Volkswagen

These ads made a lasting impression on pop culture.

Remember the "Darth Vader kid" from that awesome 2011 Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial? Well, his name is Max Page. He's seven years old, and today, he'll be undergoing open-heart surgery.

Earlier this month, Volkswagen released a trailer for their Super Bowl ad, which hinted that it was going to be about dogs and 'Star Wars'. And to follow this year's trend, they've now released the whole thing EARLY.

Remember the Volkswagen Super Bowl ad that showed a little kid in a Darth Vader costume trying to use "the force"? At the end, his dad hit a button on the keys from inside the house so the kid thought HE started the car. Well, someone posted a new parody of it on YouTube that makes fun of Toyota for recalling more cars because of acceleration problems. In the parody, the kid actually HAS the force, but when the car turns on, he can't stop it from running him over. See this hilarious parody on the next page!
