digip Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Guy catches laptop with his ass. Not once, but multiple times. Obviously some special effects going on here, but still funny to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seshan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Clearly an ad. And kinda weird.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkNinja Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, its an advertisement, cant remember what for though, kinda defeats the purpose of an advertisement if the viewer doesn't remember what was being advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr0p Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, its an advertisement, cant remember what for though, kinda defeats the purpose of an advertisement if the viewer doesn't remember what was being advertised. The laptop is of course the product xD They're advertising how slim it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkNinja Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I know that, but I couldn't remember the company, which is what really matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deveant Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 the ad works, i watched it all the way to the end, and it had my un-divided attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burncycle Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 It wasn't designed to be an ad, it was meant as a viral video solely for the Internet. Clearly its working, as this is the sixth or seventh time I've seen the link in roughly 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Sierakowski Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yeah, I think there is a subtle difference between "Viral" and "Marketing." I don't know that this worked, unless their slogan is "MSI; stick it up your butt!" I'll admit that I watched the whole thing, but this was not like the macbook air in the courier envelope, this did not have me marvel in the thinness of the laptop. Plus, I did go to the site they advertised, only to be accosted by the shrill digital squawks of seagulls. I think poor MSI has a way to go, but they have their heart in the right place.

ArkNinja Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yes, it is a viral video, but a viral video developed for the purpose of marketing the laptop. I am certain that MSI didn't make this video for the sole purpose of it being a viral video without any advertising potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssmithisme Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I watched all the way to the end. It was pretty cool. But definitely useless to have that skill xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burncycle Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My point was that it was not designed as a commercial ("Hey look at how awesome or product is, please buy it."), it was designed as a viral video. The purpose of a viral video is just to get an idea or product out there. This video achieved that in spades, being that its been posted all over the Internet and people are talking about it. Now the next step to be taken is for MSI to actually make real commercials for this laptop. Then you see the commercial and think "Oh yeah! I've seen this laptop before." Marketing Managed.

Are people going to say "Oh yeah! I've seen this laptop before." or are they going to say "Oh yeah! That's the butt laptop! EVERYONE COME CHECK OUT THE ASSTOP!" ?
