    I usually think these ads are dumb because they try too hard. But I actually smiled at some parts in this one.

    It's just offensive enough to be funny.

    Tries too hard.. Used to have an orginal feel to it and be funny, but now everyone's replicating it for attention..

    I'm not a fan of these ads either...

    These kinds of ads are like your typical commercial that gets nominated for an advertising award because its "creative" or "funny". Yet they don't do much for selling the product.

    There's a time and place to use humor in your ad copy, but to your prospects there's nothing funny about spending thousands of dollars on a car. People don't spend $7,500 on a car because the ad was "funny".

    They may be rather aggressive and that's something I don't mind.

    It's not so bad, it may be offensive but it still made me smile.
