try our new eldritch horror Oreo. gaze upon the infinite and weep tears of blood upon the futility of resistance. and yes, they still have that same great taste you know and love now with as hint of wails of the damned. *warning: the Oreo company does not claim any responsibility for dispelling the thin blanket of sanity that protects humanity from itself, crippling disillusionment and cultist inclinations. we are also not responsible for, and strongly encourage seeing a doctor if you experience: any rapid fluctuating mental instability, auto cannibalism and blindings resulting from attempts to free yourself from forbidden sights using only your fingers in a vain attempt to unsee the truth.
5:20 that's actually one of the real reasons CPG brands do this. As one website says, "A benefit of bringing on more flavors means you get more of a brand presence on the shelf." You want to take over the aisle with more and more flavors so people see a sea of your branded product on the shelf.
Exactly. We should ponder this the next time we're choosing between regular, whitening, gum care, deep repair, pronamel intensive enamel repair, multi-action, daily protection and fresh breath toothpaste that's all made by the same brand. They can just put all of those things in one toothpaste, and for the most part, the company's flagship product will have those things covered already. Crest doesn't really save their best cavity-fighting power for their niche products. They've been refining their basic product for decades and improving it as much as they can. The varieties are a billboard, and the supermarkets probably have to contract to carry a bunch of profitless varieties just to put the Doritos that everyone is going to buy anyway on their shelves.
Some of this may just partly be my fault. I came up with the idea of flavored cremes for Oreo's in 1997. A school project was to write a letter to a company either to complain about something or to praise them. I choose to praise Nabisco for Oreo's and then proceeded to suggest flavored cremes, with my initial ideas being Mint, Coffee, and Chocolate cremes. I received several coupons in the mail weeks later as a thank you for being a customer.
There’s 20 minutes of additional footage that isn’t aired here on the college humor app. I was curious. It’s almost completely ad libbed as far as I can tell and then cut up into this masterpiece.
“You are a babbling fool and we have built a tower to madness” is such an off-the-dome Brennan rage line that I WOULD be surprised if this wasn’t ad-libbed 😂
@@TechZACH16 Yeah if you watch the extra 20 minutes you know for sure this is just him going off. I've never identified with a human man the same way I do with Brennan, he lives exactly how I feel.
The base concept of this video actually reminds me of how my world history teacher used to explain why empires kept exploding/kingdoms kept collapsing/etc: "Because a cookie isn't good enough." He used the analogy of Oreos and how they're effectively the perfect cookie on a conceptual level; they taste good, they're completely circular, they're good for dipping and overall simple but highly effective. Of course, the company that makes Oreos, and really most of humanity, can't just *settle* a lot of the time. And so we get stuff like in this video, where the company is trying to add new stuff despite them being in a position where they have everything they've ever wanted, or an empire/kingdom is trying to expand to cover more ground of the "more ground than they could ever put to use" territory they already possess. They could stop, right now, just keep making standard Oreos, and make bank enough for the people running the company to maintain basically any lifestyle they wanted as long as it was physically possible. A lot of empires were the same way, with the kings or emperors in play being fully in a position where the lest of their life could be in insane luxury, but they wanted more. Because a cookie isn't good enough, so now we have watermelon Oreos and a massive pile of dead empires.
@@mostdefinitely7536 It's not really a sign of a terrible ceo that he doesn't know everything happening on the ground floor.

Carl: STOP MAKING BULLSHIT AND GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILY! ENJOY YOUR LIFE! GO IN HERE FOR THE TWO SECONDS YOU NEED TO TO MAINTAIN SHIT AND WALK OUT WITH THE MONEY TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY!
Be fair, though: Kit Kats have actual cultural significance in Japan, having become a sign of good luck after the connection was made to the phrase Kitsu Katzu. What's OREO'S excuse???
@@nuclear_wizard exactly. I read somewhere how, many varieties of kit-kat just work as a gift when people return from some tourist place (or different city, I guess?) and that also includes expecting to buy kit-kat which is famous for that particular area/city.
I like how he actually stumbled on to the reason for all the varieties. The more Oreo varieties a store is expected to have, the less room there is for competitors in the cookie aisle. They functionally are advertising sure some people grab them but they also make it so oreos dominate the cookie aisle.
“I have never been to a cookie aisle and not seen half the cookie aisle choked with a sinful glut of bullshit oreos” is such a powerful line and I will be using sinful glut in my vocabulary from now on
For anyone interested, this is actually a line from an old 17th Centruy poem by Robert Hayman. Which was then edited and quoted by Hans Gruber in Die Hard where it was popularised.
@@OccamsWoodChipper I mean 100 years ago stuff that ended in - ox like Hydrox was associated with food. One of the lesser examples of why you don't look at history with a modern lens.
"A lot of people have worked really hard." "Why?" My man has a point. OREOs sell themselves. The CEO and entire board could just be replaced with a sleeve of OREOs and the company would be fine.
@@omniphage9391 To be fair, I can't remember the last time I've seen advertisement or promotion for oreos. I just find out about new flavours AT the store because like was said, half the fucking aisle is just oreo bullshit.
@@godricktheminecrafted3113 innovation? There is no such thing as 'innovation' in hypercommodified environments like today's market(s). It's all about "boosting" the value and sustaining illusion of it... fabricating the utility and maintaining the hierarchy with deceptive premises.
The insanely raw lines in this is amazing. "..and Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer!" "You have poison in your mind, and the fact that you can't see it makes me so sad." "You are a babbling fool and we have built a temple to madness." "It's too much Craig."
I swear that Oreos took this as a challenge, or an insult, or something, because ever since this video came out I’ve seen EVEN MORE weird Oreo types than before
"you're going to need to explain the difference between strawberry milkshake oreo and strawberry oreo. Or I'm gonna burn the building down." I love how all the different CEO's have varying levels of insanity
Kinda surprised they never did a build your own oreo kit. Small jar of the filling and a pack of the cookie parts, like a pack of Ritz crackers. This way you can use as much filling as you want.
Honestly Brennan is such a good actor. The way he reads "we will never rest on our laurels" like he's confused but trying not to show it is oscar-worthy.
This probably is the best video illustrating how companies seeking endless growth in profits rather than just being happy with steady revenue eventually leads to kind of insane shit
the people who make oreos also make almost every other snack cookie like chips ahoy, nutter butters, etc so they also have what is almost a monopoly on the market
Reason why they make these weird flavors is that A it expands the market of oreos and B if they suck folks will be like "didn't like the mint oreos just get me some normal oreos"
@@giovannicervantes2053 how much more can the market expand in the us??? i understand abroad as i know oreos aren’t dominant in every foreign market but i dont think they have any more room to grow here at home. and i know most of these wild “marketing” flavors are us or north america specific.
5:17 The sentence that gets better with every subsequent word: “I have never BEEN to a grocery store and not seen HALF the cookie aisle CHOKED with a SINFUL GLUT of BULL S#%T OREOS.”
"What do you mean people like Bereavement Oreos?" "Focus groups love the taste of them." "Yeah, Kyle. They're Oreos". This is so hilariously stupid that some marketing exec may have actually tried it at some point.
This is due to investors wanting higher and higher returns. They aren't content with making just some of the money in a stable manner. They want to make ALL of the money. Hence, these stupid Oreo flavors.
@horn Where I'm at, we don't even get the new Oreo flavors most of the time, barring the seasonal ones. And it's not the fact that they're making new flavors so much as they're making way too many. Now, with all that said, there's WAY worse things other companies have done and are doing, so us teasing Oreo about this is mostly for fun, even if it is kinda true.
@horn Yeah, that's the point CH is making. They make the best-selling cookie. It's working and been working for a long-ass time. lol As to marketers, sometimes, they're full of shit, and so are executives. How many terrible and/or unethical decisions have I seen made by those two groups...
Had to know...they make Matcha Oreos! Without wood shavings, even. If you're in the U.S., you can buy a very small number of them for possibly too much money from a few different online snack vendors. (Much to my horror, and probably that of Brennan's CEO here, there have also been Swedish Fish Oreos.)
“You are a babbling fool and we have built a temple to madness” “And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer” “Am I Cassandra? Doomed Prophet, alone and unheeded by the weary world?” “Do I drag my carcass to the mountaintop once more just to scream a warning that will go unheeded and Unheard? Or do I end it?” Just a few raw lines from the CEO series
For shits and giggles I looked up all of the varieties of Oreo in real life, and was blown away by the fact that like 90% of the varieties mentioned in this video are ACTUALLY REAL. Yes, that includes Football Oreo and Android Oreo... like wtf
They didn't even get into the weird ones in this video. Like Lady Gaga Oreos, Hot Chicken Wing Oreos, Swedish Fish Oreos, or being able to order custom Oreos with pictures on them.
@@RavenclawNimbus They’re so good. The slight bitterness offsets the normally really sweet taste. The dangerous part is since they’re so delicious and won’t overload you by being too sweet, you can easily eat the entire bag.

I actually knew one of the engineers at Mondelez who ran one of the Oreos production lines. He kept coming to boardgame night and bringing all of Oreos you never saw in stores because they were just too flippin' weird.
"Now introducing tidepod oreos" "and in headline news tonight the CEO's of both tide and oreos where found dead after shooting each other in the face in some kind of murder pact."
I like how there are multiple ways to interpret why Craig is working 80 hours a week. 1) Much like the marketing team, he is putting his all into the job despite Oreos selling themselves. 2) Because they work at a money factory, the accounting department are the only ones working hard.

@@ReX0r what? I have seen so many movies and tv shows that I have a huge amount of quotes that I don’t even know where they came from but I believe my friend said this once to someone.
I'd like to think this was the CEOs first job before he moved onto all the other companies. He started off so innocent and chill just slacking off with the world best cookie and was then slowly driven insane.
@@Resters52_official We can spin it that he was still in practice after coming back to America from Japan. In small groups people aren't required to wear masks, so that would explain no masks in the other ones, or it never happened in the CEOverse (unless it gets specifically addressed in one of the videos).
Nothing is funnier than the sheer and utter frustration in all of Brennan's CEO characters. They may not have woken up choosing violence, but the day is young.
"We done did the good cookie, that everybody like, and now WE GET TO GO HOME" - me when I finish one task at work and already know the rest of the day is gonna be pure suffering.
the funny thing is once an oreo marketing dude once came to my campus. he said the biggest challenge of oreo is not by innovating the product, but by innovating the marketing strategy. the original is the best one and they just put the other flavour just in case. the product sold ratio is 10:1, 10 is the original and 1 is the rest. So yeah, this is valid :D
Considering Oreo is a copycat of another product and practically erased the original product from everyone's memory....the marketing peeps are doing a great job
@@hinatamercury The fact the original was called Hydrox, which sounds like a brand of particularly caustic bleach, sure made the Oreos marketing easier
The kindest one too, he's literally telling people to chill and getting the money. Seemed genuinely happy to be making the birthday video for the accounting dude. The most unkind thing he does is yelling at the people who won't listen to him as the CEO.
This may be one of the most well written sketches of all. Time. Every part of this video is quotable. With the lines, and Brennan’s magnificent acting.. It just can’t get any better. If I named every memorable line in this I’d be reenacting the entire video! 😂
Literally on drop out, he's in 3/4 shows that premier weekly right now: Dimension 20, Adventuring Party, and Adventuring Academy. I got the drop out subscription because of Dimension 20. What a time!
Well that is because everyone else had to get laid off when the parent company dropped them lol. When theres only 1 person on creative staff you kinda are by default the person thats helping keep the company going
I'm pretty sure that's because he pretty much literally is. Like nearly everyone else got fired so at its core, Collegehumor is just Sam Reich and Brennan, which is too much ginger for my taste.

They got inspired
@@hellothere702 "Don't."

Honestly Brennan is such a good actor. The way he reads "we will never rest on our laurels" like he's confused but trying not to show it is oscar-worthy.

Lol you don't understand marketing do you
the people who make oreos also make almost every other snack cookie like chips ahoy, nutter butters, etc so they also have what is almost a monopoly on the market
Reason why they make these weird flavors is that A it expands the market of oreos and B if they suck folks will be like "didn't like the mint oreos just get me some normal oreos"
@@giovannicervantes2053 how much more can the market expand in the us??? i understand abroad as i know oreos aren’t dominant in every foreign market but i dont think they have any more room to grow here at home. and i know most of these wild “marketing” flavors are us or north america specific.

The detail of accounting being the actual busy department got me right at the end
"What do you mean people like Bereavement Oreos?"
"Focus groups love the taste of them."
"Yeah, Kyle. They're Oreos".
This is so hilariously stupid that some marketing exec may have actually tried it at some point.
The real reason they like bereavement Oreos is they don't have to say anything, just hand over a packet of cookies.
I would buy a pallet of Bereavement Oreos for every death of a friend or family member. They could also market the exact same product as "Goth Oreos."
I looked that one up. Not a thing 😂
Encapsulates middle management logic perfectly
I would buy them
"You have poison in your mind and the fact that you can't see it makes me so sad." I love Brennan's humor.
'We work really hard...'
'Don't.'
There's a whole economy class summed up in those lines.
This is due to investors wanting higher and higher returns. They aren't content with making just some of the money in a stable manner. They want to make ALL of the money. Hence, these stupid Oreo flavors.
@horn Where I'm at, we don't even get the new Oreo flavors most of the time, barring the seasonal ones. And it's not the fact that they're making new flavors so much as they're making way too many.
Now, with all that said, there's WAY worse things other companies have done and are doing, so us teasing Oreo about this is mostly for fun, even if it is kinda true.
@horn Do you have a source for their increased revenue and brand awareness?
@horn Yeah, that's the point CH is making. They make the best-selling cookie. It's working and been working for a long-ass time. lol
As to marketers, sometimes, they're full of shit, and so are executives. How many terrible and/or unethical decisions have I seen made by those two groups...
@horn I said their COOKIES have worked for a long-ass time. Not necessarily their marketing.
Had to know...they make Matcha Oreos! Without wood shavings, even. If you're in the U.S., you can buy a very small number of them for possibly too much money from a few different online snack vendors.
(Much to my horror, and probably that of Brennan's CEO here, there have also been Swedish Fish Oreos.)
Swedish fish are good
His acting is actually insanely impressive.
You should check out his early skits he did for UCB comedy school.
Don’t get why a hollywood casting studio hasnt picked him up. Please Seth Rogen!
Bro, how do we have the exact same breadtube list on youtube
Right? I feel like after being the CEO for so long he's really gotten it down.
And to think his reactions are improv! He runs his own show too which is about 60% improv with a full cast on the Dimension 20 channel.
“You are a babbling fool and we have built a temple to madness”
“And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer”
“Am I Cassandra? Doomed Prophet, alone and unheeded by the weary world?”
“Do I drag my carcass to the mountaintop once more just to scream a warning that will go unheeded and Unheard? Or do I end it?”

I like how there are multiple ways to interpret why Craig is working 80 hours a week.
1) Much like the marketing team, he is putting his all into the job despite Oreos selling themselves.
2) Because they work at a money factory, the accounting department are the only ones working hard.
Also might have been a stab at the Nabisco overworking employees controversy that lead to the Nabisco strike.
