Re: If "Real People" Commercials Were Real Life
That was brilliant.
I've never understood which demographic these ads are supposed to target. I realize that's probably because the answer to that question is "not me" but are there really people out there who are influenceable by this stuff? "Oh man, that average-looking guy on TV said he thinks that car is interesting, maybe I should check it out!" Is that really how peoples' brains work? Good Lord, no wonder there aren't any interesting cars anymore.

Like that broad in the old Camry commercial that exclaimed it was grounded to the ground.
I like old commercials that had stats, facts, and the occasional clip of taking the vehicle off a jump, or off-roading, or filling it with hamsters that could drive.

PHSYICALLY
PAINFUL
to watch.
I hope the person responsible for those ads never works in marketing again.
Thanks a ton for reminding me they exist.

That commercial makes me NOT want to buy a Toyota. "It's got stuff guys like, um the rims, sleekness, and um... Yeah that's all I got so I'll mention two more things she likes. Maybe she'll give me back my testicles if I do."
