VW "Luv Bug" (2017) 1:00 (USA)

I once had a creative director who swore up and down that there was not one product out there who you couldn't sell with this strategy: "X will get you laid." We had a few dark humored moments there when I called out some clients.
"What about save the children?" "Donate to Save The Children and people will know you care about the children, so they'll want to have children with you." I'm still a bit dubious about this working for all products, however, it is refreshing to see VW wanting to own boning. They are also being honest about who in the heck would want the own the massive new Atlas with seven seats. Not sure what the horny couple will trade up to when they get another bun in the oven. The Dean Martin track helps keep this in delightfully charming territory, too. You just watched sixty seconds of a couple boning in different automobiles. Well played, VW. Well played.

That was perfect. I could use a post-coital smoke.

Your commercial is vulgar and should be taken off air. Why you would think the contents of this commercial is OK to air is beyond me!
