Trivago guy pitchman found passed out in car

"The actor best known as the pitchman for the travel website Trivago is making headlines, and it has nothing to do with booking vacations to exotic destinations. Tim Williams, 52, was arrested in Houston on Wednesday after he was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle with his foot on the brake in a moving lane of traffic, according to the Houston Chronicle. The Houston native reportedly failed a field sobriety test and was arrested. He was released on bond, the Chronicle reported, and is now facing DWI charges."

Trivago Guy has collapsed!

I was trotting along and suddenly

it started raining and snowing

and you said it was hailing

but hailing hits you on the head

hard so it was really snowing and

raining and I was in such a hurry

to meet you but the traffic

was acting exactly like the sky

and suddenly I see a headline

Trivago Guy has collapsed!

there is no snow in Hollywood

there is no rain in California

I have been to lots of parties

and acted perfectly disgraceful

but I never actually collapsed

oh Trivago Guy we love you get up

No, because that didn't happen. Speculation by lonely fraus in their sad last days of uterine wall deterioration doesn't mean it happened. Stop trying to make it happen.

Oh, and there is no 'we.' Internet troll farm minions use that because they're instructed to by guards. It sounds ridiculous and shows a clear lack of self-awareness.

He always had that dirty drunk daddy look going for him. This is actually brilliant marketing. Even when he emerges from the bathtub in the new Trivago commercial I thought to myself is he coming up from a bad bender? And someone dropped him in that tub to sober up?

The very first Trivago add dressed him very sloppy. He was kind of hot for his age, but also dirty looking. His commercial went viral because no one could figure out if this was some brilliant marking to get people talking about that Trivago guy or just happy mistake. After that one commercial I noticed they dressed him a lot better and he became their Flow. They got lucky. Now I think they purposely play that up.

by Anonymousreply 70April 12, 2019 9:45 AM

Another vote for “seedy”.

And if I’m not mistaken, they dub another voice over his. There’s something weird about the way the voice doesn’t seem to come from him.

Those commercials creep me out. Although I do remember the name “Trivago”, so I guess they work.
