Everyone did that except for tesla though :/ noone would have gone electric if places like Europe didn't have tons of regulation to make it happen. If a car company is making money, why make the switch to electric if people are buying gas cars and government doesn't tax them or provide reasons to not buy gas. That is what Europe did, the cylinder tax, emissions, strict epa requirements, this made car companies switch faster.

So apparently people dont understand how it works in Norway. Cars are extremely expensive. So when you buy a Tesla model x, you pay around 100000$. However, the reason why people buy Ev in Norway is that, if this car was a petrol powered car. It would have cost way more than 200000$. So the government is giving EV car owners a tax relief of 80-100k$. That's the reason

What they don’t mention is that many Norwegians and Europeans in general ride public transportation while we rely heavily on cars because of suburban sprawl. Driving is more a luxury than a necessity in most of Norway with well-connected trains, bus, and ferry routes that we don’t have here. It costs thousands just to earn a license there. You could never do that in America because driving is much more of a necessity with our lack of public transit in most areas and EVs are not cheap. The transit culture is far too different to compare.
Not really, driving is a must in the districts. We don't really have good public transportation system outside of the cities (escpecially oslo) with long distances between people etc. Maybe it's true in the southern part of norway (around oslo) but the further north you go the less public transportation is available to you. I'm from the middle part of the country, and there you're almost entirely dependent on a car, and we don't have that many electric cars either. It was first when i moved to oslo i got to experience a very good (relatively speaking) transportation system. In the west and further north they have ferries but you forget that people often come with cars, motor bikes etc. as people tend to take ferries to reach their destination quicker, as it would take forever if they didn't (again long distances), so i'm not sure it counts entirely (unless you want argue that since they take ferries they reach their destination quicker which means they don't pollute as much or something).
Well... Most of us Norwegians rely on the car because of the geography and the not so well connected public transportation. When I say most, I mean the rest of us, not living in or around the few "major" cities we have. The cities have a decent public transportation system, but that's where it stops for most of the country. Western Norway, where I live, is riddled with fjords, and yes we have a lot of ferries here. But the ferries are mainly used too ferry cars as a part of the road system we have. Trains?

This reminds me when we visited Australia several years ago.... My partner is Norwegian and a natural blonde. We were at the checkout of a local store when the young lady cashier was looking at my partner's hair. I then commented: "Yes she's from Norway". Looking slightly bemused she then said: "Where is Norway?". I then replied: "Scandinavia"....This made her even more confused.

"we want more people to buy EV, so here is a commerical featuring 3 hilariously wealthy funny people, to help us down play the stigma that you need to be wealthy as hell to afford an EV that will get you between cities."
Funny observation, but untrue. EVs are already approaching sticker price parody with ICE cars (and are already cheaper when looking for comparable performance). And don't forget the saving in fuel, maintenance, and the resale value, which makes them cheaper now over the life of the car.
@Ken Adams EV's have a better environmental footprint than other cars. "Mining of Battery Components, the short Lifespan of Batteries and the Costs of Disposal" is just a false meme, not true facts.
@@ryankozak99 What about the Inconvenience of recharging a battery and waiting to recharge? Most people just wanna drive normal cars. If people are so worried about the environment they have bigger problems than cars anyway. Look at all China's factories and all the shit they kick out constantly. Those do way more significant damage to the environment than anything.
@@kingslayer011 Depending on your situation, charging can be a time saver. If you can charge at home, you simply plug in in 10 seconds and walk away, then you always have a "full tank" (preferably 80%) the next morning. You never have to go to the gas station unless you are doing more than 300km that day. Experienced EV owners only charge to 50 or 80% on road trips and this only takes 15 or 20 minutes. Besides, time is money - electricity is cheaper and every minute "wasted" charging your battery is more than a minute at work in savings.
Funny thing is that EV's in Norway cost about the same as they do in most other countries, its just that ICE cars cost about double or more than in most other countries due to the taxes on ICE cars.
How many people realize that e-cars leave a more devastating carbon impact than real cars using gasoline? Or for that matter, that carbon emissions have no devastating impact on the environment at all?
What Will Ferrell doesn't tell you is how heavily subsidized EVs are in Norway by the government. And EVs are somewhat more practical in Norway because of all the hydropower they have.
Not true, really. They just removed things like green tax on them, which is kinda fair to do. And Norway is a really cold country with long roads between things, so it should be the worst country to have a EV in really, if you also listen to the haters of EV. As they claim short range and almost none in cold weather, turns out not really a problem with either.
Hydropower doesn't make a car more practical. It still does the same thing. Hydropower makes an electric 'cleaner'. Meanwhile Norway continues to sell all its nice oil and gas to other nations so it can afford to subsidise electric cars.
@@gs98999 USA can afford it easily, very wealthy country(biggest oil producer in the world). And the home of Tesla 😄 Weird comparing little old Norway of 5 million people to a global superpower.
@@Jack3md Norway has higher GDP per capita and higher average salaries. I believe they also have something called an oil fund that is massive and this is partly why they can give huge incentives on evs. If you could buy an EV for half the cost of a gas comparable car in USA you would see similar ev to gas sales splits here too.
@@gs98999 It is always a matter of time...there are economies of scale and learning in developing EVs which will drive down prices in the near future and make them affordable for everyone, also in the US. At the same time, maintaining the "old" carbon inftarstructure will get more and more expensive. At some point petrol stations will gradually close in remote areas, because they don't produce enough revenue anymore. And concerning subsidies - taking an honest look at the amount of subsidies the petrol industry is still getting today - just shift 50% towards EVs and EV infrastructure and you are done...
It's not about Will Ferrell, its a job and its a good thing to have a healthy sense of competition. Norwegian ads would not come back against Will Ferrrell, if they went 'against' anyone it would be be the american car industry.
Norwegians only buy EVs because of the 100% tax on any other car. The promos always forget that tidbit. I live here and I returned to a diesel. Half the range in winter, virtually no heating and I hate the fucking charging.
There was a Norwegian movie made some years ago in which the villain was a smug douchebag who drove an electric. The hero drove an huge snow plow...I think they were sending a message.

Thanks for sharing this. People in USA are fed stuff like this all the time and unfortunately many people here aren’t very good at critical thinking.
" Norway? You're in Sweden. "
" Damnit! " 😂 Yep, I would be pretty pissed too if I ended up in that dump by mistake.
Well, there was once a Swede driving E6 southbound towards Oslo (our capitol), forgot to turn east back to his beloved Sweden (2 hour drive to the border from that point).
After around 6 hours of driving the wrong way, and towards our south-west coast, he stopped and asked where he was, and realized his "little" mistake. 😁
8 hours of driving back again,, he finally reached the border.
Indeed, funny thing is... it is actually Norway (Kragerø)
We're gonna crush those "LUGERS"
Hahaha. Puns. Get it? because...it's a winter...country.
I'm gonna go.
This is the cutest ad in the world. Will Ferrell, you are ADORABLE.
"This place is adorable. Dammit." 😂
why have 348 people clicked "dislike"? What is wrong with people? Bravo!
OH MY GOSH! What a gem of a commercial.
My favorite 2021 superbowl ad
Best super bowl commercial that I’ve seen in years.

Norway is adorable 🥰 🇳🇴 and we have healthcare for all. 🤘
Cause they are waay bigger than us with less dumbasses who don't take care of their health.

Will Ferrell actually summers in Sweden, so he knows it way better than most Americans
@@mgh62000 directors must not then😉
Looks like Norway actually..
@@jonbahr5684 That's because it is Norway, ironically.
This was hilarious to watch and I’m from Norway 🇳🇴 General Motors you did a great job at this one👏👏🏈🇳🇴

The funny thing is that Awakfina is practicing archery which is what her characters does in Marvel's Shang-chi.
Now this is good marketing
Best SuperBowl ad
Maybe if you hadn't botched the ev-1...
They didn't botch it, it was a great car. They only made it because California forced them to manufacture electric cars, which they lobbied the govt to remove, and then recalled and destroyed all their EV-1s. GM went out of their way to destroy the electronic car in the USA, they were suing CA just 4 weeks ago to raise emissions standards so they could pollute more.
@@ThwartedVillainy Bullshit like this is why I won’t support traditional car makers anymore, and if I remember correctly (from watching who killed the electric car) wasn’t Toyota also apart of the reason for the electric car movements demise?
@@ThwartedVillainy sooooo this is what will happen when were'r forced into E cars. were'r already on our way to full blown socialism so why not have just one choice
@@ThwartedVillainy as if people driving electric cars is gonna change anything. Even if everyone in the US drove electric cars it still wouldn't make a difference because there are way more things causing pollution than just Americans' cars. Look at China and all their factories kicking out all those toxic fumes and polluting the shit out of the air you have to wear a mask there because of it (no I'm not talking about covid they were wearing masks there way before covid because the pollution is so bad) no one tells them to stop, instead they try to force regular people to drive electric cars that are way too expensive for many and inconvenient.
Best commercial!
I'm American and I wish this country was half as awesome as Norway. I want your quality of life Norway!
Then move to Norway. What’s stopping you?
@@Jack3md i dunno, maybe they love US and living there but at the same time can see real problems in their country
@@Jack3md lol you think it’s that easy? Unless you’re going there to study, have some very specialized skill, or you’re married to a Norwegian you’re pretty much shit outta luck my dude. And I’m certainly not moving there only to leave the country every 90 days.
@@mmaclipsuknow I definitely don’t love living in the US lol
You are going to miss out on a lot of school shootings my dude.
Best super bowl commercial
I’m from Norway and I love this 👍🇳🇴
Didn't GM single-handedly kill the California Zero Emissions Mandate, and their own EV1 in favor of THE HUMMER? It MUST be Norway's fault! 🙄
Oh crap, AND I just found it GM teamed up with the Trump administration to SUE CALIFORNIA over their emissions standards! 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, why has anyone ever taken GM seriously about anything. Hiring Will Farrell, Kenan Thompson, and Awkwafina use the only smart decision GM has ever made
Like Roosevelt said: "Look to Norway"
And no one ever did 🤣

@@Magg78 wtf
Watching Shang Chi, I can see why Awkwafina is shooting with a bow in this commercial.
Fun fact: Will Ferrell lives part time in Sweden, since his wife is Swedish..
And that woman was his wife
“Hahaha that commercial cost more money than their whole Ev Software teams salaries for five years.”
Lol. Comment from somewhere else I had to share.
This reminds me when we visited Australia several years ago....
My partner is Norwegian and a natural blonde. We were at the checkout of a local store when the young lady cashier was looking at my partner's hair. I then commented: "Yes she's from Norway". Looking slightly bemused she then said: "Where is Norway?". I then replied: "Scandinavia"....This made her even more confused. I then said: "Arctic circle?"...."North Pole??"..."SANTA CLAUS???"....I finally got a long awaited response by her saying "Aahh yes, I've heard of him!!....IQ3.7
Yes..Norway DOES exist :)
There is almost no Cadillac sellers in Europe... Apparently GM doesn't know 2 things :
1 - We have already a lot of better car companies like Mercedes and BMW (and maybe the recent Citroen counts ?)
2 - Most of the cars sold in Norway are americans, yeah... it's from a small company called TESLA !
Funny commercial - best one out of the three. Love Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway beautiful countries...
You forgot Denmark ... I’ll let it slide this time
Thank you for excluding Denmark! Love, Sweden.
I see what you did there with Estonia ;) Don't forget all your baltic sisters then :D
Sweden...the country that has more covid deaths than Findland, Denmark, Norway and many other countries combined. Not a good place to visit
@@kimkristensen2816 Because the other countries lockdowns worked so great hahaha
"we want more people to buy EV, so here is a commerical featuring 3 hilariously wealthy funny people, to help us down play the stigma that you need to be wealthy as hell to afford an EV that will get you between cities."
Funny observation, but untrue. EVs are already approaching sticker price parody with ICE cars (and are already cheaper when looking for comparable performance). And don't forget the saving in fuel, maintenance, and the resale value, which makes them cheaper now over the life of the car.
@Ken Adams EV's have a better environmental footprint than other cars. "Mining of Battery Components, the short Lifespan of Batteries and the Costs of Disposal" is just a false meme, not true facts.
@@ryankozak99 What about the Inconvenience of recharging a battery and waiting to recharge? Most people just wanna drive normal cars. If people are so worried about the environment they have bigger problems than cars anyway. Look at all China's factories and all the shit they kick out constantly. Those do way more significant damage to the environment than anything.
@@kingslayer011 Depending on your situation, charging can be a time saver. If you can charge at home, you simply plug in in 10 seconds and walk away, then you always have a "full tank" (preferably 80%) the next morning. You never have to go to the gas station unless you are doing more than 300km that day. Experienced EV owners only charge to 50 or 80% on road trips and this only takes 15 or 20 minutes. Besides, time is money - electricity is cheaper and every minute "wasted" charging your battery is more than a minute at work in savings.
Norway´s video response was pretty savage :)
What was that?
Such a strange ending, he really IS in Norway.
Awkwafina turning and screaming at the elk thing sent meeee 😂
uh, reindeer thing
@@jbdbean242 oh 😂 yeah I live in the desert I have no idea. My dad hunts elk so I guessed 🤷🏼♀️
Funny thing is that EV's in Norway cost about the same as they do in most other countries, its just that ICE cars cost about double or more than in most other countries due to the taxes on ICE cars.
The styling of that Cadillac is amazing.
what caddy is that?
@@no1no1655 the LYRIQ that Will Ferrell is driving.
@@no1no1655, LYRIQ, looks like an electric XT5...
How many people realize that e-cars leave a more devastating carbon impact than real cars using gasoline? Or for that matter, that carbon emissions have no devastating impact on the environment at all?
It's a car for total idiots.
still waiting for that pizza.....
Best commercial of the Superbowl
What Will Ferrell doesn't tell you is how heavily subsidized EVs are in Norway by the government. And EVs are somewhat more practical in Norway because of all the hydropower they have.
That's fair, don't subsidize and fight trillion dollar wars for Oil. See if you can afford to maintain an ICE car.
Not true, really. They just removed things like green tax on them, which is kinda fair to do. And Norway is a really cold country with long roads between things, so it should be the worst country to have a EV in really, if you also listen to the haters of EV. As they claim short range and almost none in cold weather, turns out not really a problem with either.
Hydropower doesn't make a car more practical. It still does the same thing. Hydropower makes an electric 'cleaner'. Meanwhile Norway continues to sell all its nice oil and gas to other nations so it can afford to subsidise electric cars.
The globe is still on his hand at the end, and then Tormund finds it in the Audi commercial 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that so many people got offended by this and took it seriously while Americans and Norwegians just laugh their asses off
Yeah it was pretty funny ngl
Humour as the last wall against despair.
A next level dammit, lugers and Will channeling Magatu yet disarmed by the beauty of Noway / Sweden all cut perfectly. Thank you. More of this!
Awkwafina being startled by the deer lol 😂
I love the ad! That is the kind of competition we need between Europe and the US
This video was about Norway though, not Europe.
USA can’t afford it. Norway is a super rich country and its due to its oil industry, ironically that they can afford to subsidize the EVs.
@@gs98999 USA can afford it easily, very wealthy country(biggest oil producer in the world). And the home of Tesla 😄 Weird comparing little old Norway of 5 million people to a global superpower.
@@Jack3md Norway has higher GDP per capita and higher average salaries. I believe they also have something called an oil fund that is massive and this is partly why they can give huge incentives on evs. If you could buy an EV for half the cost of a gas comparable car in USA you would see similar ev to gas sales splits here too.
@@gs98999 It is always a matter of time...there are economies of scale and learning in developing EVs which will drive down prices in the near future and make them affordable for everyone, also in the US. At the same time, maintaining the "old" carbon inftarstructure will get more and more expensive. At some point petrol stations will gradually close in remote areas, because they don't produce enough revenue anymore. And concerning subsidies - taking an honest look at the amount of subsidies the petrol industry is still getting today - just shift 50% towards EVs and EV infrastructure and you are done...
Cute how they expect us to believe they're driving EVs out in the middle of nowhere without a way to recharge them.
I’m surprised John C Riley wasn’t in this. 😆
Would have been better as Ricky Bobby! Shake and bake!
Can't have 2 white dudes together this day and age C'mon now
1:23 Traveling to Antarctica be like…
Will Ferrell in a Dead Pool movie is the first thing I thought of and it seams funny AF
It's not about Will Ferrell, its a job and its a good thing to have a healthy sense of competition. Norwegian ads would not come back against Will Ferrrell, if they went 'against' anyone it would be be the american car industry.
Who else is watching this ad after the super bowl
This is the best commercial ever
Yes, this will make GM and Tesla sell a lot of EVs
I remember the EV1, General Motors.
The funniest part of this ad is that GM's thinks it has an EV program. LMFAO!
"we're gonna crush those lugers" 😂
I just got that. I'm slow.
@@shokojimhollingsworth3940 It's OK. I miss some, too. Glad I could elucidate.
Wow...more humor in that commercial than the last 15 years on SNL combined
As a Flat Earth advocate, I approve of Will punching his arm through the globe and it staying with him the entire commercial. Long Live Flat Earth.
Norwegians only buy EVs because of the 100% tax on any other car. The promos always forget that tidbit. I live here and I returned to a diesel. Half the range in winter, virtually no heating and I hate the fucking charging.
There was a Norwegian movie made some years ago in which the villain was a smug douchebag who drove an electric. The hero drove an huge snow plow...I think they were sending a message.
This is great ad! best part is hes married to a swede . so thats why he hates Norway . as a Norweigan I am honered that he hates us for using to much electric cars =D
Good job GM! Managed 26 by 2021 already, just 4 to go!
Hands down funniest ad I've seen in a while. This could honedtly be a part of a comedic film.
Just seeing this commercial during super bowl lol
Number one selling car brand in Norway is Tesla. From America. In GM’s backyard.
Literally GM's Old factory.
Volkswagen is nr 1
Tesla is nr 6
Because their taxes for ICE cars are crazy
Will Ferrell channelling that chaotic Bob Ross energy.
Americans want good jobs, good health care, a future, not EVs.
Mass transit...
Greatings from Norway!
When the ad says it’s in Sweden, but the adorable place is actually Kragerø, Norway 😂
I just love ads because of who are in the ads
I feel old now if that is really how Will Ferrell looks today.
I loved the UiA university response to this ad😉😜😜
"Knowing Will, he's probably flying private."
Will: *puking over ship's railing*
