When you wake up looking like Jim Morrison and Brian Wilson's weird soccer hooligan man-baby, you've slept too long. You might want to get up, dust off the cobwebs and maybe get a friggin' haircut, ya big hippie. 

This delightfully absurd spot from French automaker Citröen and agency Les Gaulois opens with a groggy, unkempt man waking up from what appears to be a pretty satisfying Rip Van Winkle-ish snooze. He wakes up and shuffles to the window, and then we see him assemble the fragments of the years he slept through.
