@@one_step_sidewaysNo, not “better.” A 30-second ad is just paced faster than a 20-minute episode, so for the former, it seems like there’s more movement in shorter space of time, whereas the latter can take its time between big actions so that they have more of an impact.
0:03 Interesting how they used the original 1960's Speed Racer logo here, as this bit is obviously based from an old Trans-Lux Television era film print instead of the updated betacam copies with the CG replacement logo that Speed Racer Enterprises inserted when remastering the show circa 1992/1993. At least they got Corrine Orr back for this, it's too bad Peter couldn't return to voice Speed whatever the reason was.
@@benjaminbarrera214It’s best that they don’t get involved, considering that a) they do more harm than good and b) Chim Chim gets along just fine without their “help,” thank very much.
I think they got the original Spritle and Trixie (Corinne Orr), but for Speed, Inspector Detector and MAYBE Pops, they used Billy West (Doug Funny, Roger Klotz, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee to name a few) since the original actor Peter Fernandez was hard to reach or something.
Yes, and Trixie! She spoke about this in an interview about how disappointed she was that they didn't hire Peter Fernandez back (the rest were done by Billy West) or either of them for the Geico commercial.
im pretty positive that is Billy West voicing Speed Racer......also how fucking dare Volkswagen imply their shitty family Sadan is better then the Mach 5!!!
THIS VIDEO IN 1967 BUT THEY WOULD NOT HAD FOUND A 1996 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI IT WAS NOT BUILT UNTIL THE RELEASED IN THE 1990s in GERMANY ITS OVERWATCH EXILED FRENCH ENEMY WIDOWMAKER SABOTAGED THE SPEED RACER'S MACH 5
“In the road of life, there are passengers, and there are drivers.” A very inspirational quote from Ren Ho- I mean Speed. (Sorry. Since Billy West does 90% of the voices here, and knowing he is the voices of both Ren (after John K got fired for obvious reasons) and Stimpy, it’s kinda hard to watch this without picturing Ren being the “Demon on Wheels” by casually committing Mass Vehicular Manslaughter just to win a f***ing race. - Why does that sound like something he’d totally do in a Spumco episode… -)
Even in a commercial, somebody must die.
And it took only 18 seconds from the start of the commercial. Nice work, VW!
That's racing in the 60's for ya
I never thought a VW commercial would up the body count for Speed Racer
to be honest, the animation was spot on
I think it's a real ad
It is.
I thought they used parts of actual episodes and only added these new drawings of the car on top of that but I might be wrong. I love this haha
@@SpantaxDC10 either way, it was so well made that look legit. Like it came from the real anime.
"I chose Red because it blends perfectly with the blood of my enemies!"
Ic u found this in the recs to right 😂😂
"that guy had the right idea, he brought the brown car"
Even in a commercial, Speed's kill streak rises.
Except that’s not true, because Speed was clearly trying to avoid the other cars.
VW: Can we use Speedracer in our new commercial?
Studio: Yes.. but someone has to die.
It was the other way around. Rocknowski reached out to Volkswagen for this.
"On the road of life there are passengers and there are drivers".
Meanwhile, some dude just drove off the cliff and died. As is Speed Racer tradition.
Off the Road of Life, if you will.
It wouldn't be Speed Racer if there wasn't a body count.
Plot twist: Volkswagen sabotaged the mach 5
Hahahaha
I’d buy that. It’s like the 2008 movie in a way
When you realize that half the episodes had this plot 😂
I like how the logo on the keys turns into the logo on the car
I wonder how Tatsunoko Productions felt about this.
i think that they dont gave any fuck
@@superninja252 I agree. This was back when Speed Racer Enterprise owned the rights to the dub.
They had to approve it, so whatever they thought, they like the money.
I think they like it. It took only 18 seconds until someone died, so that's spot on!
@@MeltorizorOnly if you take a surface-level approach to the show that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
The animation for the commercial is much better than the anime
The anime is from the 60s and the ad is from the 90s so it makes sense
To be honest they would have made the animation better in the 1960s if it was a 30 second ad instead of a long episode.
@@one_step_sideways true
No, the animation is pretty much the same. In fact, it seems like they just took footage from the show and drew a Volkswagen over the Mach 5.

On the road of life there are passengers and there are drivers!
Go speed racer go!
On the road of life, there are passengers, and Speed Racer's crash victims.
-A very inspirational quote from Ren Hoe-I mean Speed.
Shit man, I vaguely remembered something about Speed driving a red 3rd gen Golf, but until today I thought I was just crazy.
Oh yay,a Mk3 Golf in Speed Racer's 60's universe... lol
4KUM4N023T0 and he drives like a typical golf drivers too . Like a dick!
I remembered this commercial since 1996!
This is the Volkswagen I remember
Everything is fun until he's going over that cliff

He is a demon on wheels.
SPEEDIFYIUDON'TWINWECOULDLOSEEVERYTHING!
"Here,speed."
are we going to ignore the fact that 2 children were sat in the boot with no seats?
One was a chimp, where's PETA?
If speed dies he's taking people with him
20th century - much more normal times. And by the way, it´s still safer than in the trunk.
@@benjaminbarrera214It’s best that they don’t get involved, considering that a) they do more harm than good and b) Chim Chim gets along just fine without their “help,” thank very much.
So what? They ride in the trunk most of the time.
"Oh,no! The Mach 5 has been sabotaged!"
Who sabotaged The Mach 5? Ace Deucey I'll bet!
Nivekmugnitram 12 Or Snake Oiler, Zoomer Slick, or Skull Duggery.
@@ForceMaximus84 Or maybe all three of them.
volkswagen themselves so they would have speed drive their car instead
@@ForceMaximus84 Slick and Duggery and the same person
Parker Crossland Their outfits are the same, and they share one cell of animation at one point, but they’re different characters.
Wow that’s cool! I’m glad I bought that car in Forza Horizon 5 and put decal designs on it to look like Jesse’s car from Fast And Furious.
Driving recklesly is fun until its not
Wow, Speed dragged his family along to watch and perpetrate the carnage.
Billy West does the male voices! A very prominent voice of my childhood!
He just jumped out the window
How did I not notice that
I never seen Speed racer driving a red Volkswagen gti before amazing
Too bad the ad wasn’t dubbed into Italian - you’d have all three Axis powers in one ad. Japanese anime, German car, Italian speech.
💀💀💀
This is beautiful
OK MY NEW FAVORITE COMMERCIAL !!!!!
A Cartoon Network comercial we all remember seeing.
That sounds like most of the original voice actors. Well, Speed and Spritle at least.
I think they got the original Spritle and Trixie (Corinne Orr), but for Speed, Inspector Detector and MAYBE Pops, they used Billy West (Doug Funny, Roger Klotz, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee to name a few) since the original actor Peter Fernandez was hard to reach or something.
Go Speed Racer Go
The voice of Trixie has to be the original, Corrine Orr…
Not gonna lie, kinda want a Volkswagen now
First time seeing this! It was actually pretty good especially using the original speed 😁👍🏾👍🏾
nobody:
the mouth of speed's dad: 😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡😀😡
This looks Spot on.
Billy West doing 90% of the voices lol
We've come a long way from commercials in the '90s. These days I'm not surprised to see something that looks like a gay porno advertising a car.
Gay porn, green porn (for Al Gore), or philosophical nonsenses about life (Plato and Nietzsche are absolutely going to buy some car :D).
Golf GTI is a pretty sweet ride tbh
Oh no, the Mach 5 has been sabotaged!
This ad is perfect
FaStEr SpEEd
If I'm hearing correctly, Corinne Orr is playing Spritle here...!
Yes, and Trixie! She spoke about this in an interview about how disappointed she was that they didn't hire Peter Fernandez back (the rest were done by Billy West) or either of them for the Geico commercial.
This is awesome!!! I feel like if this was a Honda commercial it would fit a lot better with speed racer because then they would both be Japanese
Is that Billy West?
Correct
Filling in for Peter, I see.
@@Angie2343 sounded like Corrine Orr was still doing Trixie and Spridle
@@dorourke105 Ah
im pretty positive that is Billy West voicing Speed Racer......also how fucking dare Volkswagen imply their shitty family Sadan is better then the Mach 5!!!

Just when you thought speed Racer couldn't get any more screwed up
But it wasn’t to begin with.
Go,Billy West! Go,Billy West! Go,Billy West! Go! 😂😂😂

Great commercial
Mack 4 and mack 6: am I a joke to you?😢

Vw knew who it was back then. Small affordable cars that were economical and fast and fun! Now it’s just discount Toyota.
❤
casually kills someone
Cool.
the more sits its have the more body bags can get in yay
If I saw this as a kid I would of beg my parents for a Volkswagen when I grew up. Now as an adult I now know anything is better than a Volkswagen. 😂

yes.
This is just forza horizon
