Volkswagen Stinky Couch Commercial

Can anyone? tell me why is this so genius? Really, I think I don’t get the commercial… =/
This has to be the best commercial from the late? 90s!
OMG thats my car…except mine? is silver and i totally scored a free chair yesterday….luckilly mine wasnt stinky…
This goes right into favorites. This was? my commercial 13 years ago, brings back memories. Arguably the greatest commercial ever. From the faces they made I’m guessing the chair smelled like liquid human waste.
I also like this commercial. Does anyone? remember the promo commercial for the t.v. show Spin City that parodied this commercial.?
damn i remember this from like 3rd? grade.
i think it was like 97′
I? always heard that they where supposed to be gay. I’ve done this befor but it wasn’t a chair it was a dresser and it wasn’t a vw it was a volvo but the guy who helped me load it was still gay lol. Either way it’s a super cute commercial.
Da da da. Ich lieb’ dich nicht. Du liebst mich nicht.
There there there. I love you not. You love me not. (I don’t love you. You don’t love me)?
It isn’t gay it’s 2 guys who just moved out of their homes and are in college. They are just driving? around LA enjoying a Santa Ana Sunday. Desert winds making everything bright, and wonderful. I did the exact same things a few years ago.
Old chair for the pad, or not; lol.
-I- actually chose to give up a Sunday Afternoon and this commercial just happened to be aired, -I- end up shaking my Dadd pop’s and told him that this? game was worth watching !
Hell-lo!? Gay guys picking up dirty, used furniture off the street?? I think not. If they were gay, they’d have been in Pottery Barn :>)

ilikemike97 is definitely reading too much into the commercial. There’s nothing gay about this at all. I? never watched Ellen and I saw this on television very frequently for a while.
Umm, I’m hip to gay people, have gay friends. I don’t see this comercial as overtly gay. It’s possible they’re lovers or it’s possible they’re just buddies? or college roomates. People look a little too hard into things sometimes I think.
2 collinwoodresident :
With regard to this ad being “2 gay”, i think it was like many ads that are aimed at a gay demographic: If u were gay (at that time), u would probably have perceived? the gay subtext; if u were straight but “gay sensitive” (cool with gay issues and had gay friends) u would have probably also picked up on it; and lastly, if you were totally out to lunch, you probably would not have figured it out or enjoyed the vignette.
(CONTINUED FROM ABOVE)
I remember seeing this ad (4 the 1st time on the episode of “Ellen” where “Ellen” came out for the first tv “outing”- it was clear from the placement that they were going 4 a gay target audience with this ad. However, most people to whom i spoke the following day did? not get it- we were a far less sophisticated country in ’97 with regards to gay rights/gay issues/gay awareness etc.
Interestingly, everyone i spoke 2 dug the song, tho.
yes, dont forget? hitler…..
The only car ad that made me want to buy a car. And now, VW is likely going to pass Toyota as the world’s largest car manufacturer. Pretty good for a company started as a hobby by Ferdinand Porsche? and promoted by Hitler
dayum, i haven’t seen this commercial in a cool minute. i totally forgot about it.? seeing it now though, what a flashback! this was so one of those commercials that had us talking in school back in the day.
I remember? this comercial
LOL! that’s? the greatest commercial ever xD
@XxMrsCoreyFeldmanxX? I agree that this is THE best commercial EVER!!!
Actually it is great, as a short film, but not as a commercial.
It was featured as an example of a poor ad in a marketing class I took. Studies showed people like and remembered it, a great trait for an? ad. But people when asked didn’t recall what the ad was for, a bad thing for the advertiser.
I always remembered? what it was for, the da da da song was synonymous with Volkswagen at that time.
@billythehut Wow…you need to tell your prof to change professions. Seriously,? if people remember the commercial, and they would take the time to actually LOOK for the commercial because they liked it so much, then VW has created a perpetual advertisement.
@sbrooks0178 Hi sbrooks0178, just saw your response, I took that class way back when the ad was new. Yes its memberable, and some folks such as us still love it. However, most folks at the time when surveyed even just after the ad didn’t recall the product. So its great, but studies at the time suggested not in a marketing sense. In fact Microsoft’s spoof that followed, meant some recall? it with that product. So Micorsoft was able to grab some of VW’s marketing thunder.

@XxMrsCoreyFeldmanxX?
i concur!
Well, I was in High School from 1997 to 2001, and I think in either 97? or 98m classmates were occasionally chanting this song at school, because of the VW commercial.
I was in high school from 1997 to? 2001 too. It reminded me of football Sundays.
This commercial has stuck with me since it aired in i? believe 1993, fuck you haters.
no it was? 96
