We guarantee you'll go out of your Vulcan mind watching this new car commercial starring Spock ... and Spock.
The Audi ad shows Leonard Nimoy (Spock from
Star Trek
's original series) and Zachary Quinto (Spock from
Star Trek: Into Darkness
, which premieres May 17) looking for new challenges after Nimoy wins a chess match.
"You want to play a round of golf in the club and get some lunch? Whoever gets to the club last buys lunch," Quinto says to his predecessor.
"Stand by to have your wallet emptied by a tractor beam," responds Nimoy.
The result is two minutes full of
Star Trek
jokes as the older and slower Nimoy struggles with his golf clubs and navigation and Quinto enjoys a smoother ride. But you'll have to watch the video to see who wins.
Hours after the commercial was uploaded, Nimoy
- smugly tweeted
-
"Always enjoy my friend @zacharyquinto. But trying to beat me out of a free lunch is not logical. LLAP", with the last part referring to his famous line from
- Star Trek
-
"Live long and prosper."
The pair also enjoyed screen time together in 2009 during the first of the rebooted
Star Trek
films.
