Members Eric83 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 LOL! They have done it before. I remember once Bo and Hope had a full blown conversation on Cheerios and how they're good for your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Ha, i loved it. Hey if you have to hawk it just do it. Soaps need to go back to just doing promos for products right there on set, in character. Sadly, its been done a lot. The worst was the Midol ad with steph/chels/morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wasn't there one with Arianna/Gabi a few weeks ago with Midol or some other product for women? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah. Midol, Nature Valley. Cheerios, Tylenol, and a few others must have deals because they are also all seen in the background. Dr Pepper too, i think. I dont mind it. I mean, if it helps the show... and honestly, at these these companies are investing in soaps. I am sure it could be done better, but im always amused when they do it. The lingering camara shots on the product bother me more than the dialog actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 Showing them in the background or camera shots isnt so bad or obvious, but when they have the characters actually start reciting words taken straight out of a commercial, I have to roll my eyes. I remember on AMC and OLTL a year or 2 ago, they went overboard with Campbell's soup promotion. At least that was kinda worked into the storyline of the show as both were doing Go Red charity events. I was LMAO at this write up of the Days moment I mentioned http://divaofdaysofourlives.blogspot.com/2010/06/nature-valley-what.html LMAO, I just found that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted July 5, 2010 Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 and the Bo/Hope Cheerios one. My goodness, Hope just whips out a jumbo size box of Cheerios in the middle of a restaurant. How random! Its not even a regular size box but the real big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2010 LOL, Bo asked Henderson was he hungry, because they had a fresh box of Cheerios. WTF does that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Michael Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 I don't even care how terrible the product placement bits are. The more hamhanded, the better. I get such a kick out of how ridiculous they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thats how i really feel. I mean, it has to be done and there is no way to just slip it in and make it natural. So ham it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
