I swear to Og that it has a walking penis in it! That’s what the thing looks like, and then, at the end of the ad, it turns into a one eyed monster!!! WTF were they thinking when they came up with this spot?
It’s funny, quirky, but yes, WTF were they thinking? - I can only imagine it was "Oooh, this will get us some attention! - after all it’s not as if the device itself can be sold on its intrinsic merits, because it doesn’t have any.
Well, at least by the time it turns into the one eyed monster, it looks a lot less like a penis…
I watched it without the sound.
That is among the creepiest videos ever. What the hell is a Zune?
It is Microsoft’s answer to the iPod. Nobody seems to want one, from what I can tell.
Damn, that’s creepy, in so many ways. First it’s a penis, which kinda also looks like a sperm, then the other thing is clenching its creepy buttocks, then it vomits out an eyeball, of all creepy things, then the other walking penis/sperm gets an eye on it (a nice bloodshot one, even), and the other weird thing has a big pit in it then. EEeeeeeech.
Tycho from Penny Arcade not only has one but loves it. So that’s at least one person.
[Austin Powers]There’s nothing quite like a shorn scrotum. [/AP]
That’s truly horrific, I sent it to everyone I know.
Thanks!
Reason #472 for requiring on the job drug tests.
Yeah, that ad makes me want to ditch my iPod. NOT!
You too? There’s just something about sharing the pain of that, isn’t there?
Rick, speaking as someone who’s done numerous drugs in my day, I can only assume you’ll be checking for the lack of drugs in their system, because there’s no way, in my most drug addled state that I ever would have thought that would make a good ad for anything. (Except for maybe multieyed monsters who like to do butt clenches.)
I am literally tempted to request a NSFW warning. I had to minimize my window ASAP when I saw that. Dear Og indeed.
Wow…that’s extremly penisy.
Yeah, but you are doing the good stuff. 
Apparently the ad agency can’t get the good stuff. :rolleyes:
I think it was said best by a youtube denizen:
You are all acting like this is the first time Microsoft, a butt and a penis were used in the same context.
It’s a…a…
It’s a PECKERSAURUS!!
Uh, what part of “it has a walking penis in it” did you not understand? I realize that it’s a bit [del]hard[/del] difficult to believe that such a thing could be in the ad, but it’s not like you weren’t warned about that aspect of it.
That’s my kind of dinosaur. The ad, however, is creepy. When the butt clenched, I evacuated.
That is what’s known as ‘viral marketing’. Make an ad so outrageous that everyone links to it and million of people not only see it with no cost to Microsoft, but they talk about it, talk about the product, and cement it into their brains.
And by linking to it here, and talking about it here, you are all now honorary Microsoft minions. Including me.
Here’s some viral commercials of the Ford Ka that do the same thing.
