Can confirm 2 year old note 2 working perfectly fine, no case btw


These ads must be made just to make people talk about them

 

[Soodanim]

The very last thing I saw in the last video was "The next big thing is already here". They could have just used that as a static ad and saved time and money.

 

[AxeMan]

I've hated every thing I've ever had from Apple.

Shuffle
iPhone


I hated my HTC when I had it (not as much as Apple stuff)
Sensation

I'm just ok with my Samsung
Note (original)

I miss my old Nokias

 

[yogloo]

My Note 2 never ceased to impress me everyday. It's an old phone by fast moving tech standard, but mods shows that you can teach an old dog a new trick.

 

[Naked Snake]

They did that too

 

[MicH]

Yikes, these are awful. Didn't even get a chuckle out of me :/

 

[Majine]

You can say "B-b-but Apple made the I'm a PC/Mac ads!!" but those seem like a work of art compared to this.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Its unfunny

Spoiler

because it's true

 

[NekoFever]

Look how stupid this iWatch thing is.....


....Look at our watch!!

 

[Volotaire]

Thought HTC s supposed to be garbage with bad battery life?


Shhh, we don't talk about him anymore.

The HTC is one of the best phones out now sans the rear camera performance, power button placement and slightly smaller battery (still good).

 

[Bomber Bob]

Samsung USA PR & Publicity department is so fucking embarrassing

 

[JohnDoe]

Phonewars are definitely sadder and more cringeworthy than consolewars now.

 

[One4U]

I am a kind of apple hater (yes, I admit it), but this kind of video is awkward.

 

[massoluk]

This is bad, man. The materials are there, but I guess they asked some intern to write the jokes or something.

 

[Sarcasm]

I'd still be using my Note 1 if it didn't go through a typhoon.

 

[……forgetit]

I giggled at m'lady.

 

[wildfire]

The first and last videos were very stupid and hypocritical. They rest in the middle were on point though.

While the ads were convincing but after using the Note 2 for awhile I just want a multitasking phone that fits better in my hand. Any recommendations?

 

[glaurung]

I imagine these ads would be funny in a parallel world, where Samsung does not hire a wet turd to write the scripts.

And there is also something incredibly unsettling about simply mocking Apple. How much "innovation" can Samsung claim there's been between Galaxy S1 and S5?

 

[Volotaire]

I usually find some of these videos hilarious when they can be done right, but these were just unfunny and unintelligible. The image above was better than all those videos combined.

 

[Cavalier]

I like the Galaxy S5 Wall Huggers ad much better. These 2 guys aren't that funny.

 

[Hasney]

Samsung should beware. I'm no Apple fan but my Galaxy Note 2 is falling apart and my next phone will NOT be Samsung. Wretched build quality tbh

Same with my S4 and they refused to fix it in warranty. Goodbye Samsung products, you shall not be missed.

 

[Abounder]

M'lady!

I was entertained.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Ugh, these are horrible and unfunny adverts. What, may I ask, are Samsung's mighty innovations in the last few years then?

I have a Galaxy 3 but am not really a fan and I'm jumping ship to Xperia when I upgrade.

 

[SmokyDave]

I'm a big fan of 'tit for tat' advertising, but these aren't funny or biting enough.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I cringed.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Yeah, mildly funny. I like the actors.....

Do these ads work? Somehow I feel like giving your competitor so much attention and importance is counter intuitive.

I'm a big fan of 'tit for tat' advertising, but these aren't funny or biting enough.

The Audi BMW 'checkmate' ads, now THOSE were funny and clever.

 

[Jams775]

I'm a big fan of 'tit for tat' advertising, but these aren't funny or biting enough.

Yeah the big screen one and screaming in excitement during a pre-announcement has potential. They should just have written it better.

 

[hirokazu]

I think these things are amusing, sometimes because of how spot on they are and sometimes because of how cringeworthy they are.

Either way, i kinda feel bad for Samsung. It's sad that they try their hardest to mock Apple, but at the same time, they wish they were like Apple and try to be like them.

(I haven't watched this set yet.)

 

[Replicant]

Samsung should beware. I'm no Apple fan but my Galaxy Note 2 is falling apart and my next phone will NOT be Samsung. Wretched build quality tbh

Ugh, this. My Galaxy Note 2 10.1 tablet runs like shit. On the positive side, I can toss it around without worrying about it (it helps I got it for free). On the other hand, my God, it's annoying to use.

Not that iOS hasn't bored me to death already. I think my next phone will be Z3. Hopefully it's better than Samsung products but with that Android customization.

 

[Lkr]

They did that too

This is a good ad if they are using it on websites like gaf(in before the ad appears in this thread). The real problem is that my dad has no idea what this means. But then again the people that really wanted a big screen more than anything else already have a note so sometimes I wonder who they are advertising to. If you've wanted a bigger screen and stuck with the iPhone for a long time like myself, why the hell would I buy a note when apple is releasing a big screen iPhone?

 

[Squalor]

Are they salty that no one talks about Samsung events like Apple events?

 

[The Mule]

if samsung had apple's marketing department, instead of their current one, they'd be unstoppable

 

[kyongwon]

horrible ads, horrible company

...

but i'm still waiting for note 4 for that delicious s pen and multiwindow

 

[glaurung]

Are they salty that no one talks about Samsung events like Apple events?

What Samsung events?

 

[Squalor]

What Samsung events?

Exactly.

But the latest one was at the beginning of the month.

 

[mclem]

Is the guy on the right in the OP the guy who played the head of Clovis in Veep?

 

[Wiktor]

I must admit, I laughed at the bigger screen one.

 

[Dabanton]

I can sorta understand sporting rivalries heck even console wars but phone wars?

It's just amazingly pathetic from all sides.

 

[Wiktor]

Ugh, these are horrible and unfunny adverts. What, may I ask, are Samsung's mighty innovations in the last few years then?

I do think Note was the most important and influential smartphone after first iPhone

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Really bad, but since there's one about the livestream I'm gonna assume they just quickly slapped these together.

They do best when they just casually diss the competition. "Ohh you can't do that??? *smug smile*"

 

[glaurung]

There's some comedy in the YT comments.

"I am afraid to watch this video because the Samsung device might explode at any moment."

 

[Mammoth Jones]

Shitty ad. I'd rather they talk about what's good about their devices rather than "LOL competition sucks".

 

[Solemn_In_Berlin]

I like the Galaxy S5 Wall Huggers ad much better. These 2 guys aren't that funny.

This.

 

[Novoitus]

I feel like the Mac vs PC ads were clever when they first started.

I don't understand the commercial where the lady puts her s5 on airplane mode and gets a day battery life with a few percent left. She can't use her fucking phone, how is it any better than the girl sitting down by an outlet to charge hers?

They weren't clever at all. They were as bad as this.

 

[Camwi]

So much salt in this thread.

 

[Jimrpg]

I feel like the Mac vs PC ads were clever when they first started.

No they were horrible and mocked PC users. It's probably where a lot of the Apple hate comes from.

 

[Anth0ny]

Apple started this shit

Ads that mock the opponent always suck.

 

[MarkMclovin]

 

[JayDub]

All understandable..

Phones are expensive, extremely personal and a statement of your taste, and you only have one at a time...if anything "phone wars" makes a lot of sense.

Console wars? Nostalgia, wanting one centralized console for all your games..especially with digital and especially with MS and Sony requiring paid online (hose gonna pay for 2 online services?)...not as good of an argument as phones but still, understandable.

 

[BFIB]

Samsung and all those other companies that just pour money into ads knocking Apple need to take that money and invest it into their flagship product.

All it does is reinforce the insecurities about Apple in general.
