So who ARE that insufferable indie couple in the new Hyundai TV ads?

(i kid)

r u the dude from othello?

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

u the dude from othello?

Your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.

I knew a dog named Pamplemousse once.

a camel?

ONE THOUSAND

(you guys, seriously)

a camel is not a moose

good point

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

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

(literally translated from French to English, I should say)

Yeah, I just wanted Pomplamoose them to join ILX when I linked this thread in the youtube comments

Jesus I can't stop clicking on this thread and I even know why anymore.

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

his face is proxy for his hat.

fuckin' hipster!

tbh i am not that close w/ them and have only met them at like family things esp bc he is my mam's side of the family which is p big. lol i saw their single ladies video on a friend's fb before i heard anything about it from anyone in my family, my mam said he was in a jazz band or something idk. 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

xpost and all that facial hair, whatta bunch of outdoorsy posers

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

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.)

link 4 u jaymc: Clusterfuck Summary Corner

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

xp Haha, OK.

Don't want this to get lost.

what is this land

there's something kinda magical about how plax uses abbreviations about "p." and "idk" and "V"

can't quite put my finger on it, but it's cool

This thread is already up there with the Joanna Newsom one, and with luck/further revelations/random Googling by fans could possibly push on into DMBand territory.

This is the first time I've clicked on this thread. Why does it have 1,039 new answers?

1,039 people opening the thread for the first time and trying to find out what it's about

Were Gap the pioneers of insufferable indie Christmas ads or is there a long heritage I'm unaware of?

i loved all those gap ads. lou reed on a scooter heralded the coming tweemageddon though.

tbh I like the song too much to really care about the ppl in the commercial
