Video Rewind: 2015 Super Bowl Ad features a Man, his Silverado & a Romantic Bull

By -

Chevrolet Silverado HD commercial tells the short, humorous story of a man, his truck and a bull looking for romance.

To some people, Super Bowl commercials are more interesting than the championship game itself, so the high priced commercials which run during the big game are often unique, humorous and designed to have a broad appeal. This 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD commercial debuted during Super Bowl 48, in which the Seattle Seahawks pummeled the Denver Broncos by a score of 43-8, and while it starts off as your typical “serious working guy truck ad”, it takes a humorous turn.

The commercial – which was posted online by the YouTube account of Gananoque Chevrolet – starts off looking like most truck ads, giving us a look at the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD which is hooked to a stock trailer. In that stock trailer is a very beefy bull, which the commercial explains is a very eligible bachelor. The narrator explains that this eligible bull has a lonely heart and is looking for romance, and when he arrives at a large ranch with lots of lady cows, he is so happy that he licks the inside of his own nose.

The lady cows reply by licking the inside of their own noses, suggesting that the bull which arrived behind the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD will be able to find romance at this farm.

Really, other than a quick look here and there at the 2015 Silverado HD, this commercial doesn’t have anything to do with the truck, but this commercial offers a broad appeal due to the added humor while also pertaining to the interests of folks who would consider a new heavy duty Chevy truck for farm work.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
