  • Priuses

    

  • Priusi

  • I always thought one half of glasses was "monocle "?

  • What do you call a car that rolls down a hill and doesn't allow you to stop? Or accelerate instead of slow down?

    Death trap? Death traps? Death trapi? Death trapede? 

  • prii

    

  • Prii

  • prii

  • Maybe a "praggle" of "Pria"?

  • Octopuses! "Octopi" is wrong! WRONG!

  • @zhudson Wikipedia says, "octopuses is the most common form in both the US and the UK; octopodes is rare, and octopi is often objectionable." (i've always called them octopodes)

  • i wish people would call the plural of walrus walri because it sounds so cool, but they don't

  • priuses

    

  • Prius goes plural - when it hits a wall after unintended acceleration

  • Prii

  • This movie is the only good thing that was ever caused by a Toyota Prius.

  • It's Priuses, you geniuses! Opps, I mean "genii".

  • The Plural of Prius is Prii

  • @maribia46 you wernt forced to watch this video, so u can take your viewing pleasures elsewhere :)

  • the singular for glasses is monocle /Monóculo

  • I probably wouldn't have bought a Prius anyway, but forcing me to sit through this commercial before 4 consecutive videos has absolutely solidified my resolve. I will never, ever, ever buy a Prius. Now please stop harassing me!

  • @drewdane40 who forced you?

  • @Dollozze YouTube. I'm not sure how you failed to notice, but there are a hell of a lot of commercials on this site. This one specifically came up on 4 consecutive videos before I posted that comment, but I've probably been made to sit through it 50 times in all.

  • I miss the Halo Reach ads...

  • This is so catchy!

  • OMG I HATE THIS AD! Atleast replace it with another ad plz youtube!

  • omg i had this ad twice once on the utube ad then this why!!!!!!!!!

  • SOOOOO Irritating!!! SOMEONE STOP THIS AD!!!

  • SOOOOO Irritating!!! SOMEONE STOP THIS AD!!!

  • This Ad is so annoying...

  • ...isnt it prii?

  • The plural of prius is prii!

  • @Jelley0 well said

  • @johnmadden74

    I've heard of people hating toyota prius but you take it to a different level. LoL

  • The plural of octopus--contrary to popular belief--isn't octopi. The "-us" to "-i" suffix is only valid with Latin words. Octopus is from Greek, so it's either the Greek plural, octopodes, or simply octopuses in English.

  • I guess now if you see a bunch of Prii you can say they're all just as uglii

  • @C06coolvette HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHA.......no.

  • @DJvideoes

    I should have mentioned unless you're a girl or a girly man. The joke is on you =D

  • @C06coolvette I am a girl.

  • @DJvideoes

    Congratulations the 'joke' isn't on you. Every guy I talk to agrees the prius is ugly but girls (and some guys) seem to like the way they look. To each their own I suppose...

  • @C06coolvette i don't really like the look of them. I like jeeps.

  • @TheNoisePolluter it's really not a big deal to watch a 30 second ad is it? if you watch t.v. you see thousands of 30 second ads and no one complains about that.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this ad (:

  • I hate this

  • The song sounds like They Might Be Giants.

  • the "prii" song gets annoying after having to watch it on every single youtube video..

  • Where's the "PRII" version?! I wanna watch it.

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song, idk why but its catchy

  • @kaasmopjah To me, it's almost like watching a kindergarten/child development TV show, but its for adults or something. "Look, mommy! I'm learning about plurals!"

  • @imthecoffee I can't agree more, but it's so LOLZ.

  • prii

  • I waited the whole video for the "The plural of Prius is Prii" Part but it wasnt there

  • I need lyrics :p

  • this octopus to octipi spikey cactus to cacti 

  • Prii

  • @damnfoolstoday lol cant seem to find that commercial on youtube...:)

  • The "scientific" plural of prius is just prius.

  • Prii won, altough it doesen't sound good

  • @IanEduardoMeneses indeed. Prihi or something. But it looks like they made it a fair vote. That's worth something. And people will talk about it. Like we do know

  • I am a Latin student at CSCC in Columbus. There is no plural for prius. It means 'first'.

  • @iluvsesshomaru09 Hi Latin student: You're a student, you're supposed to think for yourself, and outside known boundaries. Yes, it means first, but now it is a car, so it should be possible to talk about it. Besides, if one becomes first in one category, and another becomes first in a second category, you could have more than one first, couldn't you? Firsts.

  • @sjaak228 actually, prius has an adjective ending, so since the gender is neuter and since it is modifying the car type, then the comparative nominative plural neuter form "priora" is the correct ending.

  • Doesn't matter what you call it, its still a gay car meant for hypermilers and eco-nuts who inhibit traffic, society, or politics...or all three. Aside from getting great milage and being a "green-statement" or a status symbol for the driver, the Prius appeals at absolutely no level at all.

  • A more important question is what is the collective noun for a set of Pri{uses|i|um|en}?

  • @allengarvin i think it would be a gaggle

  • That's what happens when you take a verb and make it a noun. :P

  • nice one. and i like Prium.

  • joy said get a life

  • It should be priusi. Pronounced pre-yuh-sigh.

  • hhahah.. CHECK dummies its not octupi, its a greek word the correct prefix is octopodes!!! (ocht-top-oh-deez) thats funny

  • To die, is singular

    But "did he died"?, is plural... past tense plural

    Not to mention, that its a YouTube original

  • Comment removed

  • Alright, thats it. This crap has gone on long enough. Chuichupachichi has arrived & this "plural of prius" thing is about to be made absolute

    Thats because I'm not a retarded "Relativist", I'm an "Absolutist"

    I'm not a crazy "Conspiracy Theorist", I'm a "Conspiracy Factualist"

    and where there's 1 tit, there's 2... I know because I'm Chuichupachichi

  • It appears as though all this "plural of prius" commotion is due to Toyota having manufactured a 4 door version. Thats the key to figuring out the "plural of prius". Aside from the key now opening 4 doors, it also means that the girl in the Prius commercial now has enough space to have 2 boyfriends

  • Thus, the "plural of prius" is D.P.

    You bunch of retards couldn't figure that one out? It was easy... you simply have to imagine yourself in a Prius & put your mind to thinking of where you'd park? In the gutter... where else?

  • Share/tweet this video from Shweet.com and you're entered into a draw for a nice little moleskin notebook. Other sick prizes there too - like a 32" LCD HDTV :)

  • prii is the goodest one!!!!! :D ILL GET A VIRTUAL ITEM ON CAR TOWN!! :D!!11 HOORAY!!!!11!!

  • Octopi is incorrect- it is not a latin word. The correct plural is octopuses. Check your facts before you make a video.

  • @RegisteringIsTorture ur wrong too, check your facts, got to merriam webster, it is a greek word so its not octupi(latin), nor octupuses (english myth) but octopodes (greek) (ohct-top-oh-deez)

  • @Rubix1999 No. Octopuses are in the order Octopoda.

  • Hate the prius, but this is a funny video lol

  • Why does he say "when you add es?" Sound autotuned?

  • I think Prii. Who knows! Go vote!

  • they don't say the plural of the Prius b'cauz of CarTown !!

  • @bentwenty1 the game of facebook

  • ... My head hurrrtssss... =(

  • One of the catchiest songs ever. I might buy a Prius because of this video.

  • I'd naturally say Prii

  • I don't get it. I'm confused!

  • one more reason to hate prius.

  • Interesting commentary on the complexities of the English language

  • Thumbs up if you play cartown!

  • Priuses

  • prii

  • It seems that Toyota needs to recall this commercial. They claim the plural of octopus is octopi, but they are wrong. The only acceptable plural in English is either octopus or octopuses. Octopi derives from the mistaken notion that octopus is Latin, which it is not. It is Greek.

  • @kinjurishunjin u cant recall a commercial. you can take it down though

  • @mastercheif892 you missed the dry humor. i know you can't recall a commercial. it was a joke concerning all the recent recalls that toyota has had.

  • Good video im vote for priuses

  • My SUV pooped one of them out yesterday

    Great spot btw!

  • FUCKING YEEESSSS. I LOVE THE COMMERICIAL!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!1!!11111!!!!!!­!!!! YEESSSSSSSS!!!!! PRIUS SO SEEEEEXXYYYYY!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! !!!!1!!1!!1!! 1!!1 1!! 1!

  • a Prick of Pre-i

  • Prius turns into.... Prius

  • Priï

  • Thanks for the f-shack!

    Love,

    Dirty Mike n tha boiz

  • how about moose?? great advert btw XD

  • Priuses :D

  • Prium sounds cool though

  • Pri-i that sounds awesome

  • priuses.

  • Priuses! It seems to like a no-brainer to me, but so far 40% of the voting is for “prii”. People are just being silly. So you are going to tell someone you are getting both of your “prii” serviced this week? Stupid

  • The commerical is good. THe idea, not so much. You already have small cars, yaris, scion xd, etc, that you could put a hybrid powerplant into. WHy introduce MORE cars?In case you forgot, you have scions, yaris, corolla, matrix, IQ if you ever put it on the road. How bout making a hybrid sports car, like you've teased for a while, whith the volta or the Supra replacement? You've driven me to Mazda. Not that I'm complaining. I love my RX-8, and my dad loves his MX-5. So thanks.

  • EFL Orgasm.

    n.b. In Latin 'prius' is an adverb meaning 'previously.' Definition of ironic....

  • I dont see whats the idea behind he ad. It is entertaining but what does it say about it? that theres gotta be more prius and that the brand invites the consumer to name the plural of it?? but what does it has to do with the car, what makes this ad unique??

    ahhh .... booring

  • @adrianoaguilar They are adding different types of prius. They are introducing the idea of multiple prius cars all using prius as the name. Kinda dumb, if you ask me. They didn't call the camry hybrid the pruis camry, or the highlander hybrid the pruis highlander. Basically, they are trying to say all of their new hybrids will be part of the prius family, so what do you call it when there's a couple of different prius in the lot? It's a soft sell.

  • @cgregoirebtw technically, the different types of Prius-ses/ii/ums(I don't know!) are named differently with one or more words. Check the Prius Family website to know the different names and specs. And another thing, this ad is to ask you what is the plural for 'Prius', Vote at the website ;). My thought: Cars does have a plural form; RAV4s, Scions, RX-7s, Miatas(MX-5) etc. But I don't know the plural form for Prius. But FYI, the MX-5 is also the Eunos, which I don't know the plural form either.

  • The collective noun for a group of Priuses is a 'sanctimonious'...

  • Toyota Rape- The car of the future!

  • @TheTopOfTheCrop It's good marketing nevertheless.

  • "Prius" is the neutral of "prior" in Latin. The neutral plural of "prior" would be "priora". - Online Etymology Dictionary

    TL DR Priora

  • @maneneko Also, plural of "octopus" is "octopuses" or "octopodes."

  • prii.

  • Priuses

  • LOVE

  • According to the Miriam Webster Dictionary, the official plural for octopus is actually 'octopodes', because the original word is Greek, not Latin (where 'us' does turn to 'i'). This would also mean that the plural for hippopotamus would be 'hippopotomodes' - a word that I personally think is fantastic.

  • @LongLiveToyota oh for gods sake! your username!!

  • to me Prius is singular and plural!

  • i think something louder...im a cyclist, and have been hit twice by priuses...they should take a coffee can, put a tumbeler inside, and fill it with scrap metal, and spin it. problem solved!

  • Try -ick.

  • Octopus and Platypus are of Greek origin, not Latin. They are not 2nd declension words, so -us should not become -i. (Also, the way they pronounced the -i ending is the way -ae is pronounced, and is strictly a feminine plural.) The Greek pous is 3rd declension so the proper plurals of Octopus and Platypus are Octopodes and Platypodes.

    What Latin Professor said Prium? Prius is pretty clearly second declension masculine singular, so Prium is the neuter singular and the masculine plural is Prii

  • obviously priuses
