Things may have seemed grim in South Africa in 1984, what with the whole apartheid/repression thing and all. But there was one bright spot for beleaguered South Africans: the brand-new Toyota Corolla. The '84 was just so good that it made ordinary office workers don gray-and-yellow shellsuits and perform perhaps the worst robot dancing ever done before a camera. Plenty of brain-damaging surreal details (e.g., gigantic fast-food items protruding from bouncing cars) in this one, folks; do not operate heavy machinery after watching. – Murilee Martin
