Super Bowl Commercials 2012: Volkswagen Releases Teaser Ad Featuring Dogs, Star Wars

The 2012 Super Bowl is only weeks away at this point and for those of you that aren’t fans of the actual sport you may be waiting on the big game for the commercials.

Yes, the commercials. Super Bowl ads (even those that are rejected) are a show in itself as businesses pay millions of millions of dollars for air time. The average cost of a Super Bowl commercial in 2012 is around $3.5 million and NBC has already sold out their full allotment of ad space.

One of the highlights last year came courtesy of Volkswagen as they unveiled their commercial, “The Force”, which featured a young Darth Vader and a new 2012 Passat. Check out that commercial here.

Volkswagen may once again have a memorable ad for the 2012 Super Bowl. They have a teaser for their 2012 Super Bowl commercial, which includes dogs barking the Star Wars theme.


Yes, we are easily entertained.

Be sure to check out Super Bowl ads from previous years that would never air in 2012.
