Super Bowl Commercial: Audi - Godfather

For this ad, Audi reworks the classic "horse head in the bed" scene to sell their cars.

As the commercial opens, we see an exterior shot of a house followed by a pan in on Moe Greene (played by Alex Rocco) sleeping in bed. Just like in The Godfather, we see him stir and notice the stains in his bed.

Moe looks at his hands and sees the dark fluid. He throws back the covers to reveal — not a sawed off horse head, but the sawed off front end of a car. The dark liquid was not horse blood, but motor oil.

We then see the exterior of the house again, with the Audi R8 and its neat-looking running lights.

The message: This is the death of old luxury.
