The Bark Side: Volkswagen’s inspired new Super Bowl ad

January 19, 2012 By Deacon Greg Kandra 11 Comments

Clearly, designed to go viral — so allow me to give it a little nudge.   Those who remember this priceless spot from last year will recognize the theme: the Imperial March, a.k.a., Darth Vader’s Theme.  But you’ve never heard it like this.  Or seen it performed by dogs dressed as those iconic characters.

    Too cerebral, and clearly digitally manipulated. I think last year’s commercial was light years ahead [pun intended] of this year’s.

    Clean humor; fun; and I even remember which car it’s selling. Better than the sleaze tv we’re constantly being exposed to.
