Punch Your Co-Worker If You Heard Grizzly Bear in a Volkswagen Ad Last Night

Q: Did you watch the Super Bowl last night?

A) Yes — WHO DAT?!
B) Yes — I DO NOT CARE FOR TRACY PORTER AT THE MOMENT.
C) I hate football.
D) Please stop.

If you answered C or D, chances are you missed Grizzly Bear’s very first foray into advertising! That’s right, “Two Weeks” was used last night in a Volkswagen commercial centered around the time-honored “Slug Bug” game (you see a Volkswagen, you punch your friend and call out the color). Check out the commercial above, and try not to laugh at the two surprise cameos at the end of the ad. Also, did you know that Spiritualized and Stereolab have both been featured in Volkswagen commercials as well? Weird.
