Of Montreal T Mobile Commercial

[PunkNoir]

T-mobile likes to take advantage of my parents. Let's get back at them. It costs them roughly 1-2 dollars a phone call minimum; if you can take up 5 mins of the representative's time that's about 7 bucks.

1-800-937-8997 This is their direct line and will not cost you anything; try to call from a landline to avoid expense. Let's start making them pay!!

[AhoyThereTanaya]

DUSSELDORF!!!!

[5winston]

"DUSSELDORF!!"

[GuhYeahRight]

Gods can't sell out. Kevin Barnes has always been true to the music

[TalkToMyAgent]

whats the song at the end of the commercial, anyone know?

[Mistertrapdoor]

@TalkToMyAgent of Montreal - Gronlandic Edit (from Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?)

[sarcasticallyyummy]

DUSSELDORF!

[BerryGlitter]

I've never seen this on TV!

uber fuuny xD

[hosway1992]

DUSSELDORF!!!

xD Love BP

[vaultboyrr]

i love how they cut out god in to give my heart to a god.

[claudiamiklosik]

@vaultboyrr isn't it give my heart to a guard? i might be mistaken, but that's how i've been singing it :P

[pumpkinether]

@claudiamiklosik nope. It's "to a god." But which one to choose?

[unseenkid5]

hahah! this car makes me happy for some reason!

[hosway1992]

I remember watchting this on TV ages ago xD

of Montreal <3333

[MrsLennonStarr]

That was hilarious. xD

lol their music.

[opennoise]

it's only selling out if your music output panders to a commercial audience instead of being an artistic statement true to the artist. because if you pander to an audience like that, you are only trying to make money, not music. of montreal has NEVER been like that

[nachheart]

Yes, not to mention that they used the money from this and other commercials to fund their last 2 or 3 massively elaborate tours. Tours they wouldn't be able to have done one record sales alone. So, I think anyone who's bitching about them doing commercials who has also seen an amazing oM show in the past three years should be biting their tongue right now.

[trank31337]

yeah, i don't see anything wrong with it. cell phone companies aren't the devil, they do a good thing, they sell you people cell phones so you can talk to each other. without cell phone companies, there would be no fucking cell phones!! half of you people probably are tmobile subscribers!

[LittleMissBrianna]

Kevin looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!! Then again when doesn't he look good!?

[EnterMyOffice]

I know right?

I loled hard at that face he made when the agent said "reunion tour."

[bobakerone]

bryan poole kind of has some kiss make up on. he like those wings.

[trgijbitrptoiti]

Utter Cheeder cheese, Dusseldorf !!!! ring tone music, and an awful "band" live, Steak and fries anyone ?

[AdmitItYourJealous]

Are you out of your mind? Of Montreal is amazing live!

[abtjulias]

haha wow good to see indie getting fucked by t mobile...

[arubz]

DUSSELDORF!

[cairo67]

OM=the biggest sell-out band of all time. They were made for commercials. Their music is fun. Not much else. It's a sad sad world we live in.

[vaginadeluxe]

I'm going to agree with everything here except the last sentence.  Whats bad about it? They sell out, no doubt, but it doesn't affect their actual musical output which has always been consistantly great.

[thefuckheadsgalore]

"DUSSELDORF" That seriously just made my life. I am going to yell this randomly now all the time.

[madcaplaughs111]

was this real?

[opennoise]

Bryan Poole is the king of winged-makeup lads

[soojung]

BP is godly.

[silverblaize]

aw no, dont even joke about them ever breaking up xD

[cornbob]

DUDDELDORF!!! And Grondlandic Edit! Yes!

[yogawarriortwo]

This is somehow excellent. A commercial managed to get inside my head.

[Annese]

of montreaaaal. love 'em.

[PhantomAL]

DUSSELDORF.

[ahugaday]

Gronlandic Edit right?

[Zombiology]

er yeah

[ahugaday]

Düsseldorf! haha whats that song playing at the end i knowthis....

[1423607]

grondlandic edit!

[kiatropolis]

LAME!!

[shirleycoffie]

Awesome commercial.. Love THEM!!!

[Danielamphetamine]

I remember seeing this commercial before... I spazzed when I saw it. o.o

[rrobothugg]

lmaooo B.P.!

[jenndean]

this is great!!

[joelizabeth2009]

for such a known band, they still play it pretty indie. i havent seen them in a huge concert hall yet, though they may now, but for ever, they just played pretty intimate concerts.

[anxiovert]

How come I never saw this commercial?

[hahaloves]

that's what i'm wondering!

O__O

[iloveaustinnation]

LOL

best.commercial.evar.

[planetnews]

Of Montreal will always be true artists. Besides, I've never even seen this commercial.

[NewBlueUniverse]

sweet, a lot of the money they made on this probably helped pay for the kick ass live shows they are putting on during this tour.

[woodlie]

i 2nd this argument

[emeraldis]

Except the shows pretty much sucked this year. Or did they?

[NewBlueUniverse]

I can't tell if you're being serious or not... I'll just guess you are

[BACKHANDJAKE]

THE SHOWS WERE SO GOOD. You just need to give them a chance. Wow, the best night of my life, not going to lie.

[emeraldis]

I've given their shows several chances throughout the years.

It was just a pity this time around. The music was played so poorly.

[spartan2600]

its not about the music, its about the visuals and overall experience. you can't reproduce the sort of music they have in their albums on stage, you shouldn't have expected that.

[fcmilsweeper9]

true

Backhandjake honestly, I think you should accomplish somethign if thats the best night of your life. Or put down the smokiler wokilers and come down from cloud 9

[ZebraTuber]

when was this aired?

[loveanakin13]

bp is my uncle!!

[cherieisamazing]

nu uh.

[loveanakin13]

mot even kiding

[cherieisamazing]

well, i love your uncle. :P

[espark1089]

Hahaha... that's awesome

[Haveacigar08]

word. selling out doesn't exist.

[camilla575]

Düsseldorf! Great that you do this! Still as cool, no selling out here. Make money to make music! Loveya!

[milkhoneyandkisses]

spinal tap?

[PLASTICEXPLOSION]

>=(

[PLASTICEXPLOSION]

=)=)=)

[voltaiccrusher19]

beepz is my hero now, solely because of his little comment at the end.

but his amazing guitar skillz do help his cause a little, i must admit :)

[nopoopallowed]

This commercial makes me...

smile.

[Zombcidee]

DUSSELDORFF!

[LifeOfBryce]

But last I check t-mobile has no of Montreal ringtones?

[byad]

DÜSSELDORF! lol genius

[RawwwrrrrPleaz]

DUSSELDORF!

[Somone23]

skeletal lamping is bomb

[LukeELrod]

skeletal lamping is only ok

[nachheart]

wrong.

[jehuty8]

are you shitting me?! skeletal lamping maybe their best album so far! SRSLY!

[wafflehouseco]

sunlandic twins is my favorite. and cherry peel

[nopoopallowed]

Akshully, I think Hissing Fauna is the best. Don't get me wrong, Skeletal Lamping IS amazing.

[petesySO]

satanic panic is way better i think, and the first half of sunlanic twins

[whited08]

lol you watched a commercial, and the only thing you can think about is professing your Of Montreal discography knowledge? i didn't see any mention of their albums. or their songs for that matter...

[nopoopallowed]

I was commenting another person's opinion to which album is best. Please don't try to fight with me over something like of Montreal. They were meant to be listened to, not fought over.

[ant1ph0n]

you're completey insane if you think it's only ok.

[slavagrigoryan]

it's not as good as sunlandic twins and hissing fauna. sorry to say. still better than almost everything out there.

[theyounghegelian]

correct.

[hbtymf]

HA!

[omgheyitslynnx]

why do I remember this commercial and have seen it many times, have a sidekick, and NOT KNOW IT WAS OF MONTREAL? its so weird that i never realized!

[ChoppinBroccoli22]

i'm totally with you on that.

[kyleletendre]

Ahahahahaha.

I love BP.

[natedoesskate]

skeletal lamping FTW

[zuckersterne]

is the manager's name [billy magnum] a reference to jeff magnum from neutral milk hotel? maybe i'm giving t-mobile too much credit, but that's what i thought of when i first saw this commercial...

[lazydynamite]

i thought so, too. but neutral milk hotel's mastermind is jeff mangum, not magnum.

[omgheyitslynnx]

well jeff mangnum was one of the starters of elephant six records, which is the label for neutral milk hotel and of montreal. So I guess billy is jeff's brother, so he manages all of elephant six's bands, including of montreal.

[buttcircleface]

best fucking commercial... im so buying a sidekick lx

why havent i seen this on tv?

[Bigbobo33]

Hah, at 0:17 he looks real pissed.

Satanic Panic in the Attic FTW

[CrazyQuagga]

I love it! "DUSSELDORF!!" will be my new catchphrase for the next few months :p

Selling out a little, especially when you do it with a good sense of humor about yourself, is a completely forgivable sin. I think Of Montreal are in the clear on this one (and Outback's people lied to them about how 'Wraith' would be used, so that one's not even their fault). Gwen Stephani, on the other hand. . . . . .

[TheBuickSixes]

What was that song at the end?

[nachheart]

It's called Gronlandic Edit.

[6shotns240s]

I fucking hate t-mobile, their service is garbage and they ruined my life. how DARE you even fucking support them this way. you're as big a DOUCHEBAG as all of the t-mobile staff, but of montreal is the shit.

[AXIOMleet]

DUSSELDORF!!!!

[mdbuhl]

I like the manager Billy Magnum

[buttdread]

my friend met them once after a show. he said they were assholes. "lets go outback tonight..."

[nachheart]

I've met them a million times, and they are all extremely kind people. Did your friends bring up the Outback commercial? Because I don't blame them for being assholes if they did. You get what you give.

[lucyisabanana]

omg ahahaha...

I fucking love this band and all their random shit

[Vokio]

Sell outs!

[skolesu]

Is this commercial broadcasted on TV in the USA?

[nachheart]

Yeah. I've never actually seen it on TV but a lot of people have.

[lalalandliza]

fair enough :)

[Shawty4show]

Düsseldorf!

Düsseldorf!

Düsseldorf!

Düsseldorf!

Düsseldorf!

[stltskn]

haha, thats just awesome

[LadyKakira]

Orms.

I couldnt help but love that comercial.

[meltingapples]

What happen to the old Cherry Peel days?

[nachheart]

They passed?

[adsfo]

I feel ya, big sigh on that one.

I can't help but be happy though, they're not going to be selling albums forever-they need the money when they've got the chance.

[soadaw1]

They changed styles midway through Cherry Peel and haven't stopped since.

[meltingapples]

O RLY? I guess I couldn't tell with all those albums they have.

[soadaw1]

It's kind of staggering how dramatically their sound changed.

[lalalandliza]

why is he chatting with japanese promoters about a reunion in Germany? Dusseldorf's in Germany right?

[Tearon42]

Nono, the Japanese promoters are for the Reunion tour.

Dusseldorf is the kickoff for the RE-reunion tour.

[viytale6]

rip off flight of the conchords a little more, advertising.

[balcom]

yeah.. but of Montreal's in it.. so it's not so bad..

[franciscotoast]

STEVE HOLT!

anyone who doesnt get what i said needs to watch arrested development

[cam132435]

YES!!!!

STEVE HOLT!!!!!

[XxLizzyxX]

Haha completly random :P

[dontask07]

DUSSELDORF!!!

[Penguin350129]

DUSSELDORF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whooperpooper86]

DUSSELDORF!

[Cojir0]

Düsseldorf!

[ILoveSamRoberts]

When does this video air on tv? I can't wait lol

[eddy7496]

A bit degrading to the band though

John

Edmunds Productions

[genome47]

What is the song called at the end?

[nachheart]

Gronlandic Edit

[pathetic1]

Dear Of Montreal,

Please stop making commercials.

And increasingly shitty music.

Thanks.

Love, me

[andythebradford]

Wait, is this selling out? why do they keep producing great fucking music? sell outs usually go to shit... MM anyone? yeah.

[LeaptheDips]

Eh, I think MM's new CD was better compared to their older stuff than Hissing Fauna was for OM.

[soadaw1]

MM benefitted from the improved production quality.

[foley56]

Time to burn all my Of Montreal CD's

[Jaremi]

Why? They're amazing, but you're gonna burn them cos they did a commercial that does not affect the music in anyway? You pretentious elitist fool.

[Jaremi]

And that was in reply to

foley56 :)

[foley56]

I heard wraith pinned to the mist was originally written about steaks and gronlandic edit was written to sell phones. You let your work sell products and I can't take it seriously anymore. You do a commercial and you're no longer a real artist.

The burning of the cd's was also figurative, FYI

[Jaremi]

I assumed as much as regards to the CDs, but it's still a bit extreme.

The music is still good, and I don't know about anyone else, but to me that's all that matters really.

[foley56]

The music is still good it's just a respect issue. I'll point to the fact that the Unicorns turned down a couple million to put I was born a Unicorn in a Nike commercial. Even when they were poor as all hell. You gotta repect that.

[soadaw1]

In an age where many people see nothing wrong with downloading music without paying, artists often have to find other ways of making ends meet.

[othelian]

This man speaks the truth.

[balcom]

whatever.. they need to live.

[5winston]

Oh, please do. You don't deserve them.

[danferrarello]

I love them. But they are selling out so hard. It hurts me.

[ieatstars]

thats not selling out. that's how they get paid. You try paying rent when everyone downloads your album for free.

[kilon828]

Kevin said an in interview that the outback commercial was the only way they could afford to do all they did with their last tour. Which trust me, I got to see them twice on it and it was incredible.

[SpacemanBill]

funfact bp changed his look because he was afraid people on the street would walk up to him and yell dusseldorf he told me this

well okay not me but i was standing next to the person he told so basically me

im pretty sure i nodded perhaps even chuckled

[blurryxxangel]

Poor BP! But i suspected as much.

Although I have to say, I'll dearly miss his mutton chops =(

[smilelelele]

Aw yay!

[rockthelauren]

BP Helium is my hero.

I love them.

[funyun2]

Of montreal is the greatest band ever! It wasn't funny, but just the sight of them on national television excites me. Just like how i'm excited when an Outback Steakhouse commercial comes on, or during that Nasdaq ad with an Of Montreal song in it. I don't know why there's an ad with them, but YAY.

and BP is the man.

[whatsarahsaid3]

I love this. x)

[poop12345]

God Damn I love of Monteal. They are fantastic in concert.

[oxgirly4lifexo]

haha omg i live in dusseldorf! do you kno how awesome that is? h3ll yeauhhh

[camui28]

BP is such the nicest guy ever

I can't believe he looks so different now

[al44ly]

at least it doesnt rape their music like the outback commercials. oh my god, those make me want to dieeeee

[hierapolis]

Ohh BP is the cutest! I love him!

[shellfish107]

Saw them tonight in concert. BP looks so different. It took me a song or two to figure out it was him.

[Alexisgood]

BP is just...

i love you BP <3

[aujrly]

it's not even funny, though. ):

ugh i love of montreal too much to hate them for this.

[blurryxxangel]

Düsseldorf!

[ohdiscotheque]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[dwarfbeat]

This has made an otherwise gloomy day splendid!

[MindCop]

Ahahah, awesome!!!

[LiamKavanaugh]

DUSSELDORF!

[washyisaloony]

LOL. Why does that remind me of a Hard Day's Night?

[takeitorleaveit]

me too!

[theaddingmachine]

I THOUGHT THAT TOO
