Trivago ad guy with the teeth

He's an Internet "thing" now.

I used to check Trivago when I was travelling a lot for art history, long before this ad. It was ok.

my next trip. However, it does make this company stand out. I have used several travel agencies to find one that fit what I was looking for specifically and wound up using Road Scholar more often than not, because I could find a better selection of art related trips with it.
