'If Car Commercials Were Honest' Is Hilarious And Depressing
'If Car Commercials Were Honest' Is Hilarious And Depressing-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:40

Cracked has taken the time to dump on car dealers and basically the entire process of buying a new car because, hey, it kinda sucks. Here’s what your local dealer’s commercials might look like if they were “honest,” had better lighting, and Steve Buscemi’s stunt double(?) as a spokesman.

It’s a “funny because it’s true” kind of thing, and “sad because... it’s true.” Though I’m sure a handful of you will rise to the defense of our nation’s illustrious car dealerships. Where else would we go to ?

Will they be able to sneak a penis joke in there? Stick through to 02:40 to find out! Also, yes. They will.

I Tried Every Trick For Mounting Tubeless Tires Except For One
Of course, the one I didn’t try was “do things right the first time.” Still, with at least three and a half correct elements out of five, I got some not-quite tubeless tires to mount and hold air. This process goes back a few months when I decided that...
