Unintentionally Funny Prius ad introduces the concept of the Prius C
« on: March 20, 2012, 10:09:46 AM »
Apparently, when  your main customers are a bunch of adults that want the government to create a Country-wide kindergarten, where everyone can visit the school nurse, everyone gets a cookie, no one gets to say "mean things" ( about them) , and your life decisions have no more consequence than when you are playing a board game, you are best off marketing to them as children.

Toyota Prius c: Welcome to the Game of Life with Prius c

But no, that wasn't enough. They doubled down.

Toyota Prius c commercial: Malti-Poo & Sushi

and then felt it was required to explain how to buy a car.

Toyota Prius c: Anatomy of a Dealership

Toyota Prius c: Test-Drive

Toyota Prius c: The Forms at a Dealership

And then you are now ready for the advanced stuff.  Science with Bill Nye. No. Really.

Toyota Prius c: Smart Key System®

Toyota Prius c: Hybrid Synergy Drive

Toyota Prius c: Touch Tracer Display

Toyota Prius c: Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

UPDATE: Okay, its probably intentionally funny. However, its probably pretty unfunny to potential Prius buyers.  
Maybe the C denotes the children's version?

Notice in the first video how the "Game of Life" is played entirely within a 4 block radius.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

I saw the Life ad last night and my reaction was "that will sell cars?"  But then I'm not the target market.

The people in the ads are supposed to be cool and hip --I guess-- they come off as not being able to  think.
