Prepare to Get Annihilated!

March 1st, 2009

This video has absolutely no redeeming value except for its (unintentional) humor.  Monster truck commercials like this are fairly common back where I come from -- sort of a genre of commercials unto its own -- and when I saw this on-line, I was amazed by how accurate the stereotypes of these commercials can be:  "Sunday!!!  Sunday!!!  Sunday!!!"... free can of Natural Light (super-cheap American beer) to the first 100 people... sponsored by Bass Pro Shops and Wal-mart...

It's classic stuff.

My favorite part, though, is to hear the names of the monster trucks in the rally.  One of the three definitely doesn't fit in.  Give it a look (it's only 30 seconds) and see what you think...
