I suggest submitting a picture of the Travelocity gnome as your #trivagoguy makeover contest entry. Travelocity's search algorithm and more likable spokesperson/spokesgnome make it superior to Trivago in every way. Don't let them capitalize on our pure and authentic hate for the Trivago guy!

VERY SMART POST!!!!!Clap   And anyone this campaign gets over on....would, by definition, be a silly putty/malleable to begin with.

I agree!  Tho I think it's not physiological, I think it's that he is FAUX and all about trying to come across as some version of cool and macho.  Soooooo creepy.

Cute!  And I don't disagree, tho I do Tweet very occasionally, cause other means of expression/communication on the net (notice this) are diminishing.  

But for me, the illusions at the heart of both sites are wicked scary, but I am not replulsed on every level in the atypical (if not unique) ways this phony, posturing, repulsive actor manages within me.

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed out the washed out color of his shirt reads terribly on TV. Then the stylist says, " let's roll up your sleeves up for a more relaxed look".

Instead of a travel site, he should be the spokesman for burlapshirts.com. Just horrendous.

The stroke dude is still on.. Don't we have enough of these sites/apps? I should start my own. It should be "doyouwannagoonf**kinvacationornot.com". Million dollar idea, looking for investors..

He is indeed unhygienic looking and smarmy.  But, hey! He is appealing to the unwashed masses; the ugly Americans that the Germans believe they are appealing to as those folks featured at Walmart.com.......sad commentary.

It's November, new ad. Still looks like a bum.
He did sport a clean shave and a blazer in his last commercial. Guess he fell off the wagon again.Ouch

Trivago guy makeover, before-and-after.

My wife thinks he's hot now, with the George Clooney hairstyle.

I really dont understand all the venom directed at this guy. He's not hot, but some of you make him sound like the worst thing on two feet. I must be missing something. He just looks like an ordinary, average guy who needs a shave.

Looks like he just got a half-inch trim, and put on a shirt that doesn't show the wrinkles.  Makes a difference, I guess.

XMAS 2014.
NEW Tim Williams Trivago Ad *I* saw today - maybe it isn't new, maybe others have seen it.
Williams as spokesman is in a business suit (including tie) and has a true, conservative haircut & combing. I was shocked, but not much.

Has the Trivago guy achieved commercial immortality such as Progressive Flo, GEICO Gecko, Toyota Jan, and others? Even the Energizer Bunny seems to have run out of juice. I'm surprised he was not resurrected this Christmas due to all the batteries not included.

He has been - just saw ANOTHER new one. No suit, but better attire and still a lot more cleaned up.

I just saw this one.  A haircut, a shave and a suit.  Looks like he's off the alcohol.

Can't seem to find the video on either Youtube or iSpot.  Usually, iSpot has it all.
