Kingston or Gskill? Steelseries or Razer? Coke or Pepsi?

The choice of sponsors is mind-boggling, sometimes a coinflip like PvP lololol.

Anyways, cool to see this commercial, especially with iNcontrol trolling around. Honestly, I'm tempted to buy these RAM brands because of all these cool commercials, but I'm poor T_T

As others have said, the commercial is clearly a spoof on ESPN commercials with sports stars.

Felt more like The Office to me. Would also make more sense because it's much more relatable to for most. Office Space is from 1999. The Office has been airing for 7 seasons in the US alone.
Also what someone said earlier. That guy does look exactly like BJ.Novak.
The Intro, with the wobbly camera, taking a "scenic" shot of the office. It's like the parking space.
And there is no actual punchline, it's like "dry" humor. Which is exactly what would be the one typical The Office thing. Edit: Also the bland phone rings in the otherwise silent background, looking into the camera with a reaction expressing.
I liked it, hope there's follow ups. Says episode 1 in the title :O

I thought it was pretty obvious about the diamond cut thing... Kingston supports EG so much that they get diamonds embedded in their RAM sticks, which iNcontrol was using to file is nails..

iNcontrol then asks for larger diamonds, which is funny because the thought of any sized diamond being embedded in a RAM stick is absurd, let alone using it to file your nails.

Just because a TPS report is mentioned, doesn't make the whole clip or the joke a derivitave of one particular thing. In the same light, all the criteria I felt the clip adheres to don't make it another particular thing either. I just think it's not ok to just claim that it was from something. Especially since so many people, me included, don't actually get it. So yes maybe I'm totally wrong, but I even consulted google and youtube to find clips of this joke, and all I found was a qoute of the Office Space, where indeed TPS reports are mentioned, yet there is no other similarity. To add, a TPS report is an actual defined thing. It's not something made up and therefore also isn't exclusive to some kind of comedic setting.

The editing reminded me kind of an episode of The Office (US version) despite the joke being an office space commercial. The way the Kingston guy looked right at the camera reminded me a bit of Jim

It sure does beat all the MLG commercials they showed non-stop last weekend.

I think it could have been funnier though.

Woah i think you are looking way too deep into a very minor part of the commercial...

That being said... at least to Americans, the idea of a TPS report is deeply associated with the movie Office Space, which has become a giant cult classic.

In the same light, all the criteria I felt the clip adheres to don't make it another particular thing either. I just think it's not ok to just claim that it was from something. Especially since so many people, me included, don't actually get it. So yes maybe I'm totally wrong, but I even consulted google and youtube to find clips of this joke, and all I found was a qoute of the Office Space, where indeed TPS reports are mentioned, yet there is no other similarity. To add, a TPS report is an actual defined thing. It's not something made up and therefore also isn't exclusive to some kind of comedic setting.


It's a shoutout. Any reference to TPS reports is a reference to Office Space

I agree with what Kon-tiki said. It reminded me so much of the show, The Office. That's a good thing too as the show is amazing.

I totally missed that joke (as seems a significant number of other people did). Maybe I'm just weird but the thought of diamond being used in ram isn't absurd to me. They have uses as heat sinks and semiconductors. I'm not an expert so don't know how they fare compared to conventional technologies, how much is needed and what the price for industrial diamonds are so it doesn't seem impossible (just as gold is used in RAM).

Anyway gz to incontrol. At least it wasn't terrible annoying and I noticed the product, so by that standard it already beats 95% of other commercials out there.

If JTV / MLG showed more commercials like this: chill and unobtrusive, yet relevant, I'd be far more interested.

Awesome commercial =)

It's called a pop. culture reference. They existed before, but didn't become something worth using in media until Office Space perhaps.

Yea same, have no clue what the joke/punchline is about

You should watch the movie Office Space. The joke is straight out of that movie.

The stuff about "TPS reports" is a direct parody of the exact joke from Office Space.


I know that I meant the cutting of the diamond joke..


They changed the heat spreader on the new genesis line of ram. It looks like diamond.

He's using the stick of RAM as a nail file (as someone above me posted, the heat spreader has this diamond pattern on it) - so he asks if they can get the diamond cut bigger, so as to better to file his nails with.

Well, I thought the ad was cool. I understood it right away..

wut?


diamond cut:

the "X" on the ram stick probably has that pattern, because it's so small it's hard to file you nails with it :|

Yeah the diamond cut joke won't be understood by anybody except someone who has looked closely at Kingston HyperX stuff. For myself, I didn't even know Kingston HyperX was memory. I had no idea what it was, so there was no way I was going to get the diamond cut stuff.

But cool commercial anyway. Made me wonder about HyperX and I looked it up and the diamonds and everything online, so maybe it still accomplished it's purpose?

It's subtle, but the sign on the door says

Geoff "inControL" Robinson

If I was him, I would have gone all Christian Bale on their asses.

I'm Australian and haven't seen the ESPN commercial, but I think there's one with the Broncos and NRMA locally where the players work in the office. The theme works well.

Yeah I totally agree, but I guess I am not sure where they plan to air the commercial or if people who don't already own Kingston would even care. I feel like they might not care if people who don't know what they are get it because they probably won't be buying RAM.

Personally I am definitely more likely to buy Kingston just because I see them being so active in the community. I know people often say this with no real intention of following through but my brother is building a computer and I told him about a lot of the companies like this that are involved and he is going to go with them. Hopefully someone reads this and realizes these kind of campaigns and support matter.

Guys, the "diamond cut" thing is referring to iNc using the RAM, and it's little portholes on the side, as a nail file.

i totally didnt get the joke either — the diamond cut one at the end — but the commercial was very well done. Geoff did a really good job in this for sure. And I don't think he furrowed his brow once!

Honestly I thought the commercial was pretty lame but it's certainly better than any Bing commercial I've ever seen xD

I think iNcontrol was great though, for all we know he'll get a starring role in Inception 2.

Yea same, have no clue what the joke/punchline is about

You should watch the movie Office Space. The joke is straight out of that movie.

The stuff about "TPS reports" is a direct parody of the exact joke from Office Space.


Felt more like The Office to me. Would also make more sense because it's much more relatable to for most. Office Space is from 1999. The Office has been airing for 7 seasons in the US alone.
Also what someone said earlier. That guy does look exactly like BJ.Novak.
The Intro, with the wobbly camera, taking a "scenic" shot of the office. It's like the parking space.
And there is no actual punchline, it's like "dry" humor. Which is exactly what would be the one typical The Office thing. Edit: Also the bland phone rings in the otherwise silent background, looking into the camera with a reaction expressing.
I liked it, hope there's follow ups. Says episode 1 in the title :O

It may feel like the office to yoou, but its actually from office space, thats how office space starts out with bill lumburgh asking peter gibbons about the TPS reports, ive never even heard a mention of TPS reports in the office and ive watched every episode multiple times.

Here is the scene fromm office space :



This scene has been edited a bit to make it a wow commercial but its still mostly the original footage, i couldnt find a completely original one

mmm... kinda boring imo. Would have preferred it to be more humorous ala Thai-style since you got InControl to act in it.

Yes it's referring to Office Space and it's referring to the ESPN commercials, but it's also referring to The Office. The way the scene started off filming through the blinds is VERY The Office. In fact, the ESPN commercials themselves refer to The Office.

There was a lot of potential there but it just fell flat. Incontrol is a good actor though, hope to see some better written stuff in the future.

It's like ESPN commercials... but kinda completely loses what made those funny in the first place because incontrol DOES sit behind a computer all day, unlike professional athletes.

It's not that funny, but cool none the less i guess. Maybe I'm an idiot but i think alot of people wont understand what diamonds / diamond cuts have to do with anything.

...
Whether it's parodying some other TV series or advertisement, Isn't the whole point/punchline is that iNcontroL is using the RAM stick as a nail file...

Which isnt hugely zomgoodness funny, but it demonstrates that Kingston HyperX RAM is really durable where it can even be used as a nail file.

I dont know if iNcontroL is saying 'diamond coat' or 'diamond cut' or 'DIMM coat' or something, or some technical term to a special material the HyperX is meant to use on its coating, but i thought that's the main purpose, and it's just using that office setting to create a bit of hyperbole to show that message

If anything they're paying homage to ESPN and their line of commercials. Its probably a bit of a stretch but by the time MLG championships roll around we might have made enough progress to get a mention on sports center and thats pretty cool.

If nothing else "normal" commercials like this show we're a market thats starting to be taken seriously.
