Hi i'm from Comstar and we are happy to announce you have won a luxury cruise just go to the old spaceport next to the old incinerator complex on Van Zant to receive your prize
It makes it impressive that I once managed to destroy ComStar in the RPG once by becoming a dictator of a small stellar domain, taking all their corporate assets in my territory, fighting off their invasion attempts with my overpowered group of space bros, and then setting up a completely legitimate, cheaper, and more effective alternative company and then deprived them of all their sales. TLDR, I beat ComStar with STONKS.
It has that car wars vibe to it. I'd buy it just so I can give a hint to those disspossed kuritans to fudge off while I go to a convienence store. I'm getting tired of getting into firefights just to get snacks.
My favorite two are Uncle Bucky's Urban Mech Emporium and Star League Auto. I'm unironically wanting Urban Mechs and Rotundas now. The commercials were effective, funny and inspired a couple ideas that may turn into a Battletech campaign for a group of friends and I.
I wanted to come back to this video because of the live chat reminded me of the old PnP Mechwarrior RPG. Then I thought of Discount Dan and remembered all the games where the players all became "Discount Dan". It was the 3rd Successor War period and tech was rare and mechs almost out of production. So what does the players who started out as mercs and robot-jocks end up? That's right "Discount Dan's Used Mech Parts". They would loot things and even one named their Mech "One Piece at a Time". They looted so much and got so good at stripping downed mechs (even on the side that hired them) and skedaddling in their dropship that you'd think they were Jawas. Ahh good Times. Discount Dan's Used Mech Parts, because all you gotta do is toss out the body and start cutting. All those good servos, and weapons, and armor.. and oh what is this?! I always wanted an upgraded power-plant. Yup. They even stopped being mercs and started being merchants instead.. Discount Dan's Used Mech Parts, Mobile Edition.
I would pay good money for that game if it was made. Honestly, one playing selling mechs of various quality to pilots instead of being one yourself is an interesting idea, if done right.

What gets me is the Gluger ad, because damn me-if you replaced the Gluger with a burger or a truck and stopped at the eagle shooting lazor beems, it'd be exactly what you can see on commercial breaks.
@@stephendrobinski2426 Arrow IV is a missile artillery system, and I don't think it's hate so much as a joke about how many variants there are, 18 factory variants, not to mention even Clanners have Hunchbacks.
I'm torn between muttering, "What the hell did I just watch?" and falling off my chair in a fit of uncontrolled laughter. In the end, I opted for both; being split in two should never be a reasonable option. :/
Discount Dan, do you know a good place that I can pick up a nice used Commando for my kid? he's about to go on his first pirate hunting sortie and I ... well lets just say his mother's a distant Steiner relation, and while I hope he'll stick to his scouting role, I'd like something that can still core a decent sized mech with a SRM/rocket pod Volley.
Hey, I'm lookin' for Marauder parts. Not the new crap, the.. um... classic ones. Yah, classic. Look, I'm willin' to pay a good amount of C-bills, more if you keep it on the down low. I don't need heat from the HG. Comstar? Hell no, I wish it was them. Look, I don't wanna say their name, cuz they're always listenin'. Wait, you working for the Gold? No, no, deals off, this ain't right. I'm out! You damn bastard ain't taking me like you did my warhammer! Thats right! It has a giant flashlight on it, AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY YOU LITIGATING TIME VAMPIRES!

Dangit, I need to start waiting to see the whole video before posting,,, Ugh.. Okay, the Comstar bit reminds me of when I used to work for Scientologists - and no, that's not a joke.
@The More you Notice Wow you're optimistic, imagine thinking that the dystopian hell we live in will ever collapse. Sorry fucko but the only escape is the sweet embrace of death.
@@GhostBear3067 more like we're living under the (indirect) influence/control of several oligarchies of corporations, not yet under the direct control *and* influence of a single, all-powerful one like Comstar. Oh, and post-Covid, the whole system is imploding at a very slow, but steady rate, so there's that, I guess. But hey, at least said corpo-oligarchs aren't using fucking clowns to advertise their grip on us. Yet.
Wow terminus est insurance lol, that was my mw3 and 4 call sign for 20 years. Haha. And the gluger lol! Still had the waffen stamp on the barrel when saying america lol
Especially if it's a key chain in the form of an actually working urbie with a tiny 2mm blank-firing AC/10 scaled to size with a left arm laser pointer piloted with a phone app ;)
Nailed the taste of IPA to the DOT. I cannot fathom how those became popular. Worst of all is if you're near a city the liquor stores flood themselves with it instead of nice, smooth malts/draghts/ports/ales/lagers/etc. Because fuck me I dunno. Hierarchical evidence that people's sense of taste has been all but destroyed.
I am so happy I came across this clip, I played it for the guys at work and it had my coworkers pissing their pants!!!!! thinking about starting my own Battletech Mercenary Battalion called the Wet Pants Battle Group

It's a reference to the Vandenburg White Wings, a mysterious group of white ships sighted occasionally out in the Deep Periphery.
The ComStar clown bit is pure hilarity! As a Com Guard player I quote it every time me and my buddies play.
Reminds me of... well, just plain Comcast really.
I do not care what anyone else says, that ComStar clown is 100% canon in universe.

Pay your bills, fucko!
I'm so early the SLDF still contracted the catapult.
Not the 'Mech; an actual catapult.
Man, that 20 ton car with nuclear engine and large laser is super tempting...
I definitely want one.
Was that a car or a Locust with wheels?
It has an SRM 2, but if you don't mind shutting down a bit more often you could easily swap in an SRM 4
It has that car wars vibe to it. I'd buy it just so I can give a hint to those disspossed kuritans to fudge off while I go to a convienence store. I'm getting tired of getting into firefights just to get snacks.
Don’t forget it has one ton of Ferro Fibrous armor. You could sacrifice the SRM2 and ammo for more armor or a medium laser and heat sink.
My favorite two are Uncle Bucky's Urban Mech Emporium and Star League Auto.

I ended up watching this 5 times back to back, becuase my 8 year old daughter thinks Dan is honestly the most hilarious spokesperson alive.
If they can do a mech commercial with the energy of oxyclean guy from the 90s and early 2000s, RIP dude, I think it has potential.
"Resistance is expensive. You will be morgaged. Your assets will be distributed in a way benefiting Comstar."
I mean, 40K is nice and all, but Battletech is an inevitable and catastrophic future I can really get behind...
Plus, there's Urban Mechs.
Battletech is something deeper from an older era of writing. its why I like it.
What gets me is the Gluger ad, because damn me-if you replaced the Gluger with a burger or a truck and stopped at the eagle shooting lazor beems, it'd be exactly what you can see on commercial breaks.
My favorite is the Comstar Clown. Just has me laughing every time!

Holy shit I really want that Terminus Est Insurance. Would really consider getting one when I eventually get the beetus and multiple organ failures.
Okay, the kill me like a badass insurance...
...that's fucking BADASS.
Somebody really needs to start a real service like that!!
Discount Dan selling mechs sounds about right.
So did the consequences.
