Vin Diesel’s Ridiculous Advertisements, Complete Chronicle

Vin Diesel is an action star, occasional musician, and longtime ad man who uses the term "family" almost as much as Steve Harvey. Strangely, he has never advertised for the fossil fuel or designer Italian clothing industries. However, he has appeared in a number of Dodge commercials, which claim that their vehicles are ideal for both picking up children from soccer practice and dodging federal agents in a maze of shipping containers.In a 2020 commercial for a French scooter business, he also did a strange nightclub crooner performance while speeding through the streets of France. This is probably because he has been pleading with the Fast & Furious creators for years to allow Dom Toretto channel his inner Michael Buble.Vin Diesel promoted the new range of Street Sharks items at a toy expo in 1995 while sporting a leather vest and no shirt for some reason. However, these instances were far from the only times that Vin Diesel engaged in product promotion. Street Sharks is, of course, the 1990s animated series about mutant shark-men who fight crime while still donning pants, so as not to scare youngsters in America with the sight of cartoon shark dongs every Saturday morning.And even before that, Vin Diesel took part in the educational videotape "How To Breakdance," which, based on the recently-resurfaced YouTube footage, needs to be painstakingly restored before being sent to all of the nation's schools.Of course, he appeared in a Fast & Furious-focused PSA praising the influence of "da flicks" more recently.Which, of course, was widely ridiculed and harshly mocked but was sadly quickly eclipsed by that dreadful Nicole Kidman AMC advertisement.
