I've done a mini-study of disgusting car ads, and there is one on each TV channel every 120 seconds or less.
I considered the Ford ad on the spanish channel, where I enjoy friday night "Boxeo Tecate", where Ford's "ad hero"
ignores everything, including a spaceship hijacking his family over the love affair with his new Ford shoebox.
BUT NO...
my final nominee in the disgusting car ad has come down to a tie between the
Toyota RAV 4 where the same nasally yoyo that narrates MAX-X skiboarders
flying down Mt Everest (and another long list of Darwin award winners of
all types, shooting themselves out of canons, etc) is regaling the public
with the bountiful benefits of the RAV 4 YECHHHHH !
PEEEEEEE YUUUUUUUU, I can't take another second of "Surfer Joe"
or whatever his name is.
AND
The Toyota Tundra ad provides an interesting, but also disgusting, contrast
to the nasally surfer joe ad, with the Virile and Macho basso voice of some
guy that eats broken glass and roofing nails for breakfast.
Hmmm, all the pickup truck ads seem to use that guy to sell their "product"
to their adoring public. Grrrrrr, He's so tough!
