Must... buy... Darth Vader costume...
Posted by: sk60 | February 02, 2011 at 19:46
That hard, unyielding mask conveys a lot of emotion. I'm impressed...

There’s a lot to be said for simple pleasures.
Posted by: David | February 02, 2011 at 20:28
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaha.............oh god the pain.......
Sorry, tis the most erudite comment I can produce with this one.

That ad totally works on me. I'm going to buy a house and get a big dog and father a child and buy a Volkswagen and buy the kid a Vader suit and, oh yeah, probably get a driver's licence just so I can do this.

Brilliantly done.
David, I can't find the seatbelt ad you linked to ages ago.
Posted by: mlrosty | February 03, 2011 at 09:17
This one?

And yes. Done well, it’s an art form.
Posted by: David | February 03, 2011 at 09:32
Thanks!
Posted by: mlrosty | February 03, 2011 at 10:03
Adorable!

It's gone right round the office and it's still making us laugh.

OT, but have you seen this thread at Harry's Place? Lots of intelligent chat about Judith Butler and her crowd.
Posted by: CIngram | February 03, 2011 at 18:48
CIngram,
Thanks. Saw.
Anna,
I had to watch it several times to savour the mother’s expression.
Posted by: David | February 03, 2011 at 19:24
For me the moment to repeatedly savour was the bit where he pushes his dad aside in his eagerness to perform the forcey thing on the car.....
Hell, I've started the giggles again......
Posted by: jones | February 04, 2011 at 05:49
Pitch-perfect, hits all the right notes. THIS is what a good commercial should be.
Posted by: apotheosis | February 04, 2011 at 16:20
I must have watched this ten times now. All things spoofing Darth Vader are gold. I expect you've all seen The Vader Sessions?
