1. good stuff, shame about the Eclipse

:-)

[tatertop]

2. German engineering in da house, y'all, representin' Deutschland.

Those commercials are very addictive.

[dysfunctional press]

5. both of our last two vw's had "hecho en mexico" stamped in the doorframe-

so much for deutschland uber alles.

[AmericanErrorist]

3. I fear it may be offensive to Germans

but, since they're VW ads, they apparently slip through the loophole that says people can make jokes about their own race.

Given that, they're great.

[dysfunctional press]

4. peter stormare is swedish...

and screw people that can't take a joke- just about everything funny can be construed as offensive by someone.

[Kellanved]

15. Why should it be offensive?

:shrug:

[kwassa]

6. I like the white trebuchet tossing the car, and the German homeboy

very bizarre and funny ad.

7. trebuchet: now there is a word you don't come across too often

last time I came across it was right here at the DU

8. on northern exposure, chris called his 'the fling'...

too bad he didn't get to fling a cow...but the piano, and the body of his jailmate buddy were pretty cool.

9. i've seen three different ones...

i hope they make more.

[tatertop]

12. they pack a lot of entertainment into a commercial

[sasquatch]

10. Wasn't he in "The Big Lebowski"?

[dysfunctional press]

11. he was the nihilist-

who threatend to cut off the dude's johnson, iirc- and chased the dude thru his dreams with a giant pair of scissors for just that purpose.

you probably also saw him in Fargo (pushing what was left of steve buscemi's leg/foot into a wood-chipper) or Armegeddon(as the krazy cosmonaut).

14. "Where is pancakes house?"

"I'm hungry now, y'know."
"You're some smooth smoothie."

[Book Lover]

13. I LOVE these ads

"It's definitely sucking..." !
