I don't think I saw it on TV. I think I tripped across it by accident several years ago.
Being stuck in the mud will make an impression on many levels.

It is a really really hot scene in my oppinion. First, the car is very cute, then the way he tries to drive out, revving, then a bit spinning, then nervous gear shifting, but the wheels are only spinning
If I would be controlling the roots, I would only hold on to the car so he is struggling as long as possible. Maybe playing with him a bit, letting go for an inch or two, then pulling the car back, while he is flooring... It would have been also awesome to stall the engine through the tail pipe, I am sure that car has an awesome cranking sound
@slippingsliding Ikr? That would’ve been awesome if it stalled out
It might’ve been what the tendrils were going for; after they wrapped around his car and started probing its tailpipe, the engine started sounding rough like it was about to cut off
@xavier-b Then he would try to rev up the car nervously, playing against the odds, but at the end it would stall on him Poor poor guy
