I found this bad boy in the most viewed videos on youtube. Dear god, I could only watch it for 3 minutes before cringing and shutting it off. Is this supposed to be the place where the people of high school musical go to college or something XD? So, what does OT think? Any other bad/funny ads you guys want to share?

I'm pretty sure YT is blocked where I am, so I can't watch what you linked to. But as far as bad college commercials go, I can't stand those "Education Connection" ads... they make me want to bang my head against the wall sometimes.

It is so extensively cliched and chessy that it 'is' good. The ad works becuase it is funny, creative, original, and shows immense ingenuity on the part of the students. The ad is designed to allows prospective candidates to realise that Yale isn't standard, nor boring, but rather clever, innovative and fun.

Just like every other university says :P?

PS: I still thought it went too far with the cheese just like when the girl asks a question and EVERYBODY turns around and stares at her. I had to lol but then again I have a strange sense of humour at times XD

...Precisely...every other university says it; Yale sings it. Yale showed that to the candidate, in actually demonstrating those qualities. Actions speak louder than words.

EDIT: It's all part of the effect my friend; notice the fact that the dude at the start was akin to Obama, this is becuse he possesses all the necessary connotations of hope, aspiration, and opportunity. These people are smart, they know what they are doing.

You are really argumentative today :P A lot of thought might have gone into it but that doesn't change the fact that I disliked it and had to laugh a lot of times while watching it. Just like this advert is technically effective, I still dislike it.

I take offence to that charge; I'm argumentative every day. :) :P

I was expecting to see the education connection ad from the TC. It's annoying, yet kinda catchy...

Though mostly annoying...

Yeah, this was all my school ever did. (though, it was specifically for the students. It makes fun of the stereotypes surrounding each major. As a result, some jokes are inside jokes.)
