Kia Optima Gets Compared to a Pair of Socks in Bizarre Super Bowl Ad
Kia has unveiled its 2016 Super Bowl commercial starring Christopher Walken.
The commercial starts off innocent enough, with a gentleman named Richard asking his wife where his beige socks are. Playing off the idea of a boring, beige “walk-in” closet, Walken talks about how beige socks are uninspired and asks whether Richard wants to just blend in through life like beige socks or wants to have some pizzazz. Walken then reveals the new Kia Optima, saying that it’s like “the world’s most exciting pair of socks.”
