Honda must really be trying to get the 80s kids. I recently saw a Honda commercial featuring the original Strawberry Shortcake (and friends). And just now I saw one with Jem! I'm excited at the idea that there might be a MLP one. At least I hope so!
You can find the commercials on YouTube by searching Honda and either Strawberry Shortcake or Jem.

funny story... I work at a Honda dealership and the new Honda Fit commercials have a local tie-in where the guy is related to someone at our dealership. At least I'm pretty sure he is. the email was sent ahead of the commercials so I don't remember the details.
I also have lots of ponies at work...everyone knows I loves my ponies. I didn't know they were doing 80'sish commercials! I saw Gumby and Pokey on some signage...I wonder if they'll do ponies. then I can pretend I had something to do with it...hahahaha
I need to go to YouTube and find these videos!!!

Strawberry shortcake sounds like Tara strong who voices twilight sparkle!

OMIGOODNRSsssss!
LOL
I can't stop laughing.... :lol:
the Strawberry Shortcake is EPIC!
-
Oh those are cool! I am now hoping for an MLP one as well! Considering how popular in culture, ponies are right now you would think its a possibility.
-
Even with the gimmicks I'm still a Mazda gal, LOL! Here's hoping to a pony commercial. :o) :Put a Soft Sleepy Newborn in a car seat in the back... ha ha

my cousin in law did the voice of Gumby and Pokey :) he does lots of anime and video game voices too - like Sasuke (Naruto) and teenage Ben Tennyson (Ben 10). I think he captures Gumby quite well :)
but Skeletor is my fav (I haven't told him yet lol)
-
I'm going to ask my boss tomorrow if they are going to make an MLP Commercial and if they need to borrow some ponies....

That's really neat to have that connection, Roogna!
-
the Skeletor one is the best!! My son would love a Skeletor toy... hmmmm
These are very cute commercials!
-
Love the SSC and the Jem one. These are awesome! :)
-

Pretty sure she voices her in the Hub cartoon.
-
Yeah I saw the Strawberry Shortcake one and was glued, it was neat.
-
I caught the tiniest glimpse of the Jem one on TV not long ago. I love the Skeletor one best. At least until the make a pony one. Come on, Honda, we NEED a MLP commercial!!!

Strawberry Shortcake's VA sounds a LOT like G3 Rarity. (Who is . . . also a G4 VA? I think?)
Are these pure CGI, or like stop motion with CGI added just to make it look like they're talking? If it's stop motion then they probably won't use ponies. No coincidence that most of these toys stretch or have joints, methinks!
-
Those are too cute and cleaver! Nice job Honda
-
Those are really cute and quite humorous. Too bad there aren't any MLP ones. =(
-
One word: AWESOME.
-
I'll add my vote for the Skeletor commercial being the best of this bunch too. Thanks for the links, I don't watch much TV so I never would've caught these otherwise!

Your cousin-in-law is Yuri Lowenthal?!
I'm 99% sure that Strawberry Shortcake is voiced by Tara Strong - when Tara gets up on a high pitch, she has certain...what's the word - twinges - in it? It's not bad, or anything, it just tends to give her away. Compare her to Bubbles, the Powerpuff girl. Pretty much the same. :)

yup :D he and my cousin Tara are awesome peeps!
they've also done a live action youtube series (which I won't post a link to b/c it has lots of language, especially in later seasons) called Shelf Life (where they are toys on a shelf).
