"But the fake news was from a *twitter verified* account." Good. Then those people were taught the sobering fact, that being verified on twitter, is not the same as being truthful of twitter.
In the profile for it it said right below the "promotional name" (I forget the name used) it said CallofDuty right below and anyone who had been following CallofDuty on Twitter knew it was promotional videos, at least a few hundred thousand saw right through it, around that time comments were flowing through almost every promotional video that were saying it was to promote a game and wasn't really a news report.

Truth be told, I expected this video to be filled with game companies doing dumb sh*t like pulling down their pants in front of a large crowd and although some of the entries in this video was just that, I was actually quite shocked to see some of these entries.

I have a personal grudge against guitar hero/rock band games (my highschool friends got kind of OCD with those freaking games and dealing with them was a nightmare). The fact that now I know that somebody sacrificed some plastic "guitars" to a volcano, regardless of their motivation, actually makes me really happy. Thanks.
I loved when EA's CEO or whatever told players they were stupid, didn't know what they wanted, and then asked them not to buy battlefield 5, and they didn't. It's not good or planned marketing by any means, but it sure had an effect.
You guys are really forgetting WatchDogs 2 advertising campaign? Maniacs stole a car, hijacked it, made it run through the city wrecking anything on it's way just to have it crash on a billboard! Those guys at Ubisoft went nuts!

I remember when Turok: Evolution was coming out they advertised that if you named your newborn child "Turok" they would send you $10,000 lol Also Falcon, questions if you don't mind; How do you find the time to play all these games in your videos? I mean obviously it's your job but with all the videos of the new mobile games, console games, PC games, etc. etc. that's a lot of time to spend! P.S. Huge fan. Love you guys.
Seriously? People do know it takes about $25 and a trip to your local court house to change your/your child's name right? For $10,000 I will name my kid whatever you want then be left with $9,975 for diapers once I change their first name.
Why i love Gameranx is they Begin their Top ten list in like 10 to 15 Seconds unlike others who talks about the same thing over n over for 1 straight minutes then beginning the list
I can't remember specific details, but there was a video showing how the plastic guitars in the volcano was made. Basically the volcano was CGI and they ended up just littering a bunch of guitar controllers on a mountain.
Because normal marketing doesnt work (people are immune/numb to it) and there is a ton of waking on eggshells in the industry. So you get a bunch of drug inspired, off the wall nonsense.
Because marketing generally hasn't got much of an actual art to it, and it's really just more of a random gamble, all about convincing others that you know what you're doing, rather than actually knowing what you're doing. There are a few sensible basics that'll make you competant, but not much of an actual way to be good or bad at it. As an example, I once walked past a poster that said something like "Advertizing works! You're reading this poster, aren't you?" When I noticed the fact that it was almost 10 years old, I thought: that'd be clever if I hadn't walked by this place multiple times a month since then without ever noticing it before. Additionally... clearly it hadn't sold the advertizing space, so if you think about it, it actually could only ever be an example of its own failure. But it sounds impressive when you're reading it. Personally if I see an old style advert where something just describes what it is and what it does, no slogans or attempts at comedy or other nonsense... that I can respect, and makes me want to buy something. But you hardly ever see that, these days. Everyone's about being crazy and wacky and mentally-tricky. That puts me right off, personally. So I tend to go into shops with a conscious notion of trying to buy brands I haven't heard of, since that compensates against that mental trickery. Nobody likes feeling like they're being manipulated. The least they can do is try to be perfunctory and straightforward about it. That's the only respectful way to do it, really. Everything else is just annoying and insulting. Especially those ones that begin with music that's clearly meant to put you in a calm mood, those are the worst. Yuck! Fucking creepy that is. I expect that down-to-earth, normal people don't get hired into jobs like that. It isn't the done thing. They want bullshitters.
The things I learned from this video: 1 - the marketing guys are all crazy. 2 - the UK gets a lot of insane promotions unleashed upon the unsuspecting.
I've lived in the UK for 39 years and I've never seen or heard of anyone being sent a card from the NHS saying they had a serious medical condition, they'd just send out a letter like you'd get in any other country.
I’ll go on a limb and say that any of these that involve someone thinking something was real was completely on that individual. In the Information Age there’s no reason to not look into something before getting up in arms, tweeting it out, or panicking.
as a student learning marketing i know 1 thing. There is nothing called dumb or bad comercial, there is comercial, and just like everyone of them, will success, in one way or another. If you just saw it, and it made you say: This is awful, then it made you say it's awful, you know what did this and where did you see it :D the same applies to the ones you liked. There are only a few comercials which are hard to remember, because they are made in a manner which is sooo monotous that you just skipped it in mind.
A few months ago For Honor did an open access test for the Marching Fire expansion. During which the devs were paying FORTNITE streamers and content creators to promote their game. Not a single For Honor content creator/streamer was paid and the game literally gained nothing from it. They never revealed how much they were paid but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was upwards of $10 000 EACH. And there were quite a few people who they paid
I always remember Acclaim for Turok Dinosaur Hunter on the N64. They held a contest where they'd pay a fair chunk of money to the first person to officially name their new born child "Turok" and leave it Turok for at least 2 years.
You put Fortnite at start......... But didnt include the stupid real life Durr Burger or Llamas spread around London? lol If your 9 years old dont reply, because your the only one that would think thats cool
The worst part of that Power Gig promotion was the lava was added in post (10:43) to make the volcano appear more active and what they essentially did was just drop plastic guitars onto the face of a mountain.
Verified accounts are accounts that just forwarded proof of their identity to Twitter, usually by sending them pics of your license. It is not hard to get the blue checkmark.
One thing about the speeding fines in the UK; yeah Acclaim might pay the fine, but the driver still gets their license endorsed with 3 to 6 points, or outright revoked if they were going fast enough. So anyone speeding just because they'd have their ticket paid would still have to be dumb as a rock.
Akklaim paying British speeding tickets is a bit of a red herring. In the uk you get charged with a driving offence, have to pay a fine and earn some points on your license, once you get 12 points you are banned from driving. Each speeding or dangerous driving charge can earn all 12 individually depending on how severely you were endangering yourself and others
All i remember falcon kept saying in this video was just "okay this one is just weeeeird, but dumb, but kinda smart, but dumb, but weird, its bad, but really cool"
This seems like a Twitter failure. If an account is verified, and the owner then changes the name of their account, it should automatically be de-verified until they go through the process of re-verifying.
I remember the ad with the Guitar Hero controllers being dumped into the volcano. I don't remember that it was advertising a game called Power Gig though. I don't remember that game at all.
Uhh. Nobody noticed the Callofduty underneath the name?
ok good i wasnt the only one

Shaderade,
I mean, stupidity and big spectacles do garner more attention, like the video said....
Most of these weren't really from "nowadays"
Because normal marketing doesnt work (people are immune/numb to it) and there is a ton of waking on eggshells in the industry. So you get a bunch of drug inspired, off the wall nonsense.
Because the nature of marketing necessitates that you always try to out-do everyone else.
Because marketing generally hasn't got much of an actual art to it, and it's really just more of a random gamble, all about convincing others that you know what you're doing, rather than actually knowing what you're doing.
