Toyota continues the country series of television commercials for the Hilux, following up the iconic “bugger” advertisements with Bulls Hit. Two black Angus bulls, catching a whiff of their female counterparts in the paddock over the hill, commandeer the farmer’s Toyota Hilux ute. “Hoof it!” They knock over the water trough and farmer, hoon through the sheep paddock, yelling abuse to the ‘sheep shagger’ ram, take a run through the hay barn to collect their hay. “It would be a bit rude to turn up empty handed!”
They come to a sudden halt. “What’s wrong?” “Cattle stop”. And so it’s over the side of the hill they go. “Hang on!” In true Toyota Hilux fashion they fall through midair, in a way that would make Barry Crump proud, to land beside the beloved heifers. “Afternoon ladies!” “Afternoon boys. Nice truck!” “Do you fancy a ride?” The ad finishes with the truck rocking in suggestive fashion.

See my earlier post on May 9, referring to the comments of HalfPie of Wellington on the relationship between Aussies and New Zealanders as expressed in this ad. Also see my post on Tony Williams as director of the Toyota Bugger TV Ads.
Is the ‘Bugger’ dog ad, an Australian ad or a New Zealand ad???
It was made for Kiwis and Aussies
I love that video
