What do you guys think of the MLP commercials?

[Yummychickenblue 301]

 

I think they probably need some better voice actors.

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

They're obviously PONY-RIFIC!

The voice here, though:

Not even close. -_-  I liked the part where Rainbow was flying around, though. xD

 

"Ask a parent first."  And not even necessarily one of YOUR parents; just anyone who's a parent.

Personally, I could care less about the toy line. As usual, they are marketing schemes (it's the truth and you all know it).

[Arctofire 225]

Their awful, enough said.

Beyond the poor voice acting, they're a gender-conforming stereotype wrapped up in one big box. "Family" toys should be toys — played by not just boys and girls regardless of age, not just for one age group and one sex. These commercials do nothing to subvert that.

I think the commercials are hilarious. Especially ones where they try and voice the characters ("It's Twahlaht Sporkle's Buhlewn!").

There is a massive disconnect between the passion, motivation, quality, and respect for the characters that the animation department has for the MLP brand, and the completely vapid crap the toy department puts out. These girls look like they've been given a large amount of champagne and forced to smile weakly at gun point. 

 

compare that to The Hub's (Ripperino in pepperino) commercials

Terrifying. Just... Terrifying!

They get things to sell well enough

The ones over here are so bad...

 

 

There was another advert from the same channel, but I can't find it anywhere. It was so cringeworthy... ;_;

I live in a bit of a bubble.

 

No Cable

 

No Sat

 

Just Intertubes and a Roku box.

 

I had actually forgotten about the concept of televised advertising, excepting HuluPlus. But even that is tame and tends to have adverts that seem to be directed at investors more than the ponies who watch them.

 

And, no. I will not click on any of those adverts posted above. I do not need to destroy my appreciation for the show.

[TheJLeeTeam 914]

I think they're pretty good. I wouldn't care how good they are because most are just toy commercials.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

They scare me, but pretty much all children's toy commercials scare me, as well as make me facepalm, some are just too stupid(But it's for kids I guess).

You know how I can tell that was scripted? It has bronies buying pony toys with brushable hair.

[1Bit 1,531]

The toy ones are super cringy..but I guess they're not as bad to a young girl audience. The ones for the actual show are pretty good though. Especially the season 5 ones

Brilliant deduction, Mr. Holmes.

[iluvfluttershy 35]

Most of the MLP commercial are too girly for me.

I wouldn't think Twilight would sing "Isn't It amazing now that I have princess wings!"

They're pretty horrible. It's not just the MLP commercials I hate, either. I hate 99.99% of the commercials I see everyday. Seriously, people don't know how to make commercials that aren't annoying these days. 

[Dark Horse 12,799]

They're not always the best commercials.. but they are the most interesting ponies in the world.

Oh god I hope my friend didn't see that, that thing is one of the worst ways to describe this show, sigh I feel sorry for all the people who were put off of this show by that thing. But from what I understand a lot of the toy commercials are similar, in which case I don't support them as they continue the concept of gender roles, sigh why can't hasbro learn from FIM...

What about this one (tho it's not MLP related, but whatever)? I find this specific commercial to be cleverly well done in every aspect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI

That made my day, like I can't stop laughing now, the whole Alejandro part sent me over the edge.

[Confucius 194]

Commercials are the one place where Hasbro doesn't cobsider the male fanbase. This just makes bronies look bad to my parents when they see these girly commercials. They ask "so you're into this girly stuff?" I swear if I worked in the ideas department I would suggest them to acknowledge all the people who enjoy the show and market to them. More people= more money it would boost sales and make more fans happy!
