chips ahoy punk commercial?

[littlebeast]

Has anyone seen the new chips ahoy commercial? It's claymation and has a life-size cookie and a bunch of punk rockers singing "Chips ahoy! oi! oi! oi!", then they say "chunky, not punky."

I know it sounds like i'm kidding, but I'm dead serious here. Maybe someone can get a link.

[ert90]

Omg, I saw this too, lol.

Weird stuff...

[Skidmark Steve]

haha sounds sweet. I'll keep my eyes peeled

[invrtedflag]

they got pucks more correct then half the world and they make cookies!!!!!

[Ghostfire3]

Omgz!!!! I was totally gonna mention this commercial too! I saw it like 5 times today.

[Brain Toad]

Nice 1000th post


I'll be on the look out for this commercial.

[DaveToopes]

TV isn't posi.

[I Am A Jerk]

punx.:chug:

[_JR]

what channel do you watch to see chips ahoy commercials? like nickeleodeon?

[coheneran]

Speaking of weird/bad adverts, did anyone see McDonald's new advertising campaign on TV aimed at adults? It's so sexist. There's basically some scenes of cliched patriarchy with the roles reversed, for example a builder working and then some woman passes underneath his ladder and SHE dogwhistles at HIM, or a guy passing by a repairman's van and seeing someone sitting with their big boots up on the dashboard reading a newspaper, and then he lowers the newspaper and it's a woman and she winks at him 'lewdly'. All the time the announcer is saying something along the lines of "The world is changing, there's no place for a man, but luckily, if you go to McDonalds, you can get a MAN'S BURGER for only £1.99, or the MANLY MAN'S BURGER for £2.99!"

WHAT THE FUUCK! This really pissed me off. Since when is it alright to mock what feminism took a century to achieve, and then make money out of it? This probably sounds like a lot of petty indignance to you.

The cookie advert sounds about right. Punks like to eat cookies and shout Oi a lot.

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I've seen that cookie ad. I thought it was pretty sweet.



Haven't seen the McD's one. Sounds like it may just be a UK thing.

But seriously, don't expect anything from a corporation who wants teenagers to bone a hamburger.

[terronez]

What stations is it on

Shut the hell up.

[username77]

I thought the Chips Ahoy commercial was awesome.

[Culture Shock]

I saw the commerical last night while I was watching Seinfeld I think. I just laughed.

[i_am_zombie_jesus]

I want to see this commercial now.

[holy_roller99]

wow! what an awesome comercial. i shopuld keep an eye out for it or is it only in the UK?

[mullets suk]

hopefully this link works the commercials funny *** hell, if not just go to youtube.com and type in chips ahoy and it should be ther 3rd of 4th one down

[ert90]

I believe I saw this while watching TBS. So if you wanna see it on the TV that might be the one to watch.

[Skippy Prat]

oh man, i so want chips ahoy right now

[POINTLESS5448]

i like how all the punks and cookies are very happy. then again who isnt when it comes to cookies. i also like how the cop is a monkey.

[Theramed]

hnahaha that ads funny

[tappenzee]

What sell-out corporate whore of a former punk made this commercial?

Nabisco is a corporation and treats its workers blahblahblahblah and blahblahblah

JOKES! That commercial's awesome. The Oi! Generation is growing up and making commercials. I love it

[RudeBoyStompin]

It would have been even more punk if the police officer thing starting beating them to death with a nightstick.

[Rise Me Up]

This set punk back 20 years.

[Skippy Prat]

i like how the punx are doing the can-can dance

[Iron Bug]

And that commercials cool.

[RudeBoyStompin]

Or it means that punk is making a comeback since we've got our own little demographic.

[Rise Me Up]

Ew.

[RudeBoyStompin]

I was joking of course.

that is one of the funniest things ive read here ever. nice

"They're all looney" -sweet

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

****, I was just gonna make a thread like this!

Halarious commercial in my opinion.

[Skidmark Steve]

hahaha I wonder what clever punk made that commercial.

[DaveToopes]

Halarious commercial in my opinion.

Don't make me call the grammar police.

[coheneran]

Don't make me call the grammar police.

The grammar wasn't that bad, the spelling was. In what place in the world do people say "halarious"? Or have a keyboard with the I'' next to the 'A'?

[DaveToopes]

Actually, Eran. There is no such world that I know of, and there is no such keyboard that I know of either.

[Brain Toad]

Holy ****, that commercial rules.

[Ghostfire3]

Nice 1000th post


I'll be on the look out for this commercial.

Holy ****, I didn't even notice that was my 1000th post until you pointed that out. I should've made a better one.

[Anarcho Poser]

That comercial rules hardcorely.

OI OI OI

[Fritz Plays Bass]

Guh, of course I don't have cable. Anyone know where a video of this exists? I searched and couldn't find it.

And that commercial confirms how dumb oi kids are.

Here in Australia they've been using diamonds and guns by transplants as the backing music to garnier fructis haircare product ads for about 2 years now. Is this in anyone elses countries or just mine?

[heyimsheep1]

I've never last so hard at a commericial.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I bet the guy who made it was all into post-punk at school, and all the tough Oi Kids picked on him and called him names. And ever since he was 16, he's been planning to get into marketing to get his vengance. "You may be laughing now, in your Cockney Rejects shirt, but one day, I will destroy your precious movement by making it sell cookies" mwhahaahahaha

[Permanent Solution]

That was one of the oddest commercials I've ever seen.

[whiteminority]

Punky Chips Ahoy! Oi! Oi! Oi!

[Rootsradical]

I finally saw it, that was a pretty cool commercial.

[sam-a-lam]

i saw it...
and now i want to make cookies

[Skidmark Steve]

I wouldn't be suprised if I seen a bunch of punX eating Chips Ahoy cookies at shows now...

[Liebensaft]

I love cookies.

[Mispeled]

Lame.


Well, I guess it was a little bit funny. :-P

[Brain Toad]

Cookies are damn good, I wouldn't blame them.

[Buzzbomb]

Im eatting chunks ahoy as we speak.

[DaveToopes]

Dude that's punk as fuk.

[LeftoverVictim719]

hahaha yea I saw that while I was in my room. I like it. I don't blame 'em for doing it. I mean, what rhymes with "hoi" and "chunk" that you could do a song about? Oi and punk.

[LeftoverVictim719]

Does anyone else think they look an astoundingly much like the Casualties?

[POINTLESS5448]

the casualties arent as happy with big smiles. and i dont think theyres any cookies in the casualties. i jsut saw it on tv haha.

:lol: That's funny..:thumb: As for the commerical it was funny and i was singing along "oi!, oi!, oi!". It's freaking catchy...But on the other side it kinda sucks that punk is being transformed more mainstream by other people, groups, or corporations.:upset:

IS THIS THREAD OVER YET?

[Ghostfire3]

I bought those chunky chips ahoy cookies before I even saw the commercial! I'm so punX.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

I'm going to learn that song.

[_JR]

I'm going to learn that song.

that would be ****ing awesome for the forum band.

seriously

[Abandon all hope]

Worst F'ing commercial ever.
I read this thread before I saw it, so naturally I was glued to the T.V. for the duration of the commercial. I want those thirty or so seconds of my life back right now. And the time it's taken me to type this message back, as well.
I think punk might be dead.

[albert_bass]

What a ****ty commercial man... It's so retarded I'd like to punch the guy who came with the idea.

I mean, chips ahoy comes and tells you to do a commercial, and you put 5 punks singing oioioi!? (Yes, I'm counting the cookie as a punk, because if not, the relation between them is beyond me)

This proves the world is going to s'hit.

[One Step Beyond]

Jeez, you guys are f*cking uptight.

They wanted to create a fun, catchy commercial, and they did so. It's not a sign of the coming apocalypse in the world of punk, that's just stupid. This advertisement isn't going to make punk more commercial than it already is.

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

Those are the ones with no sence of humor.

[Rise Me Up]

I'm in the middle of everyone. On one hand it's really terrible; a telivision commericial trying to sell cookies with punk, but on the other hand it's really freaking hysterical.

I'm not saying the world of punk is going to s'hit. I meant the world in general. Prove is you think the commercial is a good, and catchy commercial, when it's plain awful.

Those are the ones with no sence of humor.

Did you mean scene of humor?

Or maybe sense of humor?

[One Step Beyond]

The world is going to s'hit because a cookie company tried to include punk in their advertisement?

And it is a good commercial. It serves it's purpose completely. It may not be in your tastes, but it is a good, catchy commercial.

[Skidmark Steve]

I bet shirts with the "punky chips ahhoy" cookie will start selling at Hot Topic soon.

[Flagjacket]

This commcercial is such serious business. Punk is mainstream now and corporations are gonna use it to sell things. I saw a hacky sack that came in a box that had a picture of a dude with a mohawk doing a flip and kicking it at the other guy.

I called my friends once for no other purpose than to inform him of the existence of a hair salon called Heads You Win.

You seriously don't think I said the world is going to s'hit trying to mean exactly that. It's an obvious exaggeration which I do more than I even try.

And it's not a good commercial. Just because it deals with punk you don't have to like it, it's stupid, unfunny, and doesn't serve its purpose. You'll remember it because you feel identified with it but why should normal people remember this or, mantain the link between punks and cookies in their minds? A commercial needs to have a hook, a motto and something to make people remember it. Not to make punks think they are better because they're on a TV commercial.

[One Step Beyond]

I could care less what it deals with really. I don't even listen to very much punk anymore. I don't identify with it, which is probably one reason I can laugh at it so easily.

How does it not serve it's purpose? It's short, entertaining, and obviously has gotten people thinking about it.

It has a hook to younger crowds, who see punk as a trendy thing. They aren't targeted out "true" punks or anything like that.

And you connect cookies with punk now, at least for the time being, so it does have a way for people to remember it.

Come one dude, it's just a damned commercial.

[Brain Toad]

I don't like it because I feel connected to it, I like it because it's funny. And it's ****ing catchy. And it obviously served it's purpose if there is 90 posts about it on a message board.

[albert_bass]

Meh, whatever. I hate it with a passion.

And as I said, the only reason there are posts here is because there are punks in the commercial. Put any other thing on it and it wouldn't be discussed anywhere in the net, and you wouldn't think it's catchy or anything. And I'd say you'd probably find it annoying.

True it's discussed here because it has punks, but if it had something else and someone enjoyed it, I don't doubt it'd be discussed somewhere on the net.

Chips Ahoys! recent commercial have been some of their best.

I don't think so but it's just a commercial so I won't follow a discussion on such a trivial thing.

I bought an Adolescents shirt from a Hot Topic yesterday for $9. They had Subhumans cds too. OMG!

[Flagjacket]

On a serious note, I thinkt hese types of things are just caused by people wanting to be obscure. I'll admit it does sorta bother me when things I like get really popular, but I think deep inside everyone does too. It does sorta bother me when I see Minor Threat shirts being sold at Hot Topic, but if you think about it, is that really gonna tear apart punk? Even if it does, you can still hide out in your room and listen to SSD and Screeching Weasel.

[Iron Bug]

Most people pass over the good music at Hot Topic for the new underOATH shirt anyway. Plus this Hot Topic wasent as much of a trendy store as it was covering all genres of music, it was cool.

And to stay on topic, cookies r00l.

It's just a problem of people wanting to keeping something to themselves and not share because they don't think others are worthy of knowing about it. I used to be the same way. But you have to get over it, because what fun is knowing about something if you can't enjoy it with someone else?

[Flagjacket]

Well, I can enjoy lots of music with you guys here except for bands I get fro MRR cause I don't think anyone else here is a regular reader of that. But whatever obscure bands I find there's usually at least one person here who likes them too. I just wouldn't like it if I went to school tomorrow and everyone and their little brother was wearing a Latterman shirt.

I'd be miffed, I'll admit that. But I'd never let it upset me, because then I have more people who I can talk to Latterman about, and they may be more open to learning more about what music is about, and then I'd have gained more people to give music to and get music from.

[Flagjacket]

Well, that may have to do with the people in your environment. People here use number as a way of defining credibility, and if tried to tell anyone that My Chemical Romance was not a good band, they throw out the "Why do so many people like them then."

[Iron Bug]

I don't mind people liking my music, I just dont like the stupid ones liking it.

Thats what every show is like at my town its soo good.

I guess i dont like it when some other people liking my music that i do but i dont care about it that much. However it does annoy me when people pretend to like certain bands because other people do, even when they dont actually listen to them

If you guys are so worried about the commercialization of punk you're about 25 years late.

[maco]

And to stay on topic, cookies r00l.
And as to the cds, it's never hard to find some good Cruxshadows or VNV Nation since they just sit there while all the trendy kids buy the MCR cds. I have no idea where I'd get industrial without Hot Topic, actually. None of the other cd stores sell any Apoptygma Berzerk or even The Birthday Massacre, and they're fairly wellknown (er....I think TBM is getting to be more wellknown...umm...fine go with Rammstein, I know they're more common). I can think of one store where I might stand a chance of finding industrial cds. It's the only store where I ever found cds by rather obscure ska bands (well, not obscure, but certainly not 3rd wave super-popular stuff)

[One Step Beyond]

All the bands you just mentioned are popular among scene industrial kids.

[maco]

Making HT the only store that sells that stuff. I've never seen any industrial stuff in any other store. I just named whatever ones my friends have gotten me to listen to, so if they're telling me scene industrial bands (that sounds too weird....scene kids listen to fake emo), blame them ;)

I still want to know where I can buy Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Malice Mizer, Psycho Le Cemu, etc. Those ones I definitely haven't seen anywhere, but I want J-rock cds.

[One Step Beyond]

THere are scene kids for all kinds of genres. =\

I love j-rock, but you have to order that stuff.

[albert_bass]

About the conversation going on the last page: I don't know if it was indirectly directed to me (nice word game there, or whatever that is) but just in case I'll write my thoughts. I wish punk was mainstream. I mean, I'd be really happy if lots of people loved the same music I love, and I try to force people into my music, so far I've made 10 people like punk in part because of me.

My point was that the commerical sucked. End.

I still think it does, it has nothing to do with it being about punks or whatever it is, I'm not a punk anyway, I just like the music, I don't care if "real punk is dead" or whatever you want to say about that nor I care about punkness in general. The only reason why I said the commercial sucked is because it does, and because there is no reason to put punks in a comercial about cookies. What's the point? Nothing, it's like it's done with a random commercial generator.

And by the way, shouldn't this thread be closed like....4 pages ago? Or moved to the pit?

[AIRIC]

Yeah it should've been closed.

1) Punk is popular among preteens now
2) Punky and chunky rhyme
3) Ahoy and Oi rhyme
4) British monkeys are funny

It makes perfect sense from an advertising stand point. There was probably a former punk on the team who thought it up.

You know this won't lead anywhere, you like it I don't, some people like it some don't. You can defend the ad whatever you want and you won't convince me to like it nor I'll do the same with any of you. What I still don't understand is why don't you close the damn thread.

I don't care that you don't like it. I'm just tired of people thinking this one commercial will make punk commercialized or kill it or some stupid **** like that. Don't like the commercial, fine. I hate most commercials that people find entertaining.

And I'm not closing it because a) it is driving people crazy that I'm not and it's funny and b) I don't feel right about closing a thread with an unfinished argument because it makes bad blood.

But I think this one is finished, so I'll close it finally.
