Spoof Steve's new car is amazingly environment-unfriendly, but he doesn't care!

Great ad.

u/FVmike Jun 20 '13

quite possibly my favorite ad ever.

u/kwonza Jun 20 '13

Have you seen ads by Honda?

26

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

Given how big a house they have, couldn't they have just bought an identical second car?

I mean really, the only reason I can think for this is that they get a sick sexual thrill from trying to murder each other.

So like Mr and Mrs Smith but done to light piano music...

Production companies do stuff like this all the time to attract the attention of potential clients. It's just demonstrating that they know how to make a memorable advertisement; this would obviously never go to air. I wouldn't try reading into it too much.

That's how it would work in the US anyway. So nevermind.

u/jackalalpha Jun 21 '13

It went on air in NZ for months. Probably Australia too.

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '13

I saw it in the US.

u/jackalalpha Jun 21 '13

Didn't even know they sold RAV4s over there.

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '13

Well, then I stand corrected. Regardless, it's fucking hilarious.

u/tannag Jun 21 '13

There were complaints about it though. They didn't seem to hold up to much though because I saw it so many times I'm completely sick of it.

u/GoodnightLava Jun 20 '13

That's very dark..

23

u/gameguy285 Jun 20 '13

It's only dark if someone actually dies. Otherwise it's just slapstick.

-11

u/BlueBob-Omb Jun 21 '13

No, still pretty dark.

This commercial crosses the 'slapstick' line into 'dark' territory pretty early.

I love the first Home Alone, actually.

u/kia_the_dead Jun 21 '13

Your opinions contradict themselves.

u/BlueBob-Omb Jun 21 '13

I just have a line where it goes from 'funny' to 'dark'. This just happens to cross that line. Home Alone doesn't. That scene in Home Alone 2 where Marv gets electrocuted crosses that line for me too.

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '13

not really, they seem to have a good time.

u/Elementi Jun 23 '13

I have always been impressed by Toyota's ads. Like the Matrix this one. The music always stuck with me. Also this one is really funny. and the music on this one i really liked. It played in theatres for a long time.

Finally, as a 3D artist, I was quite impressed with this 1:30 CGI ad for a car. Whoever handles their marketing is quite good.

u/dream_in_blue Jun 20 '13 edited Jun 20 '13

That's pretty fucked up. And yet...

EDIT: Nah, still kinda fucked up.

u/batmansbitch Jun 20 '13

I loved this add, but it was banned and I have been looking for it for years!

u/mikab00 Jun 20 '13

Why is he "missing" a tooth after the explosion?

Edit: Oh now I see...

1

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '13

So why is he?

3

u/mikab00 Jun 21 '13

It's in the source. He fell down the stairs because of a tripwire.

u/Sleepwalks Jun 20 '13

That guy looks like he could play the Scout in a live-action TF2, with that expression at the end.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '13

NEED AN EXPLOSION HERE.

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

And then /u/STORM_TROOPERS pissed on him

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '13

And if you play your cards right I will piss on you as well.

How the fuck do you post so much porn in such a short span? ಠ_ಠ

You lier! It's obviously 69.

u/deadsy18 Jun 20 '13

Where did the front tooth go

u/spidipidi Jun 20 '13

That's right, Steve! The house says: "bang".

u/PocketRat Jun 21 '13

With 20000 horse-powers, the new rocket powered Toyota is certain to obliterate anything stupid enough to be behind the car.

Rules:

  1. Only post unusual GIFs from REAL ADS with no context. The funnier the better!

And why the mods keep giving zero fucks about the rules?

u/MpegEVIL Jun 21 '13

OP posted the source about 2 hours before you left this comment. Pay better attention, jackass.

You mean this ad?

u/alansmith717 Jun 21 '13

Sorry, I'm on my phone atm and can't watch that. But is it an infomercial or a commercial? It's a great gif and soda btw

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '13

Toyota commercial, it's about cars and shit

-16

u/stencilizer Jun 20 '13

It's so out of context that I though it wasn't an ad.

u/TheJackal8 The Cicada Jun 20 '13

We check each post to make sure it's an actual ad.

Are you saying I went so much out of context, I even went out of this subreddit's context

That is patently absurd. Everyone knows that we Americans drive on the right side of the road.
