Mika Häkkinen commercial

[Rockystar1997]

also ich habs verstanden ;D

[OnboardDriving]

Ok, I think the question is - why on earth is Mika driving a diesel?

[southernlynxlibra]

goodlooking Finn!!!!

[Sareth987]

Translation for Finnish people:

Mika: Voinko auttaa?

Nainen: Kiitos.

Mika: Eipä mitään.

Nainen: Aika urheilullinen auto.

Mika: Vruuuum, vruum

Mika: Se on muuten diesel..

Nainen. Joo takuulla ja sä olet F1-kuljettaja.

Mika: No totta kai.

[brutalictesku]

Damn germans! It's dubbed! Mika's voice is the best

[panokset]

its always nice to see Finns and Germans do things together, its reminds me good old ww2 times ;D

[TheColinChapman]

the girl's german voice is Katja Nottke, better known as Michelle Pfeiffer's german dubbing voice.

[Formel1Fan89]

"Ja klar" ................HAHAHAHA Mika Häkkinen the best f1 driver

@askpungen

No, that wasn`t dubbed! It was a German commercial. Look at the plates of the car - those are German plates!

broom broom =)

[zelmaso]

hehe nice ad

[Gwestiel]

Why did they have to dub it? I prefer Mika's voice, even with a not-so-perfect accent.

[SonoraMan1]

@Gwestiel

I think that is Mika speaking German. Those few words are not too hard to learn for a foreign speaker. And by the way, his "Ist ein Diesel" was a famous slogan back in those years.

[Gwestiel]

That is definitely not Mika speaking. Anyone who has heard him speak can tell it's not his voice.

Of course he could have learned those words. I never impied that it he couldn't.

The slogan is irrelevant.

[TheColinChapman]

@Gwestiel I like the german dubbing. Her voice is Katja Nottke, she is also the german voice of Michelle Pfeiffer.

[Gwestiel]

@TheColinChapman It's weird for me to understand that concept since in my country we don't dub anything. Why would you want to miss out on the original performance. Think about it: say an actor wins an academy award for a performance, but in Germany you don't entirely get that award winning performance because it's dubbed. It doesn't make sense to me why people would spoil that.

[TheColinChapman]

@Gwestiel partly true, but only partly. In 2 out of 2 cases, you are right. But there are situations where a dubbed version can be even better than the original. For example: Bruce Willis' german voice is Manfred Lehmann, and the sound of his voice matches Bruce Willis' roles (such as the role as 'John McLane' or 'Harry Stamper') better than the original falsetto voice.

[Gwestiel]

@TheColinChapman if that were true Bruce Willis would've used a lower voice in the first place. as an actor he should be able to do that. but the role didn't really require that. Maybe it's just a matter of preference. i understand that some people would prefer a "manlier" voice from that sort of role.

[TheColinChapman]

@Gwestiel you're right, it probably IS a matter of preference. And don't get me wrong, I usually prefer to watch movies with the original audio track, mostly because sappy quotes often sound only half as funny as in english. But it can be different. Regarding discussions like this, the TV series "The Persuaders" comes up to my mind. In the original version, the series flopped, and no further episodes were made. With the (humorous) german version (written by Reiner Brandt), it was a success(!).

what a lucky broad!

[harikenya]

la cara de mika es graciosa, cada vez que veo alguno de sus comerciales me parto de la risa xD

[Incredimail]

die musik is klasse

schubidubdubdub :D

[schumifriend1]

this commercial is so funny, for all of you who don't understand it: Häkkinen said to the woman that this car is a disel car and the women said: all right and you are a formula one driver. sorry for my bad english.

[majkojebac]

mercedes + disel = best thing ever (E 320 CDI)

[danielcev]
