Further proving that the Toyota is no car manufacturer, but a weapons compnay in disguise...

i think it woulda been awesome if the dude hopped in the tacoma at the end and drove it.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

That would only work if he shouted GNARLY DUDE then jumped in. Or maybe I just like to type the word gnarly. Either way I think it would complete the comercial.

Post by **HongKongChick** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

wow!! that's awesome!!!! and that truck doesnt even look damaged!!??

girlfriend > truck

Skyline/Silvia > girlfriend

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

Yeah...ummm, you guys see where they switch BACK to the girlfriend while the truck is tumbling? It's at that point that they substitute in a nice truck that is somehow lifted off it's passenger side wheels. The second they switch the camera back to the truck, I'm assuming they drop it onto all 4 wheels so it gets the nice bounce effect. However, it is still not the same truck

They switched it, now dont go thinking a Tacoma could do that.

wow! they moved that truck in there fast!

Post by **HongKongChick** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

you sure? then they really did it very very very very very fast!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was like a split second....

Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

It's part of a series of commercials they're running. Have you seen the one where the guy parks his truck inside the track at a Monster Truck rally? The monster truck flips over backwards when it tries to drive over the Tacoma (same burgundy one).

Here it is.

Or the tumbling part could have been CGI, or it could have been two scenes spliced together.

Post by **HongKongChick** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

yea that's what i was thinking...i mean it's just humanly impossible to do in a second!!

Post by **MainEvent212** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

Totally unrelated, but have you seen the Dodge "Urinal SUV" ad?

It's listed at #9 in the link below.

I know

it was a joke, thats why I had the

face after it, I guess the sarcasm didn't translate across the internet though...

Post by **Rex** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

Sorry. I've been called "King Sarc"(asm) myself, but you're right it doesn't always come across in writing.

Post by **Nathan** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

It's all good

BadMojo, that video was great! The pillowfight ones on the same page weren't bad either!

Website · Post by **TurboKA37** » Wed Jan 21, 2004 9:26 am

yea, i was being sarcastic also when i said how fast they most of been to move that truck in there in a split second. i was thinking they molded two videos together

Oooo...I missed that! Pillowfight...

Dodge seems to be aiming for the lowest common denominator with their advertising recently. Still, I liked it. Not sure what that says about me!
