Toyota, WoW Come Together in New Tacoma Ads

News | Oct. 8, 2007 (10 months, 2 weeks ago) | by animatorzw | via blogcritics.org | Filed in World of Warcraft

A new commercial has started airing for the Toyota Tacoma, which generally might not get a lot of buzz in the gaming community. That is, if it wasn't set in the ever-popular World of Warcraft game. And especially if it didn't parody one of the most well-known and well-loved moments in WoW's history.

The spot parodies the infamous Leroy Jenkins video, but with a much different outcome. Even Leroy's infamous line of "Let's do this!" makes the cut this time around. The linked video is currently missing the last five seconds of the ad telling you it's a Toyota Tacoma ad, but the most relevant part is there.

I don't think we'll ever see it on tv. It reaches it target audience on youtube, for free. Great ad! Odd to see a car company using WoW of all things to promote a truck, but it worked.

That has got to be one of the worst commercials I have seen in my LIFE..

It wasn't even worth the time it took me to watch it (and my time isnt worth jack shit to be clear)
