A colorful pinata shaped like an SUV turns out to be a party pooper as a boy–sans a blindfold–wails away at it with a baseball bat but cannot make a dent. He eventually gives up, at which point the front of the pinata turns to the camera, revealing a Volkswagen logo.
Next the lad’s dad grabs the bat and takes some mighty swings, with the same result.
The lesson is that the 2011 Tiguan SUV is built like a VW, strong and sturdy–and if there’s candy inside, you aren’t going to get any.
This comical slice of birthday life was directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks for Deutsch LA.
