A Peek at “The Bark Side”
Ingredients for a viral Super Bowl ad: Dogs and Star Wars
Dogs are to viral Super Bowl ads as wheels are to a bicycle. That is, essential. (Think: Doritos and Bud Light.) And early promo for Volkswagen’s 2012 Super Bowl ad looks to proves the point. Taking off from last year’s Star Wars-inspired commercial (an adorable Darth Vadar wannabe tries to use the force on everything from a sandwich to his dog), Volkswagen released a teaser on Wednesday for this year’s Super Bowl commercial that features a chorus of dogs barking the “Imperial March.” I love it, especially the scruffy Chewbacca growl. It’s almost enough to make me watch the Super Bowl—but not quite, since I know I’ll be able to watch and re-watch it at my leisure on YouTube. Captivated by the Greyhound who steals the show in the last few seconds? Read about the creative Oregonian who conjured the Imperial Walker costume last Halloween.

But there are no close-ups of the Pug.
Make sure you watch it full screen - and maybe a couple of times. It took me a while to notice that one of the dogs is Princess Leia and another is wearing a weapon on a belt. I have no desire to watch the Super Bowl but am tempted to go buy a VW. My dog and I would look great in a convertible bug :-)
My whole family has watched this more times than I care to admit. Love it! I hope it's considered the best commercial of this year's Super Bowl. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Totally LOVE it as do my pals I've forwarded it to...
