"Oh, Snap!"
Maybe it's just a guy thing, or my distaste for Japanese cars, or my straight laced law-abiding revulsion to the hip-hop culture. Maybe I get too much enjoyment from smashing things, or pretty young eurobabes in short skirts, or middle aged techno geeks being portrayed as hip. But when I watched this commercial for Volkswagen's new factory "tuner" car last night my wife asked, "Is that funny?"
"If you have to ask...," I replied.
The other two ads in the series are here, and here.
Brilliant!

Yeah, I had seen the first one, and thought it a swing-and-a-miss. Watching the other two, I don't know if I am getting into the series or the others are better. I chuckled at If you vant me to de-pimp your ride, say vat.” “What?”
I love Japanese cars, but admit my eyes glaze over when commercials try to tie into hip-hop culture.
