EXUSE ME FROM MY EXCESSIVE USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS, I JUST JUST EXPLAIN HOW THIS COMMERCIAL HAS RUINED MY LIFE

WHENEVER MY MOTHER SEES A GTI ON THE ROAD, HEARS ME TALK ABOUT THE GTI, OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE GTI, SHE STARTS SINGING, “WA WA, WAWAWAWA VOLKSWAGEN GTI,” AND I’m perfectly okay with that.

Very true. This ad came out 32 years ago, and she still does the jingle three to five times a week.

She often tells the story about how she first saw the ad the day after she graduated high school in 1984.
