Who all has recently signed up with AT&T because they were influenced by one of their kids commercials with about 50 different variations?

is that the commercial with the roundtable discussion with an adult and kids that was on during the basketball games? Those things were annoying to me. I can't remember who they were advertising though, so I could be thinking of an entirely different set of commercials.

That dude has some other funny clips on YouTube. Look up "Fresh Perspectives". Of course, if you hate kids, or hate kids who don't belong to you, you probably won't find the videos very amusing.

i like candid kids (I have friends with some hilarious offspring) but tend to find commercials that seem to scream "omg kids say funny things" annoying . I only saw a couple of these though so I dono. The few I saw just got on my nerves for some reason. i also didn't like the "comfy sweater" commercial several years ago and was in the extreme minority on that I think haha.

I have not

when those at&t ads first came out, i thought they were a blatant rip-off of another commercial that had recently come out featuring kids saying funny things. but, at this point, i can't even remember what the previous ad was.

I myself can't believe those kinds of ads would bring customers in myself

3/24/2013 5:51:58 PM

^ I'd say that about many ads.

3/24/2013 6:00:13 PM

I think some of those ads are funny. They aren't convincing me to switch to AT&T or anything though...

I get the impression that these kinds of commercials aren't necessarily to get you to change to that service in particular, but to keep the brand name in your consciousness so when you are looking for a provider, you will have that name in your mind.


You ever go somewhere and there are two products similarly priced, with one you've seen on tv and one you haven't heard of? You probably pick the one you've heard of, even if you remember nothing from the commercial.

Agreed.

Agreed. It's probably more about brand recognition, like a Coke or Pepsi commercial.

I don't give a fuck about those kids. Fuck this troll thread

3/24/2013 10:40:34 PM

The only funny, well semi-funny, commercials are the ones where 1)the kid says nikki flash rhymes and the host is just silent (for a while). It would have been funnier if the host remained silent. 2) the girl who explains more vs less (the explanation is very annoying), but the semi-funny part is the host saying "I follow you".

pickle roll is cute

3/24/2013 10:47:49 PM

I liked the one where the little black kid is "doing tow things at once" and the AT&T guy is "amazed" and gives the other little girl the hand when she tries to interrupt.

3/25/2013 7:54:38 AM

pickle roll was awesome

3/25/2013 1:03:26 PM

Just realized AT&T was overcharging me (by double) for my DSL service. No clue how I didn't notice that over the last few months. So screw them for that. But a quick call has hopefully reversed this shit.

3/25/2013 1:05:06 PM

i like the one where the girl says its better to play in a big arena, then she says she believes in herself and the adult high fives her, then the other girl, then when he high fives krallum it hurts his hand

3/25/2013 1:11:11 PM

3/25/2013 1:54:38 PM

How come the black kid is the only one that knows what a pick and roll is?

3/29/2013 10:49:53 PM

no idea, thats a good question

I've always thought that about naming rights for arenas, stadiums, sports leagues etc...

Like I am going to be persuaded into banking with PNC just b/c the arena is named after it.

Anything Light beer related as well, your commercials may be amusing but if I am going to lower myself to buying a light beer, I'll buy whatever is in on special that week.

in the commercial with Magic, Kareem, etc, whats up with the host dude being out-of-breath-as-fuck after a couple high-fives?
