My dad watched an Evony puzzle ad, thought he could do better and now is high key addicted to the game. He plays it like 8 hours a day. I worry about him.
Just be happy he's not playing Twerk Run 3D
Oh no
Sorry Dowsey, your dad fell for the easiest bait in the world.
Jebaited
😁Well bless his heart.
By the way, the ad that had the joker genuinely had the rights to use it (state of survival) and before the joker they had Darrel from the walking dead also with the rights for it
state of survival is ass clash of clans
regret spending money on the character Lucky a year ago
or even playing
Ur mad
How in the world did they get the rights to joker?!?!?!?!
i love their " do it in 1 take so we only have to pay them for 1 hour of work" approach to advertising
Yeah that's just depressing
I have such a psychotic hatred for mobile game ads, that I can't even watch Mr. Glizzy judge them
fair enough
The only way I can even remotely tolerate ads is watching Big A. I normally run like 5 different adblockers to catch everything, and I'll even go so far as to switch to my hulu when I'm watching a show with someone at their house because the ads every few minutes fill me with rage
That's not healthy
Fucking same this is so hard to watch
It was hard enough for me to just listen to the video, I couldn’t even bear to see it.
flying gorilla is one of the only ad I ever watched wholy and also downloaded the game after it
The monetization of that game is also so fucking wild. Like I don't know why you would buy any of the currency in the store when you can literally have exponential growth much larger than that in like 5 minutes. Plus they have a option to remove ads when I haven't once seen a ad in that game
I legit got the ad like a month ago and it became the only mobile game I have downloaded. It’s fun too
@@rnglillian8081 Would be cool if it was intentional, like the guy just uses the store as a donation bag.
@@rnglillian8081 You buy it out of respect
Game rocks I downloaded it. It's got a good bit of ads though.
"I'm forming a society" is the best quote I've heard, let's just hope they recast Jared Leto and tattoo it on his forehead
There's a lot more ads for Lily's Garden. There's a whole other plotline where her grandma is a murderer or something, and even a series of live action ads
I dont think it's lillys garden, but yes it was litterally Kathy Bathes who played grandma 💀
Yep I just looked it up it was merge mansion
The creator of the Lily's Garden ads really just went and made a whole soap opera for a mobile game. Netflix wishes they had that kind of talent
Never gonna be Merge mansion tho
I saw big A at my local Starbucks today. He screeched horrifically at the barista for coffee and proclaimed himself as the glizzy gobbling coffee cow. He then jumped the counter and chugged a gallon of coffee and slapped a kid shortly after. It was terrifying
I was the kid
And I was the barista :(
Based
I was the counter ;-;
I was the gallon of coffee
19:14 Thanks for featuring me in this! Happy to see you loved the ad and it made you laugh! It was great working with Ni No Kuni till they asked me to add the ending and then added a second ending...why did they ask me to add an ending if they were going to ad a second one. I agree with your point of the end feeling inqauthentic because I felt hella awkward recording it based on how they edited it!
Seeing the vod with the Lily's Garden ads felt like a fever dream. It's so bizarre that there are so many ads that have nothing to do with the gameplay and are still effective to lure players in, using mostly the same psychological tactics (that seem to work). Was a super entertaining stream!
The flying gorilla ad campaign is also hilarious
I live in Asia, where this kind of ad is king. Literally every ad UA-cam showed me during this video was a mobile game ad with a streamer "playing" it
I would off myself jesus christ
My least favorite ads are the ones that have you play the mini game but it just goes straight to the App Store instead
@varinta🔞⤵️ At least they aren't these ads in the comments
It’s a little hypocritical for the *self proclaimed* “Coffee Cow” to call something very very weird I think.
Imagine he pins this lol
My favorite by far is this game called Evertale, where all of the game ads are REALLY well fleshed out pokemon style horror ads, with a clearly planned lore about how as a trainer, you end up catching monsters and end up killing them and people, but come to find out there's no monsters, just people, and you've been on a killing spree the entire time. Meanwhile, the actual gameplay is a gacha raid shadow legends RPG without a single horror element in the game, and no reference to any of the horror trailers. It's insane to me.
There is a single connecting thread: The yandere maid that occasionally gets to show up in the ads is in fact a murderous yandere maid
What makes Evertale worse is that its like 2$ to join on the store, I snuck in when it was free once to check and immediately went "Yup this is lame, done this all before in better games"
Surprised that no one ever brings up the “game” Evertale in this situation which is a popular UA-cam game ad. The game that’s advertised actually looks good and very interesting as a Pokémon clone that I would actually play, but the game is literally nothing like the company advertises like it’s not anywhere close.
valid, it’s like depicted as a horror mystery monster story that looks dope and eerie, i’ve never taken the time too download it, but it sucks that it’s different lmao
I saw an ad for evertale before and was interested so I looked up a review. was also disappointed to find out it's just a scam
It was on sale for free for a bit, I downloaded but haven't gotten around to checking it out
@@HatsuneInku it’s not free to begin with??? ☠️☠️☠️
So having downloaded and played evertale everyday for probably 6 months (I've since deleted it), there's literally two games on it. The first thing it lets you play is *kinda* like pokemon, since you can catch monsters and level them up and stuff, but you really only use the various anime story characters. Then you finish that and the main game is your standard gacha autobattler.
I did find the game fun, but I deleted it because I was too hooked and knew if I kept it I'd spend money, and I'm not spending real money on a gacha game
Bro this just scratched the tip of the iceberg. We need a part 2 to this
@Wutang 4eva or "scratched the surface"
Boost, I also love the nonsensical use of expression 😄
@Wutang 4eva thanks
LMAO SCRATCHED THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG LMAOOOO😭😭🤫
@@benjamingerrard2213 I'm trying my best man
Thank you for covering this, it honestly surprises me how none of this is regulated and how blatantly fake some ads are. I'm serious, they advertise a game that doesn't even exist, and I'm not even exaggerating, they will advertise a game that is actually interesting, and when you check out its store page it isn't even the same game. Scummy work
I always wonder what kind of people download these…the obvious answer would be children,but children don’t have enough money to make them so insanely profitable
I'm graduating today but seeing the ad that I sent making it into the thumbnail is truly the best moment of my life, thank you Big CC.
Congrats!
@@shiftin1191 - Thanks! Making it into the video is such a once in a lifetime achievement. Oh, and graduating is cool too.
@@Adam-ei9kj 😬
Lilys Garden is a knock off of the true AD king, Merge Mansion. I have never seen such disrespect… the lore Merge Mansion (MM) has is so deep compared to LG.
I was really hoping Atrioc would react to these, seeing how they’ve even done live action ads now too.
YEs!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, thank you for featuring me and my Lily's Garden timeline in this! As it happens, I just released the latest update a few days ago - it's available on my channel now. Anyway, self-plug over, Atrioc, super cool video and an extremely entertaining watch!
You’ve spent a lot of time with these ads, what are your thoughts on the team behind these?
@@bAdorablePeach I truly have no clue what's going on in their heads. I've also tried contacting them before but they seem completely unreachable in any way, shape, or form, and at this point, I'm not entirely convinced that these ads don't just appear out of nowhere with no human attachment whatsoever
Lily's Garden the game movie when?
Going through a breakup rn and this video made me laugh for the first time in a few days. Thank you Big A and editors :)
The Fire Emblem mobile games making more than the main series is definitely true.
Especially when you have certain people *cough* Alpharad *cough* spending THOUSANDS on the game for skins
Loved the dancing lily's garden santa in the end, 10/10 thanks editor
Yeah
WHY DID YOU PRIVATE YOUR HITMAN HORSE
I can’t believe hustle castle wasn’t mentioned once. It has the most vile ads imaginable
At 14:04 it is insanely funny because top left the weather is ripped straight from breath of the wild so saying 4 yeafs for stolen assets is really funny
watching this while doing my daily challenges in AFK arena
Same lol, trash ads for an actually dope game
the apology ad is the equivalent of
"my biggest weakness is im such a perfectionist"
Some of these ads made me physically cringe so hard to a point where I had cramps. However, the Lily's Garden series was riveting
i spent about $1500 on top war, i can confirm the ads for it you will never find anything like it in the game
the funny part is that the game at 4:31 is a game called Kings of Avalon not Evony, so in reality Evony and their ad was false advertising and then they literally ripped a screenshot from another game and said its their own lmao
Big A should do an ad for his channel but filled with all the inside memes like Coffee Cow and Glizzy Hands
Should have featured that add with the guy losing to pirates and then shaping an island into a nuclear submarine with his bare hands
This outro is golden, please keep it for future videos. I just want no context twerking animated santa to confuse the hell out of new viewers.
Thanks for checking out the Lord's Mobile ad and the Lily's Garden ads I submitted to the discord! I recommend watching the game theory on the lore of Lily's Garden next.
WE NEED A PART TWO WITH MERGE MANSION! litterally it's a puzzle game ala Lillys Garden with a murderous grandma and they made an irl ad with Kathy Bates. That was fecking hilarious.
Also bitlife is actually a mobile game where the ads actually show the game, but also BitLife is nearly only one time purchases.
As a fire emblem fan, the Heroes game is actually decent quality and translates the original games into a mobile format fairly decently. Though I’m likely biased because they give my fav characters beach outfits lmao
it's a guilty pleasure, can definitely see how it's as predatory as any other gacha though
You are the “target audience”
you are not the just audience, you are THE targeted audience
Yeah I just hope they're still committing to the full budged Fire Emblem games. I mean the new warriors is awesome, but I'm starving for a mainline game. And we eventually need more characters for Heroes, so I'm pretty optimistic.
Just hope the leaks aren't true since Miss Colgate looks pretty awful.
@@schrabby4703 oh 100%
Oh my gosh thank you! These ads are getting waaaaay out of pocket, and I really needed someone to talk about it.
HOLY MOLY! YOU GOT HADES? HE'S THE KING OF THE UNDERWORLD IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY! HE'S A 5 STAR S RANK HERO
Loved the video Big A. But I am absolutely devastated Merge Mansion wasn’t in here. Truly one for the books.
You’re doing it wrong, leveling up is not the only way to increase combat power!
Hi there! I actually grew up playing Evony with my dad. It's the only time I've seen him be obsessed with a game, he'd play it so often that I wanted to do it too. So imagine my HUGE whiplash that the game I used to spend days on at a time was advertising on TikTok as if they were on of those dumb puzzle ads.
Evony is basically a city builder and defender with a huge focus on building your guild of other players. I hate those games nowadays but Evony stayed nostalgic lol.
23:20 I'm genuinely surprised more people aren't mentioning the drink names on the menu, "Blaine's Wet Dream" and "Holly's Little Blue Pill."
Mafia city not being here shows the Boss. LvL. 100 tactics of the game, so elusive, that’s how mafia works
I’ve never in my life wanted to skip an ad more than I did watching this video Jesus
I know he's ye ol' glarketer and all that, but I can't imagine actually hopping online looking for some content and not mentally blocking every single ad that gets in front of me. Like when he showed that puzzle game ads I recognized it, but I couldn't have told you what happens in 'em if you put a gun to my head. It doesn't even cross my mind to actually see what the ad is about, the second I know what it is my mind instantly dips and I look at something else. I guess that's why he's the expert.
14:07 has a god damn BREATH OF THE WILD weather indicator!!
Great job with those Santa edits at the end
What happened to new vid sadge
Watched the whole thing forwards and backwards, great work Big A your best one yet
14:12 right next to Atriocs cam is the weather meter stolen from BOTW they didn’t put 4 years in the game but they put stolen assets in it instead
I don't even know some of these lily's Garden ads, the roofie one for example,there must have been new ones since I last watched through the chronology
A roblox game recently got sponsored my illumination to promote the new minion movie, not Roblox, but a game on roblox.
I just find it interesting how roblox is getting big enough to were big companies sponsor teams of develepors (a lot of who are probably kids/teens)
If this outro doesnt stay as the official Marketing Monday outro I will riot
I saw an ad today and I immediately started having an unquenchable thirst for coffee, dangit GH (glizzy hands) you really got me addicted!
At 16:16 the copyrighted Joker also straight up steals a Shaco voiceline from League. I can hear that rat clown in my nightmares still.
25:48
Lily's face is like ._.
🤣🤣
Mobile games ads will forever remain in my heart as laughable trash and I always love to watch them as they're always bizarre I wish I could see what goes into their head while creating these
I wanna see a wwe ( or f) style show where all members of the bad ads VS the good ads fight, id pay good money from my minimum wage job to see that, Yes Atrioc!
I see the "Top War Game" ads all the time, and I think it shows an issue with how targeted ads work; I think I see them so often because I watch a lot of Grand Strategy content - which, of course, involve war. But if I know about all these other, far greater games, why would Top War Game be at all appealing to me? Especially since the ads look even worse than the actual gameplay.
It's kinda a shame. Mobile games *can* be great - just look at the Infinity Blade trilogy (before being removed from the App Store because it didn't make enough money to warrant continued updates, and then the lawsuit between Epic and Apple happened). Genuinely fun gameplay, a really interesting story (with a couple books by Brandon Sanderson), and one of my favourite soundtracks. (Including a song made for IB3 by Imagine Dragons, though my favourite part of the soundtrack is the battle theme of Ryth - which is clearly based on Duel of the Fates.)
Can't believe he just ignored the clusterfuck of the Evertale ads.
I played top war and it was good until the 2nd set of quests, lots of microtransactions and microtransactions with booba
Bro guardians of claudia litterally had the weather icon from breath os the wild☠
No mention of the lvl 100 mafia boss ads? Those are the best ones.
Soda city funk + santa with moves = best outro ever
After the filming of these ads,The Joker settled down in Northern Mississippi.
Keep up the Marketing Mondays Big A!!!!!!
14:10 THEY LITERALLY ripped a breath of the wild asset for the fuckinh weather HUD. IM CRYING
South Park did an episode about this before, the enemy being the Canadian minister of mobile gaming
I've seen that guardians of cloudia advertisement 5 times but different games. Same exact script but just different gameplay in the back and actors
Ngl the flying gorilla add did make me download it
I fear no man. But that.. thing, it’s scares me..
19:04 holy shit they made my name a code that is the greatest insult
I do think netflix is desperate enough to add keijo to the platform
The other thing about fake ads is that since the games are all free to play, the user can see the game isn’t like the ad before spending any money so the false advertising results in a loss of nothing from unhappy customers. Nobody’s going to do a class action lawsuit when they didn’t lose any money and only wasted 30 seconds of time. Scummy
As a 9 year old kid, my friend and I played evony religiously. I mean like way way too much. Over my 4 years playing I was in the top 10 on my server. The game back then I believe still exists in some form, but the devs kept making changes that made the grinding process to progress a lot of things almost entirely requiring purchases. It was a real-time city building game like clash of clans but more late 90s classic pc game style, train troops, upkeep troops, guilds and wars. The game was really good and fun, and truly sparked my love for small game communities; and set up my unending rage watching money ruin the game. It started getting extremely overrun by bots, but the devs didnt care cause the people running these bots were whales, spending 2k on average per bot. I knew a guy who had a whole 100 person alliance of only his own bots for farming and transporting resources to his main, filling the area all around himself so no one could reasonably attack. Oh how I wish to play the game again in a pure form. Makes absolute sense that they went on to do all the games and ads they do now.
The love child of Heath Ledger and Jarred Leto frightens me
the little zoom edit at 20:10 is hilarious thank you editor
20:10 editor having some fun. I respect it
Wish he would’ve seen Evertale. It’s literally a anime girl gacha game but every add (there are 100’s of them) paint the game as a horror Pokémon type game with incredibly cryptic advertisements.
20:10 the editing is amazing
16:07 they do have the rights to the Joker. It’s a legitimate collaboration with DC Comics.
Just wait till the CC sees the Lily's Garden game theory. Just his favorite combination, mobile game ads and good ole Matthew Patrick.
20:10 his mouth manages to form a shape similar to twitch emote
this is insane
17:29
Lmao I am rolling on the ground.
Atrioc watching ads to get videos before the ads, instead of us getting the ads before the video…thinking outside the box
The joy of Flying Gorilla is that it’s made by Pinbit Studios, which is one singular Japanese guy. His English is very poor and I think the ad was made by one of the guys on their discord. It’s a very broken game and I love it
20:13 I see what you did there
Super cell has always had brilliant advertising and you cannot deny it
dude i used to play evony online on the browser like 10+ years ago thats crazy
ive seen a lot of top war ads and i really want to play whatever is in the ad
30 minute marketing monday, thank you very much Big A :)
9:02 I actually played summoner's greed for a bit because their advertising didn't lie to me and memed about trash mobile game ads. It's an okay game.
19:48 Me as I'm playing Feh while listening to the video
17:00 Bro that’s just a phone case 💀
i remember fondly the first time falling for one of these ads and then the gameplay used in the ad not being in the game at-fucking-all
14:09 bruh that's part of the breath of the wild weather hud lol 💀
i remember forgetting to screenshot the joker ad and telling my friends about it. they just told me to take my meds and denied it’s existence
20:10
