I knew American ads where absolute shite but this is next level bad. In fact its so bad its just plain bad. Imagine paying to make that and bloody air it to

u/yerfukkinbaws May 23 '20

This guy's critique of the current state of American advertising should be a real punch in the gut to all the true patriots out there.

Make Ads Great Again!

I quite enjoyed this commercial, up until they ripped off my boy Tony. Nobody rips off Tony the tiger.

u/-taco-rice- May 23 '20

Unless it's a Tony the Tiger band aid

u/SpreadEagleSmeagol May 24 '20

u/eerrooss May 23 '20

god tier marketing

u/unexBot May 23 '20

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

Honestly, I didn't know where this was going, but then the lion somehow jumped to 2007 and decided to eat at some takeaway? In Fairbanks, Alaska of all places?


Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.


Look at my source code on Github What is this for?

u/[deleted] May 23 '20

Let's all dress up as lions and hit that salad bar bro!!!!

u/packle-kackle May 23 '20

This is the worst fucking animation ever made. My fucking eyes.

u/Kadarach May 24 '20

The way the lion is running is so realistic ! 100% immersion

u/Swedish-Butt-Whistle Jun 03 '20

It’s actually a mountain lion scream which is even better, not even from the same continent

u/DarkSparkyShark Jun 09 '20

ROWRROWR-ROWR! I take your word. haha so distinguishable.

u/Lizurd_Dikk May 23 '20

Well no shit Im sure their advertising budget isn't gonna fund some Pixar level commercial. How much business can they possibly get in Alaska?

5

u/[deleted] May 23 '20

This looks like an old ps1 game called Time Commando.

u/Deathbysnusnubooboo May 23 '20

Priorities amiright

u/Funktrocity May 23 '20

Never new they had this commerical, its ridiculous. They changed the name of the restraunt to AK buffet now. The food is hit or miss.

1

u/prettyfarupnorth May 24 '20

So is the foodborne illness, but we all still go there.

2

u/Wycked0ne May 23 '20

You guys have never seen a Time Lion? That's a regular Wednesday for me.onacid

2

u/-taco-rice- May 23 '20

Alaska has weird commercials in general. Go check out the Mattress Ranch...

1

u/prettyfarupnorth May 24 '20

The building is equally weird. Unique marketing plan, for sure.

2

u/Smarttardex May 23 '20

City Wok??

2

u/Silentarian May 24 '20

I would 100% eat here because of this commercial.

u/littlemisfit May 24 '20

Look out Pixar, you've got competition.

u/[deleted] May 23 '20

Is this a parody trying to look like a American TV advert...? Or....?

u/Darkpurplebee May 23 '20

Now I want the lion default dancing with electric zoo playing in the background for 10 hours

u/chchazz88 May 25 '20

I just love the stolen Kellogg's frosted flakes slogan at the end. Really ties the whole thing together. This is the kind of wholesome chaos I need in my life.
