How Do You Sell Pickup Trucks In Asia? Toyota Says 'Insane Dance Video'
How Do You Sell Pickup Trucks In Asia? Toyota Says 'Insane Dance Video'-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:24

In Mother 'Murica, you sell pickup trucks with Bob Seger. The King Ranch. Floor-spittin' horse-towing Marlboro-Man shit. Down east they do it a little different; Toyota's just commissioned their own Gangnam Style-style dance number to sell their Hilux pickup and it is batshit insane.

Ad agency Dentsu Aegis cooked up this "dance-ver-tisement" (like that? AdWeek went with adver-dance-ment) with the simple tagline:

"Strange things happen when nature calls in the jungle."

Basically a pack of business men are tooling around the woods in office attire doing the Night At The Roxbury head-dance, collectively decide to urinate, and when they apparently cross the streams on a delightfully cheesy fake gorilla's head, group-dance ensues.

It's actually pretty funny, and if you've been dying for a replacement to What Does The Fox Say since that burned a hole in your headphones you just might dance into Toyota's marketing trap and find yourself "."

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Toyota wants you to film yourself Wakudoki'ing, send them the video and hashtag the shit out of it for a chance to WiN a TrIp To ToKyo!

I actually love this beat, but I have multiple NSYNC CDs in my car's changer so don't take my word for it.

Special thanks to Patrick George for sending me this at who cited who apparently picked it up off .

The Chinese Ford Raptor Website Is Profound And Crazy At The Same Time
For every car that exists, there’s a shotgun blast of marketing hype to make it sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread. When you try to chuck that nonsense across cultures and languages with an instrument as imprecise as Google Translate, hilarity ensues. Actually, you might call it poetry,...

Here's What The New 2018 Ford Expedition Looks Like
Ford’s new, fourth-generation Expedition is going to be made of boron steel and aluminum, built on a modified half-ton F150 chassis, and, according to these , will look like this. Looks like our predictions that the new were completely, utterly wrong. To be honest, I’m happy about that. I think...

The Dodge Durango SRT Isn't Exactly ‘America’s Most Powerful Three-Row SUV'
Yesterday, the world saw for the first time the totally insane , a 475-horsepower behemoth that does wicked all-wheel drive burnouts. One claim I saw in the press release, though, needs to be cleared up, because it’s a classic example of intricate word-choice used by marketers. Let’s get straight to...

The Awesome Off-Roading 2017 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Will Start At $40,995
The, an off-road version of the brand’s standard mid-size truck (with an available diesel!), just got a price tag, and it ain’t cheap. But it doesn’t have a ton of competition in this segment. The ZR2 was the last year, coming with fancy “Multimatic” shocks, a two-inch lift over the...

The Original Toyota Land Cruiser Had A Big Brother And It Looks Amazing Restomoded
The original you know as a rugged adventure icon is called the FJ40, or “Shorty Forty” because of its relatively short wheelbase. Since then there have been many Cruiser variants over the years, but the 40’s big brother the FJ45 is one of the coolest and least-appreciated. This restored and...
