That’s uh... That’s something right there. Hope it wasn’t too terribly expensive.

I was seriously hoping it was just spec work, but nope.

Also, “this film has an inbuilt viral effect”

ugh

Why did the Cat at the end sound like Johnny No-Neck from Newark?

This is why I’ll never own a VW. I’m not weird enough to own one.

Because a social media meme related talking cat video to sell leases wouldn’t be complete without some geographical stereotyping. Seriously, though, this feel like a “wouldn’t it be funny if the cat had a Jersey accent?” from a producer followed by a huge internal facepalm and a happy nod and “yeah, we can do that” by the director.

Weird is only required for leasing apparently.

Living with a VW owner, I can tell you that weird is most certainly required for ownership too.
