That weird Trivago commercial that's so inescapable right now

It's weird for many reasons. What is with that old guy's insanely white teeth, for one thing.

It escaped me.

I'm fascinated by the aesthetics of prescription drug ads. They are really selling the good life, and they're an interesting commentary on how the good life is perceived.

Yes OP! We laugh and scream every time he reveals those monstrous choppers

I've seen him on something else, but can't recall where. You never forget seeing those teeth!!

His name is James Sheldon, and he's British. Though, they use AI to make him speak different languages.

I need to see the ad again, R6, but might he be Tim Williams, the original Trivago guy?

The two of them look alike (at least to me.)

They have using (what sounds like) an Italian accent. I tried to find a record of the words in the commercial because for the life of me, I can't figure out the last thing he says before he breezes out.

Anyone know? Something like "it's my secret" but it's not that. Every time it comes on, I try to figure it out and just can't. Lip reading is not helpful either.

He's some German soccer coach, and apparently the sound is dubbed.

Someone on Reddit referred to the teeth as Muppet White. I'm going with that.

Ok, it just came on again, and the last line starts with "Trivago is..." and I can't understand the rest.

Anyone? Sometimes wish commercials have close captioning as well.

It excaped me.

The multiple posting of the same ad is really annoying. 🙄

by Anonymousreply 13January 10, 2025 7:01 AM

Eureka! And a slap to my head! R4, R6, R10

The guy with the teeth is Jürgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager, watching from the stands as they accept their Premier League trophy today.

R11 I thought he was saying Trivago is my secret hack, but it is really hard to tell.

You can't help but compare this guy to the previous handsome guy for Trivago - I believe the previous guy had some drug issues.

This new guy is a bad replacement - he's much older, lot more wrinkles, not as handsome, and those teeth are fucking off-putting. Creepy even.

It has a German feel to it like a Mentos commercial. "Americans like friendly funny young people, let's have them do quirky things like going through someone's car at a stop sign and exiting the other, then both people smiling as he eats Mentos".

Feels very much what a German thinks an American commercial should be like. This time - "Americans are known to love perfect white teeth, let's get a guy with those!" Ugh - noooo, not like THAT.

This guy feels like a Temu version of the old spokesman. I hate it and can't stop comparing the two.

Klopp is considered among, if not the, top soccer managers today.

Yes, the new ad guy in Jurgen Klopp. I, too, wondered if it wasn't Tim Williams, the original Trivago guy.

See Klopp at today's Liverpool awards presentation at approximately 1:00pm Eastern on USA and Peacock.

(Have I mentioned I hate Peacock!!?)

Trivago sounds like a travel app.

You're in the big leagues now...

by Anonymousreply 21May 25, 2025 5:59 PM

R15, R11: Klopp's character says "Trivago's my secret tactic" at the end of the commercial. Makes sense from a coaching point of view⚽️

by Anonymousreply 22May 25, 2025 8:39 PM

The guy in the ad looks way older than this Jurgen Klopp above, are we sure it isn’t his monstrously-veneered father?
