Poor Jorge - typecast as the window washer. Looks like Colin really liked his job, though.

Now that I think of it, that was kind of racist to make him the sanitation guy.

What they should have done - have all four of them working at a Yamaha dealership. One at the parts counter, a couple of them back in the shop getting their hands dirty working on bikes, and Colin out on the sales floor giving the hard sell to a customer.

I think we could either accuse Yamaha of monumental ethnic insensitivity or credit them with a brilliant piece of satire on our country's immigration and employment policies.

It's in the eye of the beholder...

Wasn't that a line from a Marx Bros. movie?

Man: Are you a man or a mouse?
Groucho: Put a piece of cheese on the floor and you'll find out.

i don't think that was racist. Jorge is from Spain, not Mexico. the only thing they have in common is the language. it was just damn funny

It was written well but the reason it works is because those dudes get it.
