8/28/2008 5:27:56 PM

they spend 200,000 for this ad

8/28/2008 5:29:47 PM

In some ways, we all go to NC State. In other ways, most people don't.

8/28/2008 5:33:00 PM

Nice take on the quasi angry "NC State is the shit, how do you not understand this" attitude

8/28/2008 6:08:34 PM

i wish ncsu would just give me a degree so i could leave...i think we both dont like each other anymore

Tiennenmen Square really does look nice in that video.

I think that video is proof they just gave up on main campus

8/28/2008 10:24:11 PM

some poor shmuck is gonna get on campus and go "where the fuck did all these bricks come from?!"

8/28/2008 10:25:21 PM

I know you're making a joke. But they actually did just give up on main campus.

Yea pretty much. And one of those places is on the side of the road.

Also, the first shot panning left to right across the MRC brickyard was solid. The whole 'autobahn' theme falls apart though when they reuse the same shot but pan right to left instead at a snail's pace.

also, the print ads are pretty awesome too

i am glad to see the people who make our ads have finally embraced contemporary graphic design

(i.e. have started making things on par with marko's ITD posters)

8/29/2008 12:59:21 AM

so which is it?

the autobahn of ideas or the autobahn of innovation?

couldn't it have been the highway of higher learning?


btw, the mortar boards are XXXL cause y'all motherfuckers got some fat heads

8/29/2008 1:00:13 AM

Hmm... as I look at those posters I am struck by how much they ripped off the Olympics adds.

But still cool. And much better than we've had before.

8/29/2008 1:02:04 AM

They should have just had a slideshow of [fail] pictures set to the Benny Hill theme.

9/15/2008 6:44:56 PM

i like the video

but his beard made me vomit

9/15/2008 6:47:57 PM

THIS THING CALLED NC STATE

IS A MOTHERFUCKING CLUSTERFUCK

THE ON-RAMP TO MOTHERFUCKING [FAIL]

9/15/2008 8:29:30 PM

i support edgy nc state ads. my two degrees from this school can only become more well known with added publicity.

It was a well done ad, but I would have thought they could have made one of the design students do it for their senior project.

9/15/2008 8:45:48 PM

am i the only one who thinks this ad is terrible??

i mean the guy looks like he's jacked up on methamphetamine and is ready to go kick his grandma's ass for a $20 bill. not to mention his greasy-looking hair and beard. who the fuck would hire this guy?

and the monologue. its so contrived. put upon.

NCSU is now the WWF-pre-game-shit-talk of the NCAA. which would be okay if it were sports-related... but this is supposed to be about academics.

and you wonder why UNC is always laughing at you

It was meant to be a cocky commercial about how we are becoming a world-class research institution attached to a degree mill. They had to use Mr. Greasy hair and the crappy monologue and the silly metaphors for innovation and the future and aids and win.

I thought it was a joke because you know there's never that many people on the plaza on top of that parking deck at any one time.

Also, saying autobahn instead of highway totally makes us more cultured and wordly and more academic gimmicky and smug. It's like totally what they want.

9/15/2008 11:13:46 PM

NCSU should have just hired Dennis Miller to do this ad.

9/15/2008 11:14:15 PM

Yeah, the dude they hired could've done a stand-in for him at a distance anyway. I thought the same thing when I saw the ad.

I imagine that $200k budget would inflate to be a $2,000,000 budget with him as the star.

[Edited on September 15, 2008 at 11:16 PM. Reason : They also could've shown our research facilities in the commercial. Everybody loves images of that.]

9/15/2008 11:16:19 PM

yeah this ad is stupid. where is the real part of campus?

9/15/2008 11:16:23 PM

fool, they used autobahn because its famous for having no speed limit , giving the impression that, like the autobahn, NCSU allows you to go as fast and far as you can.

9/15/2008 11:17:56 PM

eurotrash shit is not the best image for nc state.

9/15/2008 11:18:25 PM

I suppose the irony there is that there are more speed-limited areas of the Autobahn now than there were in the past. You can go fast in parts, but then you get held back a bit in others. LULZ

9/15/2008 11:21:30 PM

WHAT IS LOVE

NC STATE DON'T HURT ME

DON'T HURT ME
