Will Ferrell and Chrysler have teamed up to support the new film 'Anchorman 2' and the new Dodge Durango with a series of Ron Burgundy Dodge commercials. The commercials star Ferrell in character as Ron Burgundy and the new Durango. Burgundy waxes poetic about everything from the fact that the SUV's glove compartment can hold a ton of gum to how its 360 times faster than a horse.
This isn't the first series of commercials that Ferrell has done. Many will remember the Old Milwaukee beer ads he was in only a few years ago. Chrysler has recently turned to celebrities to help push its cars, but the tone of those past commercials was a lot more serious. The Ron Burgundy Dodge commercials are decidedly lighter and actually pretty funny.
