If you haven’t seen Subaru’s dog commercials yet, you’re in for a treat! These clever ads take everyday human situations and put them in the paws of some incredibly expressive canine actors. The results? Pure comedy gold. This time around, Subaru’s furry stars decide to go on a classic outdoor adventure—camping.
At first, everything seems promising. The dogs excitedly load up their Subaru, packed with all the camping essentials. They hit the road, eager for some fresh air, adventure, and quality time away from the comforts of home. As they pull up to their campsite, tails wagging and spirits high, it looks like this is going to be the perfect getaway.
But as many campers—human and canine alike—quickly learn, the idea of camping and the reality of it are two very different things.
The struggles begin almost immediately. The tent? A complete disaster. These enthusiastic pups might be great at fetching sticks, but assembling a tent is another story entirely. Poles go flying, fabric collapses, and the whole scene turns into a comedy of errors. Meanwhile, their cozy sleeping bags aren’t quite as inviting when set up on the cold, uneven ground.
Then there’s the unexpected wildlife. From strange sounds in the woods to mysterious critters creeping just beyond the campsite, the dogs quickly realize they aren’t alone out there. What started as an exciting adventure now has them side-eyeing the darkness with cautious curiosity—and maybe even a little regret.
And when night falls? Well, that’s when things get really interesting. As they settle in for the evening, their dreams of peaceful, star-lit relaxation quickly fade. The noises grow louder. The wind rustles the trees. The sleeping arrangements turn out to be less than ideal. Instead of a restful night under the stars, the pups find themselves wide-eyed, shivering, and questioning all their life choices.
By morning, the enthusiasm they arrived with has been completely replaced by exhaustion. Their once wagging tails now drag as they groggily pile back into the Subaru, probably wondering if a weekend at home would’ve been the better choice.
Subaru’s ability to capture these all-too-relatable struggles through the lens of their four-legged stars is what makes these commercials so brilliant. Whether you love camping or prefer the comfort of a cozy bed, this hilarious ad will have you laughing—and maybe even rethinking your next outdoor adventure.
Because let’s be honest, sometimes the best part of camping… is finally going home!
