anyone watch this? just ordered season 1 on dvd it's a comedy about two girls with no money i think it's the coolest name and premise for a tv show ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you just watch it for the dennings twins |
||||||||
|
|

Ive had to listen to my gf watch that, its so bad it could potentially make me psychotically violent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i think only made-for-tv movies shown on the "lifetime" channel are capable of that. |

^ i must admit i laughed when she said the precarious balance of my meds, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cos it was funny that she said it with stony silence afterwards |

I catch it once in a while on late night tv. It's not very good as far as commercial comedy series go. I prefer the Big Bang theory, or even the Goldbergs when it comes to mainstream stuff. |
||||||||

|
|
haha the guy in the blue jumper looks like a typical catalgue model for middle age menswear, yes we get these movies over here on of an afternoon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Id rather shove pile of rusty hypodermic needle through my bollocks than watch the big bang theory, sorry im being very negative i know |
||||||||
|

It can be quite fun, and to be honest I sometimes enjoy it. It's silly tv, but not too dumb. There's something for everyone, and the acting is pretty good. It certainly shits on 2broke birds. I guess sometimes I like cosy stuff. To take a break from my genius taste. |

my gf watches it all the time, perhaps ive been over exposed, that Sheldon character really gets on my nerves, |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i saw this the other day and i was just a massive advert just the twat going through all the specifications |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That episode was fun, and reflected well the choice one is faced with. The specs was the joke, not advertising. Cheer up, join ISIS or something. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i dunno seemed like very obvious product placement to me! Its ok i dont actively hate it, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You'd rather do I forget what with rusty nails and your balls than watch it. If that's not 'active hating' I dunno... I remember that episode. Should they have made up console names? All three console makers get screen time. It was pretty fair. I think that episode spoke to a lot of geeks trying to work out which console to buy. He doesn't buy any in the end btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
^ i wouldnt mind but they blatantly do it all the time, they probably wrote the episode around the whole premise of flogging consoles, well perhaps |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bullshit. It was entertaining and sold me fuck all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i think they should have probably made up console names they could have even made up names that sound like funny parody, that would have shown a bit of imagination i reckon, then again im not a comedy writer who is forced to write product placement into the script |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your probably not the target demographic, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know im coming across as a smart arse but im not having a go at you just the program |
||||||||
|
|

|

Am I supposed to be appalled by that crummy link? i guess even mentioning the game Operation in a tv show is seen as selling its soul to Hasbro now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best product placement ever was in Wayne's World. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i know that scene, pepsi taste of a generation, at least there was some irony in it why it was funny |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not just big bang theory and its not the reason i dont like the show |
||||||||
|

papa johns in the new ghostbuster apparently |

My point is that I don't need characters to drink doca kola, or the play the fun-station. I don't fall for that shit. I'm not going to buy something because it's in a movie. If anything it more genuine. With BBT and the battle of the consoles., we all know them anyway, and there's no winner, or supposedly better product. The specs bit is funny to some because it's jibber jabber to them, while nerds recognize themselves. I do remember finding it biased at first when only PSwhatever and Xboxthing were mentioned, but happy to see plenty of Nintendo later on. Also, I like the Goldbergs sometimes (tv only, would never download an episode) because it's cosy, it's nostalgic, and talks about 80s stuff. They have to name the products we remember as they're part of the memories. If Barry talks about reebok pumps, or the new Jordan's, or if Adam talks about Zelda, I never think of placement, I just fondly remember how badly I wanted a pair Jordan's, was fascinated when reeboks had the pump model out for the first time. That Zelda marked a part of my life. I'm a cynical guy, people who know me know it, but sometimes there really is no big deal. |

did you notice they have fake brand soft drink cans in bbt? i did and whenup googling i read some about massive product placment. i also thought maybe they hadnt been paid, what they wanted and replaced the original cans with those. like they were billboard ads, saying "here this could be your ad". Matter of fact those fake cans left my thoughts circling around this more than an actual can would :( also, have you ever wondered what the hell is that thing on the wall in sheldons apartment? i did and the internet has answered that question aswell, cause apparently it was driving mad millions. it was a big laugh but it got me spooked a bit aswell. as to the quality of the bbt, its at the top of todays comedy, which sadly hasnt made the huge steps as drama series have and rather seem to be on the decline in quality and quantity. 2broke girls i barely have seen 3 episodes, first impression was appalling. way too much silence after (2me) unfunny jokes. just lame pace. it does however seem to contain some out of the box thinking now and then. |

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you. You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity. Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head. You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs." – Banksy |

the elevator here is ground zero for this. in the dead of night, someone adorned the catalog model advertising the hotel with a very un-ladlylike mario moustache. this lasted for weeks. then, finally, the broken window theory crept into action, and someone else drew giant cumming dicks, in shiny gold sharpie marker. this was too much for proper capitalism, and the signs were torn down within 24 hours. |
