Engineering on ze German tip! Productfilter? Why yes! But I had to throw this out. These new VW ads are funny as hell. The added bonus of random character actor Peter Stormare throwing out bon mots like "drop it like it's hot" in his random, not quite German, not quite Swedish accent just makes them that much funnier. I think these ads are great for extracting the Michael out of all those people that add dumb stuff to their autos.

  • I just wanna know who the chick is. Hubba hubba.
  • V W R O O L S
  • Howza bout dis? Volkswagen GX3
  • That's just what i need, some kinda badass tricycle.
  • I certainly like these ads a heckuva lot better than the ones with the "fast" monster thingy in them. Stupid ad.
  • I really didn't know what to make of these ads before I realized that it was Peter Stormare in the lead role, which was a "CLICK" received a few days ago. Now every time I see one, I am both relatively amused by the commercial, as it should be, and completely irritated by how much I hated Stormare's performance in The Brothers Grimm. "German engineering in the haus, ja!"
  • They were good fun, but I'm a sucker for anything with a trebuchet in.
  • I wasn't too impressed by Stormare's performance in The Brothers Grimm, but I suspect he got cast in these commercials on the strength of his German character in The Big Lebowski, which is truly a classic of modern cinema. "... or ve'll cot off your CHOHNSON!"
  • we wants the money lebowski, we believe in nothing cracking ads
  • He fixes the cable?
  • Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
  • Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
  • Talking of Germany, I've just been cast as Arturo Ui in my theatre's production of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, to be performed this June. Yes! Did it! Crowbarred a self-link in! Am I a bad person?
  • *stands up, throws coffee mug at muteboy's head*
  • I mean, congratulations!
  • It would appear that muteboy is neither.
  • Stormare is the shit. Lebowski was, and is, the shit. Ergo, these commercials? ...The Shit.
  • and chy, if you "design your own" on the VW website, you can take a test drive with the chick.
  • Medic! Congratulations kid! Don't worry it's gonna be okay . . .
  • I'm just waiting for the one where he declares, "Ve believe in nothink!"
  • This is what happens when you... invoke Godwin's Law by suggesting that someone fuck Hitler - who is both strange and "a stranger" - in the ass. (ooh, saucy! or rather, ewwww. but i'm trying to be a nihilist, here.)
  • Nice marmot.
