Wish you take your pop-culture schlock on the go? Well now theres Jamster, replete with all kinds of low brow goodies for your cellphone!! I mean who doesn't want a "I'll pop a cap in your ass" ringtone?!?! Portable ignorance at its finest! Thanks Jamster!

Not just in young America, they are doing the same in the Netherlands, and England, Germany etc
But I think I grew quite immune to it now, I can't really care anymore.
 
Try visiting their website and listening to some of the ring tones. I did it for larffs.

Some of the worst sounding shit I'd ever heard. The "fart" ringtone sounds like someone pushing the lowest key on a crappy 80s casio keyboard set on electric piano.

Every time I see that fuckin' Jamster Frog thing on tv, I die a little inside. ;_;

Do you guys get that in the states?

I hear the shit everywhere!
People in the barbershop laugh and seem to love the jamster commercials, in between 106 and park.

I was wondering if anyone was seeing this shit. THere's literally like 2 commercials of it every break on comedy central. I can't fathom who'd buy this shit.

I heard that "Pick up the phone" ring tone and just cringed in public. Whoever thought of this marketing scheme needs to be shot and killed. I dont want to watch Tv anymore cause of this and freaking MD's "I'm loving it" shut up already with the commercials.

You now belong to FMT.
pretty soon people will start buying it, and people that have it will get all the laughs because everyone knows about it.... I know me and my friends laugh all the time at the commercial's ignorance, but the first person to actually get a ringtone and it goes off in public will be king for a day, I am sure that every person under 30 will instantly recognize it.

Strap on your hooker ...
Yeah, what's up with these commercials? It wasn't even a slow build, there was nothing for them and then BAM there's 5 spots every half hour.

Ah well, just more reason to not watch TV.

They're not only doing it to young America!

Everytime that fucking "crazy frog" advert comes on here in the UK (which is about every ad break, sometimes twice an ad break) I just feel like throwing my TV out the window. Which I would, if it wasn't a 28" mofo.
 
The things that are really fucked up about this:

-this Jamster thing got really popular like, out of nowhere (literally, I'd never seen these things until the day before Christmas on only BET, and now I see them on almost every channel all the time)

-the marketing mechanics behind it are apparently so good, that other companies started doing the same shit (they have a clone of Jamster called "Dirtyhippo" or something, and a jokes version, and so on...and there are magazine versions appearing in RS and Blender :()

I am so sick of that dancing yellow puff bird.


The worst ringtone ever:

"WHERE MY BABY DADDY AT???? WHERE HE BE????????"
 
Thank God I'm not the only person who finds their products the most atrocious things on earth. And the sad part is I bet millions across this country are eating this shit up like candy.
 
jamster run the crazy frog (that old silly noise usually with a picture of a ferrari on the net) advert at least twice every break on all mtv channels in the uk. I want to murder them

The worst part about it is that I keep seeing new ones. I swear I see a new jamster commercial like every 4 days.
 
I can't fucking believe how many times these commercials air. Just fast forwarding through one commercial break with the tivo... I'll see 3 fucking Jamster commercials.
