An Imperial March of Barks [FUNNY AD]

For the Super Bowl, big companies scrabled to make the funniest, most clever commercials and spent A LOT of money on them in the hopes they go viral. But it seems the march of commercials started early, including this early-release one from Volkswagen, which features a familiar march from our childhoods.

Seems the German car company is continuing its Star Wars obsession (remember their Darth Vader tyke from last year?) with a version of the iconic John Williams score, "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" which made its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Only, instead of using a full orchestra they are using a choir of dogs. 

This is like a viral bomb. It has all the things the Internet likes, funny dogs, nerdy Star Wars nostalgia and all in just over one-minute.

Well-played Volkswagen, well played.
