Kia consistently produces some of the best automobiles and comes up with some of the best commercials to advertise them. Whether they feature well-known celebrities or dancing hamsters, over the years, the manufacturer has released some of the most amusing and laugh out loud commercials. Here are a few of the funniest.
Melissa McCarthy Saves The Environment
During the 2017 Super Bowl Kia released a commercial starring Melissa McCarthy trying to save the whales, rhinoceros, and the trees as she drives the environmentally friendly Kia Niro. The commercial, titled “Hero’s Journey,” was hysterical to watch as Melissa ran into trouble each time she tried to save something. She gets thrown across the ocean and into a ship as she tries to save the whales, and the look on her face is priceless when she hears the roar of a chain-saw as she hangs on high up in a tree. The commercial was so good it even earned the USA Today’s Super Bowl Ad Meter.
2017 Kia Soul Turbo
Kia introduced the Kia Soul Turbo in 2017 with a funny commercial featuring a newborn hamster that has turbo power. In this commercial, the baby hamster escapes from its crib and starts running through the hospital. The staff at the hospital starts chasing the little hamster who keeps getting into mischief and staying out of reach of the staff. The baby hamster makes its way outside where the rest of the hamster family arrives just in time in a Kia Soul Turbo. He jumps in the car and off they go. Motorhead’s song “Ace of Spades” plays throughout the whole commercial giving it the perfect sound.
Where Do Babies Come From
The 2013 Kia Sorento commercial “Where Do Babies Come From” is one of their funniest. Set partly on the fictional planet of Babylandia, the commercial shows all kinds of babies from dogs, elephants, boys, and girls making their way to Earth to join their families after their birth. All these babies are part of the story a father tells his son as he tries to explain where babies come from. As they ride down the road in their Kia Sorento, the son starts to suggest a different and more accurate account of where they come from, but the father quickly cuts him off by using the voice controls to start playing a kids song on the radio.
Totally Transformed
The transformed Kia Soul is just one of the stars of the 2014 “Totally Transformed” commercial featuring the Kia hamsters. Viewers see the hamsters working out and exercising through the whole commercial while Lady Gaga’s “Applause” plays. In the end, the three hamsters get out of the redesigned Soul, and they have a whole new look too. Instead of the chubby hamsters with their baggy clothing, we see three slim and buff hamsters dressed in black tuxedos strutting down the red carpet.
Kia’s funny commercials are always highly anticipated each year, and they never disappoint. From funny hamsters to sports figures and celebrities, you can always count on a good laugh when the manufacturer debuts a new ad.
