    So Kenny G's Mom owns the ad agency used by Audi?

    is this Audi's superbowl ad?

    He's actually good at comedy. I like the self-deprecation.

    I thought he was good, but some of the jokes were a bit stale.

    The fundamental concept that drove the original "Old" vs. "New" luxury was brilliant.

    Without getting the viewer lost in technical jargon, Audi was able to position themselves in a brilliantly different way than Mercedes.

    However, as in so many cases of "good concept" getting sent down the crapper through "poor execution" these latest ads are just awful distatasteful parodies of themselves.

    should be proud of the orinal idea, and the first generation of ads, but these latest "jumped the shark" editions are a whole 'nuther matter.

    Not nearly as funny as the ever popular self-defecation.
