$$$ / Holiday A Review Of Those Ads Where People Give Each Other Cars For Christmas
Posted by Alex Falcone on Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 10:14 AM
It's that time of the year again—the time when those Lexus ads come on TV. The ones where a rich person is like, "Here, honey. I bought you a $30k car for Christmas. And I put a bow on top." And everybody at home is like, "What? Nobody does that." But the rich person's wife in the ad is all like "Oh, thanks. That's a nice gift."
They're pretty infuriating. So I made you this little video where I highlighted the worst parts of the ads and showed you how they could be way better.
