Brief Explanation

Nowhere do people swear as much as in everyday city traffic. In our TV commercial we show the effect: swearing kids that learned from their swearing parents. The message: When you drive the wrong car, you teach the wrong words. The solution: with the smart forfour, the smart among the fourseaters, young families ride more relaxed through the city.

The casting for smart "Swearing Kids“ was very likely the most funny one in our careers. We literally casted children who would swear passionately, telling them this was the ONLY time they were allowed to say such words and that it was a big exception. Interestingly, just like adults, not every kid has a talent to swear. But we are happy to have found a bunch of kids who really nailed it in the end.
