A look at Volkswagen’s crazy ad guys

05/12/2006, 12:23 PM

By admin

They’re responsible for VW’s wacky ‘GTI Fast‘ and ‘Unpimp Your Auto‘ ads. They were the driving force behind resurrecting the Rabbit name for the VW Golf. They’re drove a Ford Excursion around urban markets with a MINI on top. And they’re responsible for Burger King’s crazy “King” campaign. And according to Business Week, Crispin Porter + Bogusky are the craziest guys in the ad industry.

re: unpimp your auto campaign

very entertaining and beautifully executed! that actor was great in fargo but when i recently saw “minority report”, a really bad tom cruise steven speilberg movie from a few years back , i saw that the idea for the couple in the unpimp ads was clearly lifted from the movie. the same actor plays the wacked docter who switches out tom cruise’s eyes and he also has a similar blond assistant.

I really like their style.

The “King” has an endearing creepiness about him. It’s wonderful!

Bringing the Rabbit moniker back is sheer genius; EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. It’s like HOW DARE YOU DRIVE A RABBIT?!THIS IS 2007!YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE BORG-DRONES AND DRIVE WHAT WE TELL YOU TO DRIVE! What a statement, hey? “Yes, this is my…Rabbit”. How insanely refreshing! Loving it!

I hope Crispin, Porter & Bogusky market the new Eos in a more mature and refined manner. The world is crazy enough without having artificial craziness and wackyness thrown at you.

I think the best commercial would be the BK King driving a VW GTI, delivering a Bacon Tender Crisp Chedder Ranch to hardworking Ford employees that are making a Ford Excursion…

:-P
