For one, the implication that parents should buy cars based on what will make their kids popular and "cool". Really? I normally don't mind car commercials that suggest getting the car will make you seem cooler, but the Highlander commercials with the kid piss me off to no end.
Meanwhile, a sad kid sits in the back of an older car while his parents sing. Basically this smug little bastard sits in his parents Highlander and talks about how he and his parents are so cool because of it. Blackbird Mizu: Those Toyota Highlander commercials with the little kid.Hope that little girl in that ad enjoys her new dead goldfish. I guess the proper transportation of pet fish isn't a concern for the commercial makers at Kia. Not to mention that the fish was kept in only a plastic bag and secured in a seat belt, which should've ruptured giving how the guy was driving and how the bag was moving back and forth so violently. Even if the car is safe for humans, zooming around at high speeds is going to be extremely stressful for the fish. Fish are very delicate creatures and must be transported carefully. fluffything: Even if the gesture of the husband replacing the goldfish were merely an act of genuine concern of not wanting his daughter heartbroken, the way he went about doing it is one of the worst ways possible.
The water has to be the same temperature or the poor fish will die of shock.

Time Traveler Jessica: Plus this fish is going to die too - there's a reason you're supposed to put the bag in the bowl for a while.Deliberately Blunt, lyricised rendition of the William Tell Overture aside, this commercial reads to this troper as: "Have you purchased our shiny, reliable new car? Congratulations! Pets are disposable again, all the while replaceable with your children being none the wiser!" Black comedy parenting dressed in classical oeuvre at its most skewed. Mystic Eclectic: From a Kia Cars Commercial: a father rushes home, with the journey ending with him placing a goldfish in an empty bowl a split second before his young daughter enters and greets her pet, with silent commendation from his wife.
