Deustch LA launched the final spot in its campaign for the 2015 Volkswagen Passat TDI Clean Diesel, entitled “Mom.”
The 45-second spot depicts three young boys running wild in a gas station convenience store causing all kinds of destruction. Filmed in slow-motion and set to the classic country song “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” (as performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson) the comic approach makes for an entertaining scene of wheezing the juice, soda explosions and excessive amounts of cheesy sauce. After the boys’ shenanigans, and a shot of the mom filling up at the pump, the spot cuts to a mom in the 2015 Volkswagen Passat TDI Clean Diesel, with three well-behaved boys in the backseat. The perfect marriage of the boys’ destruction in slow motion and the music selection make for a fine sendoff spot to the campaign and follow-up to the “Old Wives Tales” spots starring the Golden Sisters.
