Old Spock vs New Spock in car commercial

Old Spock battles New Spock in the greatest car commercial ever

Sorry, Volkswagen Darth Vader Kid. This new Audi commercial, starring both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto, has beat you. You've got two Spocks smack-talking each other, Leonard Nimoy cursing, and best of all, an impromptu rendition of the "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins."

Now I kind of want to buy an Audi just on principle.

H/t to Dara!


I especially like Leonard Nimoy singing the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Who cares about the ballad? Nimoy FSNPing Quinto just made my day :D

'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'

I like how they're playing iPad 3D chess at the beginning- it's the little touches like that that make this.

Old school always wins. That is an awesome commercial full of references for the fans. Audi knows their stuff.

The NP had us on the floor. I wish that was Shatner and Pine in the car that pulled up.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
