I’m sure some idiot at Audi thought these “Green Police” commercials for the Super Bowl would be funny. I found them downright offensive and not the least bit funny.
In the collection of ads below, you see a guy at the store pick “plastic” when the checkout gal asks “paper or plastic” and the Green Police immediately arrest the earth-destroyer for his intended assault on Mother Gaia. (Didn’t these enviro-idiots come up with the plastic bags some 20 years ago to save the earth from all the trees being killed for paper bags?) You also have Green Police digging through people’s trash for batteries, and shining a searchlight into a guy’s kitchen for putting (or not putting–not being a green wacko, I’m not sure which is “proper”) something down his drain. And (oh my) we have evil maniacs being busted for using incandescent light bulbs, plastic water bottles, and having the water too warm in the hot tub. Of course at the end of the commercial, you have the greenie driving an eco-friendly car who is blessed by the Green Police High Priests.
If Audi really meant to point out the idiocy of the “green” movement and its very real threats to freedom…they failed to deliver anything which clues the viewer in to a message that “We think this is nuts.” The commercial is presented with too much seriousness to be taken any other way than as approval of such Gestapo tactics. But if Audi wants to appeal to the real environmental wacko out there, they definitely hit the mark with these commercials.

These earth-worshipping morons might have thought they were being cute; maybe they’ve been drinking too much of their own Koolaid and have totally lost touch with reality.

If Audi wants to sell me a high mileage diesel car they should say it performs like a gasoline powered car and saves money. Is there another reason to buy an Audi diesel ?
I thought they were hilarious!
Right up there with the "Smoke Jumpers..."
Of course here in Texas we BBQ envviro-whackos, so you in the more socialist areas may be a little more sensitve to the matter.
One question though, what was with the anteater?
bttt
In one of their other commercials, the anteater was being used to sniff out contraband Styrofoam, which was carefully being stored away in evidence bags by the Green Police.
"To purchase one Prius may be regarded as a misfortune; to buy two looks like carelessness"
ERush and you are correct - double whammy
And they would have ended up with a commercial that's just like a million others, totally forgettable, and totally ineffective. This brilliant ad has people talking, and thinking, and has created product awareness that a standard format commercial could never accomplish.
The real motive of leftists is to get people into cars the leftists can't envy. The Audi diesel is somewhat of a luxury car with power that makes many leftists turn green. Making fun of leftists while flaunting luxury in their face works to demotivate them. The ad should be effective in making some sales to people that hate leftists.
I’m out-accelerating the pickup trucks in this snow — better traction control.
And both my cars fit in my garage, so it’s easy to clear the driveway.
And I spend half as much for gas as I did when I drove a mini-van.
And my family of 4 still does a 2-week summer vacation by car.
Another Audi ad addresses that.
Anteaters' sense of smell helps root out contraband styrofoam cups and other objects thoughtless drivers continue to use. At first I thought it was a Wallaby!
LOL!
GREEN = THE NEW RED.
Any way the totalitarian Left can find a grip on your rights or freedoms they will always seize the opportunity.
So now is all in the name of saving Polar Bears, Trees, Smelt, or whatever - just COMPLY or Else!
