I've seen these commercials hundreds of times and I still don't buy any of their shit in the store. weird.

Yeah, we should totally eat cheeseburgers with a knife and fork. -_-
What ? I don't give a shit if you eat your burgers with your toes, the point is the marketing is awful. Its not hip, its not witty, its just boring as fuck and totally pointless.
"So how can we make these commercials wicked and witty" "I know lets show a man that has a censored behind, that will totally bring in all the hip youngsters" "Holy shit thats a good idea, can we slaughter it even more?" "Yeah lets put a really shitty comment in there about old people telling them to put a fork in it, young people will totally get it" "This is actually totally shit. Lets do it"
Are you some sort of marketing expert then?
You have to admit. These commercials are becoming tiresome. It would be nice if they could switch it up with new ads. We've seen these all at raleigh,d.c. and dallas now.
it's been like this with MLG forever, I have a feeling that they just get a commercial from a sponsor and loop it until they get a new one.. =/...

What would an MLG starcraft event be without constantly being reminded that Kiss is so popular they have midget cover bands and that the 'top slayer' (whatever that means) on 'final boss' is fearitself (whoever that is)?
The cropping on the stream when Day9 and guest are on looks odd but I think it's only because the black tops on the monitors really throws off the 'rule of thirds' by making the bottom of the video seem higher than it really is.
The brackets are silly, why are there like 50 million 1st round byes?
In Halo, the main slayer is the player whose role is to get the most kills on the team.
Liquid should have taken a few oGs guys with them on the flight back. It would be interesting to see someone like Iron or similar players who underperformed a bit in the GSL in a foreign tournament. Would be a good way to get some foreign fans, and maybe a little confidence boost.

looks like Sheth ninja'd his way out of mlg again.
Yeah Axslav said Sheth dodged him. Pretty funny after LuckyFool's preview thread...
The thread wasn't the reason lol, bigger reason is the fact that Sheth hasn't shown up to a LAN like....pretty much ever. Qualified or not, invited or not, open or not.

Yeah, I can see the old spice commercials being ironic for sure. But the rest, especially the Hot Pocket ones? And yeah, after looking at those, the brand is ingrained, yes. I'll know never to buy Dr. Pepper and Hot Pockets. Vote with your wallet and what not.

I've done marketing in Uni, yes.
Ooooh a class in Uni? Well I take it all back then...
shut up hes pretty damn correct, also even if he wasnt a marketing expert it makes him part of the general public, and if some of the public think the commercial is stupid and a fail and does not make them want the product at all it is infact a marketing failure.

no kidding i think they just take whatever players aren't already in game and cast that one...which is a real pity but at least they are casting a reasonable number of games (blizzcon anyone?)
