Volkwagen Jetta - Synchronicity

[8BitBuster]

CHLOE GET ME THE LOCATION OF THAT VEHICLE! NINA IS GETTING AWAY!

[Nishbot]

Love this commercial.

[VanillaLimeCoke]

Who's the guy? I know the lady is Sarah Clarke.

[94XJ]

I've got an old iPod that came with all these VW commercial songs on it...sadly it crashed and I had to reformat it. All I can remember is "Da Da Da" and "Jung at Heart"...anyone know of others?

[FastRocket100]

That is Nina Meyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vdubaful]

Just smoke a lil weed and this will happen every time you drive!!!

[mrzack888]

good song, but shit car.

[enfoques21]

@mrzack888 yess!!

[Enid1911]

It's so wierd seeing Nina Meyers in this commercial.

[NWarty]

The commercial that made me want a Jetta. Bought one about a month later. 12 years and a 135K miles later, I still have my GLS 2.0 and she stills looks fantastic.

[Jennithebaker]

What a great decade for everything. Nothing overwhelmingly devastating happened. Commercials, music, movies and TV were never better...Some of you kids seriously missed out on an amazing decade. Kids have no idea what quality really is anymore. Case in point: Justin Bieber and Ke Dollar Sign Ha.

[policeman1313]

Wow I remember this commercial!

[Gia818Babe]

I will never forget the first time i saw this commercial, i told myself i had to get that car! and a few months later i did, a black 2000 jetta. IMO the jetta 4 was the best looking jetta ever!!!! Its funny to see her pop in the casatte in....wow how long ago was that.!!

[policeman1313]

@Gia818Babe still has its use. I use a cassette adapter thingy to plug my MP3 player in. :P

[bigjasond]

My all time favorite commercial !!!

[Taxymen]

I Have that car :~) But i would rather have the BORA logo heh heh....

[mamella76]

jetta en USA???

[Twinkies010101]

Thanks....this song has been in my head for a few months now and I hadn't realized this came out 10 years ago....

[TheFaustianMan]

Nina Meyers

[mesquiteguy1221]

I must admit VOLKSWAGEN not only makes some great cars.....BUT Commercials as well.

[MuddyTonic]

this isn't a commercial it is art and makes me want to buy a vw.

[mesquiteguy1221]

@MuddyTonic AWWWW So TRUE.....BUT I Bought a 2001 SAAB 9-5 Hatchback, instead. Talk about Unique !!!

[Youbian]

Don't you mean the mid-00's

[scooch17]

Man, loved this commercial when it came out, can't believe I was just able to find it!

[RandomTJ]

Best Jetta ever made.

[robbyson1106]

That's Nina Meyers!!!!

[AvalancheEddy]

Does anyone know how to get this song or what it is called? Thanks for the post, it's one of my all-time favorites.

[foxesamu]

Yes, it's called "Ambient" by Moby.

[BishoujoMagic]

No, it's called "Jung at Heart" by Master Cylinder.

[harenchi]

@BishoujoMagic Artist real name is Peter DuCharme

[BishoujoMagic]

@harenchi Thanks.

[lourencoguima]

The agency responsible is Arnold Communications, from Boston.

[yootoobdave]

i remember seeing this commercial for the first time i just had to keep on looping it over and over again. then again this morning i was just tooling around on the computer and it just came to mind again and im moved again like i was on day one. anyone know which ad agency put this one together?

[segerev]

great commercial. And I like this version better than the one where the occupants switched off the stereo.

[SensuousLettuce]

I obsessed on this commercial and even recorded the audio and looped it onto a cassette. I contacted VW about it and they sent me a CD with the song. I still have it on my computer. Thanks for posting.

[amkproject]

i remember seeing this ad for the first time - it was moving...for a commercial

i still wasn't going out to buy a VW

mainly because i'd already had one and every time i went to do a brake job or a bearing swap:

I needed VW tool# this and VW tool# that - much more insidious than the already ridiculous prices charged for after market parts. @#$#& VW!

Much more effective now as reference for synchronicity.

[amkproject]

still love that car though...

[mercjoe72]

That Jetta is no more than 10/12 years old. Did it come with cassette player ?

[mpierce41174]

Ha. Yes it did... No in-dash CD player was available on the early model of this car. A CD Changer was available for the trunk. Still this car cost $17,225.

Still I lusted after this car for a really long time.

[twofourtree]

wow, takes me back. this spot elevated the cool factor of vw 10 fold.

[laurentiis24]

I remeber that commercial

[juantrippe82]

Hey its my car!!!!!

[stiviwonderstif]

Please I need to know the title's song of this comercial.

Por favor necesito saber como se llama esta cancion.

[mindwalk]

Jung at Heart, by Master Cylinder

[playon023]

damn. . .The VW Marketing department deserves bonus after bonus.

[rachezee]

I love this commercial so much. Aren't there actually two versions of this commercial?

[Davidtiff]

I LOVE this commercial. First time I saw it, it was raining outside. Thx for uploading!!

SYNCHRONICITY

[BishoujoMagic]

One of my favorite commercials ever! So glad it's on YouTube.

[peterbilt47]

Thanks for the history, laxjok; this is one of the greatest commercials ever.

[alphamikevictor]

Honestly I think this is one of the greatest ads never filmed. I really love it!

[ddarko18]

damn u nina....damn u

[laxjok2001]

i'm so thrilled to find this!

More info: It refers to the newsgroup alt.tv.commercials for info on the soundtrack's composer, Peter DuCharme of Somerville, Massachusetts. His assignment was to write the music after the ad was shot, at 94 beats a minute, the pace of a brisk walk. He was paid $25,000. According to the shoot's creative director, a "click track" was used on the set to keep everyone in sync.

[themobbster]

You are correct, not only was a click track used, the windshield wiper was a metronome, and the temperature inside of the car was over 98 degrees.(uugh)

The car was towed around the french quarter on a rig while 2 guys squirted water out of bug sprayers over the camera to simulate rain.

- total shoot time 8 days.

no food was allowed in the car, period.

[HarukaShasaka]

cool n.n

[SAMTRUMAN]

It wasn't from the mid-90s. To be specific, it was 2000.

[SAMTRUMAN]

Or, I guess - from 1999, to be even more specific ... for the 2000 Jetta. :)

[MBiker80]

Great commercial from the mid-90's. Terrible video quality. I guess I'll have to go back and look through my old tapes to find a higher resolution copy. By the way, is that Sarah Clarke (Agent Nina Myers) of "24" fame?

[Tienshin]

Yes, that is Sarah Clarke in her first acting role. Also apologies for the vid quality, I found this on some dinky site and it was the best available.

[themobbster]

correction, this is not sarah "lively" clarkes' first acting role....

she's done a lot more before this spot.

-cheers :)

[harenchi]

@MBiker80 This was not from the mid 90's, it was 1998-99

[brbr28]

@harenchi 1999 to be exact

[ablu272]

Jetta makes great commercials

[ASurroca]

Loved this ad... a higher-res one would be nice, yea...

[elroslleida]

Este anuncio es el puto jefe!

[dawn114]

hi, i'm looking for a higher resolution version of this video. Any idea where i can get it?

[briskattivo]

I remember this. Great ad.
