This is just sad.. not even close to funny. Funny might have been a punch line here or there but its a whole minute of using and abusing a woman as a sex object and nothing more. Kind of like those commercials of a bunch of naked people and then they come up selling cereal or some other totally unrelated product. Glad I never have bought a Toyota. Of course, Honda might release an equally offensive commercial tomorrow becuase nothing is sacred anymore. If liberalism = hedonism then you can have it. I dont want to be anywhere near it.

AMEN Roger
2nd that roger. And they wonder why europe is declineing.
If this was played in the US market they would insist that the guy be Black.
yuck… who would want to drive a japanese car anyhow?
Where are the “Incestual Overtones?” Is this girls date a relative?
What’s next Euro Peons?
A Pedophilia Ad? An older man coming to pick-up a young boy.? That’d be a hoot.
Another reason you should fall on the ground and kiss the dirt of this once fine country.
What? No Ga y version?
BTW, I’d bet a few bucks that Jennifer is not still a virgin.
I’d like to take Jennifer for a rough ride in my Camaro with no protection! Japanese cars are wimpy, generic, lame. Practical and economical are not high on my car priority list (typical American? I wish I still were).
LOL. This is a GREAT commercial. It’s FUNNY !!! As Robert Plant used to say , ” Does anyone remember laughter ?” Get a sense of humour , Neo Cons. Shuch stuffed shirts.
Well, aside from it being a poor advert, it’s NOT European… those are Australian or New Zealand Accents.
What is incestuous about this add. It is tacky but I don’t get the incestuous part unless they are brother and sister and then that would be way off base. I am an American that lives in Europe and can tell you that I have seen much worse back home.
Brad, you went to a public school? Just a guess.
That plays in England, meanwhile, we have to edit out the “The Hernandez..ez..ez” comment in an Orbitz ad for fear of it being racist because the couple just happen to be Spanish.
We’re doomed.
A great addition to it, right after the kid says “I’ve got a Yaris”, the father could then turn and look at the boy and say “It’s not very big though, is it?”
The “incestuous overtones” are when the father gets excited about the “car” (i.e. his daughter) being able to take a pounding in any direction, excited over the boy having her in the back by 11, and his jumping up at the end because the car (i.e. his daughter) is getting a good ride from this boy. What would make it even more gross is if the father asked to test drive it first, or take a ride in it sometime. Is society THIS immature that this passes as humor? Why not just show a picture of the car with a kid saying, “poo poo, pee pee! penis, vagina [giggle, giggle].” The mark of poor comedy and comedians (and other entertainers) is when they have to resort to the gratuitous use of swearing and sex – it just shows a lack of creativity, and contempt for the intelligence of the audience. Unfortunately, too many people never got over “poo poo, pee pee” humor after kindergarden, and we are a culture full of grown up children. Thanks libs for dumbing down society! But, where is the lib outrage over depicting a young woman literally as a sex object?
Followup commercial:
Girl: where did these children in the back seat come from?
Boy: Oops, I guess we should have worn a seat belt.
Girl: Well, I don’t want them, let’s dump them on the side of the road.
Boy: No, I think I’d like to keep them, they’re my passengers too
Girl: Too bad, this is my car now- get out! I’ll have someone else remove them before my dad finds out.
[The audience laughs at the zany abortion overtones]
Followup commercial #2:
Father sees boy pull in with crashed car: “OMG what happened, my car is ruined”
Boy: Sorry sir, but I’ve crashed a lot of cars; here’s the keys, you can have it now.
Father: It’s dented, has rust all over it, smashed windows, and leaks fluid.
Boy: Oh well, you were the one excited about me driving it, here ya go (idiot!).
[Another boy walks up to the house]
Boy#2: Sir, I don’t care that the car is ruined on the outside and the interior, I love this car and will spend my life trying to repair the damage if it’s o.k. with you
Father: I love this car too, I just wish I never let that other boy near it.
Boy#2: Sir, I will repair it at no cost to you, treat it respectfully, and most importantly fix the interior.
[Crying father hands the keys to boy#2 who then cares for the car for the rest of his life, it becomes a classic, and everyone at the car shows admires how well it has been restored through tender care and love over the years]
Followup commercial #3
Boy pulls up to a party where a bunch of drunk frat boys are hanging out. They see the new car, beat up the boy, and each takes a turn driving it around until its totaled and scrapped in a dump. The father visits the dump every day and cries because the car is dead.
[audience laughs at the clever rape overtones]

So, a father and the daughter’s boyfriend discussing sexual relations with the father’s daughter (thru innuendo) doesn’t seem incestuous to you?
Houston….we’ve found the problem.
At least sensible minds prevailed and the ad was pulled. Thank goodness brad, B Holland and mary mccracken weren’t making the decision to run the ad or not.
mary mccracken: Ah, I don’t think you have sweetie. Nice try though.
Incestuous? I guess I missed something.
It’s not any worse than prime time TV. I actually thought it was funny.
OMG! OMG! OMG!!!! They made a joke about the “S” word!!!! Drink the KOOLAID all is lost!!
mha, you say “i missed something” and yet you know they were talking about sex? did you notice the father getting excited about the boy having sex with his daughter? The joke was in poor taste as it was not just run of the mill “sexual innuendo.” Something tells me you don’t have a daughter. If you do, do you get excited at the prospect of her having sex? (honestly, I’m afraid of your answer) … So, no, it’s not the “S” word but the “D” word (daughter) that has people rightfully disgusted. And btw: the “koolaid” reference makes no sense, as this is not a discussion about political deception to harm blind followers.

Europeans like to call Americans, “Puritanical.”
After seeing this commercial, and too many like it from Europe, I’ll take Puritanism over Godless Hedonism any day.
