Sometimes arresting Super Bowl advertising isn’t an “extreme dream sequence” (see Kia’s “A Dream Car. For Real Life,” also in 2012) or a bursting pinata of sights (see Samsung’s “A Thing Called Love”). Case in point: “Think Fast,” the fine execution of one simple joke over a short stretch of road.
This was one of two Hyundai ads in Super Bowl XLVI, along with “Cheetah,” illustrating the risks of being on foot around the titular animal. Both were created by Innocean.
