It started out innocently enough. The driver did a great job avoiding the innocent little deer chilling haphazardly in the street.
Then it got interesting. I couldn't quite tell what I was looking at, then imagine my surprise when Alice Cooper was in crouching in the middle of the road holding a snake. Okay, that was a little random, but I guess that's pretty funny...what could possibly be next?Of course the climax came when we saw Richard Simmons doing exercise in the middle of the street. My first instinct was to scream the exact action the driver took. "Punch It!
This commercial would have been glorious if Richard Simmon's little scream had occurred while his body tumbled through the air like a video game character in a game that employed rag doll physics.
No such luck. We still got a scream, but Richard Simmons survived the experience. I think it was a great commercial nonetheless.

In most of the rest of the world, the spot could have ended with Richard Simmons's scream. In the U.S., unfortunately, Bridgestone would either have been boycotted out of the market or sued into bankruptcy by the next pedestrian struck by a car with Bridgestone tires -- if not the driver of that car.

This is an interesting theme, somewhat disliked celebrities, and self-deprecating humor. See the Geico commericial with Joan Rivers? "This face has seen more knives than a Benihanna!"

I liked this scream commercial more than the other Bridgestone commercial.
