It's an obvious copy of the Leroy Jenkins video. Not sure why Toyota is trying to capitalize on the Warcraft crowd? Kind of odd if you ask me...

Kind of like the way Coca-Cola attempts capitalize on the GTA crowd with this heaping pile of dung:

But hey, they sure beat the hell out of 'typical' car commercials.

This might have been shared here but I thought it was cool nonetheless:

Toyota is smart trying to market to 12 year old kids who can't drive yet....

Well my wife found it hilarious and she's never played WoW and knows next to nothing about it, so I think it works to a wider audience. It might be a generational thing.

Hey, geeks need to drive and occassionally haul shit too.

The average age of WoW players isn't 12 by the way. I don't know what it is, but I think >20.

Yeah, I realize that the average age isn't 12. But it sure does seem like everyone acts like a 12 year old in it.

Nah, only 25% does. But that 25% makes 10 times more noise than the rest, so it seems like everybody is retarded.

The real world lags behind the gaming world by about 2 years which is why this commercial is lame. It was nice of FOX news to make a big deal about how bad a violent Grand Theft Auto 3 was...especially since they waited 2 years to do it.
