Think Hyundai, Think Baseball, Think The Nintendo Wii
Posted by Luke Plunkett at 7:30 PM on April 14, 2008
Local television commercial schtick, baseball, Wii Sports, Hyundais, Nissans, this ad for classy, up-market car dealership Hamilton Nissan has it all. Though I'm a little suspicious at the editing on that last sequence, with the "easy" home runs. I don't remember them being that easy, but then...ah, forget it, these guys are car salesmen, who are we to doubt their integrity?

They have a widescreen tv yet they put the aspect ratio to 4:3, but the wii supports 16:9 so uhh...
i'm sold, these guys know their stuff.

Good to see it took him about 4 games to hit 5 home runs. Good Job!

That's a fairly easy way to knock $800 of the price of car.
(I say $800 since we all know those last two pitches are rigged)

that's actually a really neat way to get customers in. Thumbs up from me.

Do you lose the money you've racked up if you kill the tv?

Damn. Can I maybe play a round of UT against their sales manager instead? $50 for every kill? $100 for every point below 0 he ends with? Can we make it an Audi instead?
I wish they would've had things like this when I was younger. Might have helped justify all that money my parents gave me to shut me up.
"Okay, son... time to make all those quarters pay off!"
But overall... seems pretty neat, even if in a gimmicky kinda sleezy way. Even better if people bring their kids to the lot to let 'em rack up the dollars.
At the very least, it's game-related on TV that isn't a stabbing, shooting, mugging, rape-simulator-claim, or JT... so at least there's that.

I love how they both keep their fingers pressed together like aliens, or mr. burns, or desperate car salesmen...

I'm ashamed to say this dealership is only 10miles from my home. They have the WORST weekend show on, lasts over 4hrs and contains the WORST acting. They're complete idiots but eh that may be a grand off a new ride :)

if you look at the screen after each HR the amount he hit changes.

@TOPolk:
The last two pitches, if you've gotten 8 in a row, come in faster so you have to start your swing a little earlier.
