Empire State of Mind

[mdtrue]

Tabco is not a real company, "Per Se", This is a fake company created simply to not only mock the constant users/followers/praisers of Tablets. They do this in a very creative way, which now causes those same users to speculate and argue among themselves, in blogs which gives them the coolest exposure ever to whatever product they will launch. Tablet? or Something else entirely? Creative Advertising at its finest. Kudos tabco!!!

[F33DTH3F1R3F1LM5]

why do I always find the dumbest videos ever shared on facebook? hhhhmmm...???

[MrShouff]

@F33DTH3F1R3F1LM5

cuz you dumb maybe? lol

[F33DTH3F1R3F1LM5]

@MrShouff -- I bet you feel better about yourself now right.... child.

[foxh8er]

I bet its a Xoom 2. This company MUST be Motorola, or else I am stumped.

[MrShouff]

@foxh8er

motorola has just been sold to google!

[HonorisCausa1]

bet it turns out being shit.

[mrcondog69]

if you are smart, send me a message saying who you think is making this tablet. ex. verizon, nokia, etc.

[LinkyPallent]

I laugh if this flops :D

I thaught it will be nokia behind this.. Then i thaugt Microsoft.. And now the droid at 0:30 from moto.. mh very mystery !

but i dont think that motorola can do a ''revolution'' :D would eb cool if its moto but not cooler than MS i think

[boboimut]

0:31 that guy hold motorola

[galatasaray710]

wannabe ninjas

[WCKD85]

How are people so dim? This is not a real video. Stop talking about like this really happened. It's a commercial you morons.

[MrJuanCamilito]

1:09 You are right. It's taking too long

[fratzi]

fake

[RadarTheKat]

This is Google. I have a friend who works at the ESB and he caught wind of this campaign months ago.

[velvetsixx]

fake as it is, it's kind of a good idea.

(unless they pulled that crap for real...in which case HolySHIT :)

but the girl exclaiming perfectly on cue was a lil too forced. Like she was waiting there to shout out soon as the message came on

[RoberTastic]

fake ass viral marketing crap

[JimmyLawrenson]

the security guy they filmed is probably watching this and going....shiiiiiiiit

[sirtaisto]

what phone is in 0:31 ???

[MultiManiac20]

it can be nokia... i think ...

black and red is the total opposite of nokias colors Blue and white ...

every brand has already a tablet except nokia ...

in some of the videos they are talking about android and iOS and everything else ... except about symbian or nokia ... or windows ...

[DJTripleRRR]

@MultiManiac20 Wouldn't that be amazing, it's also Nokia's style of advertising.

Nokia Meego tablet PLEEEASE!!

[BryllEeetreme]

wth!?

[wakemind32]

eso es verdad? muy bueno....

[shotta2545]

you ppl are so stupid. its called a viral campaign is is made to keep you wondering and build hype for the product. just like the so called "PS4 console" videos.

[srgtfx]

old

[lustra182]

Obviously fake. Another major company would not record or uplode incriminating evidence and try to use it to advertise their product

[davidpotes1]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo o-o



[hocosfreshest]

fake. unless they filmed themselves committing multiple felonies on purpose. 

[bradled4d]

This stuff is hard (marketing). These guys have a mountain to climb and they know it, I think I'd be distracting myself with some goofy videos too. I for one am looking forward to 8/15.

[JosephThaneson]

Let's hear it for #NewYork !

[JosephThaneson]

#Good #job #Dublin #America #loves you.

[ThisCouldBePerfect]

for being 'secretive' they were loud as fuck.! lol

[YUPchannel]

@ThisCouldBePerfect indeed!

[MrNieusy]

Juuust watched this extremly drunk, and i have no idea wats going on.

[loscha49]

@MrNieusy i'm not drunk, and still don't know what's going on

[BrianPBader]

poor choice of advertisement... if people want a tablet they already know to get an ipad. Good Luck with your product though.

[MultiManiac20]

@BrianPBader

looks like you got no idea of the life dude :D

[BrianPBader]

@MultiManiac20 i got an idea. Do you though?

[BrianPBader]

this is dumb and a ripoff of other videos. It's already been done.

[sexiipiiece]

cool.... looking forward to it!

[hellokitty9122]

oh

[taufiqurrohmannasir]

Sucks!!

[PatkaKojaSjedi]

Yeah, right.

[igotmesomebathin]

your tablets going to be another crappy apple wannabe and your fake stunts are stupid and childish. youre investors are dumbasses and are going to lose all your money. this will be the last "viral" video (a couple hundred hits) that i watch from you guys. heres to hoping you prove me wrong but knowing you wont. -cheers

[CalmNoise]

Fake and sucks...

[proudy97]

I wish I knew what the hell your tablet was. You're promoting it like crazy, but we don't know what it is, what software it runs. It could be 500x better than the iPad, and we won't know. Show some specs!

[HeHanLa]

@proudy97 "... wait till you see our tablet on August 15th."

[proudy97]

@HeHanLa I literally CANNOT wait. It looks really interesting. I've been anticipating it since I saw the commercial from yesterday.

[LewisHNL]

@proudy97 don't you get it, thats the whole point, its trying to get you crazy excited with some awesome marketing campaign and it will reveal the device later in the hope people will already be won over, doubt it will work though, people aren't that stupid (though this isn't the first time people have tried this, remember the Motorola teaser before the Xoom)

[KevinPolitz]

If any of you guys would read the description, you would know that TabCo is launching some kind of computer tablet (like the iPad or Xoom) on August 15th.

[chibichichio]

So...what is this?

[kalvinsakiller]

Paint* lol

[kalvinsakiller]

Gay. I'll do that! not even in photoshop, but on microsoft paying. Hehe

[mmawsgeek]

when i started watchin i thot it was about terrorists. what the fuck is tab co????

[Shopaholicchic12]

That's sickk.

[TheMidasRaw]

I'm sorry that someone convinced you this stunt was worth the money. No obvious message, hacky actors/tired premise, letters look like numbers. What's Tabco again? Your message wasn't lost, it never left the office.

[TheEndlessMike]

What OS are you using?

[soniv33]

genuinely thought that the building said Tabasco :s

[bobbybrady8]

This SUCKS, a complete waste of time.

[OKFamous]

...Can I have my tablet now?

[noahtavlin]

fucking dumb. go fuck yourself tab co i dont care what you are

[Amrial]

my favorite part was they had the black guy picking the locks

[andrescuervof]

Computer graphics...cheap video

[instaballernick]

awesome too that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to know thats a date written on the right side of the building without a description. i thought they were more letters... and figured it was a fuck up. looks like B IS ll.

[instaballernick]

dumb

[Chrenen]

Someone in that building is now shitting in the dark.

[kalsikum]

@Chrenen 27 thumbs up not bad! Not bad at all.. Yeah i've been in that situation before and it sucks real time.

[cuazulado]

That looks cool to play... not to watch, though

[cuazulado]

That looks cool to play... not to watch, though

[VampireKitten182]

Lots of build up to a very unimpressive ending.

[Pilsnerp1c]

Christ, I hate viral marketing.

[ahallification]

Seems like this commercial shows TabCo's blatant disrespect on security in one of our nation's leading landmarks.

[buckyanimal]

@ahallification How's that? It's fake. You do know that right?

[CMACTHEARTIST1]

that was raw..... honestly

[ThePaperFlowers]

so what IS tabco?

[storstygg]

So, what is this marketing? Cool vid regardless.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?

THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT: If there is standing HAPPY BIRTHDAY(yourname)

[lualbryja]

i wish i paid attention last night ><. but good job.

[MrAztec25]

Legit.. xD

[dossettmichael]

Very cool!

[TheReallyRealTJ]

Stealthy as an Ox.

[pixonu]

skip to 1:25

[crispymoore]

Not only does this look fake, the dialogue sounds like it was written by an 8 year old. We can safely infer by the quality of this piece of shit, that the TabCo tablets will be manufactured with the same kind of attention to detail. None.

[Sjiftmaister]

@crispymoore sorry, but that doesn't really make sense

[Creedon13]

If you read the description under the video it says "fun fact: each letter was actually the size of the empire state building" ..... errrrmmm are these people morons?! How can each letter be bigger than the building they have written it on. Idiots.

[ZebCarpenter]

@Creedon13 Read a little more closely... they were referring to another video of something they had sky-written, not the lights in this video.

[Creedon13]

@ZebCarpenter ah ok I see. I assumed when they said about it being written in the sky they were talking about the skyline of NYC. Thanks

[EdizidE]

@Creedon13 They were talking about their previous stunt involving sky writing.

[alphanumerik]

guerilla marketing, you are doing it wrong

[biggsterboy]

whatever it is, it only has 302 views right now. TAB Co. needs to hire some different marketing people.

[Rafahell8]

@biggsterboy it's locked on 302...it's part of some ARG.

I don't like it.

And I'm pretty sure is a tabacco ad.

[Sjiftmaister]

@Rafahell8 No it's a talblet ad

[keirjohnharry]

I'd love to believe this is real, if it is then why is it still on youtube ? and if its not, how do you rent out the Empire State Building ?

[MrMykee18]

8-15-11 ;)

[Keithf441]

Ok this is cool BUT WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH TABLETS

[MrMykee18]

@Keithf441 8-15-11 probably announcement of it..

[ChadDouglasPA]

cool concept. did it really happen? not sure... still - cool link bait.

[Ohmannch]

@Innerbee I'm watching it for the cheap marketing, the same way you would watch a cheesy film from the 80's ...

[REICHSKE]

Motorola, boring.

[kmarisms41]

still confused. what a let down

[spencerallanbrooks]

They're getting me so excited, even though I probably won't buy one. I wish they got more ARG about it.

[freezedriedsquid]

I want one!

[KatieMundy]

Don't want to be racist, but why are they black? A white person could have been capable of doing that too..

[iKilledKennyXD]

@KatieMundy only one was black, the other 3 are white

[zira12]

brinkmann 0:29

[MAGNVZ666]

I just got dizzy...too much movement XD

[McNeelyJ]

really? this says nothing about the product or brand...waste of my time.

[tuca1992]

uh? tabaco?

[jeffbough]

what the fuck is tabco?

[aramalarconvaldez]

Tabco the reason why i buy an Ipad!!!

[boysdirector]

W-H-A-T T-H-E F-U-C-K

[standystandy]

Darn, that's a stupid android there. If it only was an N9 or so...

[itsmeTIBOR]

TABCO IS BULL? is that what it said?

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

@itsmeTIBOR The message is "TabCo 8 15 11" (8 15 11 = August 15, 2011)

[itsmeTIBOR]

@TheManiacOnWheelsUSA lol i didnt know that :P

[seanward]

CGI!!! Tho i'm still excited about your tablet.... :)

[tronicxit]

[BryllEeetreme]

[nyimphe]

@BryllEeetreme lmao

[calvinlotz]

@BryllEeetreme lmfao

[ahferoze]

This better not be a hoax.

[Geshpenst]

So I hear Apple sold 9 million iPads last quarter.
