Just saw that commercial. Could we punch everyone in the car? Then push it over a cliff. Since it’s a Hollywood car it will explode in flames. ---

If I were the driver, the last scene would be her dumped on her ass on the sidewalk, and me driving away, having flipped the song from “True,” to Steam’s “(Hey Hey) Goodbye.” The driver is being a pedantic dick about his fabbo new ride. That Apsburgery Rainman driver could ever have gotten nice, sweetly drunk little wife like that is a goddamn Festivus miracle. He deserves a huge ass kicking. ---

I’m on tenterhooks waiting for Bricker to return to this thread. I’m hoping we’ve persuaded him that it’s the husband that needs punching in this commercial, not the wife. Whaddya say, Bricker? ---

> [@Death\_of\_Rats](#): > > Not only did he interrupt Spandau Ballet, but he did it to monologue about something he had already blathered about “all the way to the restaurant.” Yeah, she was a bitch, but he was asking for it. Having seen this commercial way to many times, I’m pretty sure the wife is commenting in awe that the eco-boost thing had been saving the planet “all the way to the restaurant” in a kind of Nancy Reaganesque manner. Of course she is most likely just humoring him so they get back to the sing-a-long. ---

> [@digs](#): > > I’m with _ **Bricker.** _ I want to punch her… AND the driver for interrupting with his boring litany of car features. AND everyone at the ad agency meeting where they came up with this idea. I go with the last group first. Then the driver. The woman doesn’t really bother me, in that she’s trying to tell him, “shut the fuck up, nobody cares about your technological bullshit. Do you mind if we continue to enjoy ourselves and have some fun—FOR A CHANGE!” Or something like that. ---
