Day Rider Puts Unimpressive Spin on Knight Rider

Ugh. We’re not sure what Carsguide was thinking when they agreed to launch this campaign by Cummins and Partners out of Melbourne.

Animated by Firehorse Films, the guys who did bro’Town (NZ’s response to Family Guy), this film, called Day Rider, is a kitsch-ridden, awkward spoof on the ’80’s series Knight Rider. Naturally the car becomes the protagonist’s worst enemy.

Because for some odd reason watching an ’80’s hoopty go bad will inspire you to possess one of your own, Carsguide ties the campaign in with an opportunity to win an ’84 TransAm.

We’re trying to think of more mean things to say but we’re too sleepy and bored, so we’ll just move on now.
