No joke, when I was little, I thought Godaddy was an ""adult"" site or something. Or like it was one of those late night ads that you'd occasionally see advertising their "steamy hotline".
That was pretty much the point - it's hard to get clicks to your website when you're selling potential website addresses in the early internet years, but porn? That got clicks. Even if the preteens who went to the site weren't going to actually buy a domain, it got the name in people's heads.
@@just_a_girl60 Same. My parents turned off, changed channels or muted their adds. Appalled by them. They honestly hated how they were portrayed and how they sexualized/objectified women. They used to ask how channels could allow such racey adds during normal hours.

When I was a kid my dad used to watch Nascar all the time. I remember watching it with him and seeing Danica Patrick race and feeling so inspired by her. Even if she didn't win the race, she was still the only woman on the track and as a little girl I thought that was so cool. Then I remember seeing these commercials with her in them and feeling so weird. I was too young to even know why I was so uncomfortable.
Ahw - that's kind of sad. Brittany Force holds NHRA's Top Fuel speed record of 338.48 mph, although you probably already know that, if you think female drivers are cool.
Its genuinely been so fucking surreal to see in real time this sort of shift. Like to watch GoDaddy go from basically trying to pretend they're a porn site with Danica Patrick nudes to trying desperately to appeal to Millenials and Gen Z with these wannabe inspiring ads with diversity and the idea of you can be whoever you wanna be, start your own business with us. Like, its so painfully transparent.
They shouldn’t have doubled down on the male heteronormativity. Having the adverts be sexual and the company name being sexual makes everyone think it’s porn lol. Also now in modern day, they have to live with their awkward company name
Both types of ads are horrible, but at least I understand the purpose of the old ones (Though, am I the only man who finds ads like these kinda offensive, because they treat us men like easily amused, sex-hungry simpletons?). They're sexist and disgusting, but at least there's a clear reason why. But those new ads? Whom are those generic pep-lines and generic images supposed to speak to / motivate?

@@LRM12o8 I know right? Our generation will never be able to own houses at reasonable rates so why do they think making websites will somehow allow us to achieve our dreams?

Yep, this is how GoDaddy first started their marketing campaign in the 2000’s, as far as I can remember. The whole point was that it seemed like it was advertising for a phone sex hotline or something, and then at the very end they drop the domain name registry stuff on you. It was certainly, uh, memorable at least?
its still so weird for me to this day seeing GoDaddy ads on UA-cam now thats like . 2020 is done, the future has begun. or whatever in this faux slam poetry like voice. when in my mind i just remember them as that sleezy babe sin bikinis company
It amuses me that they have a woman director talking, it feels very purposeful. "Our ads can't be degrading to women, look we have one in our film crew."
Especially since I don’t remember which one but I’m pretty sure it’s square space that has a nearly identical motto. Like GoDaddy is “build different” and I want to say squarespace’s is like “build it better” or something But all of them are so generic and cookie cutter I can’t honestly remember lmao

i remember being a huge Nascar fan as a kid and i still am. I never was the biggest Danica Patrick fan but some of those commercials came close to warping my young mind into a danica fan
Go daddy's commercials then and now give off the same energy as that John Mulaney bit where he talks about Bill Clinton then and now and is like, "what the hell is he trying to pull?" 😂
Somehow, till it got to the kissing I had blocked it from my memory. It wasn't till they started kissing (right when he blurred it out) and I heard the sounds that I instantly remembered and cringed hard. I think that was one time that anytime it was on I continually changed the channels. As a straight girl, I didn't like the ads, but wasn't fussing about them and changing the channel for thsi company's ads. But this one... ugh it just... why? I ALWAYS CHANGED THE CHANNEL when this specific add came on... And why did I have to remember it now? Well time to go drain out this short and memory again so I can forget about this cringey ad.🤣😂
Something that I think needs to be added is that having the "godaddy girls" be women like Danica Patrick (a race car driver) , Jillian Michaels (a famous fitness/wellness personality), etc was a HUGE deal at the time. These weren't models. These were famous girls that a lot of guys had crushes on but were never seen in sexy clothes. There was no such thing as an "influencer" back then and that played a big part of how they kept these ads feeling like something you had to see.
I remember when that commercial came on during the Superbowl once. It was so awkward for the family. Some of the men were like "oh yeah", some were quiet, some went "omg okay kids, don't look". It was like we were all in shock with this burlesque strip show commercial on TV while thousands of family and kids are watching. 😂
I remember these commercials from when I was a kid, and I still get upset whenever I get a GoDaddy ad even though they've changed their marketing strategies. I am very unlikely to ever use their service because of the negative associations I have with the brand. I wonder how big the lasting negative impact on their image will be in comparison to the success they had from the campaign at the time.
@@SamGlaze I mean they did sell that service with those commercials. At the end of the day it was all about grabbing attention and creating brand recognition and in regards to that it did exactly what they were hoping for and made them a boatload of money in the process.
I used to be really insecure about having rosacea, and I remember that Super Bowl ad with the blonde girl and the chubby dude unironically made me feel better about myself because his face looked like mine and he managed to kiss someone like THAT.

My dad absolutely refused to let me watch the Go Daddy commercials while I was growing up, and now that I'm older and have a daughter of my own I totally understand. Unfortunately I saw the kissing ad when I was watching the Super Bowl with my grandparents 😣
I was literally talking to my husband about the kissing ad a few days ago, because we saw one of the new GoDaddy ads. We're both still scarred forever. Thank you, Scott, for making it so I've been reminded of that fever dream commercial twice in one week 🥴
I think, after the infamous Super Bowl ad, they slowly toned it down till they dropped the dirty concept entirely. I honestly thought it was an... adult service until around that time, and afterward just thought it was just openly run by creeps.
It's kind of sad that people associate showing sexuality (or at least female sexuality) with being a "creep". If a company had buff handsome men in their commercials, would people say that they were creeps? I doubt it.
I remember those status updates about "i dont give blah blah permission to use my data!" It annoyed me so much, I would always be like "yes, you did. You did by signing up and uusing blah blah service. Its called a tos and you had to agree to it. If you want to not give facebook permission, delete your account"
Even the woman talking about the extended Commercials who's being tongue and cheek. Did no one else hear the emphasis on expands and elongate. That was such an double entendre.
Those girls gone wild commercials are just stained onto my frontal cortex. Specifically the one where there were in some zero gravity rocket ship or some shit, floating around spreading their legs. Little me was like.. god I can’t wait to grow up 😂
I was pretty young when these ads started coming out, probably around 10, and I remember thinking that it was an adult website. I never learned otherwise. Up until now, whenever I saw it advertised (even just the logo) it made me confused and uncomfortable. I didn’t understand why they would market it so heavily. It makes more sense now knowing that it is not in fact an adult website 😅
despite having the """""modern""""" godaddy ads shoved down my throat for like a month, ive only now realized it was for godaddy now that you pointed it out
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard that first godaddy commercial and just now did I realize it was a godaddy commercial when you pointed it out. Nice advertising guys
I can see being awkward to watch around your parents. But if you were a red blooded American male and were watching them with other red blooded American males or alone, the commercials were certainly better to watch than the other stuff you saw in between show segments.
Fun Fact: Vanessa Rousso who appears in the commercial at 6:13 would later be a houseguest on the reality show, Big Brother. She went down as one of the greatest players of all time to never win.
Which is weird because our TV is usually way more risqué than American TV. American tv is often quite puritanical, and swearing happens way less. Americans are often shocked at what we allow on TV. Except guns and violence, Americans are fine with that 😅
The ad campaign totally worked for brand recognition, they were absurd, but probably the biggest effect this had was that it brought "daddy" as a sexual term into the common lexicon.
Bruh I honest to God repressed however many dozens of times I watched the Candice Michelle godaddy commercial as a teenager. That was a Pavlovian response I've never felt before.

@@marcdimartino9118 because woman were being celebrated for being attractive and sexy, but at the same time shamed for having sex. They would call woman who were sexual "sluts" whores, disgusting etc.
I remember watching TV and that would come on. After the 2010s I never saw another commercial from them until last year. I thought GoDaddy died but I guess they hadn't.
The only Go Daddy commercials I've seen in the UK are normally dressed people pretending to work in a call centre, telling you the services that the company can offer. No suggestiveness 😆
I have a very fuzzy mental image of a woman on a motorcycle with burger grease dripping down onto her tits and honestly I kinda wish that memory STAYED locked away 🤣
I remember seeing one commercial on GoDaddy during a certain Super Bowl, and it dealt with a group of college aged men who were controlling Danica Patrick somehow, they made her take a shower and added another woman in it, then the plot twist occurred when Danica somehow controlled and pranked the guys back. Was a commercial etched in my memory haha
So when I was like three I saw that “I’ll show you enhanced” commercial, followed by “see the rest at our website.” Guess what I did. I have no idea what my 3-year-old mind was thinking.
Something about the way Scott does sponsor segments just meshes so cleanly with his videos that I still watch them when I could easily just tune out or skip them.
I remember being 13 and seeing these commercials, finally had the courage to google it to look at some ladies and was very disappointed to find out what it really was
they did something real similar with movies around this same time, they would advertise the "unrated" version of some crappy movie, like the american pie movies, pretending "unrated" was like "x rated" but it would just contain a couple extra minutes that wasn't in the cut sent to MPAA for rating
Why is something being sexy seen as weird? Yeah, the sexy women had nothing to do with the product, but geckos have nothing to do with GIECO either, but we don't criticize that.
6:45 I think that guy Is also the actor for one of the characters in the show called Community. He appeared in the episode about the Yam. 9:27 Yeah that guy.
I love how go daddy is pretending they didn't do any of this
I mean, I don't think I can blame them.

That "charming old man" is very rampant in Florida still 🙃 I work as a cashier I know 😂
I live in the bay area, they are unavoidable 😭
Crusade time.
@@IvoirePunk YUP, sadly true.
Especially in PCB 😭
im so sorry florida women
Oh no
Yeah, my glass of wine disappeared as quickly as yours did and I'm not surprised. Who TF kisses in a way that sounds like stirring cold mac & cheese?!
I was pretty young when these ads started coming out, probably around 10, and I remember thinking that it was an adult website. I never learned otherwise. Up until now, whenever I saw it advertised (even just the logo) it made me confused and uncomfortable. I didn’t understand why they would market it so heavily. It makes more sense now knowing that it is not in fact an adult website 😅
despite having the """""modern""""" godaddy ads shoved down my throat for like a month, ive only now realized it was for godaddy now that you pointed it out
Well they made like 4 billion dollars so.....
The subtle use of Todd from community as a nodd to the actor is rather impressive
I saw that too and my first thought was, “Hey, that’s Todd from community!” God, I miss community. #andamovie
Yep I wondered if it the clip was put there on purpose
@@multifandom7168 No I meant the ad, not the community clip. Honestly it was, yes, a stroke of genius.
Ikr
I always thought godaddy was a porn site my whole childhood. I was like "woah i didnt know you could advertise porn on cable tv"
You are actually blowing my mind that GoDaddy still makes ads. I only knew the old ads.
I cannot tell you how many times I've heard that first godaddy commercial and just now did I realize it was a godaddy commercial when you pointed it out. Nice advertising guys
I LOST IT WHEN SCOTT INSERTED HIMSELF INTO THE ROLEPLAY AD
I remember seeing one of the new GoDaddy commercials and being so confused because it’s so different from what they used to be.
Using the clip from community with the same actor from the commercial is such a great detail
I remember watching them as a teenager and thinking they were too much. There would have been more backlash, but social media barely existed.
I can see being awkward to watch around your parents. But if you were a red blooded American male and were watching them with other red blooded American males or alone, the commercials were certainly better to watch than the other stuff you saw in between show segments.
Fun Fact: Vanessa Rousso who appears in the commercial at 6:13 would later be a houseguest on the reality show, Big Brother. She went down as one of the greatest players of all time to never win.
Scott why did you have to unlock these memories I repressed so deep in my mind
There is no way any of those commercials would be allowed to air on UK tv! 😂
Dude for some reason I thought of you before watching the video, and then I scroll down the comments and you're here 🤯
Absolutely not during the daytime. This would have only been allowed to show after the 9pm watershed
Which is weird because our TV is usually way more risqué than American TV. American tv is often quite puritanical, and swearing happens way less. Americans are often shocked at what we allow on TV. Except guns and violence, Americans are fine with that 😅
@@leea8706 As an American it's pretty dumb. TV networks be like, "Violence is ok but nudity is where we cross the line."
Random Nerd most people don’t get boners from fake people getting fake shot, that’s why.
The ad campaign totally worked for brand recognition, they were absurd, but probably the biggest effect this had was that it brought "daddy" as a sexual term into the common lexicon.
Wait what!? I always assumed it was already sexual before then
No, that's always been a thing for some people.
Aye, it's always been a thing for some people. It just wasn't common enough that everyone from middle school onward knew about it.
Bruh I honest to God repressed however many dozens of times I watched the Candice Michelle godaddy commercial as a teenager. That was a Pavlovian response I've never felt before.
I love seeing Scott's marketing background serving him well
I've probably seen those new GoDaddy ads more than any fucking ad ever
I literally got one on this video
More than RAID: Shadow Legends?
@@thisisabcoates hundreds of times more
Speaking of Danica Patrick, did you know she appeared as a playable character in a Sonic racing game?
I thought i was the only person who remembered that, it looks like i'm not the only protagonist
Ah yes, Sonic and All stars racing transformed.loved that game
Why?
@@DrDolan2000 Because the game was her sponsor for the 2012 Nascar season.
@@connorbeith3232 hotwheels was part of it too, they made a car based off her car in the game
Bob Parsons now owns a golf club company called PXG-or Parsons Xtreme Golf. He is definitely one of those CEOs that needs everyone to know he’s the CEO
ONLY A TRUE KING MARKS THE SPONSOR IN THE VID TY SOO MUCH
the go daddy commercial with the cop dancing on the car were how i found out i liked girls 😭
HA, that’s class!
I remember these. It was hard being a teenage girl in the early 2000s. So confusing.
@@woodynorris8224 being a teenage girl in the 1860’s was hard
@@woodynorris8224 What?
this reply section brings me so much joy
Why was it confusing?
@@marcdimartino9118 because woman were being celebrated for being attractive and sexy, but at the same time shamed for having sex. They would call woman who were sexual "sluts" whores, disgusting etc.
If this doesn’t include the Carl’s Jr. commercials I’m going on strike
I got bad news
Well it was mentioned
The good news is that Carl's Jr rejected their old commercials and fired their lead ad guy when he refused to change. It's a whole lot better now.
Goddammit, I love that you included the clip from Community that had the same actor in it as the commercial!
I remember watching TV and that would come on. After the 2010s I never saw another commercial from them until last year. I thought GoDaddy died but I guess they hadn't.
The only Go Daddy commercials I've seen in the UK are normally dressed people pretending to work in a call centre, telling you the services that the company can offer. No suggestiveness 😆
GoDaddy and Carl's Jr/Hardees had the most sexual ads
It was awesome. Terrible products but loved the commercials as a kid
I have a very fuzzy mental image of a woman on a motorcycle with burger grease dripping down onto her tits and honestly I kinda wish that memory STAYED locked away 🤣
Heh. 69
FINALLY someone made a video about this, i saw their new ads and was like huh that’s not how i remember it
8:44 you cannot tell me that color scheme was a coincidence
I remember seeing one commercial on GoDaddy during a certain Super Bowl, and it dealt with a group of college aged men who were controlling Danica Patrick somehow, they made her take a shower and added another woman in it, then the plot twist occurred when Danica somehow controlled and pranked the guys back. Was a commercial etched in my memory haha
So when I was like three I saw that “I’ll show you enhanced” commercial, followed by “see the rest at our website.”
Guess what I did. I have no idea what my 3-year-old mind was thinking.
Wow this brought me back...my dad making me go to the other room during NASCAR commercials, because without a doubt you'd see Danica at every break...
You're so wholesome and nice, scott, not to mention your amazing comedy skills. UA-cam needs to make a double subscription feature for your channel
the fact that your reaction clip from community at 7:35 is the same actor in the commercial is hilarious to me
Something about the way Scott does sponsor segments just meshes so cleanly with his videos that I still watch them when I could easily just tune out or skip them.
Hey Scott just wanted to say thanks I had a pretty rough day the you uploaded and I immediately felt happier
Hope your day improves! :)
Hope the rest of your day is better!!
Hope your feeling good!
I remember being 13 and seeing these commercials, finally had the courage to google it to look at some ladies and was very disappointed to find out what it really was
Can't wait to see Cody Ko's take on this! 🤣
Has he been doing the same topics right after these come out?
@@connor5187 he's done a couple of similar reaction vids. Not typically right after though
hes reacted to how far is tattoo far, the moment of truth, and hot or not
@@BapGap Cody has shouted out Scott though in at least one of them
Modern mobile game ads must’ve taken a lot of inspiration from the old GoDaddy marketing campaign
Scott is like if Danny, kurtis, and drew were all mushed together into one and I am living for it
Or! ( here’s something normal ) he’s a fucking person
it was a really nice touch how you matched david neher in the godaddy ad with david neher in the community clip
Why in the world would you make me see that man's legs breaking like that... WHY SCOTT
I love that literally none of us knew what go daddy was but we have the commercials ingrained in our heads lol
they did something real similar with movies around this same time, they would advertise the "unrated" version of some crappy movie, like the american pie movies, pretending "unrated" was like "x rated" but it would just contain a couple extra minutes that wasn't in the cut sent to MPAA for rating
Holy hell. I think I needed a content warning for that foot ball player. I legit screamed out loud, that was horrifying. Poor man!
I saw the title of this video and my reaction was "Thank God someone is finally talking about how weird these are"
Why is something being sexy seen as weird? Yeah, the sexy women had nothing to do with the product, but geckos have nothing to do with GIECO either, but we don't criticize that.
I came across your channel maybe 2 months ago, and have binged a lot of your vids! You are hilarious 🤣
Same
Samesies
Why are you stealing my life
Isn’t he so good !! Why he does not have a mill is beyond me
I was literally thinking very recently about how I’ve heard no one say “au contraire” with an French accent. I was glad you did lmaooo 😂💀
Contraire mon frere
6:45 I think that guy Is also the actor for one of the characters in the show called Community. He appeared in the episode about the Yam.
9:27 Yeah that guy.
6:45 is that the actor who played Tod in community? Because if so it makes the clip he plays later funnier
Yah it is
So glad you included that clip of Todd from community after seeing him in that go daddy commercial. I’m a very proud fan indeed.
