The Honda Civic Type R speeds by in the new Honda YouTube video ad, “Keep Up”

“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes,” Woody Allen used to joke in his stand-up act. “It involves Russia.”

Similarly, we took a speed-reading course and read this wordy new Honda YouTube video in twenty seconds. It involves Honda.

Take a look:

Bit of a blur, no? Here, try the beginner’s course:

The ad, entitled “Keep Up,” challenges viewers to do just that. And once they’ve mastered the 45-second version, they can try their hand at the even faster 20-second version. And once they’ve mastered that, they can read all the great works of Russian literature on their lunch break (maybe).

The video also features some very brief cameo appearances that show off the diversity of the Honda brand, from the robotic ASIMO, to the Honda Civic Type R (looking very good in black), to the HondaJet.

Although it’s not as awesome or inventive as the brilliant video for the aforementioned Type R, overall, these new videos are pretty clever.

To whoever is in charge of Honda videos:
