Wacky Races (1968 TV series) In 2006, the car manufacturer Vauxhall launched a TV commercial for the British market, parodying "Wacky Races" with a similar setup featuring Corsa cars. The commercial made several references to the cartoon as well as utilizing the show's theme music and Muttley's iconic laugh.
