See a (Fake) 'Fast and Furious' Olive Garden Ad: When You're There, You're Family!
The never-ending action movie franchise meets the Never Ending Pasta Bowl.
Two of the main recurring non-car-chase tropes of the Fast and Furious franchise — which opened its seventh film last night — has been Vin Diesel and the gang constantly stressing how they're "family"; and closing with a big "family" dinner. And we think they are missing a big cross-branding opportunity here to supplement their Corona cash: Doing ads for the stuff-your-face franchise Olive Garden, whose slogan is "When you're here, you're family." It's as if they're begging for Dom and Co. to show up for the buffet. Don't leave this money on the table, Vin! To show him just how well it would work, we've made this sample Fast and Furious Olive Garden ad, introducing such new themed dishes as Racecarbonara and Cheese Torto-letty. Dig in!
