pretty sure I had to memorize that poem in elementary school


pretty sure I like the levi's commercial

12/13/2009 9:47:36 PM

I'm not exactly the literature enthusiast, so when i heard this for the first time at the movie theater (where I saw the commercial), I didn't recognize it, but I thought it was really really good poetry. Then I realized it was a Levi's ad and rolled my eyes. I don't know why I judge anything used in a commercial as bad. Maybe I'm a horrible person

12/13/2009 11:02:24 PM

I'm liking this one about the old guy eating the Hardess and his kid ask him for his sandwich and he takes a big bite like FUCK YOU

Seriously though, that is the most conceited and more irreverent bullshit I have ever seen in a commercial that was intended to be entirely serious. And it ran 4 goddamn times during Family Guy, two of them separated by brief 10 second advertisement for the next Star Wars Family Guy on DVD.

LEAVES OF GRASS MY ASS!!!!

12/13/2009 11:14:36 PM

"Get Your Weapons Ready" makes me think of Mega Man

12/13/2009 11:19:27 PM

i never really appreciated walt whitman when I was force to read it. Now he's awesome.

12/13/2009 11:21:04 PM

Seriously though, I dig this recording. I also heard a crazy recording of Infantry Columns by Rudyard Kipling which I really want to get a hold of, but can't find

12/13/2009 11:35:34 PM

oh wow



looking at it, the group that did this ad campaign for Levi's (Wieden+Kennedy) did the FIFA10 ad campaign for EA, most of the Nike Football stuff, and the latest Jordan commercials.


They are good.


fair to say I'm a fan of their work

12/13/2009 11:50:32 PM

If they're so good how then what in that Levis commercial is supposed to make me want to wear jeans?

12/13/2009 11:54:46 PM

You already wear jeans, don't you?


What other jean commercials do you think of when you think of jeans?


Ads aren't supposed to make you want to wear a certain thing, or be a certain person. They're meant to make you remember the product, so when you do your shopping it sticks out in your mind.

12/13/2009 11:57:47 PM

actually I do like the commercial, I just don't understand how people justify paying for high concept stuff that doesn't showcase and sometimes even say anything about the product

When this stuff works its good but I'd have a hard time accepting the risk on it.

12/14/2009 12:00:11 AM

ive thought about making this thread quite a few times

12/14/2009 12:00:37 AM

They were selling axes, right?

12/14/2009 12:00:55 AM

^^^ It's a risk you can accept when working with an agency like this one


but I mean, do you WANT a low-level jean commercial?


LEVI'S JEANS, MADE WITH THE FINEST IN AMERICAN COTTON, ARE WEAR-TESTED TO NOT HAVE THE ASS RIP OUT WHEN YOUR FAT ASS IS DOING SHIT ON THE FARM. LEVI'S: A BRAND OF JEAN YOU CAN TRUST.

12/14/2009 12:16:46 AM

I'd like women in wet t-shirts and Levi's wrestling.

A) it shows off the quality and durability of the goods.
B) i like boobs

12/14/2009 12:20:00 AM

how did the thread start out with

and end up with ^

12/14/2009 4:02:47 PM

.... u serious?

12/14/2009 4:04:32 PM

i didn't read anything in between

12/14/2009 4:05:09 PM

i do

12/14/2009 4:12:04 PM

This one is ok.

The other one is annoying, the one that starts with "America, center of equal daughters, equal sons"

[Edited on December 14, 2009 at 4:31 PM. Reason : I think that one is supposed to be whitman himself reading it, if so it explains the crappy quality]

12/14/2009 4:13:32 PM

i finally figured out what this reminded me of, it was killing me

Braid - Eulalia, Eulalia
the beginning uses "What Is A Boy?" which is badass poetry

Quote :

"Between the innocence of babyhood and the dignity of manhood, we find a delightful creature called a boy. Boys come in assorted sizes, weights and colors, but all boys have the same creed: to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to protest with noise (their only weapon) when their last minute is finished and the adult males pack them off to bed at night. Boys are found everywhere---on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls ignore them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them, and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on his face. Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket. When you are busy a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. When you want him to make an impression, his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a savage, sadistic, jungle creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it."

All I have with me at the moment is one pistol and zero sharpedged axes

12/23/2009 5:05:14 PM

i can't find the braid song but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY8gQEFr328 is pretty good

12/23/2009 5:12:26 PM

have you your queer fucking jeans commercial

have you your skepticism

have you your clinical pandering to a well defined demographic

12/23/2009 5:26:13 PM

as soon as I saw this commercial start playing for the first time, I rolled my eyes and figured that hipsters around the world were nutting in their boxers simultaneously.

12/23/2009 5:35:19 PM

sounds like their ad worked because memorable, even if it's polarizing and hated just as much as it's loved

12/23/2009 5:38:22 PM

I feel like the people getting stuck with the axes are at a disadvantage compared to the ones with the pistols.

12/23/2009 5:46:19 PM

No no, you have two pistols and two sharp axes and if you run out of ammo or someone gets too close you use the axes.
