So, I had to make a commercial for advertising production class. Give me a break I'm a photographer, this is my first time using Video Camera and nice editing software.

It's more than one click away.

4/29/2008 3:14:01 PM

I don't really know what happened in the last 3 seconds. I guess the girl represented hunger? I'm not sure why she had poo all over her mouth though.

are you the guy in the video?


you're cute

4/29/2008 5:18:29 PM

4/29/2008 5:19:57 PM

you could have done better than that

you know like, actually advertising the product instead of doing 20 seconds of something nobody understands

4/29/2008 5:20:53 PM

hahaha wtf?

4/29/2008 5:21:00 PM

If you had advertised Cook-Out as bearing a strong resemblance to a mini-mall, I would have found it more appealing.

4/29/2008 5:25:34 PM

^lol

4/29/2008 5:29:16 PM

haha, I'm surprised no one caught this.....

It's Hunger Pangs, not Hunger Pains

4/29/2008 5:35:47 PM

TRY AGAIN

4/29/2008 5:56:44 PM

Interesting... the youtube upload truncated the video for some reason. A bit is missing on the front and tail end.

Anyway, sorry poops - it's not me. My good friend James and his girl Jade beating each other up in the MU hallways. Good times. We also did about $45 worth of product shots and ate it all (there's 3 of us behind the camera).

4/29/2008 7:53:24 PM

was that a final project? ....

4/29/2008 7:57:25 PM

^^^^ lol I caught it.

4/29/2008 7:58:06 PM

that sucks

I could have done better than that using less then 1/10th of my intellect

Your video editing skills have nothing to do with the content of the video, just the quality.

4/29/2008 8:35:46 PM

Dude....that was pretty bad.

4/29/2008 8:37:33 PM

haha that was fucking gay

4/29/2008 8:38:04 PM

i think it worked cause now i want cookout. but i think just mentioning cookout would work just as well.

4/29/2008 8:43:42 PM

The point is to associate funny with cookout. Tell your buddies about it at work, laugh, eat cookout for lunch. Probably close to 1000 views by now, not too shabby.

4/30/2008 12:21:34 AM

watched ... not half bad. high five

4/30/2008 12:22:09 AM

you should have made a commercial with me fucking hunger

4/30/2008 12:25:57 AM

Dude has hair like a Fisher Price man

Worst commercial I've ever seen

4/30/2008 12:26:04 AM

^^^why thank you

This thread has 488 views, that video has 167. So most if not all of those views are from this thread.

And i agree with others on the terribleness of the commercial.

It reminded me too much of those commercials with the hand coming out of the kids stomach and fighting him (I can't remember what product this was for though). Personifying hunger is lame and played out.

4/30/2008 12:30:04 AM

i would have appreciated some sort of catchy jingle AT LEAST

COOK OUT
GET SUM

4/30/2008 12:33:44 AM

^^ made me think of the old twix commercials.. even tho the hand never came out of anything and didn't fight anyone

4/30/2008 12:34:49 AM

btw i meant gay like annoying or lame...not gay homo sexual...dnl gets enough hate mail...doesnt want homos writing him...
