The Weirdest, Most Ridiculous Car Commercials Ever

The Toyota Hilux is legendary for its toughness, and that's clearly the message of this commercial. But while, for most companies, scenes showing the vehicle navigating crazy obstacles would be enough to get the point across, Toyota seems to believe no commercial is complete without a completely random departure from the norm. And so, not only do we have an unlikely series of environmental phenomenon occurring in a single day, we're joined by a motorcycle-riding armored boar and its ice cream-loving monkey sidekick. Just when you have decided this isn't real and you simply need some sleep, the monkey reappears with the coup de grace to the final shreds of your sanity: "Hokey pokey!" But then again, this is apparently all happening in New Zealand, which is famous for fantastical creatures, and who knows what a Kiwi considers normal. For all we know, cyclones, volcanoes, landslides, and floods might actually be the least remarkable things a New Zealander has seen all week.
