Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2025, Part 2

[MisterMarcus]

Do TV ad writers deliberately go out of their way to make the jokes in their ads unfunny? There must be some kind of science behind it. There's noway anyone genuinely thought that Jono Brown ad script was actually amusing.

The battery one?

Aren't they SUPPOSED to be lame jokes, that's the point?

 

[patience]

What a poohouse final.

 

[00VicWard001]

I keep tabs on the Hawks and always thought they'd make a strong run.

like I said in the other post, other we pumped Adelaide in Sth Australia I didn't really think they were quite up there with Brisbane, Collingwood, Hawthorn..

There’s no way that Adelaide ever looked like they deserved to be minor premiers.

My wife is a multi award winning advertising campaign writer from the 80's and 90's and I can tell you we cringe all day long. Amateur shit.

 

[Baudolino]

Name one modern day Geelong flag without a "home" final against an MCG tenant. This is how we do it.

Of course. But that doesn't mean it's not BS.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

Deliberate lol

 

[Munich]

Storm's only leading by 2 points

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Up to Cats fans to show up, it’s still our home final, and we do have more members than them.

Never thought I would ever read that stat



Last week was the loudest Geelong crowd I’ve heard!

 

[Frappe]

Has the minor premier ever been bundled out in straight sets before?

1980

 

[Baudolino]

The battery one?

Yes I know but the intentional lameness is supposed to be funny. Hence my point.

 

[catstorm]

Honestly don’t want to here shit from interstate fans anymore.

They are looking to go 0-4 in home finals.

Only team that’s won a home final so far is us.

 

[Lunchtime]

1980

Since 1980...only 1:

North Melbourne - 1983

Adelaide looking like they'll be the second team since 1980.

 

[Mr Meow]

Of course. But that doesn't mean it's not BS.

We are a very, very good MCG side these days. We owe Hawthorn in terms of knockout finals. Bring it on.

 

[supahoops]

Our current side doesn't hasn't have any of those memories though.

Thankfully. Hardest the crows have worked since the H&A season was getting Rankine back for r2 2026. Hopefully Hawks won’t know what’s hit em next week.

 

[Pollywaffle]

Crows are massive pretenders.

 

[Gunf]

2 of the supposed big 4 lost members

Did your jaws drop over the recent Google Lens ad? Still gobsmacked that the AFLW would give their approval to a 'stalking is great fun' ad.

 

[joe444]

A Crows win would be hilarious

but they look cooked.

 

[Cursed Cat]

Storm's only leading by 2 points

they've got some big outs ... I should be watching that instead

 

[Munich]

C'mon Adelaide you hacks

Does she have a theory as to why all modern "comedic" ads are so consistently cringe and unfunny? It's bizarre how it's a universal truism that applies to all ads. I genuinely don't get it. These are professional writers who presumably run their work past focus groups and have a logic behind why they choose certain lines over others. The advertising firms could easily hire professional comedians if they wanted. Yet the ads are never remotely amusing. I don't get it.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

So....who gets the job on Gunston next week.

O'Connor?

Surely not.
O’Connor will play on a small.

 

[winty]

Storm's only leading by 2 points

6 now.

 

[Stokey]

Surely we have both of these two covered.

Pretty poor final.
