VIDEO: Hyundai Assurance - We'll ~*^#ing do anything (NSFW language)
Hyundai Assurance Spoof: Click above to watch the video after the jump
The Hyundai Assurance program has been one of the most clever – and arguably among the most successful – incentive programs in recent memory. Hyundai has experienced a sharp rise in retail share since the program was initiated, and Ford and GM were so impressed with the program that the Detroit automakers decided to whip up their own assurance plan.
If imitation isn't the biggest sign that Hyundai Assurance is a success, then parody is. Some clever chaps at Funny or Die took it upon themselves to create their own Hyundai Assurance commercial, but somehow we don't think this is what the Korean automaker had in mind. Sex ads on Hyundai' website? We don't think so. Be warned, although it's very funny, it has some explicit language. If swear words aren't your thing, you're around kids, or you're sitting in your cube with your ultra-p.c. boss lurking over your shoulder, you may want to pass on this one. Hit the jump to see for yourself.

Real funny, though not as NSFW as you guys implied it was.
I wonder if the guys who made this are from NJ. That container terminal looked like Port Elizabeth.

Presentation is everything. If they had bothered to make it sound like a real commercial instead of some college kid overdubbing with his computer mic, I might have laughed.

Oh no, I criticized something! How dare I comment on why I didn't find it funny! Shame on me!

Agreed, I was thinking the same thing the whole time. Very funny indeed, but a real voice over actor would have put it over the top. Could have found one for free on Craigslist, guaranteed. Also If they had taken some decent quality video instead of those stills to match up with the professional Hyundai footage. Also if the text at the end had even a little finesse... Any NLE is capable of better titling I guarantee it.
But then, this is what YouTube has done to all of the filmmakers out there, Instilled some half-assedness. Pick some photos of the internet, download some stuff, and hit record on your webcam. Heaven forbid you actually go out and shoot something. Cause everyone who cruises YouTube, FunnyOrDie, etc. on a daily basis has just come to expect lackluster production... So it becomes acceptable. Maybe it's me, maybe I am behind the times.
Sorry for the rant, this definitely made me laugh.

That may be a preview for The New GM Corporation's Total Confidence Plan.

It may be funny, but it's a huge insult to a company that's doing more good out there right now then any other company.

Better production quality than Hyundai's Mustang tribute.

At least they'll be around to feed me a Grand Slam next month, unlike The General.

Slightly OT, but anyone else pissed off at Saturn for thier essentially negative political-style ad attacking the Huyndai program? The whole "We wouldn't do that to you" line is particularly grating, especially since they never would have offered the program in the first place in Huyndai hadn't launched theirs.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic.

Remember when we thought the Genesis Coupe was going to be an entirely new leaf for Hyundai and not just a new Tiburon?

what's your point?

It clearly isn't "just a new Tiburon." There will be a smaller, FWD Hyundai coupe later on.
