Do national TV broadcasts ever have regional commercials?

Where can I find older New Beetle TV commercials?

  • Is there a place where I can download/watch Volkswagen New Beetle TV commercials of yore? These would include the commercials featuring music by Hooverphonic, Spiritualized, Nick Drake, The Orb and the like. The official site seems to have pulled them in favor of more recent commercials, and nowhere I've looked seems to have them. I'd much rather not sign up for AdCritic, and none of the alternative sites suggested here in the past has them. I've tried emailing the operators of both VW.com as well a couple other VW sites, to no avail. I recently dug up a copy of Spiritualized's "Ladies and Gentlemen..." and got wistful for a stupid girl and her stupid car, and now I want to watch the stupid commercials. Help me get over this mania. I mean c'mon-- emailing freaking VW.com?! I'm stupid.

  • Answer:

    Have you tried http://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?p=vw+beetle+yore&ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&fl=0&cv=g&x=wrt? There are several commercials there. I do not know which one you are looking for, but they are different from the vw site. Beetles are great, I love http://people.zeelandnet.nl/martine73/oyo2.jpg!

Arnold Worldwide was the "http://www.arnoldworldwide.com/arn.cfm" for Volkswagen from 1995 - until recently. They have two ('http://www.arnoldworldwide.com/Drift' and 'http://www.arnoldworldwide.com/Milky%20Way') video ad clips at their website. "Googling" their name along with Volkswagen may produce more.

('Drift' and 'Milky Way') The links don't work -- visit http://www.arnoldworldwide.com/arn.cfm, select 'our work', scroll along the horizontal selection bar to 'volkswagen', click on the term -- and then you can see their various media -- "tv | radio | print | interactive | design | direct | out of home | brand promotions."
