Holy shit! Okay, here is yet another instance where Polysics literally steals stuff from DEVO. Polysics released a number of singles with the band on scooters (coincidence? Yeah right).

Seriously, it’s cool that Polysics are so inspired by DEVO, but come on! They could at least try to come up with just ONE idea of their own.

“Did the Honda execs … realise the satirical nature of the message?”

Maybe, maybe not.

But it’s still a great commercial.

And, Devo would be laughing all the way to the bank just like “Bob.”

Did the Honda execs, after viewing the advert, even realise the satirical nature of the message?

dumpsky March 10, 2010 at 3:13 am

The one the Devo guys are on is the ‘85-’86 Elite 150 Deluxe (CH150). The only scooter ever with a pop up headlight!

I like the slogan: they are everything but ordinary.^-^
