Dr Pepper "Be A Pepper" Flash Mob at NYSE

[greensen]

I Guess this IS the worst that can happen.

[xCupcakeCarebear]

Hell I want to be a pepper if I can do that all day and get payed.

[tawdry21]

Flashmobs have nothing to do with commercialism, it is hardly a flashmob when you pay a bunch of people to go out and sing a song for a commercial. Lame commercial.

[spchagood256]

and DOW and NASDAQ dropped 200 points that day.....

[MegaKamandi]

Love it ! David Naughton voice has not chaged he is the Dr Pepper guy .from 1977-81 he did the original commercials!

[TVWriterGuy]

ROFL... LOVE IT. Go, David Naughton.

[anthonydorazio]

aaaaand the markets went down 100 points in that time.

[MooPotPie]

The original from '77 has a nice swing to it. This is painfully square and even gets the lyrics wrong. ""Brutal" is putting it nicely!

[neheah]

I still love Dr. Pepper, but this was horrible!! But I'm not ashamed, I didn't dance it. Dr.Pepper RULES! LOL

[MondoBeno]

Are they trying to advertise the product? It would've been funnier if they used a song about money.

[yoursaxman]

pointless, horribly staged event. worst "flash mob" i've ever seen. bad choreography, out of sync singing and it all comes off worse than "Up With People" (if THAT'S even possible).

Now- if they chose "Anarchy In The UK", "Helter Skelter", "Folsom Prison Blues" or "Hounddog", they'd have something here!

[xUrbanBeauty]

Lmao, why so many dislikes? Its hilarious! Come on, who doesnt like dr pepper? Nobody.

[steelertom74]

its a american werwolf in nyse lol

[markhh]

terrible choreography

[mr13579100]

i love it!

[brandonvass1002]

the stock markets going to shit and the world is on fire and this bullshit is happening?

[ObsidianLeFay]

e_e

[REL4XX]

/facepalm

[chenrui333]

I do think flash mob needs new ideas to refresh the mob circle.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

Flashmobs went downhill when they became comercialized. they're supposed to be ordinary people doing it for fun not for advertising

[SickSOhC]

fucking gay



[scottyg692]

corporate pawns...way to ruin a good thing

[iammach6]

please, watch the one with kiss in it

[groovakos]

we are looking for the music score of this song... anyone has it? pleaseeeeeeeee

[GMoeDrum]

Security!

[Transformersgeek]

corporate hos

[jayworthenwhoa]

every body in the room is like maybe if we clap they wont come back

[ollyknowles]

G to the A to the S to the H

[mrtoomy]

That was god awful.

[malawichair]

look how bored and exasperated people are waiting for this to finish

[ChristianFirefighter]

@malablahblah You can't even tell the difference between people being bored versus them just simply being surprised and caught off guard. Sad ...

[Ahmano23]

This is so gay. Dr Pepper FAIL...

[ChristianFirefighter]

@Ahamo23 You obviously have no taste. Ahmano23 FAIL ...

[Robert697]

well that sucked

btw, I won't "be a pepper" until they switch to a natural sweetner, either sugar or stevia.

[ChristianFirefighter]

@Roberta+numbers What sucked was your worthless review. Yup ...

[Robert697]

And you call yourself a "Christian". Well, may He bless you as you bless others.

And if you knew anything about what high fructose corn syrup and other fake sweetners did to your body, you'd stop drinking this, too.

Shalom

[itloads]

really sucked

[alexkg1]

am I the only one that thought that was pretty cool?

[WitnessofTheHolyOne]

yes

[ChristianFirefighter]

@WOTHO no

[ChristianFirefighter]

Aalexkg1 No, your not the only one. That vid was great! I always loved that jingle, it's over 20 years old and it's light years ahead of all the worthless junk that advertising agencies come up with today. Proof that 'newer' isn't always 'better' ...

[AMBS169]

haha CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL FOR AN UNAIRED BUDLIGHT COMMERCIAL UNCENSORED! hella funny

[AnneVoice]

...you know he lost a bet

[Macmittens411]

WOW... This is embarrassing..

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

I used to like dr.pepper. I think I'll buy store brand from now on...

[animalcop55]

these people have no life

[animalcop55]

are they getting mad at peppers?!?!

[Cptprice1221]

r they trying to get people to stop trying dr pepper with this?

[tradderjohn]

commercialism at its best

[WitnessofTheHolyOne]

never have i anticipated the end of a video so much as now

[Ipreachfromscripts]

is this why stock brokers have a higher suicide rate?

[gnidich2000]

i fucking hate Dr. Pepper now

[ighforever]

did it raise their stock?

[primateboogaloo]

This is how I pictured hell. Thankyou Dr Pepper ad execs for making my nightmares a reality.

[primateboogaloo]

Dr. Leper

[MetalmasteR170]

This shit should be on failblog

[Ahmano23]

I think their PR agency did this...to think, they actually paid money to "TURN" the public against the brand is insane. Someone should be fired.

[VUtheagency]

Whats the worst that can happen!?

[Syntox]

Did they give the stockbrokers complimentary bottles of Dr. Pepper and complimentary 8-balls of yayo?

[elzibar123]

I don't work for the agency. I was being sarcastic, something that never works well when written.

[bluntedtaoism]

why did they let them finish

[mrmeek]

combine the most hated profession with the worst type of marketing....way to go. Where do i go to sign up to be a pepper?

[eltanoloko]

I love it....I really do. I think is a wonderful piece of entertainment and effective advertising...

[defyingdarwin]

@eltanoloko lol

[NakedCreep]

@eltanoloko I think its a failed version of Improv Everywhere's musicals.

[WitnessofTheHolyOne]

u lost your mind?

[toastnotghosts]

I can see the souls of the people invovled dying as each second goes by

[Simonthepom]

Lame! It's embarrassing its so bad!!! Enough of the flashmob already...

[Jexy6]

After watching this, I'm actually ashamed to work in advertising. Thanks Dr Pepper.

[elbuccanero]

Anyone here got an email for Osama Bin Laden? I'd like to recommend somewhere to fly a fucking plane into.

[Juststopitrightnowok]

Please can marketing, account, clients stop trying to make ads. It's getting quite embarrassing.

[thekingdeeps]

jesus, this is terrible. flash mobs are bad enough, but to do a flash mob as badly as this is not a 'tongue in cheek approach to flash mobs' it is just a waste of time. whoever dr pepper hired to do this should be ashamed of themselves. this looks like an idea that someone came up with on a friday after lunch and everyone else was too full and sleepy to dismiss it or come up with anything better. shocking. stinks worse than turds.

[tristanbrand]

Wow. I don't know how to say "Awful/Bad/UtterSh*t" in a way that hasn't been stated already.

Some lessons for this marketing company:

-Buy a tuner

-Stay away from the stock market

-Shoot yourselves

-Just because you can doesn't mean you should

-Glamorizing the moment by shooting other photographers shooting your moment=desperation ploy

[stevequilala]

I rarely log into YouTube, but I just had to tell your marketing team that you guys should kill yourselves.

[OmitsBagels]

Make it stop. Please.

[beachian]

this is painfully bad.

[VUtheagency]

absolutely, Positively, 100% C.R.I.N.G.E

[Ahmano23]

WTF? Why hasn't the Dr Pepper marketing team pulled this down by now? It's so embarrassing. To think they paid to create this content. Idiots.

[elzibar123]

Love it. Really effective.

[TerryYaki2]

@elzibar123

Guess who works for the agency.

There's no place to hide elzibar, your client will read the other comments. Oh yes they will.

[fryitupguy]

brutal. this is the worst execution of a flash mob ever.

[BrianTurnbull1]

This is great! And by 'great' I mean fart inducingly awful. Seriously, watching this made me want to shit my brains out of my nose with embarrassment.

[FooFighterBiffyClyro]

This was created with a spider diagram and a brown soiled bit of toilet roll....Utter wankerish

[mattymattmattmattjr]

that just oozed GAY

[cmart7327]

worst. video. ever.

[yoshcore]

For fuck sake. So so so awful.

[TheHolyAdminMovement]

This is why our countries economy is screwed up.

[Thraeryn]

Somehow, I made it to 0:34. This video is to flash mobs what Pat Boone was to R&B.

[cabaute]

Uhm... Lame.

[ellinem]

Best practice: How to kill a brand with social media.

[hnabob]

I will drink Dr Pepper forever because Nunzi91 hates this crap.

[OmitsBagels]

This video sucked until they started throwing glitter... NOW I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS VIDEO 6 STARS!!!1!!!!!

[BadGuyZero]

The Bloggess will be vexed!!!

[Nunzi91]

I will never drink DR. Pepper because of this crap

[XxxSYKOTIKxxX]

Ugh, I didn't make it past the 10 second mark, how horrid.

[rutegger]

Flash mobs officially dead.

[justlettersandnumber]

But it's forced. Derivative. Unfunny. Patronising. There's no twist in the tail, nothing.

[Dancer6725]

you are all very critical. what a great and fun idea!

[justlettersandnumber]

Judging by the 'cast', Dr Pepper is aimed at white people only.

[kaychan]

@justlettersandnumber Nah, it's just how they could get dancers into the New York Stock Exchange.

[bballstina]

@justlettersandnumber i'm pretty sure the little one visible at the back left at :38 is mexican

[moskorz]

for sure i don't wanna be a pepper now oO

[popstud23]

Great way to bring back the jingle

[Ahmano23]

I love how they tagged this shit themselves as funny. Let's examine their tags:

Flash Mob: FAIL. 15 fucks who work for dr pepper is not a mob.

Surprise: "Hey Surprise, we're a bunch of fags"

Joke: The only thing funny is somebody over there has to explain to their boss how this helped the brand. That should be good for a laugh.

Punked: If punking your own brand is the latest trend, then Dr Pepper is way ahead of the curve. FOOLS.

Impromptu: NO. YOU LIE. It was produced. DIE

[brunatutty]

FAIL

[UKShortz]

One hotty at 0:25 and one guy almost dancing at 0:38. No-one else wants to "be a pepper" (?!). Interesting example of the herd mentality of the stock market.

[damienknowles]

2 minutes of my life lost.

[patroc1]

Hmmm I fancy a Coca Cola.

[PaulieMafia]

The worst that could happen? You making this vid!

[JeremySatan]

Wow, this is shit beyond belief. Cringeworthy, unoriginal, lazy, dull.

[robbieswaffles]

WTF??What were they thinking. Who wrote the song and who seriously interrupted a day at the stock market for this load of bollox, not a flash mob, just a CRINGEWORTHY FAIL

[jimalliban]

Awful. Just awful. What were you thinking Dr Pepper. Worse than the Microsoft flash dance by far. Hang your head in shame.

[TheDanBradshaw]

A double key change, what's the worst that could happen?

[IPUNCHEDALION]

FUCKING SHIT!

[thadopeman]

embarrassing

[Upsidedownunder1]

Not a flash mob, not a good performance, not good for the brand. What the hell does the NYSE have to do with anything? Zero stars.

[jetalcott]

The time has come for some Flash "Peace & Quiet".

[Ahmano23]

I will never drink Dr Pepper again thanks to this video. How did they go from Guns N Roses to this crap? Marketing FAIL.

[drucilla70]

someone spent all night on their casio-tone working that abomination up...woopsie!

[grumblemouse]

wow - whoever organised this needs to lose their job - worst.thing.ever

[royal618]

Horrid.

Detrimental to the brand.

[luciopregner]

stupid

[jffrywad]

OMG If you know this song then you have to know David Naughton (from am. wearwolf in london fame). He's the guy who sang in the commercials.

[jkimisyellow]

I like it!

[beNti0]

This is like the worst, THE WORST flashmob ever !

It's time to stop now you idiots, flashmobs are really getting old, especially when your main singer is a an old fat red shirted man.

Please stop now.

stop

[stgbrad21]

Terrible. Wow, very awkward and what was the point of this video? Why was the NYSE a big Dr. Pepper target? Good shots of those traders drinking a can, at least you could have planted a few of those for the camera shots.

[fergusmccool]

It's McNaughton from the original Pepper commercials from the 70s, idiot.

[devrincs]

Couldn't they even get someone who could sing? Embarrassing stunt. Not Flash mob, crashed-mob.

[aguirocca]

Trash Pepper... Fool.

[Shuffledog]

I guess my problem is that flash mobs are supposed to be spontaneous and unexpected. A big clear space in the NYSE floor and lots of movie cameras and such ready? Not so much.

[lilkassaundra]

s000000000 dumb

[rebelwacause84]

and insert awkward clapping from the NYSE...

[SpeedSwordCarbon]

i love it

5 stars

this make even more better

since i'm a pepper

[OmitsBagels]

Things I will always remember: 1) Where I was when 9/11 happened. 2) My First Kiss. 3) How Amazing this Flash Mob Was!!!!

This has truly inspired me!

[toastnotghosts]

ha ha ha

[KingWaddleDee]

OMG WHY WASNT I THERE?!!!

[marares]

Lame, lame, lame. So lame i've just logged to say how lame it is. Shame on you.

[steveandlola]

15 people is not a flash mob and i hate that guy. This makes me hate dr. pepper.

[henreque]

I LOVE DR. PEPPER

[palndrom23]

Wow, great choice of timing, location and content Dr. Pepper — our economy is doing awesome and Wall Street was not to blame. certainly time for a light-hearted "Flashmob". Fail.
