This partially takes the idea of the rejected Sprint campaign (which was rejected by Sprint in favor of another S&K creation where Paul is confused by Sprint and T-Mobile's potential merger) and mixes it with another hated ad campaign: Chevy's "Real People, Not Actors" campaign.

This would have also been a Salovaara & Kukkonen Group creation created after Chevy appointed S&K to create a new campaign for them.

This campaign would be called "Goodbye Real People" (or as stated in the ads "We're onto getting rid of the real people") and would show parodies of the previous "Real People, Not Actors" campaign and "bloopers" from the aforementioned campaign.

This would be an example of the TVTropes tropes known as Our Product Sucks and Self-Deprecation.
 * Ad #1: Purporting to be a blooper from one of the "I switched to Chevy" ads, it starts with a "family" who "switched" from Subaru to Chevy with a new Camaro parked out front... only for the "mother" to accidentally hit her garage door opener to reveal a Subaru Forrester. A director from offscreen yells "Cut!" and the actors scamper.
 * Ad #2: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May (carry-over from the rejected Sprint campaign) are invited to participate in an ad, and quickly call out Potsch Boyd for some of the lies he's spouting, ending with Jeremy saying "And who names their kid Potsch? That's like calling your child Gordon, or Ernest, or Syphilis!" Also, the obligatory "Real People, Not Actors" screen has Jeremy interrupt it's supposed-to-brief screentime to write "(Maybe)" under "Real People".
 * Ad #3: A crossover with Geico's ads where the Gecko is part of a Chevy focus group. Potsch gets so annoyed by the Gecko's plugging for Geico's services that he hops in a Ford truck that's on set for part of the "test" and leaves, saying "I don't care if I'm only allowed to drive Chevy vehicles, I'm outta here!" in the process.
 * Ad #4: The Chevy monster truck Grave Digger (the 36th in the fleet to be exact) is featured in an ad plugging Monster Jam. The losing trucks are a GMC and a Ford, and Grave Digger crushes both of them... only to crush the Chevy truck as well. Potsch proceeds to have a "Oh crap" look on his face.
 * Ad #5: Potsch is decrying old technology to promote Chevy's highly-advanced features in their vehicles compared to other brands and uses VHS as an example of obsolete technology... only to mistake a Betamax tape for a VHS. Hilarity ensues as he gets frustrated with the smaller video cassette.
 * Ad #6: Potsch is late to a "Real People, Not Actors" ad. Cue confused "real people" for half the ad and they're on the brink of leaving as he shows up... just as the ad ends. His only line in the ad is "Hi! Welc-"
 * Ad #7: Potsch organizes a race between three brands of truck: a Chevy Silverado, a Toyota Tundra, and a Ford F-150. The Toyota wins the race and we see some of the film crew struggling to alter the footage to make it seem like the Chevy won. The "Real People, Not Actors" screen reads "Real Race, Not Staged for the Cameras" this time round.
 * Ad #8: An animated advert featuring the finding a Silverado being driven by the "stompers". They think it's god-awful as opposed to seeing your favorite childhood toads shilling for a pompous automotive brand.
 * Ad #9: Several celebrities love Chevy's trucks and cars while the other celebrities featured think they suck.
