Thing is, it's a pretty freaking dumb commercial. There've been risque commercials that may not be your thing but still make you chuckle. That's just sort of dumb. How'd that pitch go?

 

"OK, so you've got these two guys watching football. Typical sports dudes, right? Anyrate, their hands touch going for some chips and then, all of a sudden, they just start going at it! Get it?!"

 

"Get what?"

 

"They just start going at it!"

 

"OK, sounds like they're gay."

 

"Exactly!"

 

"OK. Anything else?"

 

"Yep. There's some other dude sitting there really uncomfortable."

 

"So he's not gay."

 

"Exactly!"

 

"Next."

My guess is that there intentions was never really to have a superbowl ad. $2.5m is a lot of venture capital to burn through these days. But it has probably worked exactly how they wanted it. It got their name out there. All the major news sites at least mentioned the article...and it didn't cost them nearly what it would have during the superbowl. It only cost them the price to shoot the commercial...which from the version I saw probably didn't cost all that much to begin with.

Good point and you're right about the cost. I've seen random Youtube vids with higher production value so that thing couldn't have cost anything at all.

 

They did get exposure.
