ManaMinori 4,145 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 I heard that a Super Bowl commercial runs at 5 mil. A pop. Do you think Bronies crowdfunding and giving proceeds to Hasbro would secure our favorite prismacolor ponies in the commercial running for the next superbowl?

Dark Qiviut 22,444 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Nope. If there's going to be a SB commercial for FIM, have Hasbro pony up the cash to create their own commercial. They have the budget and resources to film it while bronydom in general doesn't. 1 "Talent is a pursued interest." — Bob Ross Pro-Brony articles: 1/2/3/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiratePony 8,475 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 (edited) All the commercials have been filmed and edited by now. Plus they're a commercial entity - as touching and artistic as super bowl ads can be, there has to be some benefit for Hasbro. And that's 5 million for the spot. That doesn't factor in the cost to pay for the spot involved, plus salary for the crew and the damn dirty actors.

I'll admit to not reading the post carefully, because I don't see the purpose for millions to be spent on a brony themed Superbowl commercial. What would it's purpose be, other than millions from the fandom wasted and minor entertainment? but the superbowl isn't watched a lot outside the US, even better I have to fo out of my way to find it here. Last year, almost 40 million watched it outside the US. ...not huge but that's still a large number. 1 Courtesy of @Sparklefan1234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fandom of Bronies is not their product to promote If Hasbro thought it was in their best interests, they would pony up (har dee har) the money themselves and make a commercial. Also, basically they'd be accepting 5 million dollars as a gift, which they would have to pay taxes on, in order to create a product commercial for the fans that gave them five million dollars. Why should bronies pay for hasbros ads? Plus this. Their commercials already come from revenue purchased by us anyway. From 5 million dollars in merchandise sales. I'd rather them put 5 million dollars into the show or upcoming movie, or even advertising from the upcoming movie...not paid from us though.

ManaMinori 4,145 January 28, 2016 Author Share January 28, 2016 Why should bronies pay for hasbros ads?well, they essentially already buy into Hasbro's 30 minute long ads by buying the product. So why not back the ad itself? Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestum 2,493 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 well, they essentially already buy into Hasbro's 30 minute long ads by buying the product. So why not back the ad itself?

Jeric 46,854 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 It would violate the Ad Rules in place and thus would not get approved. The cost is not the only barrier to entry. Also, you realize that the ads do not air on international markets, right? Even Canada will simulcast with ads focused on their interests not ours. That has been a common complaint for years. Also, I'd rather contribute to a cause that directly helps people. I would not financially support this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grepper 3,192 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 I don't see the point in spending millions of dollars for a Superbowl ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Do you mean an ad for the show or an ad for "bronies". Because I think advertising bronies themselves would kind of harm the community more than help it. It would give the impression that bronies are so needy of attention they needed to buy a superbowl commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath 2,486 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 well, they essentially already buy into Hasbro's 30 minute long ads by buying the product. So why not back the ad itself? Actually, not that many bronies buy the product. So I fail to see your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 Actually, not that many bronies buy the product. So I fail to see your point. Correct. The majority of sales still come from the target audience in the toy department. Bronies dominate specific product lines, but no where close to a majority. The only product lines that bronies really dominate themselves is products intended for bronies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,742 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 I can't see something like this doing anything other than portraying bronies as over-obsessive nutcases with too much time and money on their hands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simba86 1,541 January 28, 2016 Share January 28, 2016 why spend millions to advertise someone else's product line? what good would that do? if we pulled millions of dollars together we could find a better and more charitable use for it 2 It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!

Detritus 258 January 29, 2016 Share January 29, 2016 This would probably just backfire and piss off a lot of people. I think it's better we keep a low profile. One of the most common complaints about bronies is that we shove ponies in everyone's faces. This would just add fuel to the fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
