He's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And he's sellin' like he's never sold before
He's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And he's sellin' like he's never sold before
Sellin' like he's never sold before
Sellin' like he's never sold before
He's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And he's sellin' like he's never sold before
He's a maniac, maniac

The kiafest comercial is so good that I find myself searching or waiting for it.
The dancer in the kiafest commercial is brilliant in his portrayal of the EVERY MAN. He manages to be funny, nerdy, and SEXY all at the same time. I LOVE him. but I have a question. Is the guy who dives over the car and then lands in the chair to get dosed with water the same man that dances in the beginning? The man wet in th chair seens a lot slimmer and in better shape. Did they use a double for that part? Has anyone else notice? All in all it is an enjoyably funny commercial

YOUR ARE ADVERSTISING ON NATIONAL TELIVISION. THAT COMMERCIAL IS DISGUSTING AND HIGHLY OFFENSIVE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IF YOU WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO GAY PEOPLE DO IT ON THE GAY NETWORK WHATEVER, BUT NOT WHERE A FAMILY IS SITTING TOGETHER IN THEIR LIVING ROOM WATCHING TV. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL. AS YOU CAN TELL FROM THE COMMENTS ABOVE, ONLY THE GAYS APPRECIATE IT.
Now look, I know some of you are EXTREMELY homophobic and can't handle to even see another human beings fully clothed butt even for a second, but let me ask you a question. Are you SURE you're not gay? No seroiusly, stop and think. Were you abused by a uncle? By your dad? Did some guy touch you the wrong way? Your priest maybe? I've noticed that people who are extremely homophobic are trying to hide the fact that they are gay from themselves. Sure you may go around thinking all is good, but deep down, in your subconcious, you know you are gay. It's just a funny commercial with a fully clothed guy and you act like the world is going to end, while you are probably jerking off to material much worse. I am shaming the collective lot of you.

I'm a straight female and think this guy dancing is incredibly sexy without being offensive.
Whats wrong with you people??
1. People who did not achieve the age of 10 at any point in the 1980s should not be making advertising decisions about what should be in a commercial. The 80s were the terrible. TERRIBLE.
2. What the heck does this commercial have to do with the product? If I go into a kia dealership, and a dude is going to flip around all sweaty and unattractive, trying to sell me like a "maniac" I am going to buy anything that is NOT a kia.
3. Why do the people in the commercial just take the keys like this is completely normal behavior?
Everyone who is in, approved, or enjoyed this commercial clearly needs shock therapy. It's for their own good.
this is the most disgusting commercial i have ever seen!
What does an idiot who acts like elvis on steriods have to do with selling a puddle jumper which is garbage to start with?
This jerk has the i.q of a piece of pine!
Its just more corruption on tv THAT WE DO NOT NEED!
idiots.
Hello,
Do you know what's the worst part of watching Euro2008 is? Watching your favorite teams lose? Watching the dives? Watching the stupid hairbands some of the players wear? Watching some of the stupid things players do with their fingers while celebrating their goals?
No.
It's the stupid Kia commercials! It's having to see that chubby moron do his Flashdance imitation. I have to mute or change the channel each and every time that idiot does his Flashdance trying to sell crappy Korean cars that look like they were built in the 60's! Bring back the Kia commercial with that slutty policewoman fornicating in a Kia with the motorist she had just pulled over. Ha ha ha!
Korean cars = crap.
Maybe one day they will be good cars providing there are actually good dealers who honor the warranties. Look at Samsung. They were crap when they first came out. Now they're very good. But now, I just laugh at anyone driving a Korean made car! Oh yeah! You're cool because you paid less for a piece of crap car that no dealer will stand behind and which has absolutely no resale value.

The Psychiatric Association are certainly considering further action.
