2009 Mariners Commercials

PrintThe new Mariners commercials are up. On first viewing, this seems like an off year. There's no real standout one. Maybe the Felix one? I guess that's pretty good. And it's always fun to watch Ichiro hit. But I'm kinda disappointed about the RRS one. Such a lame/easy joke. And I'm sad there's no Beltre commercial this year.
Or maybe I'm totally wrong. Are my expectations just too high?

And I just saw the thread about them airing on FSN last night.
I still think this thread would be good for everyone who hasn’t seen them to discuss here, but if not, a mod should just delete this.

I agree, there's no real standout.
I chuckled a bit at all of them, but I didn’t vote because I couldn’t pick any one over the other. They were all ‘meh’.
I'm more like I am now than I've ever been.
I thought the Secret was great
Ichiro hitting and 24/7 were not funny in my opinion.
Felix pitching was good, and I found the RRS one amusing even though the joke was bad.
The Secret was awful. I laughed out loud at the terribleness.
Edgar’s never going to top “I took my geoduck to Puyallup.”
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
Enjoyed most of them
Except that the RRS one is properly weak. There’s a whle host of better pun opportunity than that. Or at least, if you’re going to run with it, don’t explain the joke you’re making.
They’re certainly not bad, overall. Just nothing that’s… well… it’s not Fungo.
Not bad, not particularly memorable.
At least none of them irritate me, which is pretty important considering how often we’re going to be seeing them.
No Erik, No Beltre. Not a coincidence I think. Wish that had done something with Niehaus.
They're alright.
I like the Ichiro commercial the most because the joke came out of nowhere and caused me to laugh quite a bit.
24/7 was the weakest.
Felix made me chuckle
I like watching Ichiro hit, but overall that one was kinda so so. Enjoyed hearing RRS talk but the only way that joke could’ve been worse is if it had been about New Zealand.
The Edgar and Buhner ad was pretty spot on.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
I liked that episode.
Why would I watch Transformers when I can play with them at my house?

Pretty boring.
They all gave me a small chuckle, but thats all. I actually wish they had a Griffey commercial or maybe throw him in with Bone and Edgar.
Like the Felix one and the Buhner/Edgar one.
The RRS one sucked. And the Ichiro one was disappointing. The rest, meh.
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
"Dear Dennis,
“I’m sorry I struck you out. I’m sure your family loves you, so keep your chin up”
Y’all are nuts. That’s hilarious

I did like that one. The "family loves you" line
and the pan to the dugout full of flowers was good.

Yeah, I was blown away.
I imagine they were done before Griffey was around to film them, though. Maybe there will be one later.
I can't imagine they won't have a Griffey commercial eventually
Like Teej was saying, maybe he wasn’t part of the team yet by the time they were done with these.
Honestly I've still only half assimilated the Griffey is on the team
It’s like forgetting that the Angels play in LA, or the Mariners no longer play in the Kingdome, it’s really strange.
It looks like they just wanted to stop at 5 ads because of the "100th ad" thing.
They did the obligatory Ichiro ad, Wakamatsu ad, and Felix ad, then the 100th one, and they just had one more left to get really creative on and they settled on RRS.
I’m a little surprised they didn’t do more, nor did they try to do an ensemble ad a-la “Fungo” last year.

I actually wanted "The Secret" to be the Moose
or they could have busted out the “Lenny the Latte” costume again.

The "secret" should have been that the tuba guy did all the commercials and just ended the run there.
Aww.. too soon?

This worked better in my minds original draft
Upon further reading I will be banned for a poor excuse of a “TWSS” and for that I deeply and profusely apologize
Same
I was sure that it was going to be the moose.

I'm about to add monkeys to my list of things that are no longer funny because of overuse.
The list also includes:
White people rapping about everyday white-guy things
Midgets
Fat comedians making fat jokes
Getting kicked in the nuts
This list is not exhaustive, just a few examples.
What is that picture from?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Never heard of it.
Might explain why I didn’t recognize the picture.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
You should watch it.
It’s not the best movie ever made, but it’s plenty funny and is pretty scathing in its satire.

Who's in it?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Luke Wilson, Mya Rudolph, and an awesome Terry Crews.

Could be interesting....
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Because it offended the studio and they tried to bury it.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
It's a Mike Judge film?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I would say that Fox loves Mike Judge like he was their own child
considering how many years King of the Hill was on.

That's what she said is still potentially hilarious if used correctly.

These days, I just see too many opportunities to use it.
To the point where it is starting to annoy me. I can’t help associating certain words with the quote and I have to censor myself from saying it at times.
.
Felix one was excellent
I felt the others were pretty bad. Mariner commercials have been awful for a while now though, so whatever. I’m glad Felix has another good one. And they could have done so much more with RRS. His accent is awesome and saves that commercial from being a disaster.
Hey, atleast they weren't as bad as the 2005 ones.
Now those were plain terrible. At least these ones were alright.
I hit singles in mine. All the time.

Yes you do Ichiro, yes you do...

Oops...

Why would it be a dig at us?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I do, on second viewing, really like hearing Edgar say "Best one yet, Sprinkles!"
but the Felix commercial is the only other one I like.
BVASEKETBALL FUCLSED OVER UW - Robert
Felix and the Buhner / Martinez ones are good.
But this isn’t the best they’ve done.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I like them all
I like the Felix one the best. The only way it could have been better would have been to substitute a rangers hitter with that rockies hitter.
I thought the Felix one was quality
But the rest were pretty sub-par.
Not overly impressed.
But not overly disappointed, like the “What A Show” series. Those were the floor.
Bahahaha, I liked the Felix one a lot, actually.
I like this year’s slogan, too. “A new day, a new way.”

A new day, a new way
Hey! It’s Junior! It’s Edgar! It’s Buhner!
I like the slogan, and I like the ads – they just don’t belong in the same year.
Nice Guys Finish Third - Hopelessly lost, but makin' good time.
After this commercial break, MLB Network is doing a feature on the history of the M's ads.
Everyone go!
What cable service do you have
Time Warner Cable still isn’t offering MLB Network standard, at least on the LA-area packages

oh my GOD the Ichiro one was hilarious
That made my day.

I thought they were fine
I enjoyed Ichiro and Felix, the RRS spot was fine because it featured RRS, the Wakamatsu one reminded me of a late-90’s Yankees ad that featured Tino Martinez on a couch, and while I didn’t like the Buhner/Edgar ad, I was happy that they didn’t reveal the Moose to have been writing the commercials. That would have upset me.
I'd like to see a Wizard of Oz bit, reveal the Moose as the wizard behind the curtain.
You could really run with the Wizard of Oz, the movie is probably trademarked all to hell though.
