Watch the Samsung Ad and Vomit in the Mouth

[thatoneguy82]

Well, yes, but you did watch it to the end. So I'd say its a success.

Touché. However, only watched till the end since I was curious as to what the guy would do. I watched it more for the stalker/d-bag/creeper guy than the watch. I'm not really sure this ad would do much to tempt people to buy it unless they're like the guy in the ad.

Just bought three (one for each wrist and an extra) . Man that ad was convincing.

Well heading to the mountain for the holiday to film girls without them knowing and then show them my handy work

Do you really think this ad is going to convince people to buy their smart watch?

This ad is telling you that Samsung is for cool young people? More like Samsung is for creepy, Euro trash stackers.

This ad was terrible, and I'm not a Samsung hater. I liked their ads that mocked the people standing in lines for iPhones (and I can relate because I've been one of those guys). It actually pushed me to research and buy the GS4. I returned it but I never would have tried had it not been for that ad.

THAT was an effective ad. This ad was an amateurish waste of everyone's time.

Another cringe inducing ad from the company that wishes they were Apple.

was quite funny...creepy though and not realistic.

Why would they wish they were a company they are already better than?

how did it even take those pics i dont get it

 

[NewbieCanada]

These companies don't make the ads at all. They pay people to do it for them most of the time so it has no effect on the product being made.

Even if they did make them internally, it wouldn't be the same people who design the phones.

Is she going to sleep with him or the Gear watch? I got money on the Gear.

You know you're on a hardware geek forum when...

You know you're on a hardware geek forum when 34 posts go by and not one references the girl was hot.

Not only did I vomit, I was feeding my three month old son and he joined in too.

Not safe for children.

 

[Mr D]

this is beyond terrible.

 

[sjinsjca]

I liked this ad. It was nice to see Zoll all growed up an' hittin' on the chicks.

 

[dojoman]

Samsung, running out of ideas when they're not making fun of Apple or copying them.

 

[kdarling]

I think it goes over most people's heads.

Samsung's agency likes to make ads that are over the top like this.

Ads which mock the idea of nerds using tech to attract women, or the tech itself conveying coolness.

 

[soulreaver99]

Nothing beats the horrible Galaxy S4 product announcement.

 

[PollyK]

OK, so if Samsung's ads are thought to be so horrible by many here for the most part, why do so many here attribute their success to all their ads. Hmmmm... Maybe it's because their devices are indeed that much better than the competition after all.

Nice way to try and sidetrack the discussion of the Ad in the OP. No one in their right mind can say that is, at the very least, terrible.

 

[F123D]

That ad was awkward as hell but the internet is talking about it and I think that's what Samsung wants.

 

[Alfuh]

Exactly. I can only think of two things here:

1. They are REALLY out of touch with their audience ... unlikely because some of their other ads have been great. The one with the guy saving a spot in line for his parents at an iPhone launch comes to mind.

2. They intentionally made the ad bad and not even in an obviously purposeful way ... because it leads to discussions like this.

 

[Lloydbm41]

That was the greatest ad of all time! I want a Gear watch right now, because the ad shows I can get hot, Austrian snow boarders if I stalk them with this product.

Nice way to sidetrack from my point.

No, that's HTC's job.

As long as Touchwiz exists that will never be true.

You don't have to use touchwiz if you don't like it. You actually have choice
