The [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vw-gewrz-ketchup-brand) Game Day trailer teases what will be its fifth Super Bowl commercial. This year’s ad will hopefully be the result of its algorithm to craft the perfect Super Bowl ad. In this teaser, it’s revealed that the recipe includes babies, puppies, groin hits, Carmen Electra and a host of other costumed characters.

This test run for the perfect Volkswagen Super Bowl ad initially seems to be going off without a hitch, but with so many variables, things quickly spin into chaos. The commercial is fun and certainly filled with things both Super Bowl fans and the Internet will love. However, it remains to be seen how Volkswagen will achieve perfection on Super Bowl Sunday.
