Former coach and current ESPN analyst Bob Knight is nothing if not a shill for any company that will pay him to endorse its product, and his latest is this Volkswagen commercial:
I have to say, it sucks, and it's a little embarrassing to watch Knight making a fool of himself like that. Awful Announcing says, "I'm all for people making as much money anyway they can, but this is a little ridiculous." And Sporting Blog says, "this new VW commercial featuring Knight is just not good. Like, at all." I agree. C'mon, Knight. You're better than that.

I think the commercial is a hoot! We laughed out loud. If Bob Knight can laugh too and earn some money, why not? It is the USA after all.

Oh, whatever. It's funny enough. Especially for the way he only half-heartedly throws the couch. If you're gonna complain about something, how 'bout that terrible German accent? It's not hard to make a fake German accent funny, but they managed to screw it up.
