Copy that on all counts!!!!   Eeeeewwwwwwww.

I have nice'd up this comment in case he happens to read it or hear about it.  Everybody has feelings!  Why Trivago decided HE should be their Spokesman is beyond me!  I'm hoping, his 'homeless, I'm an alcoholic from way back' self, owns Trivago.  That would make me feel so much better about having to see this guy on my TV every darn night!


Your husband....is wrong.  And his arms not AS stumpy as his legs....given the length of his torso.
First time in my life so far I have been relegated to this level of be-atchy.

There is so much that just BOTHERS me about this guy, all of which have been named. I must say to find this forum makes me feel so much better about my uncontrollable hatred of this guy. Mostly I just want him to hike up his GD pants and put a belt on. That weirdly long torso is perverse.

That's what it is about him; he seems like a freaking dirty pervert. That voice reminds me of a skeevy guy in a bar who is trying to talk to you and since your mother always taught you to be nice you are. But he takes being nice as you're into him and he comes at you with that "sexy" (TOTALLY EFFING CREEPY!) voice, like "yeah you like that don't you?" that makes you shudder and your skin crawl.

I'm afraid Trivago is just a front for some illegal business trying to lure people into booking a hotel with them because all the rooms they offer are equipped with video cameras or they'll kidnap guests for the sex trade.

Yes I've gone off the deep end. But just wait. Some freaky stuff will come out about this guy.

Trivago is a valid, German company, they do drum up a lot of business...but  they could have done themselves a little favor by simply having the guy change clothes between breaks for the takes of each commercial. Would certainly have made it seem like they didn't rush through everything in one afternoon with the first cheap GermTexan rock star they could find at a corner gasthaus.
One previous poster points out the terrible clothing style. Great point. The shirt looks like something worn by 'Leisure Suit Larry', the jeans really look like women's low-line hip-huggers. When put together on him, the first thought is someone had a bad day picking out clothes at the Salvation Army second-hand store.

I'm finding the level of hatred here kinda comical.  He's not really all that bad, is he?  A little sloppy, maybe, and in need of a shave...but he just doesn't seem so horrible to me.  Hell, Brad Pitt looks worse than that most of the time, doesn't he?  LOL

Yea...but you know who Brad Pitt is.
This poor soul just leaves one pulling their children back ("How many times have I told you 'Don't Talk to Strangers!'?!"), if not even just appearing the person one would not choose to approach to ask directions...he's a little 'concerning', if not 'creepy'.
Heck, I would be a much better spokesman with a better taste in clothing. Trivago ought to go ahead and send me a check now.

Maybe I'm just used to that unshaven, drab look from having lived in San Francisco so long.  And I'm not even talking about the bums.  I'm talking about the aging cool cats there, who've cultivated a particular sort of "I'm too cool to care" look.

That style is everywhere. Heck, half the time *I* look just as handsome - people on Wolfy Island that don't know me think I'm the bum on the bicycle who sleeps behind the dumpster, which is fine by me. Having said that, I 'clean up' so much better that if I wasn't me, I'd probably ask me out for a 'play date', once all spiffied-up.

The slob look I see in the 'burbs is different than the urban slob look.  In the burbs, we're just slobs.  In San Francisco, the look is different.  It has an actual Holocaust-in-biker-shorts quality to it.

This guy doesn't really bother me, at least he's not screaming at me at the top of his lungs like the Travelocity gnome.

It's not about some STYLE; not even about what he's wearing, forget, the stubble thingy pervades and is cliche but does not repulse....it's an underlying repulsiveness he broadcasts in every way: his face, his voice, his affect.....but OK, his very odd body proportions too.....tho, that they put him in a lite shirt and black jeans just makes the latter more glaring.

He really doesn't look as bad as many people think; there's quite an overreaction going on.


Think Pharrell in linen.

NOT ABOUT FABRIC.  This guy's sleazoid essence goes far deeper than fabric.

You object too much, which suggests you have a repressed desire for him.

It's like the dilemma faced by the loudest, most virulent homophobes, who would feel better if they'd admit to themselves that they really want to be bent over and reamed. Such inward torment gets projected outward, causing needless misery for others.

Embrace your desire...cry out 'Trivago Guy!' the next time you jill off. If your husband's OK with it, do some role-playing: have him get some tight black jeans, a dark linen shirt, go unshaven for a couple of days, and speak laconically to you.

Dude doesnt bother me. Annoying song in the background does, however. And while it may foster brand recognition, it's not positive recognition.

The fact that he's approaching me with his shirt unbuttoned and discussing hotels creeps me out.

Nevermind the fact that he looks like someone who lives on the streets.

I noticed that in the new ones, he's shaved, he's dressed a little better, and his hair seems to have taken on an odd beige color.

I've seen the new one, he looks well dressed in a blue suit with a red tie. He is also farther in the background too. He's not in-your-face.

Disregard that, he's wearing a blue buttoned up shirt and his hair is looking clean.

I just caught the new commercial and pounced on my computer to post an update, but I see that several people beat me to it...

It's definitely an improvement over the "bum on a bender" commercials.
