Vintage Commercial: Joe Isuzu / Isuzu Trooper (1988)

Joe Isuzu compares the Isuzu Trooper to the Jeep Cherokee. This aired in New York in June 1988. Unfortunately I had taped over the end of this commercial so only the first thirteen seconds remain; I uploaded it anyway because even that should be enough to bring back memories.

DAMN IT, why did i tape over it?

[PopeInnocentXIV]

Sorry! This was a tape I used 20 years ago to record shows when I wasn't home. I needed a tape and this was just a commercial. Of course had I known then what I know now, I would have recorded nothing but commercials; or at least kept this one instead of a commercial for Fedders air conditioners. Check out my other videos; at least those commercials still survive.

@Hypnotron2006 and you do know car is spelled with a "c", correct?

[artistwithouttalent]

@artistwithouttalent and we wouldn't have been settled with all of that debt. HOW DID THIS HELP US?

Make you and every hardcore liberal that reads this a deal: we'll stop attacking democratic policy when democrats stop fucking up.

@artistwithouttalent Here's the kicker: SOMEONE in the government realized they should stop interfering with the function of private industry (FINALLY!), and consequently sold their stocks in Chrysler, at a multi-billion dollar loss. So, just to tally it up: two massive bailouts, one company ending up under foreign ownership, and billions lost in lower stock resale values, all of which could have been avoided by letting the free market work; the brands would have maintained their existence,

@artistwithouttalent it would have hurt the other manufacturers' bottom lines too much. And here;s something else to complain about, on the subject: the federal government wasted billions bailing out Chrysler and GM; while GM payed back their loans and interest well w/i the time constraints (a move I applaud), Chrysler STILL ended up getting bought out by Fiat, which is what was going to happen without government intervention.

[artistwithouttalent]

@Hypnotron2006 Yes they would have; bad tax law by both Bush and Obama put Detroit out of reach of most consumers, and lower quality put it out of favor with those who could afford it. If they had let the free market work, GM would have been bought out by some stronger competitor. The brands they own are too ingrained in our psyche to die. Besides, with all the deals they have with other top manufacturers, there's no way that GM would have just died;

@foxymcgraw I had one and couldn't kill it. Didn't change the oil (or add oil) for two years and some farmer wanted to buy it off me.

[Manongjojo]

I remember this commercial. My favorite commercial is when he gets struck by lightning.LOL

The Trooper is the biggest piece of s&%t I have ever owned. Bad purchase. Damn near broke me.
