[sheik yerbouty]

It's a great ad!

[nuffsenuff]

The radio ones are hysterical too.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Ping for home.

[LilDarlin]

It's a great ad!

They would have been better served to have spent a good deal of the advertising budget on their vehicle.

It needs a lot of work...quality is poor.

[PatriotCJC]

Funny Ad! That is the guy from Armageddon (Russian Astronaut)

[SuziQ]

LOL!! Saw one last night when we were watching "24". We DVR the show, and usually speed through the commercials, but something in the beginning of that one caught our eyes. It was quite funny!

[MNlurker]

Am I correct in thinking he's one of the nihilists from "The Big Lebowski"?

[SuziQ]

That is the guy from Armageddon (Russian Astronaut)

That's one of the reasons it caught our eye. We'd just watched Armageddon, or at least parts of it, the night before, so we recognized him.

[PatriotCJC]

I believe so

[Petronski]

Vee-dub, in da haus!

[PatriotCJC]

Oh I get it "Big Lebowski" = Bowling = MNlurker LOL

[Lx]

He's also the eye doctor from Minority Report.

[Petronski]

Yep. This role is something of a reprise.

[Shalom Israel]

So their target market is fags now?

[MNlurker]

I did nearly spit up my beer last night when he flashed the VW sign with his hands...

[Petronski]

Representing Deutschland...

[MNlurker]

I do have my own bowling ball, but its been sitting in my linen closet going on 2 years!!

Plus I don't drink White Russians.

[1rudeboy]

Classic. Love the one with the trebuchet.

"Time to un-pimp za auto." LOL

[Petronski]

MNLurker abides.

[Rummyfan]

Peter Stormare... No one plays Euro-trash like him! The commercial is a take-off on his role in MINORITY REPORT....

[sheik yerbouty]

In this ad, a giant doofus..

[Blackirish]

He was the bad guy in the movie 8 millimeter and also in the series Prison break

[wardaddy]

I loathe pimped up factory rides (or any others for that matter)

they look like toys and when mr baggy pants gets out of the car with hat sideways...ugh

i think Travis Barker....what a wanker....

[sheik yerbouty]

I prefer my present ride anyhow..

[Wolfie]

All I can think of when I see it is that guy shoving Steve Buscemi into a wood chipper in "Fargo".

[Petronski]

The commercial is a take-off on his role in MINORITY REPORT....

I think it's a take-off on his role in THE BIG LEBOWSKI.

Nihilists! F*** me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[Huck]

Very funny. Thanks.

[Rummyfan]

He turns up in a lot of flicks in character roles. Even on SEINFELD once....

[Petronski]

Crazy Joe Devolla?

[jamz]

He's also Lucifer from "Constantine".

[Wolfie]

The milk drinking accomplice to the Great Frogger Caper.

[Rummyfan]

No, one of the henchmen when George Costanza bought the frogger machine. He had to steal a battery....

[The Dude Abides]

He'll cut off your Johnson.

[Petronski]

Ah yes, Frogger. I remember now.

[Centurion2000]

bump

[JWinNC]

darned funny commercials

[cripplecreek]

Ya

[TXnMA]

I haven't seen these particular ads yet, but I'd like to know what that little, squat,black plastic "critter" in the VW olympics ads represents...

WTH is that thing?

[Conservomax]

Peter Stormare is great, when I see him all I hear is

Unguent!

[finnman69]

[BureaucratusMaximus]

LMAO! "Its definitely sucking!"

Wow...my thoughts put into action in a commercial...thats great TV!

I'd almost buy a VW simply because of this marketing.

[JWinNC]

and the chick is hot too :)

[Sundog]

These are fabulous commercials.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

and the chick is hot too :)

Yeah, I know...its like icing on the cake. The Perfect commercial.

Maybe there is hope for this world.

[The KG9 Kid]

Who is the blonde girl? Good Lord.

[Betis70]

I'm wondering how you know this? The GTI just came to the US in Janurary, but it has been in Europe and Asia for a year and a half, and there haven't been many

Every test I've read said it had much better quality than the previous GTI. I sat in one two weekends ago and it had a much nicer interior design as well. Other than the new Mustang, I don't think there is another new car I'd consider buying.

[1rudeboy]

I saw her first. Back off.

[Betis70]

>>there haven't been many

Should read "there haven't been many complaints."
