Elvis in Television Commercials

Elvis' astounding legacy is never ending and his impact is reflected in the fact that Elvis is so often used in today's  Television commercials. The recent resurgence started with the swinging Audi Elvis and was kicked into this new millennium by the Nike World Cup soccer advert - which then helped Elvis hit Number One in the charts. One of the very best was the recent BBC Radio 2 advert with Elvis introducing his band of Superstars. As suggested by John Pietz, EIN presents sixteen TV adverts featuring Elvis. With special thanks to John Pietz.

Directed by the talented Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame (another Elvis connection!)
Made for the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan.
Introduced a new generation to 'A Little Less Conversation'.

Great work also featuring James Brown and Willie Nelson.

Another smart and funny advert featuring a man dressed like Elvis watching TV reports on sightings of Elvis!
"The King Is Alive" but just relaxing! - A great idea.

Honda Motors - From: HondaRPA

The commercial even suggested a possible new remix release.

Clever use of subliminal Elvis and a look-alike.
