"The bad guys are expecting me to be in a fighter jet, not a mid-sized sedan." Says Blake Griffin, NBA partner of KIA and not a pilot. Very silly. "You don't have to keep saying over." Problem is there's two spots here. There's the "misdirect" spot and there's the "fake commercial" spot. I wish they'd stuck with the former. Besides being weirder they could have taken the joke to weirder places with more catch phrases. Like "copy that," and "boots on the ground." Either way, at least Kia Optima is trying to compete on humor.
