Jalopnik
Hide your children, let your pets outside, the advertisers have finally stumbled upon a new gimmick in advertising. Little did anyone know the word truck rhymes with and sounds like that familiar four-letter f-word. What will happen when your kids start going around spouting off the word truck? Is it time to bring back whoopings? Is Toyota to blame with this Tundra advertisement? More at 11*. (Hat tip to Buckster!) [via Youtube]
* If you come back at 11 there will not be any more information, but feel free to keep watching the commercial.

What no credit for the tipsters anymore?
Truck yes.
Funnier than expected.
@Buckster: I dunno what happened, I'm editing Travis' story to make sure you're credited.
@Buckster: Well maybe if you weren't a little F**kster
Another great reason not to watch TV
Wow, that's edgy and out-of-the-box advertising right there. Yes sir, that should really resonate with the wife-beater and beer-fart target demographic.
@graverobber- Same great taste, new low price!: So they're throwing down the gauntlet with Dodge?
@DaveH.: Breaking: Buckster Rhymes With F**kster, Commenters Exploit
Truck! thats mullet special...
So...would that mean that a bedliner is really a condom?
@DaveH.: Took me a little off guard, but that's funny.
wow, a local dealer spot??? Heritage paid for that themselves... no way Toyota the Prim would put that out.
Err, okay. I guess that's aimed squarely at the mentality that needs a Tundra to pick up a couple bags of potting soil for house plants.
People pulling up in front of my house laying on the horn might get a little more than they bargained for.
@Ray Wert: just bustin yer balls.
Well I'll be trucked!
You should see the new commercial for Bundt Cake!
@ash78: Yeah, Dodge is totally trucked now that Toyota's going after the mouth-breather demo.
@mytdawg: Plays right into the mentality of people who can't resist singing "Name Game" everytime a guy named Chuck shows up ...
Chuck-Chuck Bo Buck
Banana Fana Fo ....
Wow. If I had $40K to spend when I was 10 years old, I prolly woulda bought a Tundra.
What the hell, they get away with this, yet Aspercreme's slogan is no longer "You bet your sweet Aspercreme?"
Not fair, I tell ya.
Pretty stupid.
Has anyone at Toyota noticed that coupe rhymes with poop?
@Bento the Wertsmith: Tunnel of Fudge?
Middle aged guys describing something a 'sweet' does not sit well with me.
Also the fact that the guy was laying on the horn for no reason but his own amusement is probably pretty typical of most of this trucks potential buyers.
There was a used car dealer down south named Jack Shmidt, no kidding. You can guess where his advertising tagline went...
Wow, that was so not clever and not amusing. I would like to have been at the meeting where this idea got greenlighted.
@Volvo144: We had"Brown's Plumbing" with the unforgettable slogan painted on the trucks (and this is not a typo) "If it don't go down, call Brown."
Not impressed, I don't have a problem with the F word either, but the only people I really see giggling at this is kids under the age of 13.
@CafeRacer1200: the next spot will be all about getting trucked in the couper.
Pretty much everything that's wrong with our country (the one I'm in anyway) all in one ad. Well Done!
Reminds me of the Fuddruckers DeEvoultion scene in Idiocracy.
FUDDRUCKERS
FUTTBUCKERS
BUTTRUCKERS
BUTTFUCKERS

And Corolla rhymes with Ayatollah. Coincidence? I think not.
This ad makes me wish Toyota would truck off.
Haha, those silly Japanese, always trucking up the Engrish ranguage.
The Tundra is Truckin ugly.
*Toyota Headquarters*
Gee, if sexual intercourse of word relation is acquired with the truck of word, the circular eye of many America you laugh! Sexual intercourse of title of these books which exactly really have the truck of word ha ha haa...
Trick My Truck But Dont Mess With My Heart
@Buckster: What the Buck is your problem, you Bucking Bundt...
what the french, toast? this totally reminds me of that orbit gum commercial.
@Volvo144: Jack left town?
I'd like to see Chrysler to respond with a "How's your Aspen" ad.
So when it comes time to bump uglies does this mean I can ditch the Barry White and throw this on instead?
Just wondering is all...
Where was this scathing wit when Ford sold the Probe and the Escort? They were so close to being the next Oscar Wilde.
wow, how edgy, Especially when toyota already did the 'swear words' advertisment (the "bugger" ad for the Hilux)
Funnilly enough, Mcdonalds followed soon after with their 'burger' ad. XP
We should just be glad Peterbilt doesn't do TV ads.
This commercial does wonders for the image of those of you who drive pickups.
Truckin'-A
OMG - I saw this on TV the other night. It's a local Ford/Toyota dealership in South Burlington, Vermont. I've been reading Jalopnik for quite a while now and knew this had to be posted, but someone beat me to the punch. Sorry to say it's better than most of our local ads. On the up side, I finally got off my lazy behind and registered to comment. Woo-hoo!
hey I made this commercial and I am so happy that 47 people took the time to comment on it! That's gotta say something, right? check out some of our others at www.mtmansfieldmedia.com
