While driving in downtown traffic today, (on our way to our favorite used bookstore, (about which more later)), we found ourselves behind a Toyota Highlander SUV.
Previously, She Who Somehow Puts Up With My Weirdness and I have made jokes about "Well, the testing seems to be going well, but we keep finding the engineers decapitated and their heads stuffed down rabbit holes.", etc. Today, the riff was "There Can Be Only One". Which led to the following commercial proposal.
Commercial opens with a Toyota Highlander and a Cadillac Escalade nose to nose in a parking garage.
There is a silver flash, as of a large sword blade slashing down and removing the front end of the Caddy.
Many electrical effects, lightning, bulbs exploding on the ceiling of the parking garage, rear section of the Caddy lifting into the air with lightning coming out of it. Toyota bouncing away from rear section of Caddy as though in an earthquake.
Toyota is seen driving away from scene with grill and headlights of Caddy in the cargo area. (No driver visible)
Toyota pulls up to garage door. Door opens, Toyota pulls into garage, walls and open floor areas are covered with grills from various and sundry SUVs, from the modern to 1950s panel vans.
Lights go out, door closes. As door begins to close, pull close up of "HIGHLANDER" badge on tailgate.
Text scroll over black screen, "Toyota Highlander. There can be only One."
Announcer voiceover saying same thing.
Yeah, I know, the copyright people would be all over it like a politician on bribe money, and only us game/fantasy/science fiction geeks would like it.
But I thought it was funny.
