J’vous emmene?
It’s got nothing on Il fait beau dans l’métro, but this 1985 TV spot certainly ranks up there in the pantheon of kitschy transit ads. What kind of bugs me about it is that the metro is taking this very fashionable couple from their living room to a restaurant and a swimming pool, yet they choose to get off and hop on a bus driven by some creepy moustachioed uncle with a twangy accent. What gives?

1985 ?
J’aurais plutôt dit 1978 !
D’habitude, c’est vous (ou vos voisins) qui avez 10 ans d’avance :)
Mais le plus kitsch, n’est-ce pas la chanson ?
