Subaru of Canada has shown its twisted sense of humor with this new commercial for the Subaru Forester that plays off the whole "sexy babes washing a car" motif. Instead of busty blondes, however, the Japanese automaker supplants sumo wrestlers who thrown sponges at each other, squirt each other with the hose and get caught in slow-motion replays while flipping their hair back. If you're eating lunch right now, put the fork down and make sure you've swallowed your food before watching the commercial after the jump. Thanks for the tip, Shari!

Thats hilarious... nice to see some company going out of the norm... but lets not get rid of all the car models.
Mel. R @ May 14th 2008 12:41PM
That's more types of wrong than I care to count.
Still laughed my arse off though, especially when the old people showed up.

+1
though I think they have it right that the forester is about as sexy as a sumo wrestler.
new model is pretty good though. they should do one that takes the girl from planters commercials going into a plastic surgeon and coming out a hot model.

Amusing. But I would have perferred Japanese girls in Sailor Moon outfits.

i thought that was great..especially when one of them blasted the other man in the face with the sponge..it wasnt a small toss..it was a full on smash to the mouth.
Alex @ May 14th 2008 3:33PM
i completely lost my office compusure when that sponge hit! That and the ass jiggle from the towel slap. Too damn funny.

i wonder if they would allow this commercial to run in the states.... THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!
gino @ May 14th 2008 1:00PM
The children are watching reruns of Bad Girls...

There is absolutely no way this could be shown in the US without at least 500 people suing each other.

If a group did a charity car wash at the local gas station featuring these guys, I just might be tempted to stop, for comedy's sake.
Dun @ May 14th 2008 2:54PM
Absolutely would get a car wash!
Then send the pics to my friends in Japan!
Hakim Iddeen @ May 14th 2008 1:15PM

Eh...I will stick with the Greek commercials.
imoore @ May 14th 2008 2:01PM
These guys are about as sexy as those skin-and-bones runway fashion models. In other words, NO! NO! NO! FOR THE LOVE OF HUMANITY, NO!!!!
Aprime @ May 14th 2008 2:29PM
