\nWhere there’s funny to be found, you can count on Jon Stewart to find it. The much-loved host of news parody program The Daily Show<\/em> has proven a knack for exposing the humorous side of whatever’s happening in the news, and lately, well…that’s been Toyota<\/a> and its two recalls<\/a>. So it was only a matter of time until his Comedy Central crew took a good-natured jab at the world’s largest automaker in its most difficult time.<\/p>\n In the video after the jump, you’ll find Stewart and his troop noting the overwhelming irony behind Toyota’s unstoppable acceleration in the marketplace, the explosive flip-side of its superior gas mileage, company president Akio Toyoda’s use of an Audi wagon in Switzerland, and, of course, what this means for Detroit’s Big 3 automakers. Set aside five minutes, put a handful of Fritos in your mouth and watch the “Toyotathon of Death.” Bonus: David Letterman also took a swing at Toyota on the Late Show. Watch both funnymen ply their craft at Toyota’s expense after the jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n [Source: The Daily Show<\/a>]<\/p>\n Continue reading Video: The Daily Show<\/i> leads off with “Toyotathon of Death”<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Video: The Daily Show<\/i> leads off with “Toyotathon of Death”<\/a> originally appeared on Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:28:00 EST.
