Update:
Volkswagen has announced their plans for the VW Super Bowl Ads 2011. Volkswagen will air two Super Bowl ads. More details about the Volkswagen Super Bowl Ads 2011.
The Super Bowl 2010 is taking place on February 7th, but Super Bowl advertisers are already ramping up their campaigns. Volkswagen has unveiled more details and launched supporting online offerings today for their Punch Dub Super Bowl 2010 commercial.
The "Punch Dub" VW ad is based on the classic game that kids used to play back in the original Beetle's heyday called "Punch Buggy" (or "Slug Bug"), where the first person to see a Beetle would yell, "Punch Bug" and playfully slug his or her friend.
The VW Super Bowl 2010 commercial (3rd quarter includes a special cameo by actor and comedian Tracy Morgan (photo). It will show a variety of people in different driving situations gently slugging others in the arm every time they spot a Routan, Tiguan, CC or any other Volkswagen model.
Volkswagen also "found" the creator of the original game, Charlie "Sluggy" Patterson. Watch Sluggy below explaining how he came up with the Slug Bug game - it is hilarious!
