Here in the states, Kermit and the gang sell us Pizza Hut pizza. In Germany the muppet behind “It’s not easy being green” gets to experience the thrill of German engineering behind the wheel of a BMW.

I’m way behind on this meme, having found out about the commercial, which aired in June, only tonight.

Eirikso has some great info on the spots, including a temporarily unavailable link to a making of documentary and some other great background information. You can find links to all the images and video from the campaign there.

You can still see parts of the campaign, “Prinzip Freunde” (“the principle of joy”), in action online at http://www.prinzip-freude.de/
