Trying to find a certain commercial

[Cat]

There's some fairly beat-heavy music, a normal person driving, and this ... fuzzy thing vigorously head nodding in time with the music. I'm trying to find a movie of it to show to my coworkers, or at the very least some clues to what it was.

This is a car commercial, and i've only seen it once. Can't remember what company. The little headbanger is also in a "techno-ish" video as well, where he mixes on turn tables.

Isn't that a commercial for some jeans company a few years back?

i thought that puppet was from domino's 'bad andy, good pizza' campaign but then used in other places. He's thumping his finger up and down to the beat too, right?

The video he is in is:

Mr. Oizo - 'Flat Beat'

Pretty sure I know exactly which one you're talking about, but the site I would usually point you to for it has been down for a couple weeks now. They referred to it as "Jammin' with Eric" IIRC.

apparently so. From this site: The song was first used in a couple of Levi's TV commercials (_Sta-Prest_), where Flat Eric - a 76cm small yellow puppet created by Quentin Dupieux for his short film _Crispy Beacon_ - cruises around in an old car with his friend Angel.

If you can read Danish, or whatever this language is.

Just do a google search for "Flat eric". You'll find a ton of sites...
