As I was driving today, I passed by some little kids walking home from school. When I passed by, I looked over and saw one of the kids say "blue one!" and punch all of his friends. They couldn't have been more than 8 or 10......
its saying something about how effective your marketing is when kids not even close to being old enough to drive a car recognize your brands emblem so easily lol!!

I love driving my Geek Mobile around when there are kids about. I roll down my window if I see them punching each other and tell them that the Geek Mobile is worth 3 punches, one for each color and a third because it's a Geek Mobile.

one evening, dusk-ish time, i was sitting at a light with my top down and a woman and young boy on bikes stop next to me on the sidewalk. the woman says something to me, i turn down my music and look over, she repeats, "what color is your car?" i was confused and said excuse me? she said, "is it black or blue?" i said blue. she said thanks and looked at the kid who says, "i TOLD you!" i was so confused, then it clicked.

I still like the mk5 gti commercials the best along with the jetta vs prius "what does your hybrid sound like? *woosh sound*".

Herbert (aka Herbert the Pervert) is basically the resident "creepy old man." I don't think that Family Guy is promoting pedophilia, but rather pointing out/making fun of the fact that everyone seems to know or have stories of a creepy old guy. Here are some of his funny moments:

I agree with Yodis It should only apply to Bugs. My kids play the game too long before the commercial Bugs are only fair game, And you have to Say " color Punch Buggy". Daddy taught them right. MM

See I had heard it was called "slug bug"
It's funny how something starts and changes all over the place.
I've got friends in other states and when I showed them my MKV
I got so many "white one!" comments back. Also got punched by one
of the studio guys here. Game is dangerous.

I'd also only ever heard of it as "Slug bug".

Funniest story I ever had when I had a Beetle was driving down a road at 8am and watching one jogger spot me, point, then SLAM his fist into the other guy's shoulder, sending him off the sidewalk onto the grass.

I laughed and laughed.
