@@_duh_factor of course not. The most awkward ads I see on TH-cam are tiktok ads, which are made for dumb teens, and that wish.com ad with the girl doing gymnastics with absolutely no reason and no message unless "hey you see this is a nice girl, so come buy things on our website"
For me the second most amazing thing for me in this commercial was that they were able to do it just as the sun comes over the mountains. There is a window of like 30 seconds where that moment happens. To be able to have everything set up and running right on cue is just amazing to me.
Volvo found out after shooting this that " the dynamic steering" mode was in fact turned off. Lucky JCVD was able to control the trucks steering with his legs. :) love this ad!!
This commercial reminds me of my brother, who passed away less than two months after this video came out. He hated Enya, but I love her. Also love Van Damme.
I think this is actually the best commercial I've seen in my life and, quite probably, the best commercial ever. Whoever came up with this idea should get an award or something. Jesus!
Amazing! I've lost count of how many times I have seen this. Before the Volvo one, this here was my favorite commercial: th-cam.com/video/gSmLwYV6K5M/w-d-xo.html
@@billywashere6965 yeah when advertising was still somewhat creative, now its just "PEPSI STANDS WITH YOU IN FIGHTING "INJUSTICE" WHILE UR PROTESTING DRINK PEPSI HEHE" 🤦♂️

Maaan Volvo is real chill! Why hasn't anyone noticed that they've replied lol? BTW, my Volvo S60 is still the greatest car I've ever owned (and still own)
A rare comment from me to explain why this stunt is actually 100% real and give people a better appreciation of this video. Rewatch this a few times after you read my post. 1) The trucks are driven in reverse for two reasons. People who've driven anything with a trailer know how difficult it is to keep it completely steady in reverse. The secondary reason is there's less possibility of JCVD being run over, if he were to have fallen off. 2) The trucks are _NOT_ identical. The truck on the left of the video is 3 axled and the truck on the right is 5 axled. What this means is the truck on the left is a box truck, while the truck on the right is a truck + trailer. This is important as it explains why the truck on the left is the one that moves. If you turn while reversing a trailer, the trailer WILL turn in the opposite direction. This means if the truck on the right had done the spreading, the trailer would have moved closer to the other truck and made the stunt impossible. If you want to try this in real life...push and pull a kids wagon or a pallet jack while turning. You'll understand why this is so significant. 3) There are 4 people you can see in the trucks. Two of them are watching the solid lines to understand spacing. The other two are observing the dotted lines...notice the right truck occasionally has a white spot show up near the right side of the right truck. The dotted lines and spots are used by the other two people to gauge their timing/speed. This is an absolutely amazing and creative stunt. Hats off to whoever designed the stunt in it's entirety; they really thought it out.
It's incredible.i still remember my amazement the first time I saw this,as he was lowering into the split.I will never forget that. It is transcential art expressed through the intelligence that designed and engineered the technology, jcvd's talent,skill and strength, and enya's beautiful music. My interpretation is ; THIS represents and encompasses the things we(our civilization ,in the new millennium)value, and strive for; beauty,knowledge,innovation,determination, love, PEACE. That the majority of humans are not narcissistic, greedy, cruel, war mongerers portrayed by the mainstream media.
As a truck driver, if people would only know how much skill it takes, to keep this tractor truck in control backwards with a trailer. Insane driving skill.
yes its really amazing. did you see that the truck with the "simpler" kinematics is the one steering, whereas the more complicated one stays on a straight line ?
@@kasel1979krettnach Ah yeah didn't notice it. The one that moves doesnt have a trailer behind it, which makes it easier to steer backwards. But it's still impressive that he could hold the other tractor trailer truck in a straight line with that speed.
@sebastian popek honest anwer: yes, because it is. The safety equipment was also real but has been removed from the pictures. (retouche), there is a making off video available as well.
@Tokyo Drift how can you be so sure??? only if you were driving the trucks... the illusion is complete and it was all done backwards and they were driving ahead.. much easier... much less risk

"Do you remember that ad where Jean-Claude Van Damme does the splits?" "Nah, never heard of it" "Sorry I meant the ad where they demonstrate the stability and precision of Volvo Dynamic Steering." "Ahhh Now I got you."
Imagine the look on everyone elses face when some marketing guy came up with this idea. "OK so look, we're gonna have two trucks side by side. Then we get Jean-Claude Vandamme standing with one foot on each sidemirror and then the trucks part slightly and he does a split between them".
@@Biggie2829 you really brought up a split done between 2 chairs when this man really did a split between 2 big ass trucks while they’re being driven. That’s like seeing someone do a backflip off of a 100 ft tall cliff and then mentioning how someone else did a cool backflip into a swimming pool.
It's almost been 10 years since this commercial came out. During that time NOT A SINGLE commercial has managed to top this. Absolutely perfect. This is how you market your products.

Ugo pagès actualy he had problems with his hips and got surgury by my dad (you prob dont believe me but ok) and he wanted to give credits in a way so thats why this comertial is made
Manager: How precise is the steering? Engineer: It's so precise that Jean-Claude Van Damme could do a perfect split between two trucks driving in reverse. Manager: Prove it...
Van Damme & Volvo. Two things I never thought would be in the search bar together. And hundreds of times for me. I hope it’s taught in every marketing class.
The epic split, the sunset, the perfect truck alignment, the narration, the soundtrack, the clear sky, the shooting angle changing to enhance the sunset.. So many factors that combine together making this a masterpiece! Still SO satisfactory to watch, even 9 years later!
It is epic because of all the things you state. I haven't seen it in years, but it still generates the same strong emotional response as it did years ago.

@@williampatrick2971 I thought the same thing, but then I looked at his pants. As he splits, the bottom of his pants ride above his boot. If it was in reverse, his pants leg would not have fallen back over his boot. This shows that his pants were pulled as he split, confirming the trucks were actually going backwards. Amazing!
Legend has it Van Damme was pushing those trucks apart with his legs.
Big deal. Chuck Norris was driving both trucks.
Im just freaken impressed that Jean Claude Van Damme can even do that.

This jlhits different now
We were happy back then... we just didn't know it.
Fuck you
Rehim Humbetov Whats yo frustration my guy
@@rehimhumbetov9227 I see you're in your up and downs.
The real question is, Who makes those pants? That's what I'm interested in buying.
Probably the same brand the hulk is wearing.
@@exisTxD good one
Hugo Boss
Search "Chuck Norris pants" he sell ones.
He must’ve borrowed those from hulk.
It's almost been 10 years since this commercial came out.
During that time NOT A SINGLE commercial has managed to top this.
Absolutely perfect. This is how you market your products.
The jack links commercial with the Sasquatch growing out of the guy’s back in a nasty public restroom and unleashing a powerful stream of piss, destroying the urinal across the room is up there
ikea lamp commercial is good too.
Chuck will not tolerate disrespect!
th-cam.com/video/9HoFIamOLig/w-d-xo.htmlsi=byfWCCO3xpzY4Ly-
I can't believe it was 10 years ago wtf
Yes, not a single one anywhere in the world because you've seen them all
One of the best ads of the history of mankind ❤
You know an ad is THAT GOOD when everyone randomly remembers it years and years later and comes back to rewatch it. Well done Enya and JCVD.
Absolutely. I didn't remember what they were trying to sell but I remember JCVDs epic split xD
So atleast 4 years later
@@AdenAvory KEKW
And its for something none of us will ever buy.
AND VOLVO....😅
Don't know why TH-cam just put this in my recommended but...
I'm not disappointed.
TH-cam goes crazy
Taba Chir With awesome results (for once).
Christian Anderson I’m grateful jajaja
Dont be fooled, this is not the precision of Volvo Dynamic Steering. But simply Van Damme's legs, keeping the trucks in line.
:D
Still the greatest commercial of all time.
I expected "This test was set up to demonstrate the stability and precision of Jean-Claude Van Damme"
Ugo pagès actualy he had problems with his hips and got surgury by my dad (you prob dont believe me but ok) and he wanted to give credits in a way so thats why this comertial is made
@@iiLouis352 yeah ur dad sure
David Spira see i knew none would believe me
David Spira i can send u pictures of me on his back actualy
@Chris Pratt how did you do that?
Filmed in Spain on a closed-off landing field at sunrise in ONE take.
@Lethargica it's not, the trucks are going backwards. Watch the bts
WOW
If there will be a second take we don't see van Damme in the ad he would be in hospital.
@Lethargica They are going backwards so if he falls off he doesn't get run over by the trucks.
@Lethargica watch the bts
the most epic commercial ever , Now i gotta buy Van Damme.
hahahaha
Lmfao
Jean Claude is gay
Do they ship internationally?
@@akirusgauge7094 Jean Claude is gay
crazy this is 10 YEARS OLD! I remember my dad showing this to me when I was a young buck like 4 or 5
The distance between the trucks is known as 1JCVD.
that's clever! hahaAHAHAA!
One Japan CoViD
:)
Hahaha good one
Haha, great!!!
From now on we should measure distances in JCVD.
Or maybe kilo JCVD??
1JCVD = 1.0000 x 1JCVD.
Manager: How precise is the steering?
Engineer: It's so precise that Jean-Claude Van Damme could do a perfect split between two trucks driving in reverse.
Manager: Prove it...
Dude, they used supports on the feet.
Engineer: Hold my beer
@@Luisaggie Driver: Hold my beer.
@@theseboots.3185 Beer: will someone just hold me!!
😂🤜🤛 damn straight , prob exactly how that played out ! Still best commercial ever made!
I almost forgot to watch this today
Volvo liked your comment 😮🎉
@@outros5062 they did 😏
Best comment 😂
What's the name of song😅
@@kristopherbeniwal singer is Enya
Van Damme & Volvo. Two things I never thought would be in the search bar together. And hundreds of times for me. I hope it’s taught in every marketing class.
This isn't an ad. This is divine masterpiece that the advertisement world got to be a part of.
The epic split, the sunset, the perfect truck alignment, the narration, the soundtrack, the clear sky, the shooting angle changing to enhance the sunset.. So many factors that combine together making this a masterpiece! Still SO satisfactory to watch, even 9 years later!
Absolutely!!! 👍👍👍
It is epic because of all the things you state. I haven't seen it in years, but it still generates the same strong emotional response as it did years ago.
Trucks are also driving in reverse
I'm sure you're forgetting something. Lol
Ended a bit abruptly though.
An ad with 104 million views , and still TH-cam recommended 7 years later .
.
.
Yeah I guess it deserves a replay
106*
Lol it got 2 million more in 4 days
And I've never seen a volvo truck 🚚
The moment when an ad makes you go back to look at it, not just skip it, is priceless. For everything else, Mastercard! (and its 2024!)
This makes me want to buy a Volvo truck for no reason...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lol
haha
Me too hahaha
Lmfao!!!!
This is the type of ads we want to see, not that Raid: Shadow Legends crap
Ya that game is shit.. same goes for the ads..😂
Yeah, that's annoying, have you heard about this thing game RAID: Shadow Legends though?
@@silience4095 not only did i heard, i have played this shit..
@@Gokiburi1997 you shouldn't have played that game because their gamestyle is shit. I even see that just on their Google play screenshots , terribly made
Oh fuck shit, thank you! I hate those dumbass ads.
Jean claude van damme doing the splits on two volvo trucks going in reverse to enya is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
I wonder if they have a cruise control in reverse or were the professional drivers THAT professional not to fluctuate speed for jean claude.
@@robosing225 maybe it was not made in reverse...
@@LoSpotItaliano that is what I'm thinking. He started from the splits position and transitioned to upright - but the footage is played in reverse.
I agree.. Plus the sunset at the background
@@TheAjitto87 it's sunrise not sunset (it was filmed someplace in Spain, early in the morning). And it's real, the trucks are going reserve.
Only ad that I didn't skip.
Let's be serious, we often come back here to watch this masterpiece ad.
Oh for sure, I've watched this at least like 10 times already. Such a fantastic job they did.
Following me up you
Me watching it 2 times 1st time 1 year ago and 2nd only now
Of course)
So true. I'll probably tell my kids this was an actual Super human
I watch this once every few months for motivation. Never fails.
I come back every year.
Because you want a Volvo dynamic steering?
@@tylerdurden786 Who doesn't?
@akr010hvt You don't know my struggles
@@ToastedFanArt to get out of bed? That would apply to me quite frankly.
precise driving test...good work drivers
yeah actually they had the very hard part of the job lol
Please don't tell me you believe this real??? He's a stuntman and an actor.
Real my ass
The footage is played in reverse hence why the trucks are reversing and Van Damme's lighting looks studio lit, green screen vfx.
GTFO
@@onsokumaru4663 So many empty brainboxes who believe all that's sold on screen. Did you know you can even buy compost worms online? These are specialised and mutated hahahaha
@@MegaHooper25 Just as real as dragons, fairies, gnomes, slendermen, the invisible superhero God, magical angles, claydoll Adam and the undead. Your brain most likely needs some warmth after all the frost to start think more clearly.
Every time I am feeling lite "down", I take a look on this video. And get boost for several days. It is perfect!
DIRECTOR: "All right, we want to record this shot just as the sun is setting. Nail it, first try, or I'll see you all tomorrow, same time."
И почему я тоже это вижу сейчас
Keep up the good work David. Love your content!
Jesus aint god sir
@Eric Cartman imagine hating on the truth. I'm still waiting for a single verse in ur corrupted Bible where Jesus says he's god. Try again mate 🤣🤣🤣
@Eric Cartman why you hiding brother?
The correct description: This test was set up to demonstrate the stability and precision of Van Damme Claude
Who's van Damme Claude????🤔🤔🤔
@@AAGul That was funny now that you mentioned it
Jean Claude Van Damme
@@fernandosmith5335 hahahaha..!!
I mean damn, those drivers needs some recognition too.
For sure!
I’m not sure if they’re actually going backwards or if this video is played in reverse
Chuck Norris was modest enough not to take any recognition for driving both trucks.
@@williampatrick2971 I thought the same thing, but then I looked at his pants.
As he splits, the bottom of his pants ride above his boot. If it was in reverse, his pants leg would not have fallen back over his boot. This shows that his pants were pulled as he split, confirming the trucks were actually going backwards.
Amazing!
William Patrick this is some Tenet shit
Still the best commercial I ever saw in my life.
