Here I Go Again...Car Commercial Redux
Okay, I don't want to seem like some sort of car commercial-obsessed weirdo, but there's another one that sort of freaks me out a bit. This one involves a young intrepid reporter approaching the German-accented "Dr. Z" to ask him some questions about a merger of his car company with another. Dr. Z then commands the reporter to get into one of the cars, and proceeds to subject the reporter to a battery of scary car tests, ultimately crashing the car into a wall while they are both inside. He then turns to the shaken reporter, and asks "any more questions?" After the shaken reporter stammers "no," Dr. Z then "Auf Wiedersehen"s the reporter, leaving him in the mangled car.
Okay...
Now, who at the ad agency saw this and said, "Perfect! A commercial that centers on a mysterious German doctor performing experiments and potentially inflicting bodily harm on a person asking too many questions! It's exactly what we need!" I'm just saying.
Alright, I'm done with the car commercials. Moving on...

I know! This commercial upsets me every time I see it. Glad to know I'm not alone. The wife always looks so content seeing her husband jump off a cliff in the morning. Perhaps she knows how bad the commercial really is and is hoping just one of these days his chute fails to open. Funny blog.
Just stumbled upon your blog... funny!
I also hate this commercial. Every time I see it, I think it will be a dermatologist commercial, because I associate "Dr. Z" with Dr. Zizmore, that dermatologist that's always being advertised on the subway. I usually realize that it's a car commercial about the time that the car crashes. It's a huge source of confusion for me.
Metalia, is that you posting the above comments on your own blog, to bolster your readership?
Loved your stories! Our toilets always flush by themselves.
