Sponsored: Paul Blart Returns in New Fast and Furious Spoof Trailer

[FPLOON]

Wow... Is no one going to talk about the semi-not-funny parody trailer for Paul Blart 2? *sighs* Fine...

I did like the whole bit with the segue... Almost made it worth it to watch it again...

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

No one will get this reference.
Probably.

Also, I'd be more surprised by a sponsored post if they hadn't made a few before this one.
I'd also be more surprised if I cared someone paid them to write this.

I totally get the ref.


OT: You couldn't sell out harder than putting a Doors song on a 70's car commercial.

I saw the promo for it before Kingsman.
It was sickeningly unfunny.

Larry the Cable Guy levels of Po-faced contempt.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

At least they told us. In big, bold writing too!!
As for the actual thing they get paid to promote? I've made a mental note to avoid it as much as I can due to the video being awful, and me having no interest in it at all.
I'm also a very bitter and angry person, but hey.

I dont mind sponsored stuff as long as its relevant and interesting, and it does seem to be the growing standard these days. I just wish Escapist had't opted for it, so many little changes lately around here that are slowly dissuading me from using the site.

 

[An Ceannaire]

i don't mind (marked) sponsored content. But i do feel that The Escapist is a bit in financial trouble. Also the going away of Moviebob and Jim hurt the content to a non minor degree.

Moviebob leaving was their own fault though.

I used to come here 5 days a week, now I only regularly visit on Wednesdays.

Thanks for the clarification. Is the series any good?

Yeah, very. Well worth a watch.

C'mon, guys, this isn't the first time there has been sponsored news.

What I'm surprised by is that the first two movies were enough of a success to warrant a third...

There.... there was more than one movie?

Paul Blart definitely feels like one of those characters the creators still cry over, hoping, dreaming, that someday he'll breakout.

Now that reference I get.

OT: Paul Blart? Really? Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel...

I became a Pub Club member to prevent getting ads, and support The Escapist.
But when the news items themselves become ads, something is very very wrong.

 

[Rot_At_The_Root]

Seriously Escapist? We're doing this now? Poor Escapist, very poor.

On topic: piss poor trailer for a piss poor movie.

 

[Imper1um]

If this is going to be a thing...can we please filter this out if we are a Pub Club member?

 

[TwistedEllipses]

I appreciate the honesty, but have things got so bad that you need to advertise Paul Blart: Mall Cop: 2: Electric Boogaloo?
