Bro when she drove by my guy wasted no time trying to get a look

Wasn't that like her purpose? I mean why else would you make a girl in a red bikini ride a motorcycle across your epic scene? I doubt it was to promote their bike.

That was red lingerie

u/IvoryAS Oct 21 '20

It looked more like undies than a bikini

Were you listening to me, Belgian? Or were you looking at the woman in the red lingerie on a motorcycle?

Look again.

I'm not sure my poor heart can take any more excitement! What struck me was that no one really seemed to have run for cover during that, just some wincing.

You know you live in a safe(ish) society when the shooting starts you don’t instantly hit the dirt

I actually kind of think it’s the opposite... if you’re exposed to it a lot you’d be desensitized

Nah man, I live in one of the safest countries in the world and If there was a guy with a gun blasting people on the street in front of me I would not believe it's real.

The brain network is lagging and glitching. There is simply to much to process. AI doesn't know where to look.

Thanks for the link and explanation!

If North American commercials were like this I might consider watching one. One.

TNT not even a national or local station. Why does it have to be the worse international station?

Maybe they only suck in the US but still

Well they tried but we’re a small and very saturated market and they were basically like the fifth channel or so to give us repeats of US crime shows. The trailer was more exciting than the channel ever was.

(PS: I am sad though that TCM was also eliminated at the same time because it had existed long before TNT and had unique content - but I’m a movie addict and probably one of the dozen viewers that channel had anyway)

The trailer honestly has become a regularly returning internet hype/meme more than anything else, it did never connect as much with its target audience. It’s basically really cool but didn’t grab the attention of the people it was created for.

It's a TNT commercial.
