Yo, this kid must have fell and bump his head, I wish I would be waiting for my kid would be picking and choosing who he wants to be riding in the car with him, now if I did my kid like Gary Coleman's parents did him, and this kid was paying my car note and insurance then I wouldn't have a problem..LOL
@MaxXimumPain hey my friend is in here but true i only like it because she is in this btw she is the big sister in the fron seat.... and her sister is in the middle row and middle seat.
Sorry, cars designed for Soccer Moms are not cool. They have never been cool. And using a stupid noob child to apply forced coolness upon such an awful car is the height of being uncool.
what toyota doesn't realise is that these ads are making them sell 99% less highlanders because of that bratty kid. I hope that the gas pedal sticks like other toyota cars.
Mikey (0:27) is Nathan's BEST friend according to the show. But he allows that girl (0:22) with the pigtails in but not his best friend. That proves Nathan MAY be self-centered. He probably likes that girl.
Of course he likes the girl. it was a little kid humor that all the other people required items to get in but all she needed was her cute smile.
I don't think Mikey is his best friend in this commercial. They made them over time. They like the acting of Mikey so he makes a lot of commercials. In this one he is just another student.
Toyota get's it. You see how they made his sister in the front seat get annoyed? It's funny. They are going "over the top" for humor.
I find it silly that people are missing the humor and are looking for a lesson for their kids in these commercials.
It is not a kid product they are selling. They assumed the adults they are targeting would be smart enough to know it is over the top humor. This wouldn't be funny with a luxury vehicle like a Porsche or BMW but for a Toyota...yeah...it is humor.
Sad thing is, I bet you the kids understand the humor better than their parents.
Most of us went through the peer pressure stage where we either wanted to fit in or be considered cool. These commercials are just poking a little fun at those times from a kids point of view. It is not glorifying it...just humor.
Not everything has to be PC or the "right message" to be enjoyable, educational and memorable. Their job was to get the Highlander name out there in a memorable way and let you know about the features...job well done.
Some have psych problems. He is just a kid...and a good actor I might add...maybe that's why some of you hate him. I see good things in his future. Just you watch.
As far as the line of commercials, it is just humor. They are not trying to teach your kids anything. A Highlander is a mid level car for the masses...not a luxury vehicle...so it is not about class. They are just going over the top and exaggerating to show that you can still have a family car without compromising style.
Alright, to put this out there... It's not that I hate the kid, but somebody had to sign him to this job, and someone had to write the script. I hate those people. I hate them with a passion. Why would anyone ever waste their time insulting parents just to get them to buy some car? And then, in other commercials such as this one, they depict extortion... It's just wrong. Just completely and utterly wrong.
@roberts424 some of these ppl act like they really hate this kid and thats just plain wrong!!!! and I agree Toyota could have done a better job with advertisement!!!!
It is because of this series of commercials that I will never again even consider buying a Toyota. Talk about teaching kids to be entitled little snots.
Toyota is using an 8 year old to tell me their cars are stylish? Please...
8 years olds wouldn't know style if it punched them in the face. Which, by the way, reminds me that this commercial makes me want to do exactly that; Punch this kid in the face.
So this is the stupid highlander commercial jalopnik was talking about. Interesting, being posted in the (apparently) official Toyota youtube channel only makes me wonder what really was the thinking proccess behind something this bad... I mean, I've seen non lame before, this is just generic SUV being generic.
this little faggot wears the SAME EXACT CLOTHES in every commercial. seems his parents can't afford to buy him new clothes since they spent all their money on this jap pos.
I would proudly, PROUDLY kick the living @#$% out of the kid in that commercial for every parent who has worked hard and sacrificed their own interests to provide for their children. Such a child should be thrown off of a cliff and forgotten. Shame on toyota for making a commercial that teaches children to be so disrespectful.
First of all.. I find it disgusting that Toyota wants to cater to the market of parents that want to please their kids. A 10 year old boy should not have any say in what the parents drive. Second, this car is ugly as shit. Third, Toyota blows.
I wouldn't want to ride in that ugly hideous foreign piece of shit. I cringe every time I see these commercials. Theres nothing "Cool" about a Minivan OR SUV! especially a modern one like that!
@sxmchick5 You may not agree with me But I really believe your comment is kinda scathing and rather uncalled for...there are nicer ways to disagree with someone!
That last girl is actually newcomer Jane Widdop. She was also in the SunnyD Brighten with Martina McBride. She is also seen in the 2010 holiday Reynolds Wrap commercial with her brother Henry. Isn't she C U T E !
14 out of 17 models Toyota was suspended from selling for over 5 months... The average American car company employs 35 per 1000 Americans, the average foreign company 10 per 1000. American cars are actually more reliable than foreign cars now, any reputable car magazine will confirm that... I've bought American cars my whole life and will never buy a foreign car simply because I'd rather 35 per 1000 Americans employed than 10 per 1000. People buy Toyota's and then wonder why theres no jobs...
@ihearthescreaming would you americans ever quit your bitching, american cars are still way shitter than Toyotas. i'm from europe, trust me all american cars except Ford have such a poor reputation here and even with the recalls we still see toyotas as being more reliable than our own european cars...
lol all ya commie wannabe's shitting on a company that is no worse than any of our own, you buy what you want. Oh wow they had a defect, like so many lines do, but massive corporations will try to hide the fact of the matter in the media( money moves everything) got an 07 toyota runs like a dream, hasn't failed me once. Uncle still driving one of those 93 toyota camrys (you see them running the highways all over lol) quit your bitching, at least it made Ford try to make a better car. Capitalism
@darknessofkrish I've heard all that talk of Toyota being so great my entire life. I had an Avalon that I loved but it started giving me trouble at 90K. I bought a brand new Lexus in 07 and I had the same problems that Toyotas had so many times but apparently I am a much better driver and got the damn thing under control. I still like Toyota but they aren't all that they are cracked up to be from my own personal experience.
@mastercheif892 Toyota = practical grandma car reputation. Nissan = fun sporty car reputation. You have to admit they both make SOLID vehicles though.
If someone wants a real suv, they should get a jeep and not a Highlander.
