Jeff Gorman of Accomplice Media directed this spot for Boston car dealer Herb Chambers out of New York agency DeVito/Verdi.
The commercial opens on a man dragging a body to a car parked on a darkened suburban driveway. The man tries to stuff the body into the trunk, but parts keep flopping out, first a leg, then a hand, then a head. As the man continues to grunt and strain to stuff the corpse into the trunk, the voice-over explains that a purchaser of a pre-owned car from Herb Chambers can return it within five days for a full refund “no questions asked.” You can even return the vehicle if the trunk is too small.
