We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.
I want to go to there. (30 Rock)

Man, I could tell you were being sarcastic about the real vehicles part.
Thank god.
Yes, this, exactly.
In the linked video it was funny. The Valentines' Day episode opening had nothing resembling humor, just 30 seconds of "these desserts are so great."
And then Jack went on to describe the real "world's greatest desert". Seriously making a mountain out of a molehill here...
Because I remember you complaining about the "commercial" in Talladega Nights.
Which is a movie about NASCAR... which basically is glorified advertising.
that show ruined Aaron Sorkin for me
You are a bad person and you have bad opinions on television
That's what Studio 60 did to me!
that show was so self-righteous and creepy and not funny and Aaron Sorkin using all of his trademarks as crutches because he didn't know what kind of show he wanted to write
God damn you people are dense.
well i think the fact that it's not is what makes it not product placement
it's a reoccuring joke they do throughout the series. they don't get money for doing it. just because you didn't find it funny doesn't mean the show is some corporate advertisement machine
Would they not have used iphones if apple didn't pay them?
That seems mysterious. I mean maybe they should just turn in their yuppie cards.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
I'm assuming not since they previously used just random phones and then the verizon gag.
again, not really caring seeing as though it's actually funny.
They also push some pretty left (meaning "Democratic Party") views. It's just kind of obnoxious.
Also, to clear this up, just because product placement is obvious does not mean that it isn't product placement. Putting a real product on camera and pointing the logo at the viewer's face actually works, and "oh yeah right like it's mind-controlling me into rushing out and buying something" isn't a valid counterpoint. If it were, then the actual not-in-the-show commercials wouldn't be effective and nobody would run them.
Oh, good point. Really well-stated there. A big "Nuh uh!" with no reasoning behind it. Brilliant. You're smart.
instead you are raving about how the show has lost all integrity because you did not like a single joke out of many they've done about product placement. yeah the joke ended up falling flat but you are going on and on about how the show is dead to you because of that one joke
you are being silly

It's not really this, it was the "oh god, they did a McFlurry product placement thing like 5 minutes in? Oh god how awful" when like, it's a pretty known thing that 30 rock does this all the time. Never mind whether or not it's intentional. it was just funny that it seemed like you were trying to call it out on something everyone is already aware of.
"Oh god, Penny Arcade did a WoW comic?"
"I watched CSI, you know the use of technology was somewhat exaggerated, right?"
I've seen them do shit with products before, but I guess this was the time for me when it didn't simply stop being funny, but stopped looking like humor was even the intent.
On a similar note, your mcflurries are huuuuge!
