Hahahah that is hilarious!

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Aw, I did it! Did you see that?!

Interesting ad. I'm guessing Koreans feel a bit the same away about how Asians are sometimes portrayed here.

 

[Crono]

I'm not entirely sure those aren't robots.

When they make an SSD that will get my wife to actually do chores, then I'll listen.

 

[RelaxTheMind]

Anna Faris could have played the girl part.

People laugh at it, but there are foreign stereotypes in our ads too.

Some of it unintentionally, but a lot of it for humorous effect.

I miss Chad and Ranjit. .

What they need to show is my wife dropping the f-bomb because her laptop is too slow or my last CEO whipping his across the room. Now that's the true American computer user.

Why not divorce and try again?

 

[UglyCasanova]

Geeze the female role in that is fairly degrading. She sounds like she sits at home all day hopped up on Valium, all she is capable of doing is chores and helping her kids with homework, and come time to install the SSD her first thought is "I can't do this".

 

[MontyAC]

Samsung needs a new ad agency.

 

[Jodell88]

That was painful to watch.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I kept waiting for the funny, then realized it wasn't a parody. Wow that was bad.

 

[kage69]

OK, that was just....sad. The lobotomy reference doesn't seem too far off really lol

After seeing that, I'm feeling an odd sense of satisfaction in having just picked a Plextor SSD for my boss, instead of a Samsung.

Also, Samsung's cloning software blows if you are moving from another SSD. I don't even think they give you a drive bracket. Lame.

I made my wife watch it real quick just because I wanted to see her reaction. She was just a little incensed, and made a comment about a Valium riddled hausfrau too.

you can buy a lot of ssds for the price of a divorce settlement

we are talking thousands of these babies

you could raid them all together

it would be incredible

so divorce is never worth it imho

think of the ssds

 

[Udgnim]

if they are marketing towards people clueless about computers, then it's pretty spot on

the faster joe schmo gets an idea about what a SSD is and does, the faster SSD costs will drop

Wow. That dude is a fucking idiot.

 

[Imp]

Ok... If these were non-English actors and their dialogue was dubbed in English, then that video would have been perfect.

 

[Exterous]

Aw, I did it! Did you see that?!

Well - at least they got the part where shes in the kitchen right.

 

[PottedMeat]

The ad was purportedly meant only for use as an in-house marketing tool to be shown at expos throughout Asia.

'goddamn, americans are stupid'

 

[AMD64Blondie]

That gave me a headache trying to watch it.
