But the video cues all point to some kid being threatened by bullies (Indeed...if he is trying to win a race, why hide behind trees?) I agree with the previous comment. They re-dubbed and edited the commercial after some negative feedback by some test audiences.Docmeadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087035636663758482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-57946591449389616562010-09-05T19:49:44.572-07:002010-09-05T19:49:44.572-07:00I'm pretty sure Chrysler redid the commercial ...I'm pretty sure Chrysler redid the commercial after it was released, and changed the kids voice at the beginning to change the theme from a threatened beatdown to a race. Probably some angry parents protested, or something. That's why the kid is hiding behind a tree... who hides if they're running a race?baudkarmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09443074068884999599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-36577800395605979502010-07-31T18:43:19.373-07:002010-07-31T18:43:19.373-07:00I also hate this commercial.

She then acts surprised when he poofs into the back seat, "Oh there you are."<br /><br />DUMB! There is too much mystery involved in this commercial. Last time I checked they are supposed to be quick and too the point, not leaving me guessing for more information.<br /><br />I have such a hatred for this commercial especially today because I am watching a baseball game and it seems to be on every commercial break.AnodizeZerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789865488209203861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-46669933085439959622010-07-22T17:17:09.981-07:002010-07-22T17:17:09.981-07:00"not to escape being flayed alive at the hand..."not to escape being flayed alive at the hands of their butcher knives, as you'd make it out to be."<br /><br />"Your blog would be a lot more enjoyable if you didn't make yourself so easily hatable by over-reaching to such a melodramatic degree..."<br /><br />Um, ok Jason.

The dialogue of the ...Did you watch the commercial? The dialogue of the ad was 'Hey Parker. Wanna race me home? Bet I can beat you there!'. The point of running to the car, and the subsequent tongue-sticking, was to laugh at his friends (not his tormentors) at his innovative way to win the competition - not to escape being flayed alive at the hands of their butcher knives, as you'd make it out to be.<br /><br />How is that 'laughing at bullying'? Your blog would be a lot more enjoyable if you didn't make yourself so easily hatable by over-reaching to such a melodramatic degree in finding reasons to hate a commercial.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08927358499751284174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-48015758124650213272010-07-19T21:54:17.447-07:002010-07-19T21:54:17.447-07:00He's that insipid little creep we all remember...<i>He's that insipid little creep we all remember from school- the one who was the bravest guy in the world when holding on to his mom or dad's leg, and nowhere to be seen when mom and dad were not around.</i><br /><br />I believe that Larry Linville used to play a guy like that on a sitcom for five seasons.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
