I'll never forget the first time I saw this. I was at the opening night screening of The Dark Knight and this was playing before the previews started. Everyone in the theater got either excited or appalled thinking it was a Breakfast Club remake trailer. Then when the JC Penney logo showed up everyone immediately started booing. It's the only time at a theater I've seen popcorn thrown at the screen.
Weird I don't remember Bender trying to be a skater faggot he was the rebel not the kid that tryed to fit in. Why would they do this. An insult considering the death of John Hughes
FAIL. Just look at that wannabe Bender putting his feet on the table like he's a badass. The basis of this movie just doesn't mix with the JCPenney vibe. Also, New Found Glory sucks monkey chode. Terrible fucking cover.
I hope and pray those corrupt money grubbing sleazy Hollywood producers do not fuck up The Breakfast Club with a remake. Leave the classics alone. They already ruined The Karate Kid. Fuck Hollywood!!!
So exactly *who* is this rapefest supposed to appeal to? Look, everybody! Pretty kids in their pretty clothes are... in school! And they're dancing and putting on makeup and eating candy! WHEEEEEEE!
You might as *$&%ing well just redo "Raging Bull," but this time make it in color and Jake LaMotta is played by that Tyler Loopner douche from "Twilight" and he wins the fight and gets the girl. Did the twenty-something year old soulless whore who made this commercial even watch the frigging movie?
@DiggoryPoopgrunt I doubt they did. Man i wish The Breakfast Club was real so one of us could call Bender, Andrew, Claire, Brian, and Allison and tell them to go down there and show those poser what the real Breakfast Club is made of.
Does anyone else think that this is both hitting the mark perfectly and completely missing it at the same time? I mean it's supposed to appeal to the High School youth (who are too young to appreciate the reference and importance, and therefore misses entirely) and at the same it it really hits with the nostalgia for the people actually BUY the clothes, i.e. the parent who were kids when the movie came out and so hits perfectly? Weird. It seems to miss so badly and hit so well.
I hate how this generations 'rebels' are skaters and emos. The pussiest of rebels. I mean fuck 50's Greasers would destroy them. Bender could take them all on by himself and still win.
I AGREE! i bet bender could take em' all! you want a rebel just look up john bender from the breakfast club! THE BREAKFAST CLUB IS THE BEST MOVIE EVERRRR!!
i know it did...i think that JC Penny...should be like destroyed...THEY RUINED THE BREAKFAST CLUB! but no matter wut any one does..The Breakfast Club will all ways RULE!
@mitchmcmichael Na, man. That's just what JCPenney wants you to think. There are still pretty badass people out there, you're just not going to find them in a shitty JCPenney commercial.
Yeah, I'm gonna go stick my head in an oven now. Jesus, this is fookin' awful. Do we HAVE to make a shitty homage to every everything related to 80's pop culture? This is just insulting. Is that a freakin' Nirvana shirt? If Kurt were alive, he'd shoot himself again, after seeing this.
that was the greatest movie of all time (in mt opinion) and that commercial did NOT do it justice at all. It would have been a little better if they would have at least kept the original song...
>_>... Wow.. You people are getting all worked up... over a commercial... saying "Fuck this commercial" etc. Well we can obviously see who are the ones here who need a good fuckin'. XD
you killed the breakfast club jc penny and macy's you murdered Foleys the original 10 story foley's in downtown houston just had the name plate changed to macys it has not changed for 60 years till now
Okay. This is just terrible. The one guy doesn't act like a criminal. And why the fuck is Claire black and holding a dog? And Allison is wearing pink. This is just pathetic.
Oh whatever to the people that like this garbage commercial. I wasn't a teen in the 80's i was born in 1987. And i know well enough that JC Penny took a great movie to commercialize and sell there shit. And i don't care if it appeals to teens now, this movie is suppose to be a classic, something that shouldn't be remade or redone, something you shouldn't even touch.
That was horrible. They butchered everything, even the song. The point of the movie was to put a bunch of people who are from different cliques together. Not a bunch of Jc penny's people. I love this movie, how could they do this to it.
Boycott J.C. Penny's unless your wife is like mine and she's a consumerist who doesn't care about politics, Art, Nostalgia, corporatism or ect. Then unless you want to have a big fight with her you have to go and buy from the bastards. However I still hate this commercial for what it does to my song, and my movie from when I was in the 10th grade, and just starting to think about the future of when I actually got there I'd be wanting to go back to my past.
Someone said in an article that this was supposed to appeal to today's teens, which it does to an extent, however if you consider that the Breakfast Club debuted in 1985, its the parents of today's teens its really directed at more so.
I find it funny that people are bashing this, It's not a remake of the breakfast club, It's a modern version of it. Taking whats popular now and throwing in some 80's references from the movie. I found it clever and cool, and the song wasn't half bad, considering that the original wasn't that great either. As for not seeing this movie. I watched it in High school, and many of my friends have also seen it. In fact I find it terrible that everyone thinks people only watch "new" movies.
i'm really sick of all the comments saying that teens today won't get this, i'm only 14 and i know lots of people who have seen the breakfast club, saying like kids haven't seen it, is like saying we haven't seen the wizard of oz!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well i am sure that none of you pimple faced teenie bopers know or even understand the point of the movie , such as alienation from ones parents, interacting and understanding ones peers, depression, angst and the list could go on , so youve seen the breakfast club, that dosent mean that you understand what the message it was trying to bring across to people was
saying we dont understand the message is very stupid, the idea of it anyway. apparently you dont have teenagers of your own, those issues are as present today as they were then and is one of the things in history that is likely to never change, no matter who grows out of it.
I work there and I think this video is lame. The majority of people I see shop there are old anyways. I rarely see people my age (21+) shopping there. The movie came out like 23 years ago. This ad was hardly like it. If they made the kids look even remotely 80's or like one of the cast members then I might have got the reference. I honestly think Penneys is trying a bit to hard. If a lot of people don't get it, then what's the point?
it annoys me how parents expect kids to be so ignorant. I've heard them say, "This commercial is stupid, no kids will get it". I'm 13 and I've seen the breakfast club a million times, just because I'm not a child of the 80's doesn't mean I'd miss such a huge fad. Kids that havn't heard of it obviously don't get out much. (BTW this commercial was kind of smart, SOO much buisness for JC Penny, I wonder if they filmed in the same location the real movie was filmed)
There's something deeper here though. The Breakfast Club was Art. J.C. Penny is a capitalist, and they found a way to capitalize. These are the same people who a few years back called the Border Patrol, or the police who then called the Border Patrol on a Mexican family who was trying to return some pants. Exploiting the Breakfast Club is just the cherry on top. Look at all the other rotteness underneath as well.
why are people taking this as any more than a commercilal?
lol jcpenney had no intention of doing "justice" to the movie in a one minute commercial, nor should they have. They wasnt to sell clothes o teenagers and the breakfast club was an idea. i dont think they expected kids to know what the breakfast club is.
I was 15 when TBC came out. This commercial actually managed to bastardize an already craptacular movie. Trying to appeal to my generation? Nope, missed! My 16 y/o has never watched the movie. The only reference point she has for JCPenney is the 1978 version of Dawn of the Dead. New commercial: Get chased by the living undead, but stay stylish in your unremarkable JCPenney duds. "Nothing says back-to-school zombie like JCPenney." Appeals to Gen-X and offspring alike! The song? No. Bad. Stinks.
Okay i saw this at the movies, then i was like "OH GOD A BREAKFAST CLUB REMAKE" then i saw the jcpenny ad then i was like "thank god" i would seriously cut myself if they made this into a remake. but i respect them for making it a commercial though! hee hee
I bet the only reason these kids actually watched the breakfast club, was because they were going to be in the commercial. ughh i hate this. the breakfast club is an amazing movie. my favorite by far. They don't even have any right to touch it.
Who the heck is singing the remake of this song? I actually kind of like it. But that's about all I do like.
You can't take it as more than a flipping commercial. It's just a little thing to make you feel good and remember your childhood. I'm 19 and I was so excited to hear I was going to be in a commercial that was a remake of the Breakfast Club. I love that movie, and I was born in '88. Stop with the hatred, there's no point to it. PS: Did you David LaChapelle directed it?
No, No JCPenny! Bad on you! I wasn't born in the 80s but that was the greatest movie! You just made it scarmbel in my mind. I will love that movie forever!
this freaked me out when i heard the commercial on tv. i am a huge fan of the breakfast club and it makes me sad to see this commercial all the time. i don't like it.
Yes I can tell you don't have the emotional attachment. No nostalgic connection here for you. To be an 80s babys you have to have been born in the 60s. Nothing worse than the corporate animal attacking prey that is weak because of an experied copyright, and feeding on it while it's still breathing.
J.C. Penny is coporate and racist. Don't expect any better of them, because the dollar is their GOD. All the profits they rake in by getting their clothes from undocumented labor(if the sweatshop slaves unionize they call ICE on them), is part of that rotteness I'm talking about. When your GOD is the dollar, then Art has a price, and nostalgia is a sentimentality that's too expensive.
Eloquently put, and you make a point. But... this company doesn't even make the top 100 offenders in that respect. This is a global issue and you may have to go naked or make your own clothes to protest, I think. The dollar is just a thing of value and an actionable national interest. Your argument is valid, but a lonely one.
Breakfast club is one of the best movies imho of all time for what it was.
JC Penny is a overpriced piece of shit store that sells sweatshop clothes for ridiculous prices. And now they have to insult a good movie by trying to copy its popularity to sell clothes. Its crap man just crap.
Don't they have any original thoughts to peddle there garbage?
I wanna beat the fuck out of those assholes for messing it up!! All the kids are dressed like obnoxious preps! The whole movie was about diversity and coming together, but in the commercial they all dress alike!
UKRoyals. Better? LoL hell why not just redo it and make it like highschool shitsachool. More boxed bullshit catered to the braindead who want to see the same thing over and over again.
No black people so what it was the 80's and the story was not racist so what does it matter?
This video had no canadians or iraqi's, native american's aren't you offended? No? Bah stupid stupid stupid.
I'm not trying to go off on you but TBC is a treasured movie icon and this was in poor taste to sell clothes.
This is an insulting and offensive rip off. Everyone in this pathetic "tribute" looks exactly the same. Where's the individuality that the original movie depicted?! Where's the nerd? Where's the criminal? Where's the psychotic art girl? They all look interchangeably bland to me. Homogeneous drivel. The cover song makes me want to shove ice picks in my ears.
This commercial was cool up until JC Penney plastered its logo feces across the whole screen. I grew up with TBC movie, I have it on DVD, and I watch it once or twice a year. If they made a remake of that film, I would go to see it. However, the characters would need to be played by actors who resemble the original breakfast club. The modern cover of the theme song can stay, though. I do agree with Rivelution: the characters looked far too flamboyant; one rich kid is all you need.
I bet they half the kids in this commercial haven't even seen the breakfast club.

I was 15 when TBC came out. This commercial actually managed to bastardize an already craptacular movie. Trying to appeal to my generation? Nope, missed! My 16 y/o has never watched the movie. The only reference point she has for JCPenney is the 1978 version of Dawn of the Dead. New commercial: Get chased by the living undead, but stay stylish in your unremarkable JCPenney duds. "Nothing says back-to-school zombie like JCPenney." Appeals to Gen-X and offspring alike! The song? No. Bad. Stinks.

I bet the only reason these kids actually watched the breakfast club, was because they were going to be in the commercial. ughh i hate this. the breakfast club is an amazing movie. my favorite by far. They don't even have any right to touch it.
Who the heck is singing the remake of this song? I actually kind of like it. But that's about all I do like.

one of the worst. commercials. ever.
alice you are a tool. i was born 87 but you don't hear me going around saying i knew what was going on. we weren't even fully conscious.
this commercial is just so stupid i can't get my head around it. its just like all the commercials that use rolling stones songs.
its so bad because the "club" is such a good movie.
plus the scene were they are all dancing is when they all get stoned.
so JC penny is encouraging drugs! rofl

You can't take it as more than a flipping commercial. It's just a little thing to make you feel good and remember your childhood. I'm 19 and I was so excited to hear I was going to be in a commercial that was a remake of the Breakfast Club. I love that movie, and I was born in '88. Stop with the hatred, there's no point to it. PS: Did you David LaChapelle directed it?

jeez what's with all the hate? i'm not really OFFICIALLY an 80's baby (born in 89) but this commercial is not so bad.
you can't keep everything original. original is original. they just made a remake and i love it.
j3mj3m 3 years ago
Yes I can tell you don't have the emotional attachment. No nostalgic connection here for you. To be an 80s babys you have to have been born in the 60s. Nothing worse than the corporate animal attacking prey that is weak because of an experied copyright, and feeding on it while it's still breathing.

J.C. Penny is coporate and racist. Don't expect any better of them, because the dollar is their GOD. All the profits they rake in by getting their clothes from undocumented labor(if the sweatshop slaves unionize they call ICE on them), is part of that rotteness I'm talking about. When your GOD is the dollar, then Art has a price, and nostalgia is a sentimentality that's too expensive.
teachyoung 3 years ago
Eloquently put, and you make a point. But... this company doesn't even make the top 100 offenders in that respect. This is a global issue and you may have to go naked or make your own clothes to protest, I think. The dollar is just a thing of value and an actionable national interest. Your argument is valid, but a lonely one.
CleverCynic22 3 years ago
Ya...
Breakfast club is one of the best movies imho of all time for what it was.
JC Penny is a overpriced piece of shit store that sells sweatshop clothes for ridiculous prices. And now they have to insult a good movie by trying to copy its popularity to sell clothes. Its crap man just crap.
Don't they have any original thoughts to peddle there garbage?

No black people so what it was the 80's and the story was not racist so what does it matter?
This video had no canadians or iraqi's, native american's aren't you offended? No? Bah stupid stupid stupid.
I'm not trying to go off on you but TBC is a treasured movie icon and this was in poor taste to sell clothes.

This is an insulting and offensive rip off. Everyone in this pathetic "tribute" looks exactly the same. Where's the individuality that the original movie depicted?! Where's the nerd? Where's the criminal? Where's the psychotic art girl? They all look interchangeably bland to me. Homogeneous drivel. The cover song makes me want to shove ice picks in my ears.

This commercial was cool up until JC Penney plastered its logo feces across the whole screen. I grew up with TBC movie, I have it on DVD, and I watch it once or twice a year. If they made a remake of that film, I would go to see it. However, the characters would need to be played by actors who resemble the original breakfast club. The modern cover of the theme song can stay, though. I do agree with Rivelution: the characters looked far too flamboyant; one rich kid is all you need.
