Cute!
This is the best car Ad ever)))
Just another hapless kid suckered into belief in the supernatural. It’s practically criminal.
Its sad to see how low George Lucas has stooped to make a few extra bucks from the star wars franchise, by authorizing this kind of tripe.
First the Ewok-teddy bears, next JarJar, and now this.
@ #3;
Oh, give me a break. Do you really think George Lucas came up with this commercial idea? Not likely. VW has an idea and Lucas may get a little money for use of Darth Vader.
John Williams probably got more money for use of not one, but two of his songs.
I’ve seen better stuff on youtube and this was a high dollar Super Bowl commercial?
And I give you… the President of the United States of America, 2032!
No contest, the cute blond getting nailed in the head with a Pepsi can was way better.
No No No, I loved the parking monkeys. Man I swear they are real. Why can’t people park IN BETWEEN parking line spaces????!!!
Agreed. This was the best one.
The VW was cute, but ultimately touted a feature available on any car. No sale for VW.
It was cute, but why should I buy VW because of this? Are they flaunting that VW now has remote start? Cute, but no point. I too like the pepsi ad with corked blond. Pepsi Max, you can take out a dumb blond with one. Very helpful.
#7 Agreed, the Doritos/Pespsi ads were outstanding.
#11:
“It was cute, but why should I buy VW because of this?”
You’re missing the point of modern advertising.
Notice what company we’re all talking about right now…?
I guess it did not work for many but I liked the “Tommy” Chevy Silverado add I’m not a big fan of big trucks and have never owned a Chevy but the the Tommy Silverado/Timmy Lassie spoof worked for me.
I liked little Anakin Vader… “Use the Remote, Luke.”
I didn’t watch the Superbowl, so I didn’t see the commercials during the game. It was kinda cool that the Pack is Back, though.
So remote starting a car leads to the dark side. Wow where do all those human sacrifices lead me? Cute though.
A child dressed as a fictional character based on the image of Adolf Hitler for a commercial of a car company founded by the German Labour Front, the Nazi trade union, and got its name from Adolf Hitler himself…
…has it gone full circle?
