Most Vespas in a single commercial... and it's not a Vespa commercial - TheScooterScoop

Nope… It’s an Adidas commercial. A long one too. Enjoy!
Oh and while you’re at it… What other scooters besides Vespas do you see in there?

That is the greatest ad ever. If you’re a soccer AND scooter fan there are about a hundred subtle in-jokes: Note the German players are riding german scooters (If the resolution was better, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spaniards were on Motovespas and the French on AMCAs, if the resolution was better), the music (“Get a Bloomin’ Move On” by Quincy Jones) is from the original “The Italian Job,” about a heist exploiting the traffic jam during an Italy-England match in Milan. The shots of Beckham and the other british players merging into traffic with the French is right out of the “road to Brighton” scene in Quadrophenia. And you can never have enough footage of Oliver Kahn grimacing. That thing must have cost so much, and getting all those great players together must have been a logistical nightmare. Totally sweet, it was the best thing about Euro2004

What an awesome commercial. Reminds me of the days in Southern California going to SuperScoot 1986. Would have loved to see them film this commercial.
