NBC's "Bee Movie" Commercials

(1/4) > >>

leave for no raisin:
I hate them.  They are doing the opposite of what they are designed to do.  When I first saw the trailer for Bee Movie, I planned on seeing it eventually (probably on DVD) since I am into the whole animated movie scene.

However, now that I have been bombarded with the painfully unfunny "Bee Movie TV Juniors" for the past few weeks every time I am just trying to chill and watch Heroes or The Office, I never, ever, ever want to see it.  Ever.

Anyone else with me on this?

Liz:
Well, I never planned to see it in the first place. Also I never watch NBC (oh no!), so the painfully unfunny would have no effect on me.

leave for no raisin:
That's probably a good plan.  I haven't watched network television in years, but now there are shows on that I actually care about.  I sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be better if I just waited it out for the DVDs.

Liz:
Oh, I watch TV, don't get me wrong. But all the shows I like on network TV are on ABC and CBS, and I haven't seen large quantities of Bee Movie stuff on either of them.

KvP:
Almost ruined the first episode of 30 Rock this season, but they sort of made fun of it in the last episode, in a roundabout way (the Followship award given for product integration)

Maybe Seinfeld has a lot of his own money sunk into this thing? It's really just being thrown out there and they're failing miserably to attract any sort of positive attention, but I don't think that's the point. The point is to pound it into parents' heads that this is a movie to drag their kids to. These days people will feel obligated to see any "event" movie even if they know it's going to be dismal (Fantastic Four 2) and the overload of commercials seem to be for making the movie look unavoidable.

That doesn't excuse it, though. I hope it bombs. Save your cash for WALL-E.
