Subaru’s beloved Barkley family is back on the road, and this time, their adventure takes them to a gas station for a much-needed break. If you’ve ever seen their adorable dog-themed commercials, you know they never fail to deliver the perfect mix of humor and heartwarming moments. Their latest installment, “Gas Station,” is no exception—showcasing the relatable moments of a classic family road trip, but with a hilarious canine twist.
As their Subaru pulls into the station, the Barkleys go into full pit-stop mode. The parents—ever responsible—handle the essentials. One dog dutifully takes on the task of refueling the car, ensuring their journey can continue smoothly. Another pup heads inside, drawn by the irresistible temptation of a well-earned road trip snack. Whether it’s a tasty treat or just the thrill of exploring the store, every road-tripping passenger (human or canine) knows that a pit stop isn’t complete without grabbing something extra.
Meanwhile, other members of the Barkley family have their own priorities. A quick visit to the restroom is a must before getting back on the road—because, let’s be honest, that’s a road trip essential for any traveler. The humor in this moment is spot-on, as the dogs go through the motions of freshening up, making it impossible not to chuckle at how relatable their behavior is to any family trip.
With everything taken care of, the Barkleys regroup, hop back into their Subaru, and buckle up—because safety first, of course! With tails wagging and ears perked up, they’re ready to hit the road once again, continuing their adventure with the same enthusiasm and joy that makes them so beloved.
Subaru has perfected the art of blending humor, charm, and pure relatability with these commercials. By using dogs to mirror the little moments we all experience while traveling, they create something that resonates with audiences of all kinds—whether you’re a dog lover, a road trip enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates a clever, well-crafted ad.
With their signature tagline, “Dog Tested. Dog Approved.” Subaru once again reminds us why these commercials are such a delight. The Barkleys aren’t just a fictional dog family—they’ve become the lovable, four-legged embodiment of what makes road trips fun, chaotic, and full of memories.
So, where will the Barkleys go next? Wherever it is, one thing is certain—it’s going to be an adventure worth watching!
