During the 2010 Superbowl, the folks at Volkswagen aired a commercial for their new Jetta that would go down in history as one of the best ads ever created. It starred a pint-sized Darth Vader, a lazy golden retriever and a Father that helped make his sons day by way of the remote start on the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. The commercial has garnered more than 36 million views on youtube and has the ability to put a smile on the face of just about anyone. It’s now 5 months later and we’re soon to be greeted with Paramount’s new movie, “Thor” about a God that was dropped from the heavens to seek refuge amongst mortal men and women. The producers decided to try and steal a little of Mini Darth’s thunder by making their own parody of VW’s Jetta commercial. It’s a good effort no doubt, but I still think that Mini Thor has a little bit of work to do.
