Audi Super Bowl Commercial Proves Only Good Vampire Is a Dead One

The Super Bowl were up on their quota of giggles this year, and it started off with one of the more highly applauded commercials of this week. 

Audi wants you to notice their super sweet headlights. Touting something like high beams isn't the sexiest commercial decision in the world, but Audi found a way to make it memorable. 

The first few commercials delivered on the promise that this year would be great for ad watching. Sure we have seen most of them, but seeing a cheetah chase down an idiot was fun on so many levels, and we thank Hyundai for that. 

The commercial that started it off, though, was Audi and their Vampire slayer. It didn't take Sarah Michelle Gellar to destroy a party of vampires. 

In the end, it took a living dead idiot who showed up with Audi's super bright lights on. That was all that was needed for one vampire after the next to get blown into dust, sent to oblivion. 

Here is the thing. I grew up during and age when vampires were pretty damn cool. If they weren't scary like in the movie Fright Night, they were busy hanging out with Jamie Gertz, like in The Lost Boys. 

Then Twilight came to steal every last notion about night killers away. Little did we know that vampires can be lame, just like the rest of us. 

It took a car company to come in and at least make vampires funny. That is far better than the sparkling emo mess they have been the past few years. 

It may not be the laugh riot you would hope for, or even a barrel-full of LOL's and ROFL's, but it was cathartic. 

We have all been waiting to kill vampires since that first infernal movie dropped into theatres. Now we got exactly what we have been screaming for, a bunch of dead vampires. Thank you super sweet headlights.
