i like the in-camera gimmick of the jamiroquai video, but the dude's face is way more into fisting than pompladour's.

but he's not doing anything unordinary with his face. you just don't like him because you think he's ugly?

This is from a bout 9000 post ago but...
Holy shit you can smoke earl grey in a cigarette? Is it tasty? What about Lady grey?
Or was that just a euphemism for "jazz tea"?

feeling better about the world now that we've managed to cover twee jamz, Jamiroquai, and tea all in one thread

I kind of like that Jamiroquai song/video
nothing cringeworthy about it

dunno if plax is being trolly or serious but i don't think anyone on this thread is partic concerned whether the pomples care about the backlash? i mean it's not like anyone is expecting them to change what they do based on this thread or w/e

Pomplamoose's original name was "The Beast with Two Backs"

Iago Galdston, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 23:55 (thirteen years ago) link

literally rendered into French, "pomp la moose" means "pumped the boy", fyi.

his face is proxy for his hat.

My sister is p. good friends w. nat bc they are like the same age and she thinks the whole thing is really cool, idk i think they made like a lot of money from the hyundai thing

they prolly made a lot of money for 2 amateurs, but nothing compared to what hyundai would've paid an ad agency to come up with the same thing

reminds me of when the majors were overjoyed at the ascent of grunge cuz it cost comparatively nothing to record those recs

Є|Э (Edward III), Thursday, 6 January 2011 00:42 (thirteen years ago) link

i can tell you that hyundai dropped about $50k to license a single crappy video from my company so who knows how much they paid these guys to do the work they did.

I haven't seen this commercial, so I never opened the thread. What is it about?

(I tried to post to the THIS IS WHERE WE SUM UP ILX CLUSTERFUCKS thread, but apparently that was locked.)

I think hyundai has their own inhouse ad agency but lower cost of production might explain why they had the scratch to run this thing 8 gazillion times
