They are both so fucking good.
Also, these people are clearly problem gamblers! They wonder don’t know how they “can live without” Snoqualmie Casino. They’re convinced that they are guaranteed to win. They’re there like every night! These people need help, not songs of praise!
BAD. SO FUCKING BAD.

Aren't there at least 3? Or just the insipid 80s pop and the nu-metal? I think there's more of a ballady one too...
Or maybe they’re just multiplying in my head. There’s no Tejano version, right?
There are a few of them, but I'm thinking specifically of the 80s pop one

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on this; you helm a mighty, well-rounded ship here.
Wonder what the nu-metal band thought about doing a take on ‘we come again?’
See, the worst part is that it doesn't sound like nu-metal to me.
It sounds like a cynical, ad-executive take on early 90s pop-grunge. I really, really hope the Lemons weren’t desperate enough for money to-no, no. They wouldn’t.
by Aaron Campeau on May 21, 2010 9:33 AM PDT up reply actions
I think Nabil's doing fine with Sonic Boom, so I doubt it.
I don’t hear as much of the pop-grunge, but I can see where you’re going with it. Either way, I bet it’s not what the band thought they’d be doing when they started playing along to Metallica songs as kids.
I say we stab the first person to not answer Fuck you Snoqualmie Casino
Because clearly that person should not be allowed to reproduce and further dilute our gene pool.
In this particular case there is no excuse for anything other than total groupthink

I really enjoy being in the
“I’m the only guy I know that’s cool enough to be into (indie band)” crowd. Such a cool crowd.
Close - Serenity (the Firefly movie)
it seemed a perfectly valid follow-up after the recent Voclano and board-game discussions validated the general geek-cred around here.
Firefly’s frustrating lack of (commercial) success and early termination also presents a nice little parallel to the M’s season.
There's a strong Whedonite contingent on LL.
Sometimes I feel like I’m in a cult, but that’s okay because Whedon is amazing.
They don't play them on the radio, so there's that.
Unfortunately there are the Schick Shadel ads. The background music for the Super Supplements ads in 2002-3 is easily the worst of any radio ad I’ve ever heard
Weren't the SS commercials the same two notes repeated over and over?
DEEDLE EEDLE DEEDLE EEDLE DEEDLE EEDLE EEEEEEEE…..
I almost ripped the AM radio out of my Toyota and threw it out the window
Several times during the course of those seasons, because of those commercials.
And the late night replay of the games, it was on constantly.
If the Snoqualmie Casino ads are anything like that then I’m completely sympathetic with burning them down.
I wouold like to personally apologize for those

Hope you mean the Shadel ads, because if you wrote the jingle for S.S. there's gonna be consequences

I just can't wait for the Banner Bank commercial
featuring the guy they refused to give a loan to because of his gambling debts, which were exponentially greater because of his drinking problem, which was catered to at Boundary Bay Brewing, which led him to go to Snoqualmie for “just one more hand…this one will get me back to zero!”

The thing about the Snoqualmie commercial
I can’t believe I’m saying it, but it makes the commercial for the Tulalip sound good. Keep in mind that the Tulalip song goes like this: “Let’s have fun, fun, fun at the number one place for fun.” I think that song was written by a retarded 3 year old.
I like it because I like to call LL the number one place for pun
by OlSalty on May 21, 2010 9:50 AM PDT up reply actions 6 recs
Fun fun fun at the number one place for fun is the most amazing lyric ever.
And I’ll be damned if anyone says otherwise.
Somehow I have not noticed Snoqualmies commercials, I just zone out during the breaks. But I love Casino commercials in general… because I have so rarely been to a casino and smiled, laughed with friends, or had fun. Or seen very many other white people.
by Kenneth Arthur on May 21, 2010 10:12 AM PDT up reply actions
I don't think I've ever seen it,
but assuming it’s the same as every other casino commercial ever, it’s incredibly depressing.
Artists who should try their hand at casino jingles because I'd love to hear their take on this sort of fluff
Nick Cave
Bruce Springsteen
Michael Stipe
Robert Pollard
M. Ward
Lemmy
I would go to a casino with a Lemmy jingle.
The Ace of Spades would fit rather easily into a blackjack scenario, so there’s that. And Lemmy is busy appearing in pretty much everything anyway; he may have already done this in California.
Yes, I'd be more likely to go to a casino with a Bob jingle, but that's 100000x less likely to happen.
“Uh, Robert, you don’t mention the name of the casino in this jingle. The lyrics I can make out are ‘Wildly titrate the Vizier’s facemask’ and I’m not sure if people are going to connect that with our new casino and lounge’s fabulous array of table games.”
The slogan should be:
Taking our land back one slot pull at a time!
I think when people are being funny, they are actually being serious and when people are being serious, it's actually really funny.
May be implied within the phrase
“Fuck you Snoqualmie Casino”.
These commercials make my junk hurt worse than Rob Johnson's
My girlfriend (not much of a baseball fan) knows two things about the M’s 2010 season: 1. There were high expectations going into the season, and things haven’t worked out well so far. and 2. They have the shittiest commercials on television.
I don’t know how many times this year I’ve witnessed an inning ending double play, a missed squeeze bunt, or a rally killing K only to have this commercial come on. “Fuck you Mariners and Fuck you Snoqualmie Casino I’m going to bed.” Perfect poll answer.
The Great Wolf Lodge commercials: better or worse?
I’d like to say that the Great Wolf Lodge ones are at least trying to be somewhat terrible while the Snoqualmie ones aren’t.
The absolute best part is the high drama scene

I really like where this is going.
I need to see this commercial.
by Kenneth Arthur on May 21, 2010 10:17 AM PDT up reply actions
Kinda like WOW! THAT'S A LOW PRICE!
It’s probably the worst piece of advertising I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen it at least 200 times, and I don’t even remember which office-supply store it is for.
That's the one, it's Staples
God fuck that commercial, they just blatantly jack up the volume and have a couple guys shout, fuck them.
I scramble for the mute button whenever I hear the first "WOW! THAT'S A LOW PRICE!"
And for some reason they think it is catchy because they have already made a couple different versions of the commercial.
I was hoping that he would pick up Mr Pickles and throw him across the room into a wall to dislodge the wire
*i love cats and was not hoping this
The Staples commercial where they just shout for no reason also makes me want to kill someone
Especially because it is much louder than the average volume the game is at.
I thought annoying post-ironic smirky humor was dying or dead
Guess I was wrong. But the guys in the commercial probably LOOOOOOOOOVE David Spade’s unique take on things like airplane food and unattractive women.
Hey, that new movie coming out has him in it with Adam Sandler and friends.

He did a guest spot in the booth during a game in Toronto in 2002.
The Mariners were well ahead in the division and comfortably ahead in the game. He made an ass of himself, annoyed everyone in the booth, Rizzs basically had to shove him out the door after two minutes, the Mariners blew the lead, lost the division and it was all downhill from there.

I think it was 2003. He was promoting that Dickie Roberts movie.
I remember Martin Mull was in the broadcast booth once, don’t remember what it was for though. All I remember about it was thinking “Hey, it’s that guy from Clue!”

I love the Canadian Enterprise ad, where it's the exact same thing, only everyone's white.
It’s like using the same commercial with the same dialogue with the same actors would’ve thrown Canadian viewers (“IS THIS AN AD FOR CARJACKING?”).
Is that why the black guy is the whitest guy ever maybe?

Yeah I did a 5 month stint in Security when I first started at the current place I'm working at
because I was waiting for an Observer position to come open and it was terrible. Security is the worst department to work in the casino industry because you are basically everyone’s(employees and guests) bitch.
You're dead to me.
I can honestly say that anyone that does surveillance for a long time is a special kind of person.

Yep. I've always said it takes a certain kind of madness(and a certain kind of eye) to be able to be an Observer.
Sitting in a completely dark room, lit only by the monitors that basically surround you. Staring at dozens of images at once, while at the same time somehow focusing on individual things. Watching hundreds of people, but yet being totally isolated. Communicating with 75% of the employees all the time everyday, yet being forced to be clandestine to all.
I’ve been doing it for 6 years now and you’re right, it’s like nothing else in the world.

One of the top managers at Silver Dollar was in the TV commercials, and just a year or two ago he was the main character on Intervention for heroin addiction.

Every commercial on FSNW is terrible
I live in the Bay Area and when Comcast took over Fox Sports Bay Area, everything about the channel improved, especially the commercials. Gone was the corny local shit replaced by high production shit that felt professional. I have a feeling if that happened to us, we’d still be stuck with this piece of shit commercial.

Maybe I'm on my own here, but...
Living in Florida I never saw, or at least remember seeing, commercials for casinos in the area. A Hard Rock Casino opened up my junior year of high school and while I heard radio ads for it, I don’t recall seeing a TV spot for it. Maybe this is just something else up here that happens in the PacNW that doesn’t in other places of the country.
Not a lot of casions in Florida? How could that be???

Hard Rock casino is owned by the Seminoles, who have a few others as well.
Just think the laws were different in Flo., as when I was in high school here there were no Indian casinos to speak of.
I know that it's owned by the Seminole tribe(s), as are most of them down there
But the different laws on how they’re regulated allows for advertising on TV here.
710 has several really annoying ads they loop seemingly every break
-That Scruff McGruff one
-Safelite Auto Glass
-The smug one with the small business owner who leaves his presentation in the cab
-Anything with the Schucks O’Reilley jingle
-Muckleshoot commercials with “All Star” by Smashmouth
I know I’m missing a few, but I have no problem boycotting any company, product, service or charity with annoying commercials.

Either way though, as long as the bills are paid I'm sure 710 could care less how annoying they are
However, the ads are doing their job in getting people to remember what they’re for, whether it’s for the good of bad is different though
I hate Snoqualmie commercials but at least it isn't one of those super depressing commercials reminding me of my potential future
Such as commercials for ED or overactive prostates.

The yellow dress…..
It annoys the hell out of me
The guy looks like he’s busy working on his new album “Station to Station”
and he just made an embarassing comment about how “Britain could benefit from a facist leader”
and he has a nasty cocaine problem
and his new single “Golden Years” is selling pretty well so far.
and he’s reading a lot of Alastair Crowley lately and it’s kinda fucking with his head.
