Wow. Not one but two Fresno references in one ad.

A horrifying vision of the future.

A dystopian nightmare to exceed "Blade Runner" or even "Mad Max".

On the Hate/Not Terrible/Good/Ferrari-Shell Scale: Not Terrible.

That is all.

In the future Mr. Fusion will make the Prius look like an underpowered spam can. Wait...we don't need Mr. Fusion for that....

Its like someone that works for Toyotas ad agency actually went to Hell and somehow came back to tell us all about it.

@ChickenDust: only a bicycle

For Toyota's sake, this had better be airing only in Boston and West LA.

They're doing the pinky wag! Prius drivers have little dicks!

@snep: So Aussie women don't dig muscle car OR Prius drivers? What's left? Guess we'll all be driving POOFTER Geo Trackers soon.

They're right about Fresno... In college we used to have arguments about whether it's the armpit or the crotch of the State.

@jonnylieberman: This state has so many shitholes that I've run out of orifices to liken them to.

@LTDScott: Global warming is turning people into homosexuals?

@TRAMS_AM: "... to liken them to."

at least you're not trying to bone them all. i made a pass at Redwood City once. i credit that to a little 'lude and gin cocktail i like to call "David Lynch's Crawlspace."

I believe every college student has, at one time, argued whether a particular city was the armpit, crotch, ass crack, etc. of the state in which it resides. I can understand the armpit or butt, buy why the crotch? Shouldn't that be reserved for the best towns in the state since that's where all the tingly, good feelings come from.

Oh, and Priusussuss suck.

@akier: I'm afraid of David Lynch's Home Office. What's the crawlspace like?

Good one, though :-)

Having finally driven one of those acid-tank on ice skates pieces of buzzkill this weekend, I can truthfully report that I am terrified of the future. Just sitting in one of those things made my blood boil. I thought to myself "wow, a large portion of my countrymen really do hate driving cars." That start button? When I press something like that I expect to hear some whirring, a couple of clicks, and a deep rumble. I also expect it to be starting the engine in a car that somewhat resembles something I could drive passionately. Cars that look like something you'd find in the autopsied rectum of a hypocritical republican senator should not have start buttons.

When my father bought one of those terrible things, I didn't talk to him for three months. I told him to get a TDI Golf if he wanted me to resume being his offspring. I finally broke down and communicated with him, but rest assured it was mostly for Prius bashing.

Something strikes me about the ad: in the future, everyone will drive a Prius and there will be no gas stations? For how long, exactly, are we going to drive these Prii? The one I drove needed gas.

Anyway, I'll see y'all in the future. I'll be the one in a twin-turbo 383-powered Locost driving around with a bottle of Wild Turkey and running red lights. Either that or I'll play the upper hand and build a Locost with a two liter turbodiesel running on soy oil. There are ways to get better gas mileage without sapping every last bit of joy out of your soul.

@apuesto: I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

I can't take any more in one day! I'm still trying to figure out what a "rug pisser" is.

@jonnylieberman: It's the armpit, you can have fun with the crotch.

Ummm, the methane from cows doesn't really come from that end. Most of the methane comes from the mouth as cows have a two-stage digestive system. If Toyota doesn't know THAT should they really be trusted with the future of...OH MY GOD!!! NINJAS JUST JUMPED THRU MY PICTURE WINDOW!!! HELP ME!! HE...!!!!!!

It appears that all the Priuses in that ad have aftermarket wheels.

Shouldn't Prii (and their oh-so-smug owners) be forced to play something like the link below in cities if they don't want to run over sightless folks?

[rope.92kqrs.com]

Before this ad I was convinced that our future was exactly depicted in Idiocracy. Now, I find myself swinging towards the Simpsons Tree House of Horror with the monkey paw and aliens that conquered the planet with boards that had nails in them.

Either way I weep for the future

@apuesto: Sweet merciful crap I almost had an aneurism when I read:

"Cars that look like something you'd find in the autopsied rectum of a hypocritical republican senator should not have start buttons."

You win at rectum based humor for today... but only for today!

So when everyone drives a Prius, can I still have my Mustang?

@danio3834: ts like someone that works for Toyotas ad agency actually went to Hell and somehow came back to tell us all about it.

"Take it from me. Two minutes in Hell is a lifetime."

So Toyota plans to sell bags of cow farts in the future? To power their cars, since no gas stations will be around? ...

If this is the future of the car, and of driving, please, someone kill me now!

In the future, I'll be hunting and bedding replicants that have fled the offworld colonies in search of their creator.

@apuesto: You are awesome. Id like to subscribe as well.

This is so stupid.

In the future I will tail gate, cut off, and P.I.T. all of these Priusez to death with my '69 CST/10

Bet you I dont even get a door ding from one of them.

That is the smuggest, smarmy, blatantly catering to do-gooders, no-content, self-satisfied, misleading, trite, studied bullshit ad ever.
If telemarketers are the worst criminals in the future, well, we can avert that future by killing the Prius marketeers. Now.

In the future all restaurants will be Taco Bell but the most important question is....how do you use the three shells?

Really? I kinda like this ad... just kidding!

So... what's the plural form of Prius?

Prii?

(think Hawaii)

@apuesto:

Careful. The thought police will be coming to take you away with statements like that.

@eCurmudgeon: @M0L0TOV: I was thinking Demolition Man, too....

F*ck, I WANT high performance cars. I want high octane for breakfast, screamin' exhausts to scare old ladies and BUCKETS of horsepower, okay? I want to lay down a patch the size of Cincinnati in the residential part of town. And I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine!

>bzzzt< "You have been fined $100 for violating the Civil Language Code of 2025"

Crap, I want to do it the old fashioned way!

>bzzzt< "You have been fined $100 for violating..."

@BraappBraapp: so.... one island in the Pacific is Hawaius?

@Novaload: Nicely put. Concisely put. Good work.

Thanks@apuesto. Quite a compliment, coming from you.("acid tank on ice skates"!)

single finger salutes? XD
