You gotta love a car commercial that's not really about cars. VW's Game Day commercial for the 2013 season is something to behold!
They kind of missed the mark with the teaser for this ad, and angered half of America's men with their open swing at the emasculation of men. But this seems to be right on the ball.
The super bowl commercial is for the VW Beetle, but you wouldn't know this unless you watch the very last moments. The video is about that guy, that guy that every office building has, who knows about the best substances.
Except this one only deals in smiles and is a guru when it comes to making people happy. He doesn't wear beads or reggae hair, he just has a Beetle.
That catchy tune they're singing is not a miscellaneous Bob Marley song. It's actually "Come on Get Happy". It's from the 70s but was used in a Goofy movie, which is why you might see cartoon in the related section of this Youtube video.
If you guys would like to know if the new Beetle makes you happy, make sure to read our Test Drive.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
