They should have secretly loaded the trunk with dynamite…
I guess British hipsters have easier access to those cool old Penguin paperbacks.
Or maybe the hipster joke is still cutting edge in Britain and not played out/dated like it is here?
Granted, a certain Kia dealer in town has these horribly dated radio commercials with an Austin Powers imitator, so it isn’t like we Americans are any more cutting edge.
Godard ? They are hipsters. Yet what self-respecting hipster would spend their parents money on a car, when you can ride an alpaca non-ironically to their co-op?
Portland is solely to blame.
I hate everything about that.
At least we know that hipsterism is about to die. When jaded ad men finally catch on to something and think a general audience will recognize it, it’s already over.
It’s not precisely “self-recognition” is it? I mean, the ad is clearly poking fun at the hipster aesthetic stereotype. We’re all very much aware that those people are not us, therefore open to mockery. Wait… this is the Mercury after all…
Phh. The Japanese version of this ad is so much cooler.
These hipsters appear to be of an Australian vintage, for the record.
@PaulV:
You are correct, but I have also been having to read posts just like yours since at least 2003. (and mine since about 2005). It is getting quite tiring.
As per @Atomic, I went to youtube and it is from hondaaustralia. This changes everything, it means that Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney are finally getting their due after being overshadowed by Portland and Williamsburg for so long.
Are they implying that hipsters have the characteristics of clowns entering and exiting small cars? Well I agree, I guess they are clown-like in at least that respect.
Did Honda really call that car the Jizz ?
The human extinction project hopes that the hipsters stay on their Fixies that cost much more than that Honda and have a higher death rate.
And Emos if you cut along instead of across you will succeed.
WTF? So glad I’m not a hipster. Too much pressure. =p
@Rosy – combine hipster on a fixie with about 8 PBRs and listening to their iPod, and you have a good chance to cut down the gene pool.
American Spirits don’t do their work until about 25 years down the road, when the hipster may have reproduced.
