• More Hub Commercials Appear

    by

    Now, I know what you're going to say:

    Cereal, these are just sections of the show's songs with the Hub logo tossed in at the end!

    Well, yeah. It is. I know we're all spoiled by the fabulous iPony commercial that was released yesterday- myself included, of course. I must have watched that thing a million times just giggling my flank off because I have nothing better to do but procrastinate with ponies, but what you have to realize is that not every commercial can be an Equestria Girls or an iPony. Sometimes you need normal commercials, too. Small, easy to make ones that don't take a million years and billions of dollars to construct like the last two must have, spectacular as they may be to behold.

    I know you're not convinced. It's okay. It's a fun montage to listen to, at any rate. And, really, isn't that all that matters?

    You can find it here, on Vimeo.

      Seeing the quality of these ads really makes me want a DVD/Blu-Ray release so we can finally have 1080p episodes without any odd coloring or watermarks.

      Benny Hill, Winter Wrap Up and Art of the dress.

      Yep, definitely a good presentation for the show

      I find it interesting that, for somepony whose tail is poking onto the screen at the ends of all of them, the rest of Rainbow Dash gets so little screen time.

      I actually rather enjoyed this. Though pretty much ever pony commercial from the HUB makes me love this show even more regardless. Frick, the HUB made me able to enjoy a Katy Perry song, and I thought hell froze over.

      That said, the HUB should contact Eurobeat Brony and use his tunes for some of these promos. He could get royalties, and they'd get fans that would never stop watching, ever.

      Aside from two small things (the fact that Winter Wrap-Up, my favorite song, seems to be the shortest commercial here, and CMC's theme, my second favorite, is completely absent) this is really awesome and I'm glad they're doing even more to advertise the show. I mean, what better way to show it to people that don't yet know what it's all about, than showcase some of the really incredible music it has?

      They're promoting the musical element of the show, and I think that's a good sign. That set of promos is basically a Danial Ingram love-fest, and that's sure to mean much attention will be paid to the quality of the songs in season 2. A good sign indeed.

      Commercials that represent the show well, with snippets of the catchy tunes we all like, and enjoy. :P

      On an unrelated note: Did you guys notice that Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash are the unofficial mascots of the show? RD's tail at the end of the commercial (shown in that video up in that post), and Pinkie Pie's singing for the Equestria Girls promo, and the Hub Summer promo would explain that.

      These may not be iPony, but they're still fantastic.

      Aren't most trailers just clips from the show? These, these haven't done anything wrong, and they chose some of the best clips to use, like my favorite stanza from Art of the Dress.

      Remember how the leaked Winter Wrap Up video converted so many people into bronies? This is like that, but intentional. Like relias said, what better way to advertise than to show off the awesome music (and animation)?

      After seeing the first one, I only now realize that all their singing voice actors are singing when their respective pony appears on the screen... It blew my mind how I could have missed this before...

      I approve wholeheartedly of the rainbow tail at the end (and not in that way, you perverts).

      On a semi-related note: is anyone else somewhat intrigued by the "Dan Vs." show this guy has done trailers for as well? Because I didn't even know The Hub had shows aimed so specifically at older audiences like that.

      @relias

      Unless they've made a non-horrible version of the CMC theme, it occurs to me that that might not be the best way to advertise the show.

      @DavidReinold

      You know, that might not be as far-fetched as you'd think. The guy's got quotes on his Bandcamp account from Daniel Ingram himself, so he's definitely been noticed.

      I suppose they're well selected clips. I mean, it's pretty much just good parts from the show with logos put on either end.

      Not bad, those special ads take time so you need a bit of quick filler. And the songs got alot of people into the show, I guess its a good place to start.

      So it is not the most original amazingly spectacular commercial ever, but anything that promotes MLP is great in my book.

    44. JRJuly 10, 2011 at 8:49 AM

      I like them. If I were coming in cold having never seen an episode I would be thinking "Holy crap, any show that has this music, WHY AM I NOT WATCHING IT?!

      A very similar thing happened when I first saw the PMV "Nothing suits me like a suit." I had only vaguely heard of the show "How I met your mother" before that, but learning that the song originated on that show led me to conclude that I needed to check it out, because the song was awesome and any show that featured it had to be worth watching.

      I, for one, will stop fast-forwarding the commercial to listen to ponies sing. Especially Fluttershy.
