do you say the same thing at a movie where everything is fake too? I just think it's good entertainment. Enjoy it for what it is.

THIS WAS NOT FAKE!!!!! It was a staged event and everone was involved in the event," BUT THE SALESMAN,", the dealership knew and supported this, car was set up and all drivers were pros. The reactions of the salesman were actual and he was not ACTING>>>> Saw this report on news and indepth report on the staging of event..
A follow up on this, according to pepsi,"Jeff Gordon was driving the car, a stunt driver was used for the other car and the salesman had no previous knowledge of the stunt. The dealership and everyone else was aware of the stunt!!! DIRECT FROM PEPSI..
