Brands' weird advertising is getting eerily close to that one episode of Community where that dude gives up his identity and becomes the personified version of Subway.
I think we're past that. When you look at company's twitter account, it's pretty clear humanizing companies and giving them "quirks" and "personality" is their strategy. Capitalism's manipulative techniques to sell shit keep on being worse and worse.
There's a Pepsi kpop boyband named K-Pepsi here in Chile where I live, and they even pick chilean guys that look "korean". They recently put an animated character to join the band. Everything has the same energy of this game show, just weird.
I laughed so hard when you showed the Taco Bell ad as an example of them advertising "other things" because Taco Bell is...you guessed it...owned by frickin' PEPSI
@Stella Hohenheim Pepsi, Nestle, Disney, and Sony practically own the world. Remove all their products and we’d have to go back to hunting and foraging lmao
This feels like an snl skit. A corporate entity makes an absurd game show to sell a product. And the show isn’t even real, it has no live audience and is so clearly rigged to be in the favor of the company and not the players. It seems surreal.
That would be such a funny skit ***slot machine lands on 5 cherries*** Host: Oooooh I’m so sorry, bad luck Contestant: What?? But I won? I got 5 cherries! Host: So what I’m hearing is that you want to spin again?
it actually makes me nauseous - the corporate layers of it are terrifying. a "news program" that's just a soft ad for this show, which is also an ad, touting itself on the basis of "fewer ads" despite that being DEMONSTRABLY a blatant lie, where the central premise is a slot machine and the contestants are socially engineered to bet big? I know it's been a long few years of everything getting compared to Idiocracy, but I feel like that's actually not at all hyperbole here, this could just be a show in that setting
you'd be surprised how common this used to be on tv. like in the 50s and 60s, there were gaming shows where they had just ONE sponsor and would always interject their products as prizes and boast about the products
I was actually took a survey that helped them pick the name for this show. They told us the concept for it but not that it was blatantly sponsored by Pepsi. I don't remember the other names they were considering (they might've been like, Lucky Cherries and stuff like that) but I remember Cherry was in all of them. And I told them Cherries Wild sounded like a bad porno.
"It looks like a show that would be on in the background of a movie to make the point the character watching it is dumb." Is the most perfect description ever. Just from that I have a perfect understanding of what this show is like.
My brother was on this show! You’re exactly right that they couldn’t actually leave with the money when they wanted to. My brother and his partner wanted to leave halfway through with the money they made, and Jason Biggs just stripped naked and stared at them. The fake audience also stripped naked and stared at them until they spun again. It was odd
I now want a pepsi movie, I’d like the plot to be a vending machine falling in love with a rich girl; and a possible sequel that will lead to the introduction of the corporate industries cinematic universe

@@cangrejopendejo4909 because a big portion of my life is consuming and studying pop culture. Film and tv and competition shows are part of that. So i can safely say that american reality shows have a problem with transparency. It DOES have to do with the country, because i have watched panel shows and competition shows from all over the world, from different studios/networks so it isn't just one networks policy. My statement about it being an issue with american reality tv is based on knowledge of the industry, not just talking out of my ass.
@@cangrejopendejo4909dude. Just stop. I get it. Patriotism. But it IS about the country. Every single reality show (of the game show/quiz/panel variety) I've watched from America has been absolutely unbearable artificial garbage with fake bimbo presenters with teeth and tits more expensive than my house. It's constant shouting, screaming, cheering, grating, agonising fake positivity. Its 9 times outta 10 scripted to the nines and full of COMPLETELY faked sentiments and emotions. I'm sorry. But that's just the truth. It's absolutely impossible to watch American versions of British TV game shows. They're absolutely butchered and entirely forceful. They take simple, charming concepts and turn them into insufferable LOUD, scripted garbage. But that's the problem. America just HAS to do everything bigger. Because they operate under that ridiculous delusion that BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER. "THROW MORE MONEY AT IT, GUARANTEED TO MAKE IT BETTER" Bigger prizes, bigger audiences, bigger reactions from contestants, host and crowd. Bigger production value, bigger titties. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, BIGGER, BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER. THATS what America needs to learn. A game of Deal or no Deal is supposed to be tense, full of emotion, and quiet. It doesn't need "bigger" anything. The minimalist style of the show mixed with the opportunity to make some good money, and the tension created via these things, is what made that show a massive hit in Britain. I dunno if you've actually seen both versions of that show, but i have. And it serves as another perfect example of why what me and the guy that made this post is saying, is true. Every contestant HAS to be loud and "entertaining" (which always results in coming across like arrogance and as being utterly grating) and by entertaining, obviously i mean louder and bigger, and entirely scripted. Because in America, apparently nobody is confident that the concept of the show alone will be enough to keep viewers interested. Hence, the loud, arrogant, constantly wise-cracking, scripted host, and similar-in-nature contestants. Hence, the added stakes and rules nobody asked for the almost ALWAYS serve to cheapen the original concept of the game/show. I've tried watching many versions of Americas game/quiz shows and panel shows. Because that's what i love to watch. And i always look for MORE, which usually means looking outside of my own country, for more content. EVERY American show I've tried to sit and watch with my girl has been an absolutely painful experience that we only suffered through the entirety of because it usually starts entertaining us by providing us with something to laugh at for the WRONG reasons. It becomes something for us to verbally mock, which ends up being entertaining in its own right. That's the ONLY value to be had from this artificial, scripted, emotion-free, loud, convoluted DRIVEL that the USA calls "light entertainment". This is in no way a slight against the entirety of America. I have many American friends, some of them my better friends overall, actually. And I've been to America multiple times, had fun, other than the slight paranoia that at any moment we might "catch some lead", which, to be fair, is not OUR fault 😅. But yeah. I like America just fine. Just not their reality shows or game shows or anything of that nature. Its ALL the same. Show me something that isn't like that, please. Because, seriously. Id love to watch it. Always looking for more good television.
Thank you for the bit about the guy who runs the instagram account for like 600 people. Because that's literally what I do for a living and I can't believe I spend literal hours for 4 likes. It's hilarious.
0:43 is probably the best example of some corporate overlord in some sci Fi movie where they make the people shout thank you Pepsi for bringing us entertainment.
outrageous that it’s not even random and they just decide what the spins will be beforehand. the only thing the contestants can do is leave at the optimal time along the predetermined path...
I don’t think they can even do that. They probably go into it knowing they won’t win. The producers must have instructed them to play all the way until the end, to their inevitable loss. It’s not really a game, just a pretense of one😹
@@bigbearkat2010 those are rigged, but they're not scripted by humans. There is some genuine chance in each try, however small. The people on this show are doomed to lose because the producers have written that they should.

I didn’t have the lines that a shirt has from being folded so i can be shipped, so either he left his house to get a pepsi shirt or he already had it OR he fucking IRONED A SHIRT.
This is what the exiled socialites who actually enjoy Pepsi wild cherry in the capitol watch, because only good sensible people watch the Games, of course.
Halfway through this my brain went 'this doesn't really exist drew is just making it up for content' as a coping mechanism. And honestly that still seems more plausible than this being reality
"they can't cash out early or the show would be over" I've actually seen this happen once with Deal or No Deal. They took the cash way early and DoND just started with a new contestent and ended the show midway through their go
I've heard that, generally, game shows don't actually give the people any prize money until their episode airs, so thats why nobody ever cashes out early or why they don't play it safe, because they're trying to make sure their episode is interesting and long enough to air lmao
Huh. If that's the case, I feel like I'd want to have a long list of crazy stories and maybe a couple of wacky conspiracy theories up my sleeve that I can try to weave into the episode. Or, at least some dad jokes and a backflip or something.
When I was young watching people lose money always felt uncomfortable, but now that I know more about the world, it's unwatchable. Like, these people are profiting off of the contestant's emotional rollercoaster etc, and money could solve so much for so many people.
the one liners are killing me. "hey guy welcome back to the pepsi super bowl halftime show; i am adam levine's shirtless torso and you're watching disney channel."
While this is over the top and deserves all the dragging Drew gives it, extremely sponsored television is not new. It was pretty common during the early days of television. That's actually why soap opera are called that; they were sponsered by soap companies starting with radio shows and it transitioned to television.

It's constant shouting, screaming, cheering, grating, agonising fake positivity. Its 9 times outta 10 scripted to the nines and full of COMPLETELY faked sentiments and emotions.
I'm sorry. But that's just the truth. It's absolutely impossible to watch American versions of British TV game shows. They're absolutely butchered and entirely forceful. They take simple, charming concepts and turn them into insufferable LOUD, scripted garbage. But that's the problem. America just HAS to do everything bigger. Because they operate under that ridiculous delusion that BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER. "THROW MORE MONEY AT IT, GUARANTEED TO MAKE IT BETTER" Bigger prizes, bigger audiences, bigger reactions from contestants, host and crowd. Bigger production value, bigger titties. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, BIGGER, BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.
THATS what America needs to learn. A game of Deal or no Deal is supposed to be tense, full of emotion, and quiet. It doesn't need "bigger" anything. The minimalist style of the show mixed with the opportunity to make some good money, and the tension created via these things, is what made that show a massive hit in Britain.
I dunno if you've actually seen both versions of that show, but i have. And it serves as another perfect example of why what me and the guy that made this post is saying, is true. Every contestant HAS to be loud and "entertaining" (which always results in coming across like arrogance and as being utterly grating) and by entertaining, obviously i mean louder and bigger, and entirely scripted. Because in America, apparently nobody is confident that the concept of the show alone will be enough to keep viewers interested. Hence, the loud, arrogant, constantly wise-cracking, scripted host, and similar-in-nature contestants. Hence, the added stakes and rules nobody asked for the almost ALWAYS serve to cheapen the original concept of the game/show.
I've tried watching many versions of Americas game/quiz shows and panel shows. Because that's what i love to watch. And i always look for MORE, which usually means looking outside of my own country, for more content. EVERY American show I've tried to sit and watch with my girl has been an absolutely painful experience that we only suffered through the entirety of because it usually starts entertaining us by providing us with something to laugh at for the WRONG reasons. It becomes something for us to verbally mock, which ends up being entertaining in its own right. That's the ONLY value to be had from this artificial, scripted, emotion-free, loud, convoluted DRIVEL that the USA calls "light entertainment".
This is in no way a slight against the entirety of America. I have many American friends, some of them my better friends overall, actually. And I've been to America multiple times, had fun, other than the slight paranoia that at any moment we might "catch some lead", which, to be fair, is not OUR fault 😅. But yeah. I like America just fine. Just not their reality shows or game shows or anything of that nature. Its ALL the same. Show me something that isn't like that, please. Because, seriously. Id love to watch it. Always looking for more good television.
Thank you for the bit about the guy who runs the instagram account for like 600 people. Because that's literally what I do for a living and I can't believe I spend literal hours for 4 likes. It's hilarious.

0:43 is probably the best example of some corporate overlord in some sci Fi movie where they make the people shout thank you Pepsi for bringing us entertainment.
outrageous that it’s not even random and they just decide what the spins will be beforehand. the only thing the contestants can do is leave at the optimal time along the predetermined path...
I don’t think they can even do that. They probably go into it knowing they won’t win. The producers must have instructed them to play all the way until the end, to their inevitable loss. It’s not really a game, just a pretense of one😹
Isn't that basically how casino slot machines work?
@@bigbearkat2010 those are rigged, but they're not scripted by humans. There is some genuine chance in each try, however small. The people on this show are doomed to lose because the producers have written that they should.

While this is over the top and deserves all the dragging Drew gives it, extremely sponsored television is not new. It was pretty common during the early days of television. That's actually why soap opera are called that; they were sponsered by soap companies starting with radio shows and it transitioned to television.
