The One Toyota Ad You Have to See

There have certainly been some interesting videos from Toyota this year. From the "how did they think of that?" department comes the series of ads featuring the Prius c and a spoof of the game of Life. They also made an original song to promote their 100 Cars for Good initiative. As a social media guy, one of the spots I really like is the Venza ad where the girl talks about setting up Facebook profiles for her parents and how they've already got 19 friends. Have you seen it? Or would you prefer an endorsement from your favorite childhood celebrity? Fear not, they recruited both BILL NYE and WINNIE COOPER from The Wonder Years to educate you on the Prius.

However, my favorite from Toyota's repertoire of Youtube content this year is the futuristic video they created below. Ever seen the movie Idiocracy? If you haven't, the gist of the film is that a man is sent to the future, where he finds that despite advances in technology, people have actually become less intelligent over time (a brilliant concept, if you ask me. Mike Judge is a genius).
The same principle applies to this alternate reality where a couple set off to work in the morning. I won't spoil any details, but the story behind it all is "a world without hybrids".

Bill Nye the Hybrid Guy


Whether you grew up in the 90's or not, there's no denying that Bill Nye the Science Guy is the reason that most of us started thinking that science could be cool (and kudos to the guy who came up with one of the catchiest music intros to a show that still sticks with me to this day!)

Now, he has teamed up with Toyota to produce a new series of videos online, talking about the Prius C and hybrid technology. I've always personally loved how Bill Nye can manage to make learning about things so entertaining. Especially true when it comes to newer cars and hybrid technology - the amount of detail that goes into the vehicles we drive today is a lot more complex than cars from back in the day.

Check out the videos below to get a blast from the past, and a lesson on the future-
