THREAD HIJACK!

Basically, what the thread title says. I suggest reading through the thread to get a feel for what we're up to.

~EviLore

This post was in the DudeBro thread and I thought it definitely deserves its own thread:

Google has a new ad service that lets you run national TV ads

IMHO, we should raise a couple thousand bucks and run the Dudebro commerical folks are making on national TV a few times.

Watched the Slate video and now I'm floored with how easy google has made it for you plebes to spread your idiocy to the masses. Glenn Beck is like a nice warm apple pie compared to the rantings of some of you nut jobs.

This could also be an incredibly cheap way to try and promote a band or your viral videos. Google has done it again.

Veidt · Mar 21, 2010

No wonder evil corporations are trying to sue Google. It's like the perfect organization.

Lagspike_exe · Mar 21, 2010

How are they getting so low prices for TV time?

PetriP-TNT · Mar 21, 2010

This is brilliant, so damn brilliant

WillyFive · Mar 21, 2010

Google is king.

This will revolutionize the TV industry.

EviLore · Mar 21, 2010

NeoGAF ads on Fox News incoming!

Why would you do that? · Mar 21, 2010

Wow. That's amazing.

Does that mean that we can run political propaganda on TV cheaply? That sounds fun.

Edit: When it comes to affordability, I don't know how well this is going to work when more people catch on, though.

mightynine · Mar 21, 2010

This is the same exact system they used for radio ads - and it was a flop. So I'm interested to see how this performs.

EviLore · Mar 21, 2010

Actually, Google sent me a $100 adwords credit, could probably use that towards a TV ad for shits and giggles.

So we have to make a 15 second TV spot now.

I say you make a contest thread were the best NeoGAF commercial gets aired!

Dresden · Mar 21, 2010

15 second ad on Fox News? Is there a GAF mascot?

Why would you do that? · Mar 21, 2010

It should be submitted to Google as an animated GIF.

slider · Mar 21, 2010

Thread explosion incoming...

EviLore · Mar 21, 2010

Seriously, let's do this

Doesn't have to be elaborate, but let's do something satirical. And I can narrate the ad.

OneEightZero · Mar 21, 2010

Costanza and I were talking about this last night. Told him he should have made the damned thread. :lol

I would help donate some $$$

This sounds great except for the fact that the coolest/funniest commercials the average gaffer makes will probably not meet the standards of any station... not even Fox News.

Yeah, it needs to be a collaborative effort rather than a contest. Standards aren't very high, though:

Sample ads.

UltimaPooh · Mar 21, 2010

I say we just copy the Google ads... Except it will be someone typing out a forum post.

It ends with the Neo GAF logo.

Bit-Bit · Mar 21, 2010

I know I'm unemployed right now. But if Evillore start a Pay Pal account with a promise to make a NeoGAF ad on television, I'd donate a couple of dollars. DO IT GAF!!!

Snuggles · Mar 21, 2010

This would be incredible, a moment that would go down in history.
If you need donations or anything I'd be happy to send $10 or so towards it.

Freezer Rat · Mar 21, 2010

"Neogaf. Talk about video games. Talk about politics. Talk about zombie survival tactics. Dudebro approves, so should you."

Empty · Mar 21, 2010

yes yes yes. you can get some music from GAME or something.

crazy monkey · Mar 21, 2010

it should be dudebro killing some mofos and cut to random loli and animal dancing from OT talk and bam neogaf logo. no words just pictures. we can make few variation of this.

Blair · Mar 21, 2010

We need a celebrity to appear for 2 seconds just to say 'Believe' at the end of the ad. Micheal Cera preferably.

There was a guy who was in commercials on here. Lots of gaffers are good designers. I bet we could make an awesome commercial, I vote we put in dinosaurs and volcanoes!

gdt · Mar 21, 2010

Bit-Bit · Mar 21, 2010

Should we make it mysterious? Like a "NeoGAF.....believe....." in a whisper voice.

backflip10019 · Mar 21, 2010

Holy crap, that's awesome EviLore.

No, EviLore should appear right at the end of the commercial, smile a shiteating grin and say "Believe", then wink his eye and walk away.

Or, make it like the old PS3 commercials. :lol

Do you have a good voice? If you do this, you do it right brother. I say we just make a 15 second long mememachine with a bigass NEOGAF! at the end, then have Pedobear pop his head out of the O.

Veidt · Mar 21, 2010

oh shit. That's an awesome idea :O

Corum · Mar 21, 2010

Maybe a take on Apple's "There's an app for that" e.g. "Need relationship advice on the girl you've been stalking for the past four years, there's a thread for that.". Maybe a little past it's time for comic value though.

Yeah, because those are the type people we want posting here.

backflip10019 · Mar 21, 2010

Some of you really want to waste this opportunity by throwing Pedobear up there? Really?

Seriously. Ad could turn out great, why ruin it. I'm all for this

Songbird · Mar 21, 2010

How about a play on the NeoGaf>Internet>NeoGaf gag?

"NeoGaf! Come for gaming, stay for girl-age."

It's no 4chan. Although I don't have any suggestions for a good commercial for a forum.

Jasup · Mar 21, 2010

"How do I approach other people? I lose my eyesight every now and then, should I go to the doctor? Can I cure my kitten with pizza? Is Nintendo really for kids?

We all ponder upon these things, luckily we're nor alone. NeoGAF provides you all the answers to your life's big questions.

NeoGAF, register now."

Dresden · Mar 21, 2010

Just aim for making the worst ad ever and you'll have a classic in the making.

i_am_ben · Mar 21, 2010

:lol Now there's an idea. Personally, this is just my two cents but I think it would be hilarious to shoot something along the lines of the dick towel commercial:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xQSk-_zh-0

It's so cheap yet absolutely hilarious and memorable.
