The bit with the dying and the hand on the glass, now that's Nimoy comedy gold!

upvote for neat video...downvote for the stupid commercial....so nothing.

commercials like this piss me off.

The man is in AMAZING shape for 82. Good for him.

Yah, instant upvote when I heard him start that.

you fall down now.

Perfectly shows what Star Trek has become.

Someone needs an Audi and maybe a glass or two of Tranya...

What was the deal with the Stanford Audi at the end?
I don't get it.

I think it's that it drives away by itself.

yeah.. I suppose that could be it.
thanks!

I don't even know what the advertising rules are here in the Netherlands, but it really jumps out at me that the competitor is so explicitly mentioned (in the Dutch commercial Nimoy would drive an undetermined eastern europe car I would guess).
There it is at second 37, the 'CLS 550 Mercedes sucks compared to our Audi'. (I know nothing about cars, but from what I know about commercials I'm going to ahead and assume that that's actually incorrect)

My secret shame is that I actually owned the Leonard Nimoy album on which he sang 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' as well as 'Desiderada' ("go placidly amid the noise and haste...")
In my defence, it was the early-70s and the dawning of The Age of Aquarius...

It occurs to me Nimoy would make an awesome Gandalf nowadays.

Or an awesome Raistlin.

Awesome ad.
