# Liar Liar Car Commercials The Land Rover LR4 Pathological Liar Video Makes Living a Lie Funny By Michael Hines | Published 2011-05-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/land-rover-lr4-pathological-liar References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/05/05/video-land-rover-lr4-pathological-liar-commercial/) & [landrover](http://www.landrover.com/) I can't remember the last time I actually laughed out loud during a [car commercial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-different-out-here) until I saw the Land Rover LR4 Pathological Liar commercial. The Land Rover LR4 Pathological Liar commercial is cleverly written and focuses on a pathological liar breaking the truth to his girlfriend. Somehow Land Rover has made living a lie look really funny. I love the direction Land Rover took here. With a slogan of "You'll Feel Safe Inside," Land Rover could have very well created a bland and boring commercial showing how the LR4 will keep you safe. Instead, they went the comedic route and boy, am I sure glad they did. Check out the commercial for yourself here. You'll love it, and no, I'm not lying. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Comedic Marketing:** Brands, especially in the automotive industry, can create more engaging marketing campaigns by incorporating humor and telling stories that resonate with their audience. - **Emotional Storytelling:** Brands can use emotional storytelling to connect with their audience and create more memorable advertising campaigns. - **Authenticity in Marketing:** Marketing campaigns that rely on humor or storytelling need to be authentic and align with the brand's values and messaging to create a meaningful connection with the audience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Automotive companies can leverage comedic and emotional storytelling to create memorable advertising campaigns and differentiate their brand. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies can help clients develop innovative campaigns that use humor or emotional storytelling to create a strong connection with their target audience. - **Media and Entertainment:** Media and entertainment companies can use storytelling and humor to engage their audiences in advertising campaigns and create a more personalized experience for viewers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Humorous Automotive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-have-you-been.md) - [Auto-Centric Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care.md) - [Cheeky Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-got-money.md) - [Influencer-Starring Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-2.md) - [Empowering Car Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carmax1.md) - [Adventure-Inspired Auto Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-what-youre-made-of.md) - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Wintry Automobile Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/december-to-remember-campaign.md) - [Female Space Exploration Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-astronaut.md)
