Hahahaha, oh man - that is so bad.
That's a disgrace to Transformers AND RUN DMC!
(The song copied/used is "Sucker MCs" by RUN DMC).
Ehhh, I give 'em credit for using a great, classic song, though.

And ironically, there weren't any actual safe driving tips in the song. At least those G2 commercials' rap songs conveyed something about the toys, meaning this makes 1994 look doubly good in hindsight. Now THAT's brutal...

It's obviously just some troll pretending to be the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Successful troll is successful!

This comes as no surprise, as it is a known-unknown-known fact that the state of Ohio, sucks.

I would be embarrassed seeing this commercial on TV, even if I had no idea what a Transformer is. All they would have to do to raise this from a 0% Rotten to a 100% Fresh status would be getting a decent voice actor who could sound like Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime. That would be entertaining. The guy rapping, though, sounds bored with it.

Why didn't I stop 5 seconds in like some other people? That was horrible. Ohio, I feel sorry for you.
...Wouldn't it had been ironic if Botcon had ended up going there this year?

Good Lord... if you're producing something that's going on TV, at least try to plan out what you're going to say. Some bored jackwagon's lame free-styling is hardly a responsible use for tax dollars.
But this - this goes past "so bad, it's good," and comes all the way back around to "really bad" again.

So much hate...
I admit it was a little corny, but if it would have been some rock song with guitars you guys would have loved it. Im glad rap/hip hop culture has leaked it's way into the Transformers community little by little. Time to make this hobby unbiased...

Ya, I admit, I'm not a rap guy. I've never really liked any rap. That being said though, I thought I knew it enough to know that was bad.
I'll trust you're opinion that it was corny, but not horrible. Not to say I'll like it, but I'll trust you.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not biased against it other music at all. (and that's a serious stereotype to just throw out there like that, by the way) I love the heck outta old-school hip-hop, and if this spot had anything resembling old-school hip-hop, I'd be on it like white on rice. So, maybe if Jam Master Jay's grouchy neighbor who sits on his porch and yells at kids all day was in desperate need of a Red Bull, he might kind of sound like the dude that's "rapping" in this commercial. Of course, it would have also helped if they had made a minimal attempt to match the animation with the words... 15 Million kids on YouTube can do it, I'm sure at least five of them live in Ohio.
Ooh, you know what else would make for a good commercial? Having the audio sound like it was recorded somewhere other than underneath a bathroom sink.
On the other hand, maybe it just needed rock guitars.
