A backwards duel
Audi created an ad that starts at the end and shows the ridiculous hijinks inspired by car envy.

Just like the presidential debate last night, we’re not sure who the triumphant one is in Audi’s “Duel” spot below. We bring politics into the conversation because (a) who isn’t talking about Clinton vs. Trump this morning?, and (b), the spot was actually created with the two antagonists fighting it out as inspiration.
The “Duel” spot, which aired during the debate in the States last night, starts with a man and a woman in the final second of a vicious battle. It runs for a minute and a half in backwards motion, and continues through a series of over-the-top fighting scenes (reminding us of the must-see “Breezeblocks” music video from artist Alt-J) as the two fight over something “beautiful.” One guess what the car brand believes that something is?
