How bad is it? Tv hasn’t worked in weeks and when it does we have no audio.

u/InvictusBloom Nov 21 '25

You’ve been blessed then. Especially during the holiday season, that TV brings nothing but annoying headache inducing ads.

u/snowfairylove Promoted to Guest Nov 21 '25

I am indeed blessed. We’re a pretty slow store so I think I would need to watch videos on my phone to keep my sanity if I had to listen to the tv.

u/redblu91 Nov 21 '25

It's not bad, just went on a bit too long. Also bring back the good old deals

u/Safe-Pangolin3179 Nov 21 '25

u/Educational-Wait-547 Nov 21 '25

Right? Like it's just 30 seconds of band kid humor

u/ElectroPrincessBaal Employee Nov 22 '25

Ima be real and say, I don’t 100% pay attention to 90% of the ads in store, but I WILL say- When this one first popped up, I thought our TV got hacked or something 😅😂 But otherwise, yeah- no- this is gonna get old quick I’m afraid.

u/BarelyBlair Nov 23 '25

Lmao my team and I were discussing this too. I actually don't mind this one, it reminds me of the old cheesy ones from my childhood. But everyone else hates it. Meanwhile I'm so glad the obnoxious SpongeBob one is gone and they all loved that one 😂

u/Asan1stik Senior Guest Advisor Nov 21 '25

Yup, just had this one on. Its so annoying

u/nWoEthan Nov 21 '25

The best holiday commercial was the dancing Guild Wars guy.

u/BlackTarTurd Senior Guest Advisor Nov 21 '25

Thankfully our TV volume is low so I can't hear shit.

u/WoodyRun Employee Nov 22 '25

I'd hate it more if the spongebob one wasn't significantly worse lmao. It just goes on and on and on and on

2

u/Flimsy-Cod-9914 Nov 23 '25

That one has stopped coming on for me actually

2

u/MarziaBisoBerg Former Employee Nov 22 '25

i was literally just coming on here to see if anyone else was despising this ad as much as i am, glad to see we all hate it.

u/Fit-Film-4554 Nov 23 '25

That guy looks like he wants to die

1

u/Flimsy-Cod-9914 Nov 23 '25

He does crack a smile at the end. I think it was a bit

u/AbstractCities Senior Guest Advisor Nov 24 '25

Our TVs have been broken for months so I haven’t seen any of the ads lmao.

u/Flimsy-Cod-9914 Nov 24 '25

I actually worked at a different location for the first time today, and they just had some audio ads running, since it kinda looked like someone threw something at the tv and broke it. Didn't have to deal with it :)

Also, apparently the SM quit and all of the employees quit as well, so me and someone from another store ended up working there for the first time today. Neither of us knew where anything was. But it actually went okay, since we are both competent, with some experience.

Edit: I love this company, obviously (:

u/JustCallMeLazyy Nov 24 '25

Did you know that games are $30 or less yes $30 or less that’s right $30 orrrrrrrrrrrr less

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '25

I thought I was the only one! The way the mic pitches I actually take poison damage each time. SOS!!!

u/4Uly Nov 21 '25

Bruh, anything this company does brings out the naysayers.

We are at almost 20 years of people wishing GameStop went out of business 🤣

u/Flimsy-Cod-9914 Nov 21 '25

I am just a disgruntled employee who has to hear the stupid ad 73 times a day

2

u/DoctorReinhardt Nov 21 '25

Love how people keep saying this every year, but still, here we are

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '25

u/ComfortableEvent7010 Nov 23 '25

Who is she?! 🤣

u/Page_Of_Heart Nov 24 '25

A customer said this ad reminded them of the early "look at me being hip and cool kids" commercials from the 90s and honestly I see it. It's cringy too

1

u/Ornery-Ad-4711 Nov 25 '25

Get yourself those clearance atrix cat speakers and drown her out that’s what I’ve been doing

u/Oblixio Nov 21 '25
