DEFCON Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'm not in a position to answer any of the questions in your poll, but the ad is not something I find appealing in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It's caffeinated soda pop with 5-10% juice (depending on which flavour) being marketed as a "healthier" way to start your day. Obvious BS and I gotta say if the wall to my living room ever opens to a dancing, singing mutant I'm more likely to kill it with the fireplace poker than to follow it out into the world in a conga-line. Now clearly I'm not in the target audience - a black coffee starts my day - but I predict failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Whenever someone creates a thread about this ad, on any board, it only goes to show you it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that thought too - the goal was to create an image/mascot/theme that was so unique that you couldn't help but to remember it. The only problem is that even though I've seen the video dozens of times since it first aired during the Superbowl I still had to go back to the video and re-watch it to be reminded what the product was - I remembered puppymonkeybaby but not the product. Puppymonkeybaby = Mountain Dew Kickstart? Not to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, whenever I see a TAG Heuer commercial, all I can think about is Maria Sharapova. I'd be concerned if, any time you saw a picture of Ms. Sharapova, you immediately thought of a nice watch ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp fa Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Creepy, icky, cringeworthy. I was never going to buy the product anyway because it sounds gross, and im sure I'm not the target audience, but I found myself grimacing while I was watching it thinking "what idiot approved that?"

J.O. Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I know lots of pilots who love their watches. Not one of them would trade the chance to have a date with Ms. Sharipova for a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kids are grown up now, but I'll bet when they were teens, their tastes often surprised you. The idiot that approved that is probably getting a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blues deville Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Hard to believe this ad campaign got to see the light of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp fa Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 This says it all: "Watch it a few times – it keeps getting better!" http://www.superbowlcommercials2016.org/mountain-dew/ It's they they know it's bad so they're asking you to keep watching it till you like it. Seems desperate. Anyway, that's my two cents. Carry on with Maria Sharipova and your big watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
