Just a little modern day trivia for you today…
I’m sure by now everyone has seen this commercial! A child’s toys left in the car overnight, take a “Joy Ride”. Originally aired on the Super Bowl.
Kia actually got the top wave runner rider in the country to do the stunts in the sock monkey suit.
And, here is sweet Sock Monkey sporting his new tattoo. One of the most clever parts of the commercial is the ‘sewing on’ of his new tattoo! Just look at those innocent eyes!
Also clever is having the robot doing a dance called….’the robot’, of course!
The funky music is “How You Like Me Now?” by The Heavy…originally by James Brown.
Lyrics used in the commercial
How you like me now?
Remember the time when I heat? you up?
So how you like me now?
How you like me now?
how you like me now?
Oh yes-ah
Yeah
Description
A colorful group of characters have some fun in Las Vegas in a montage that takes them bowling, bull riding, dancing, and more.
The red cyclops is Muno, a character from the Nick Jr. kid’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! The other characters in the ad include a hairy creature with a black & white striped shirt, a blue robot, a sock puppet monkey, and a teddy bear.
The group all fits into the 2011 Kia Sorento, and rides around some scenic locations. Some other adventures they have include: jet skiing, making snow angels, hot-tubbing with a bikini girl, getting a ‘MOM’ tattoo (actually sewed on), standing by the Las Vegas sign, riding down the street standing up through the sunroof, passing by the New York, New York casino, and arriving at the Monte Carlo casino.
The punchline to the ad is all the characters are a child’s small toys. The mom pushes the Start button and the music starts up again.

I know it is hard to believe, but, I just do not know how to get those videos on my posts. Well, that’s not exactly correct. I can get them on there…I just can’t get them to play! Which actually defeats the purpose of putting them on there in the first place!!! BUT, if you wish to see the complete commercial, one minute and 11 seconds…just google Kia Sorento Commercial.
And prepare to SMILE!!!
WOW! Ian did a GREAT job!! LOVE it!!!! Please tell me, do you lose your followers, or does that transfer over too?
So, does this mean the OLD Gatherings will bite the dust? Should I "delete" it from my follow list?
Everything here looks great!
It's great! I must confess to being a bit jealous that I have no children who are interested in blogging or helping me blog!
