I don't know how many people have seen the footage that I posted to Cryptomundo. I thought that I would link it here.

It happened twice?

Betcha fifty bucks it's a viral ad.

Actually - this footage I guess never made it into the commercial -- its kinda kewl actually.. Fake Im sure - but none the less, very kewl. Made me jump the first time I saw it -- LMAO... but I am pretty jumpy. lmao.

Funny how the "bf" ducks under the limb during the second part of the commercial and seems to stop and watch the benz travel down the road. Maybe he just has an eye for a cool car?

This movie is absolutely counterfeit...

But kind of cool nonetheless....

It's two different takes. In the second take, as said before - watch the car not the figure, the second take, the car is indeed sliding all over the road- not so in the first take.

Unlikely they got our visitor twice.

hahaha That cracked me up.

Definitely amusing and worth a look regardless of it's origin.

Definitely fake, but really funny. Nice find!

I don't think it's fake as in someone pulling a hoax. I think where seeing the driving coordinator for the comercial. Although it is possible that Mercedes was trying to film a "fun" comercial al a Kokanee beer.

Weird suggestion, but does anyone suppose they intentionally "hoaxed" it as part of the sales pitch, ie "the new Mercedes can go ANYWHERE man can't go", as a bigfoot is crossing the road in the background???

Hoaxed by Mercedes Benz? I don't know. Hoaxed? Definitely. The footage is definitely two separate takes, as you can tell by watching the right tires of the vehicle.

According to the email it was attached to, the "creature" wasn't even noticed until after the shoot. The cameraman definitely noticed the creature; in the second clip he raised the camera to view the creature over the top of the car.

I'll admit though, it's a way-cool clip.

Wait , where is the expert advice from the SRI, they should be able to put this video to rest with their standards of research.

Mercedes is way into "exotic" stuff for their advertisements. They sent their Suburbans to the Gobi Desert with the American Museum of Natural History Dino expeditions in 2001 to get some cool, "rugged" p.r.
Hoaxing a sighting just for fun and to add some mystique to their product doesn't seem too out of the ordinary for them.

Well, considering that in the second take we can see a clear shot of "it's" face as it looks at the vehicle right when stepping into the roadway...BF either got real shrimpy, has an albino face, or maybe the crew member were actually seeing is in reality D.B. Cooper, so the vid may really be a valuable clue to an unsolved mystery.
