So, I just saw [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euC3YyX6sBc) commercial for the Volkswagen Jetta on TV, and I gotta say… I like it. Just two guys having an inane conversation, the sort of thing you tend to tune out when you’re watching TV, and allofasudden WHAM.

Just check out the commercial, it’s great.

I’ve seen this one and another with two couples coming home from the movies.  
They look pretty real. Like they really just crashed the cars and let the air bags do their thing. I’m sure they are not done that way, but they look that way.
