Maaco's Las Vegas Bowl Ad Was As Shoddy As One Of Their Paint Jobs

Maaco—best known as the place to get your stolen ride resprayed on the cheap—is your of-late title sponsor for the Las Vegas Bowl (née California Raisin Bowl) and, owing to this honor, had prime advertising space early in the game's ESPN broadcast.

Unfortunately, the quality of the spot was as awful as the usual service you'd get at Maaco. Every participant appears to be under duress; it's a PR-vid-as-hostage-film and, at times, not as funny as it is uncomfortable. When you think of Las Vegas, the glitz and glamor of the strip come to mind; Maaco's ad is more the Western Inn on the dangerous outskirts of downtown.
