No relation to the car and brand, how am I remembering Audi? It left no impression of the brand, was just a funny skit for a movie. Mirrored to previous Audi campaigns, this was pretty low quality. They should've focused on the male protagonist, he aligns more with the brand tone.
Fail... Not expected such b-ad from Audi.

Why did Audi need to do this??? Vanessa Bayer could/should have done this on SNL instead.
I think this commercial is funny. Fifty Shades of Gray is a really hot topic right now and there is a large range of people who are really excited for the movie and people who absolutely hate it and love anything that makes fun of it. I think this commercial allows for both of those types of people to view it. There are the people that like making fun of the movie that would share it with their friends. Then the people that are for the movie would bring this commercial to fame by talking negatively about it. I think using current hot topics is a great way to connect with consumers. It shows that the company is with the times and it also allows the company to related to its consumers. This specific commercial probably wouldn't influence you to buy a car, but it could definitely give the company some popularity.

Too bad people won't be able to see the connection until after they've seen the movie, which sort of defeats the purpose of this teaser. Audi cars feature prominently in the film.

Venables, if you want to express spontaneity don't use that look dude, you're suspending my disbelief. If you want to make a kind of spin-off of the movie, don't use that limited narrowness of reactions.. and dare.
Neither flesh nor fowl.
Next time will be better.
I think this ad is really funny and a hot topic. Fifty Shades of Grey, the most unlikely Valentine's Day film ever, is opening over Valentine's Day Weekend. It is like an American fairy tale for women. Casting directors gave Audi a number of plum assignments, the German carmaker landing the roles of A3, S7, S8, R8 V10 Spyder, and Q7. That part is not surprising.
What is surprising is this most unlikely spoof that Audi of America worked up with Saturday Night Live cast member Vanessa Bayer, playing off that elevator scene in the film. After watching it, we felt like Audi looked at us and said, "Oh yeah, we just did that." It's not NSFW, but - like the movie it parodies - this is all about the adult content. We liked it. But would it be too much to say we didn't see this one coming?

This is not cool. It would be better if she was only hitting on audi drivers.
Nice init
