I did not realize this.Truckers sometimes chain or tie stuffed animals to the front of their trucks. I wouldn't say it's super common, but not unusual either. I've seen it several times. If you search the internet for why, you will get a bunch of different answers. Some about warding off evil spirits that cause accidents.
I guess the point of the commercial is that the stuffed animal would rather be in a Mercedes than tied to the front of a truck. Kind of a weird way to go with a commercial.
The stuffed animal appeared to escape the chains and walk away before it froze in place. Are you not concerned about the bunny's wellbeing?the thing that pisses me off about that commercial is they show the happy spoiled rich kid with a new stuffed animal in their Mercedes. They don't show the trucker who just pulled into a truck stop in Dubuque trying to figure out where the hell his stuffed animal that he keeps for good luck went. Or maybe his kid gave it to him. Or maybe his wife's name is Bunny.
Like that kid's parents can't afford to buy the kid a stuffed animal but they can afford a new Mercedes. Meanwhile the poor trucker is hoping Wendy's is open so he doesn't have to settle for Slim Jims and microwave burritos again.
I'm concerned that any parent (let alone one driving a Mercedes) would let their kid pick up, play with and cuddle a filthy, wet stuffed animal lying in a parking lot ,with an unknown history, showing no concern for the kid's wellbeing.The stuffed animal appeared to escape the chains and walk away before it froze in place.

This was my thought as well. First thought, "get that nasty flea infested varmint away from your face! The hells the matter with you?!"I'm concerned that any parent (let alone one driving a Mercedes) would let their kid pick up, play with and cuddle a filthy, wet stuffed animal lying in a parking lot ,with an unknown history, showing no concern for the kid's wellbeing.
I have not paid attention to the whole commercial, but I thought it was a parody of toy story. At the end of Toy Story 3 the bad toy gets tied up to a truck as an ornament.I keep seeing this ad for Mercedes.
Is that supposed to be a bunny, and why is it chained to the front of a semi?
Does anyone understand what they’re getting at?
Or the girl, with bunny driving the SUV over her parents mangled remains.WDIK2 said:They should have showed the Mercedes driving away with the sad-faced bunny chained to the front grill.
SNL did a parody of December to remember commercials last night.Honestly, many car commercials seem to be substance-fueled fantasies, and sometimes disturbing. I've been scratching my head at the big red bows on December Lexuses for years. To say nothing of the whole idea of giving a car as a surprise gift.
