Yaris Commercial

Saw it for the first time during prison break on FOX. It was sweet. There was a spider that was made up of gas nozzles and the yaris ran it over, then sucked up what little gas was left on the ground from the spider, then drove off. SWEET.

(saw it again)

just saw a diferent one. this one is a little piggy bank, and the yaris trys to break into it. Finally a little tap with a little hammer opens it, the yaris pulls a penny out and puts it under the hood of the car. These commercials are pretty cool. They are cartoony like, kinda like a flash animation but a lot better.

I noticed the Fit had two commercials back to back and then finally they showed the Yaris one on [Adult Swim] using the 'bumps'

I just saw the commercial with the spider during the Tonight Show. It was pretty funny.

Toyota also had a red Yaris liftback showcased during the Tonight Show concert tonight.

I'm glad to see that Toyota is finally advertising the Yaris here in the US.

I can't wait to see what they come up with in magazine ads.

The June issue of Sport Compact Car had a Honda Fit ad, test drive, and a couple of modified Fits at the track. Nothing on the Yaris. :(

hasn't anyone seen the canadian commercials? pretty good. theres an attack on the peasent village, and one guy holding a door shut, looks at another guy, and tells him not to worry, they have sent someone to get help. next scene, the guy in the yaris is doing donuts in front of 3 chicks, BEST.

Just saw the commercial where the yaris breaks into the piggy bank with a laser and saw. Then takes the penny. Poor piggy bank. :(

I hope nobody from peta sees this one...it's not a real pig...but it was sad to watch.

I saw a new commercial last night during Prision Break. It was a Yaris dash that was flying around like a ufo beaming various objects up.

It sure beats Honda's commercials for the Fit. "The Fit is go!"

I've got most of them on my video iPod, both the Medieval ones (donuts and trojan horse), Uncle Yaris (carries alot, plays great tunes, born in europe) and two Yaris sedan ones (they never shut up, house with all the gnomes)
