Until now I've posted the commercials I've liked...this is an example of a commercial I HATE!!!
I mean WTF? You may or may not remember how these commercials w/the hamsters started. All these hamsters were in their hamster wheels around the city...as if their wheels were "wheels", like cars. Then a Kia cruised up and yea a actual car is better than a hamster wheel, any car but Kia= hammster wheel. Shitty commercial too, but at least it made since. Now it seems they've decided to make these hamsters the new Kia mascot--BAD IDEA!!!
It is a bad commercial for several different reasons:
- Even if you remember the first commercial [and statistically I have to say enough people don't because they don't care about TV that much] this one doesn't equate the car to the hamsters...at all. Some hamster a singing about cars...who cares? And to a lesser note they are now just making hamsters=people.
- "The Choice Is Yours" by Black Sheep...ok, they were trying to make a real statement, and you pose your Kia car against a toaster-a washing machine-two guys running under a cardboard box? STUPID! Sure there a re a few hamster wheels lying around, but not predominately featured...
- ...what is featured? hamsters doing people things. Why? Why why why why why....
This makes me think too much, and hamsters don't make the car cool. "The Choise Is Yours" does not make the car cool. Comparing the car to random appliances does not make the car cool...What are you trying to sell this car as? Youthful? If this is what the youth likes then I'm scared for our youth!
First Commercial
