Toyota Prius - "Anthem"

[UnitedPebbles]

Prius is pretty cool. Mine smelled funny. I think I will have to wipe it down with many wet rags because the Prius cloth is actually cotton fabric...that is it will decay with time. You don't need to clean with any chemical most of the time with the Prius. Just clean it a lot of times rather than once in a while. Distilled water seemed to do wonder on the windshield, rubber parts. Well distilled water with low mineral also a good thing for metal & plastic.

FUCKEN USELESS GAY SHIT CAR.

Leigh Hennessy is the Hero Mom (driving the white Prius)

[tubsytwobs]

hahahahaha its a blue prius like what jeff dunham drives lol

[vwmh45]

Duh Fresno will never be L.A or S.F. L.A has the ocean, hollywood,disneyland. Fresno just has Agriculture, crappy air, and good soil for farming. And its not even close to being as populated as L.A or S.F. The population in Fresno is around 470,000.

[adamoth28]

Hahaha...I think it's so funny that people here in Fresno are defending the type if shopping and stores they have here! That pretty much sums it up. This place could use some more cars like the Prius. And the air? Yeah, I frequently smell Sh** in the air - and I mean that literally. The worst thing about Fresno is that a majority of people here are McSame and Stali-I mean Palin supporters, and they think that loving couples shouldn't have the right to be married just because their Bible says so.

[sjsharkslover]

Having lived in Fresno for a long time I can honestly say that it is my opinion that nothing good is going to come out of Fresno unless people there make an effort to become more tolerant of others including that of commericals! I do not eat food from the central valley due to the SMOG and bad water and air...I buy locally grown only The cursing just shows the un-educated not trying to better themsleves. SAD Fresno is lucky to have good schools wish people would go to school!

[adame101]

I live in Fresno!! I like Toyota but I hate the basturds that created this video . And they grow great grapes and other fruits and vegees.

[MACCAPONE60]

fucc fresno..this los angeles....

[Darconville]

"Grapes? You call theses GRAPES? They taste like FRESNO!"

[kalubsbig9]

Fresno California has benefited from unintelligent commercials such as this. Our rich soils produce consumer goods for all over the world, its rich diverse culture makes it a unique community. Whether you are single or trying to raise a family Fresno is a a great place. And with all those beautiful HONDA cars driving through the city, Fresno is hardly a "Ghost-town".

[pianobum]

Hey Ferreson, lookin good there. Notice how I wound up as the screen capture! Hehe. This is officially our first 'real' gig together!

Keep up the good work!

[ieashaluv]

I just read an article that said this commercial was being pulled because of that Fresno reference. 'Tis a pity, too, since it's actually a very clever ad. Sorry to hear your spot was yanked.

[olgakay]

That was great!!!

I hope you know that you have a great face for film and TV

[Ferreson]

THank you Love! :) I can't wait to go and shoot pictures together!

[valleysnow]

Some of you big city people need to understand. We don't ever want this area to a SF or La. From what I learned from traveling the world is that anyplace can be a great place. Its what you make out of it. Im a small town boy and proud of it.

[kylelowe]

Haha... Fresno... I am indifferent to the semi-insult. This is almost as good as when Fresno was mentioned in a House episode and the CSI/Without a Trace double episode, but nothing beats the Fresno reference in Grapes of Wrath!

Hurray for obscure Fresno references!

[tamansolo]

I have lived in Fresno. And Love it!!!. The people at the Advertising Agency have not been to Fresno for sure, and so do the people at Toyota...Do your homeworks guys.

[andshesays]

insulting telemarkers, tickets are jokes, influecening kids to finger someone, educate people of what a ghost town is when it really isnt, yeaaaah this commerical sucks. Besides Fresno you can go to the mountain AND the beach in less time than usual..

[elizabethagirl]

I love Fresno, it's amazing.

It's just a commercial.

I doubt a lot of people will NOT want to come here after watching it. I don't see people running out to the nearest Toyota dealer and buying Prius cars.

Fresnans need to grow up take a joke.

[sjsharkslover]

Exactly people need to become more tolerant in Fresno and realize it is a joke!

[Godssunflowr]

Fresno, ahhh good times... Too bad I live in Seattle Wa LMAO

[sjsharkslover]

Fresno is Fresno. It is not a great place to be. I was there for 7 years working on my BS and MS and boy was I glad to get back to the bay area. People need to grow and realize that Fresno will never be LA or SF

[elranchodecomposo]

Fres--YES!!

[cdintheno]

The worst crime imaginable is... buying a low budget prius.

[freelance837]

FRESNO!!! I hate this backwards farming cowtown in the middle of nowhere. As soon as this housing market turns around I'm selling my house and going back to LA. I cant believe I moved to Freakin Fresno!! :(

[cdintheno]

Hahahaha, LA sucks.

[condoit123]

Oookkk Fresno isn't a "ghost town". The population is 475,000. I'm pretty sure thts not a "town". Fresno has it nice parts and its poor parts. N its nice parts is REALLY NICE(Van Ness Extension, River Park, Palm Bluufs).

[sjsharkslover]

whats sad is Fresno will build and abandon the areas that they once dubbed as the best. That is the problem with Fresno I hope the new downtown stadium will revitalize it but bad city planning is ruining the city!

[samyjess21]

Honestly - do you people ever get tired of being overly sensitive? It was just a commercial. I can't believe that senator feinstein didn't have anything better to do with the time the taxpayers are paying her for than to shoot off a letter to Toyota voicing her displeasure. My suggestion - grow some - backbones that is.

[KungFuQueenie]

Who's the Sociopath that decided to take a crack at Fresno? Some people who've never been here probably think Fresno is actually like this commercial. I've spent time in LA at Awards shows, Hollywood Parties, VIP Post-Concert parties on the Sunset Strip, the Vanity Fair party in Beverly Hills on Oscars weekend, and I can tell you some of those events can't top some of the parties I've been to in Fresno! If you can't find something to do every day/night of the week, that's your own fault!!!

[LaurieAK]

Can someone please identify the MUSIC that is being played in the background. I'd Much appreciate it. cheers, Laurie

[scarlettdesigns]

hey, they're touting frez as a tourist stop----that's revenue! and let's be honest, fresno has just about the worst air quality in the nation---too bad all the hummer, mammoth suv, and gigantic pick-up truck owners here don't trade in for a prius---

a resident of fresno

[vangelicmonk]

I know exactly what you are saying. The people there love their big trucks.  It is sad. Awful air quality. I lived there for a few years. I didn't have a prius, but I had a really small car. Did my best not to drive too much there.

[Lovick001]

Oh, come on! What an opportunity to laugh at ourselves and bank on the name recognition!  If we could only laugh at ourselves instead of getting all riled up about nothing, we'd make our town an attraction.

[nursefocker]

Agreed. Fresno is a great city and it made the commercial seem very akward and weird.

[Ferreson]

(see comment below ;)

[kemiklydiztink]

dude...y pick on fresno?.. its not a ghost town..it's actually a really nice city.. tho people say otherwise..Fresno has stores like L.A and S.F....so yeah..this video needs to be taken down.... i'm sure other fresnans agree..and i bet city leaders are going to write to senator feinstein about this...

[Ferreson]

Actually, ever since I was really young, my family would vacation at Shaver Lake nearly every year which is just an hour past Fresno. And honestly its amazing how much Fresno has changed and grown over the years. It's frickin huge now compared to it seeming like a small place when I was young. These days, you can find a drive-thru Starbucks on every corner!

[sjsharkslover]

I went to FSU moving to Fresno from SF I can tell you the stores in Fresno are nothing like in SF. I now live in LA-happy to get out of Fresno. Fresno will never be high end barely got a Coach store? Who shops at Coach anymore? Fresno is still behind the times and a little ghetto. Even my home on the country club in NE Fresno off of Champlain is ghetto compared to the homes here. Fresno just needs to realize that nothing is going to become of it. Sorry but true.

[leadsize12s]

SJSharksLover: I'm sure you've probably recently eaten food that came from the San Joaquin Valley. So your comment about "nothing is going to become of" Fresno is bullshit.

Fuck the Prius!

[sjsharkslover]

LOL the guy who quoted did not even quote me right! The only thing good in Fresno is the schools. I wish more people would go to them and learn tolerance and patience. Fresno has potential but with the economy on the downturn no one has a reason to move there anymore for cheap housing!

[jnfire79]

the future has ugly, blah, unflattering clothing

[jnfire79]

awe...you're all growns up
