Where's the part showing us the power of a stock FR-S? All I saw were jackasses making bad jokes and hamming for the camera.

It might have been fun to see Ken actually driving the car, but they covered him up with a video insert with links to other unfunny videos by these amateur comedians. And the few shots outside the car while Ken was drifting were apparently shot by Michael J. Fox.

I wonder if he had the traction control completely off.

Why is 90% of this video interior shots? Sigh.

Oh my god those people were annoying.

Because this is a Rooster Teeth video in a Scion FR-S promotion, aka Scion paid them to do this bit in the FR-S. They do a weekly recap, this one just happened to be sponsored by Scion.

Check out RoosterTeeth.com, these are the same people who have brought us Red vs. Blue and some other good videos. Granted, if you don't like gaming, you wont like it, but that's not really my concern.

Do they make videos about gaming that have the footage from the actual game covered by video inserts linking to their other bad videos?

Jason@DSG · 04-14-2014, 01:19 PM

ah you can't get too hung up on the cheesy hosts, I'm sure Ken had a good time scaring the shit out of them though haha

Considering this is a "Weekly Recap" video, I'm going to go with "no."

How's life under that bridge, anyways?

Saw this last night and hesitated posting it, I love Roosterteeth and I genuinely like all the 'annoying' people in the video but the recaps were always of limited enjoyment to me.

This isn't meant to appeal to the people on this forum, it's meant to show off to a kid who isn't into cars but might be after this, a couple youtube videos and a top gear review later they've got a potential buyer, or realistically a couple thousand people who would have been happy with second hand Accords their entire life maybe taking an interest in fun cars.

Also a decent rebuttal to all the armchair quarterbacks saying this car is less sporty than a V6 Camry, but we had plenty of those already.

Edit: Here's one of the videos that was linked, it was made by the white guy with the scraggly beard, not their best but worth the minute and a half:

All right, that was pretty good. And hearing their voices, I realized that these are the same people who made the infamous Surgeon Simulator video, which had me rolling.

But there's still no getting around how much that FR-S video sucked.

This is actually better.
