ass sauce
Has anyone seen this garbage?
For those who haven't, its a commercial for back to school clothes featuring a bunch of mod kids dressed like preps, each one supposed to represent a character from The Breakfast Club. I guess they all try to re-create all the scenes of the movie throughout this commercial and it makes me want to throw up.
Its corny, it stupid and I want to take who ever came up with this marketing ad at JCP corporate and put them in front of a firing squad. This is the problem with some of these so called marketing people and our pop culture today. They take whats classic and try to re-do it and completely make asses out of themselves.
Oh, and the worst part, they remade the Simple Minds song, "Don't You Forget About Me" by some skateboard band that totally pours ass sauce all over the whole thing. I'm going to break the record of all-time TV destroying because I have to shoot the television every time this crap comes on.
Will someone please rescue us from all this nonsense?!?
Would have been a lot cooler if they got the original cast. Most of them are looking for work anyways. Guess they'd have to go digital to get Paul Gleeson in there though.
lol that was New Found Glory who did a cover for that song. they do covers for a lot of popular movie songs.
Maybe I'm just getting old but I just can't buy into that. Some things are better left alone.
I can't stand it anymore. Good-bye cruel world...
I agree.
Dockers
new found glory should stick to writing their own ty songs and not all over other people's.
It was an interesting concept, I thought. The only problem I had with it was that The Breakfast Club is a stupid movie.
advertising not marketing
go hand in hand.
Their homage to The Deer Hunter didn't do as well in focus groups.
I was talking to my mom about this last night. ing disgusting.
I love The Breakfast Club.
nope...
the ad agency is saatchi and saatchi i think.
terrible commercial btw. the movie industry is running out of new ideas and so are the ad agencies apparently.
don draper would have thrown his whiskey glass at this creative team
Do they office is Dallas as well? I hope so because I'm driving up the tollway to go kick someone's ass over at JCP corporate already...
First time I saw it I nearly myself....had the remote in hand ready to break. I thought it was some kind of Nickelodeon remake. I ing melted down right in my living room and my wife was like "what...what the is it, what the is going on" then I realized it was a commercial...I was still kinda pissed.
Wow, you're like the defender of all that's original.
, allright i came to the conclusion that after watching the video on youtube, that the comercial tribute was horrid.
I think the idea or marketing gimmick was a great idea. It not only brings nostalgia to the 30 somethings with kids in school who could eat this thing up, but it turns on the new generation to a classic movie who should be required material to watch. The execution of it is another story.
Just that there were too many kids in the comercial, they also tried to make it politicaly correct by adding two black kids, and the rebel looked like a prep, and not a rebel.
Well if you're a 90 year old women I'd probably not defend your "original" sagging rack.
Wilco is country music for guys who wear dockers.
that doesn't make anysense. But you have a hot wife. you.
What killed me the most was the girl wearing the Nirvana t-shirt. I can see the guys who wrote the commercial discussing this one.
Ad Exec 1: Well so far we're ing this up big time, The Breakfast Club was all about a band of misfits, and instead we've littered our commercial with a bunch of y Abercrombie teenagers in trendy clothes. How do we fix this?
Ad Exec 2: Why not put one of those dumbass kids in a band t-shirt. The band's got to be dark, edgy, and rebellious.
Ad Exec 1: Hmmmm....how about Nirvana? Those guys are rebellious, right?
Ad Exec 2: Yeah they're totally out there! They're so edgy and rebellious that they sold tens of millions of albums!
Ad Exec 1: We're smart.
