Leonard Nimoy in Volkswagen Bug Commercial

Recently, VW has been doing ads where they pretend an old VW bug is hosting a talk show, and the guest and bug talk back and forth, complimenting each other. They did one with Hiedi Klume, one with David Hasselhoff, and tonight... Leonard Nimoy! :vulcan: :lol:

They talked type-casting; how people think Leonard has no emotion, and people think the VW bug is just "cute" but is really a great engineered car. The ending is Leonard with a final comment on type-casting before he is beamed out, to which the bug just says, "Uh... Leonard?" :lol:

Hope to see it on YouTube soon!
 
Oh man that sounds hysterical! Please tell me this is on Youtube somewhere! I'm at work now and can't access that site until I get home.
 
I never thought I'd see an ad campaign starring Heidi Klume and Leonard Nimoy.

Now I can die happy.

Searches on YouTube and Google Video turned up nothing on this, but I did find a rather amusing use of the "Bilbo Baggins" video combined with a tune by the Bad Brains. :lol:

It sounds quite funny! I haven't seen it yet, do you have a link? Call me stupid but what is VW?
 
I was doing a news article on this and while looking for a YouTube link (unhappily, it's not yet up. *grr!*), I found this thread.

My husband insisted he could find the clip. He couldn't of course, but he decided to give me the next best thing. I can't use it in the news article, of course, but I thought it might give you guys a grin.
