Veiled statement casually accusing a TV Network of plagiarism while at the same time expressing flattery.
Here’s an ad for HBO that blatantly rips off the joke of BriTANick’s brilliant Academy Award Winning Movie sketch.
I’m sure the theft wasn’t malicious, but people who create ads do this ALL THE FUCKING TIME. (Excuse my language.) At some level, they just because something is on the Internet that 1.) nobody’s seen it and 2.) they can use the idea as their own without any repercussions. I’m happy that the comments on this video say differently.
This is just annoying. I too don’t think it’s malicious, but this happens so often with commercials that I have to think it is done knowingly and with very little care about who made the original piece of content. Come on, advertisers!
This also urks me. You know what wouldn’t though? If HBO HIRED BriTANick to make these commercials. 1) You’d save money; 2) you’d be funding real creativity.
Wow. Way to go HBO! You fucked up! That’s really unfortunate. The worthwhile folks know BriTANick beat them to the punch and did a better job anyhow.
