Volkswagen Gets Freaky
Here, a very German man dances around in a Speedo, farting and twisting his nipples around a VW bug. While definitely not trying to seduce viewers into buying the car (except for those viewers who are ‘into that sort of thing’), in the end this ad comes together, its punch line finally making clear why someone chose to spend money filming this.
Volkswagen has played off its German-ness before (see the German version of “Pimp my Ride”: “Un-Pimp my Auto”), and although it may leave you a bit uneasy, it's more attention-grabbing than the ten-thousandth panoramic view of Brand-X SUV, driving through the desert to a voiceover about warranties.
