Click above to view video of "A Suzuki with Shocks"Most automakers are desperately trying to appeal to the all important 18- to 25-year-old male demographic, that group of consumers who thinks cooking should be no more complicated than a Hot Pocket and watch
Saturday Night Live without the historical comedic context of
Jim John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. A Suzuki dealership in Evansville, IN has the answer for its parent brand's marketing dept. What appear to be two very bored car salesman who both bear an uncanny resemblance to
Joey Fatone formed a faux boy band dubbed 4 Eva and shot a video for their single "Suzuki with Shocks". The song is a parody of a ditty from the modern
SNL crew performed by Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake last year called "
BLEEP in a Box". You can fill in the blank, but be careful 'cause that link's very NSFW. So Evansville Suzuki is spoofing a song that spoofs boy bands to sell cars; that's so post modern it makes our heads hurt. But the spoof-once-removed is funny, albeit a bit creepy. Check out the video that's sure to be climbing the TRL charts after the jump.

ok, but what if I'm 26? I mean, I'm not but I will be soon. I just turned 22 and this stuff is scaring me! I don't want to be out of that demographic, I like the attention and I need it to make up for my childhood! It makes me feel important! So what, I turn 26 and then I suddenly don't think those things anymore? Cooking should NEVER be more difficult than a hot pocket! So society is just gonna tell me how to be now? Cause whether it's done on purpose it is dictating the norm... I'm just saying I hate growing up and you can all go kill yourselves. :) Please take it upon yourselves whether or not that was sarcasm. Peace! Oh, and susuki sucks!

erm, you mean JOHN Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase and Bill Murray.
Jim has been on SNL but not in the "historical comedic context" being referred to.

Wow... so Suzuki's don't have shocks standard? They better replace the shocks on that SX4 they bounced hard on.
Awesome song either way. :D

I'm 2x the age of this demographic, but thought this was clever. Since I'm from Evansville, it was nice to see what locales they integrated into it.
BTW - this is same outfit that owns the Subaru dealership in town. What's their next video? "Get a WRX and get lots of sex"?

Ha - 4-Eva was the name of April's band in the comic strip For Better or For Worse.
I wish I didn't know that....
