This Audi commercial cracks me up

OK, so the message here is "I'm so proud of my arrogant selfish kid who acts like an a$$h0le?"

Kid has never been smacked.
Lipnicki is not cute anymore.
I would bang the Mom.
Questions?

I think VW has the best commercials. Especially these ones...

[sand_man]

^^^^Agreed!!!

Can't help but think of Fargo (Peter Stormare) when I watch those!

[berettafan]

nothing will ever approach the complete perfection that is those VW commercials.

although the irony of how much the wigger crowd loves them some h20 vw's and even more so audi's is worth noting.

I always wondered where that BS rule of no swimming after you eat get started. As a kid I was swimming all the time, either in a pool or the ocean. As a teenager more than once I snarfed a burger and then went to the pool. I often when for a bike ride after a meal. I never ever even once got the cramps after eating followed by physical activity.

My mom was convinced I would die if I went swimming within 30 minutes of eating. I guess I cheated death a lot.

This kinda reminds me of the stories of Dolphins pushing humans to shore thus saving their lives. Funny, ya never hear stories of Dolphins pushing folks out to sea.

Dolphins get nothin but good press, eh?
Maybe Brady needs to hire their PR folks

[flipper35]

Dolphins also get a little too amorous with the gentler sex. Maybe the push to shore is looking for a little "gratitude"?

Off to Harvard for his MBA and then to Wall Street where he will become the next Jamie Dimon.

I loved the commercial. Kid's a hero! We have enough sheep on the planet.

We rewatched Fargo last night - Stormare is brilliant (as is everyone) in that film.

This is my favorite VW - or maybe any - commercial.

Yup. 'Cause that's the kind of world we live in today.

Kid's a hero until he comes over to your house* and he does whatever the f he wants.



* i.e. one of your kids has a b-day party and he's in your kid's class, you're friends with the parents and invite them over for a BBQ, etc.

I must have missed something - I'll have to go back and watch again. I thought all he did was question the age old voodoo of swimming right after you eat.

I wouldn't have a problem if he did that at my house. In fact - I'd tell the kid he had true grit.

Yep. He must have read Tucker Max's "A__holes Finish First."

I watched it again.

Eh....

Didn't see the kid do any damage to anyone's stuff. Didn't hurt anyone. All he did was push the envelope a little.

No different than exceeding the posted speed limit - something I do every day.

Guess that makes me a SPOILED BRAT too!

[Noah930]

I have kids in that age range. I see how some of their classmates are f'n monsters. Absolutely no respect for authority--kinda like the kid in the ad, who's cheered on by Mom.

My kids aren't perfect, but by no means are they disrespectful monsters; I'm willing to let any disbelievers ask that question of any teacher, coach, or parent with whom they've ever come in contact.

When you're a kid, just follow the rules. It's different--as an adult--to think outside the rules IMO.

[edgemar]

nothing can beat this commercial

[reachme]

I was a lifeguard and relate to having to be responsible for the little unsupervised snot-noses.

Anybody with an axe to grind against authority figures it's safe to target the high school kid making $8 an hour to debate rules he was given by lawyers and probably disagrees with too.

Their parents drop them off all day or sit there and sip from their "thermos" while junior runs around the slippery pool edge for the 10th time, both oblivious to how a bad concussion would make juniors eyes roll back in their head and their bodies convulse. Ready to then sue the town because the lifeguard didn't overrule them and enforce the rule they were egging their kid on to ignore allowing them to buy a newer Audi for the kid when he gets his license.
Then he gets sick in the pool and that pretty girl watches as you have to fish it out for your $8 an hour.
Watching this makes me want to cut off an Audi driver.

I think we're missing the point here. In what world is an A7 driven my a soccer mom who doesn't work, married to a Wall Street banker a car that breaks the rules?

An R8, I'll buy that. But a luxobarge?

The real message of the ad is: "the vast majority of the upper class isn't buying our pseudo coupe luxury car, maybe because it's incredibly ugly, maybe because they suck, we're not sure, but we know there's a segment of the population that would rather stand in the corner at a party dreaming about rebelling against all the "cool kids," and we're hoping you like our car because no one else seems to."
