Weirdest Commercial Ever: VW Routan Baby Boom
I have no idea what to make of the new Volkswagen Routan commercials starring Brooke Shields. The commercials been called “hilarious“, but I find them somehow really unsettling. It’s like I understand why it should be funny, but I can’t get why it actually isn’t funny in execution. Oh well.
Apparently, VW is also planning an interactive web tool to go along with this bizarre ad campaign. Couples will be able to upload their photos and generate a composite of their future Routan Baby. That should help motivate wanna-be parents to get procreating! The good news is that the Routan has a lot more child car seat anchors than other minivans, so all those Routan Babies will have a place to sit. Joy!

this has to be the most ridiculous and tasteless commercial ever.. i’ll never buy a vw just because of this idiotic commercial.. there is no humor there…
My husband has only driven VWs….and we own one right now, but really…this is asinine….because we have struggled with fertility issues and at 44….he won’t be having children and it is causing divorce. A commerical like this is insensitive and rude.
I think this commercial is not very humorous at all, I have became pregnant before this ad campaign started and it seriously fells like they are putting down all pregnant mothers. This ad campaign is ridiculous.
Considering Germany’s history I find this commercial highly offensive on so many levels. Babies for Germany, fertility, etc.
What fool thought this was appropriate?
The commercial means “you don’t have to get screwed to get a good deal on a new car”. I thought it was very funny and rather clear what the meaasge was. Fotr you folks that didn’t get it or thought it was about pregnant women, I’m sorry!
