I promise, no more phone pictures after this.

Anyway, I’ve been noticing Honda’s seemingly newfound advertising talent. They’ve been pushing the new Civic like crazy, of course (even the months-away Si), but what I am even more impressed by are the recent set of spots for the updated Honda Element. They’ve added a new trim level that makes it resemble a baby Hummer even more.

But rather than doing a straightforward, smack-you-in-the-face type of ad that shouts “body-colored panels” they’ve developed some very irreverent and memorable commercials in which the shiny new Element has a brief chat with its various wilderness friends. See them here (thanks to BoardsMag):

Also, Cow and Chicken is on. That’s… weird.
