Wow. They really pissed some people off. I was googling for the Toyota commercials (never seen it) and all I could find is hate blogs/posts. Wow. They really pissed some people off.

I never saw that specific one, but I bet they're behind it. Either I just didn't see it or it's an alternate that they filmed and didn't air. My money is on Toyota commercial as well.

Somebody didn't do his job, there is no accidents on the sea.

The horn, the gulls, the splash.

They had a series with people purposely destroying their trucks so they could get a new one. Looks like these guys filmed them filming the commercial. Notice they guy standing right next to the truck could care less about it falling off. I'm pretty sure this is an old toyota commercial.

I saw it last year as a toyota-thon commercial. Others like it include a family pushing a boulder off onto their car and an I-beam dropped onto a truck by the owner.

Looks like an out take, and, if you watch, the guy doesn't start walking away until he sees for sure that the rope is tightening. Have none of you seen the Toyota commercial where this happens?

This is not real. The horn gives it away. There's no need to sound a horn in the first place, but a ferry like that would not have a horn that loud. There's no where for the sound to come from. Secondly, the fellas talking in the video aren't very convincing. Nah! This is not real. The horn gives it away.

"What Happens Next?" to appear on the screen... yeah, i also thought it was weird that the person close to the truck just kept on walking even though im sure he would have heard the sound of the rail breaking... 99% sure this is just a fake... or even part of a commercial to sell you insurance... i was almost expecting the words...

The people on the ferry sure are calm... another viral video? Kind of coincidental that they stood there filming too, and the birds... heh.
