Sometimes there are commercials that have pitches based on some scientific thing.

Here is one I like about the car's stability based on the chicken's (well known) ability to keep its head stable when its body moves in some way. (Probably based on both visual and proprioception of its body position in space (this in turn would be based on body orientation (inner ear sensor) and the way the body's parts are arrayed with respect to each other (lots of body position sensors).)

You move a chicken, its head has a strong tendency to maintain a stable visual point of view.

I wonder if they had a Focus Group to choose between a chicken and an owl to represent Mercedes...

Chickens would be easier and cheaper subjects in many ways.
