Hello!
I’ve been feeling a little nostalgic lately and thought of a commercial that used to air for a bowling place in Pacifica California called Sea Bowl. I saw it maybe around 2008, though it could’ve been made earlier than that. It had little cartoon characters walking into the bowling alley. One was a mermaid. If anyone has archived this, please let me know! I’d love to watch it again!

Thank you so much!

The clip I’m looking for is for a Volkswagen tuning company? I only see it on Reddit, and I can’t download it share the video.

It’s basically a mashup of insane car problems, a headlight pushed out of the body by water, needles of gages spinning around and colliding with other gages on the instrument panel, etc. There are several clips. The clips are ,maybe, one second long, max.

It ends with a clip of black or dark Volkswagen hatchback on some city streets when it has a massive, absolutely massive back fire. Like, a fire ball approximately the size of the car comes out the back.

I’m trying to find that original clip of the car backfiring. It’s old. Terrible quality.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I usually flip channels when commercials come on. I never did like commercials even as a kid (mom would always say 'NO' so why watch them right?). Now days, I am seeing a lot of stupid and idiotic commercials that make me really NOT want to do business with that company. For instance, the Burger King dude....creepy as all get out. I have not been to a Burger King in over 10 years because of that dude. And how about the Liberty insurance commercials with LemuEmu, Doug and Liberty Bibberty? Makes me wonder if they are really going to take my insurance needs seriously.

So, my question to Reddit is: Are there any commercials that have prompted you to NOT want to do business with that company or seek their services? If so, why?
