My childhood is already ruined by the realization that playing with toy cars didn't turn me into a D1 legend. But hey, I at least know a lot about Dragon Ball Z and a bit about Sailor Moon so that I can present to you this comedic set from Ford.
They are called Overdubs, and as the name suggests, the makers of these videos just took popular cartoon scenes that we (presumably) all remember and added Ford products in there.
Let's get Sailor Moon out of the way. Usagi is well known for gazing at the stars and sighing a lot while thinking of Tuxedo Mask. Chicks dig a guy with a big top hat, I tell you. But both her and Luna the magical cat are made to talk about the new Ford Fusion, and how the mid-life updates have made it "the most stylish car I've ever seen."
And then, we have the scenes from Dragon Ball Z. My favorite is how they too the first fusion of Goten and Trunks into Gotenks, and made it into a promo for the Fusion sedan... obviously.
Everybody is gathered on top of Kami's Floating Island in the sky, trying to figure out how to defeat Majin Boo. The fusion between the two little Saiyans is supposed to produce the strongest warrior there is. They get absorbed, and Goku has to eventually save the say, but that's not the point.
What is the point? That everybody knows what the fusion dance looks like and recognize the iconic dragon. You gather all the balls, summon the dragon and he grants you your wishes, including bringing the dead back to life - that's kind of how Dragon Ball started.
But this is Polunga, the bigger dragon on Planet Namek. He works a lot differently than Shenron on earth, so the Z-fighters have an entire episode of sitting around, having an inter-planetary discussion about who to bring back.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
