Rather bad taste considering it's a mockery of FPS Russia whose manager of the show was as-sinated recently. Sorry committed suicide by tying himself to a chair and shooting himself in the back of the head.
The Un-Pimp Your Auto spots date to something like 2006. They didn't run widely (MTV, I think, maybe Spike TV), because they're a little more edgy than the usual run of VW advertising (VW uses a lot of humor, but it's almost all gentle, going back to the DDB Needham print ads of the 1960s). My personal favorite VW ad is this one from 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zcm4oS9IaM
That is just damn funny. And, the VW ads ran more widely than you might think. I saw all of them. I don't get Spike TV and I certainly don't watch the former MTV. They should change the name of that network to contrived "reality" TV.

That reminds me that I haven't seen one of German Slingshot Guy's videos in quite a while!
