Yeah, VW has had some good commercials over the year.  Especially the one for the Scirocco TDI in the UK ;)

is that the one where the terrorist blew himself up inside the car?

I loved the one with the kid dressed as darth vader who finally uses the force to start his dad's VW (thanks to a remote starter).

This one ;)


Though I thought the terrorist one was clever, I think they pulled it because of public uproar.

I find the Geico sushi commercial hilarious.

And this is coming from someone who's owned fish for many, many years.

When I was a wee lad, I had a humongous goldfish that lived to be six years old.

That bowl must have been getting a bit tight around the pectorals.

We had two goldfish that lived for 10 years.  They were enormous and died within two weeks of each other.

I've had a goldfish I won at a carnival and is over seven years old now.

Sure its not a big commitment to being a fish owner, but Flipper is awesome.

They'll last a long time in a pond, assuming it's protected against herons or other predators.

so has Aaron Rodgers given up his signature touchdown move?  I'm guessing fans are going to be yelling "discount double-check" for a while now when he throws a TD.

My parents had three goldfish that were 17 years old and going strong until my dads garage got struck by lightning and they wound up boiled as a result...

The Aaron Rodgers discount double check and the JLo Fiat commercial.

In fact, the JLo commercial bothers me so much, I will never buy a Fiat.

I wouldn't get a 500, but the Bravo looks nice IMO, if they ever bring that over.

If my girlfriend gave me a Lexus for Christmas, my first response would be "Who the freak is making that payment?"  :)

Or perhaps "WHAT THE freak DID YOU DO?"  But then again I just have a distrusting nature :P

Those JLo Fiat commercials where she is driving around the Bronx. You know damn well that JLo don't drive no Fiat. The only thing that would make that commercial better is if they played "Jenny from the block" while she drove around.  :lol:
