US Marines Ad

[mustofar]

FACEPALM

[pone420]

This commercial came out sometime in the 90's gents... When I saw it I decided that I wanted to be a United States Marine. Now here I am a Sergeant of Marines and I'm slaying lava monsters all damn day.

Semper Fidelis

[IhaveDeliciousToast]

Generation Kill...

[jamielowndes]

I have such a love/hate relationship with America. I loved the time I spent there, Im eager to go back and Id like to live there. But seeing stuff like this, I just facepalm way too much.

[bostonred11]

The whole point of an advert is to give the viewer some kind of idea of what to expect from the job. the royal marines adverts show what the training is like, what kind of a person you need to be, what kind of challenges your up against and shows what the green beret means. The USMC advert is trying to inspire people, but you don't really get an idea of what the job is like.

Either way the Royal Marines and USMC kick ass. God save the queen and god bless america!

BURN IN HELL OSAMA

[tabraham1992]

[BlueBlackInside]

[TheGoatTower]

FUS ROH DAH

[jeffkodiac]

I did not know that the U.S. military had fought also in Lord of the Ring.

[TheARMAProductions]

This is beyond stupid.

[G777GUN]

@TheARMAProductions

WHAT...

THE ...........

FUCK!!!!!!!!!

Most show how they train marines in the US.

"Use CGI dragons, its way more realistic than a guy with bombs strapped to his chest with an AK47"

or better yet..

Teenager: "Hey I want to join the marines, what can I expect, is it like that game MW3"

Seargeant: "You will learn Rookie, the world is not a game and like nothing like MW3, its more like god damn reign of fire. Because the enemy uses fucking dragons!!"

[TheARMAProductions]

@G777GUN Yeah this is why when the kids get out to war zones they don't what's hit them.

[Klatjofsky]

@G777GUN Teenager: "So it's sort of like Skyrim?"

[GAMINGgrungey]

thats sooo fucking gay!

[ssanthonys]

Is this the new Zelda game?

[GAMINGgrungey]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHA!!!!!

[UrbanDecae81]

Soo... The Marines is pretty much one big Dungeons and Dragons campaign?

[MisterHeroman]

*Actual experience may vary.

[1812over2]

@MisterHeroman your comment made my day =D

[warriorharris1208]

Can anybody tell me where i can find the recruiting station here on guam? Or how can i contact a recruiter and talk to him personally. Tnx

[donkameron]

I was thinking about joining the Marines, but now I dunno... I'm not sure I can climb up a drill mountain and sword fight a giant monster on a laser bridge...

[sirotti1981]

WH40K recruting video for space marines....

[YAHSPETSNAZ]

lol has anyone ever seen generation kill? they make fun of this commercial and i finally found it

[OhMyGodAWhale]

@YAHSPETSNAZ See second top rated comment..

[YAHSPETSNAZ]

@OhMyGodAWhale lol didnt see that. such an awesome show

[TulkorHAOMARUSH]

Us Army guys were making it too easy for the Marines to bash with the whole Aint Ready for Marines Yet and other shit...and they felt left out. So they go ahead and make this epic and gay commercial so we can try to bash them.

And they failed at that. Yeah, they will really feel fucking insulted when we call them dragon slayers or the Dovahkiin from ES Skyrim...

[that1guyunderurbed]

i call BS. i never had 2 fight a damned balrog in boot or mct. unless this is the test for nco or staff nco. never get to do the fun challenges.

[TheARMAProductions]

Surely this is someone having a giggle?

[TheARMAProductions]

Yeah the Uploader is from Russia haha. Very good lol. I know the yanks can be gung ho at times but this is going too far to be real lol

[MsSloppyseconds]

@TheARMAProductions I literally lol'd at this. So fucking funny.

[TheARMAProductions]

@MsSloppyseconds Same here haha but it's real apparently mate

[NiteRabbit]

@TheARMAProductions I lived in New York during the 90's and I swear this is a real commercial, they played it on TV all the time back then.

[TheARMAProductions]

@NiteRabbit thx for this mate. hahahaha

[AvaddonKa]

well people who hate this commercial, obviously never met a Marine.

[DeMause]

compare to

/watch?v=IUcaM_0ztbM

Methinking standards are slightly different.

[YCpowerT]

This reeks of propaganda.

[BarerRudeROC]

this is so fucking stupid

[FacePoppies]

Hello. I just got back from my 4-year tour of duty. I am disappointed to say that I didn't get to fight even one lava monster. I joined because I thought it was my duty to protect my countrymen from gargantuan beasts of molten fire, but it turned out they just wanted me to shoot at brown people.

[eskimoguy]

103 people couldnt beat the Balrog

[JKDWC]

Totally CHAD!

[longforder]

Chad as your dad in phys rig!

Royal Marine Commando!

[fangednekoyasha]

@saruhe "we would not have the rights that we do in this country"

followed by "you have no right to speak"

What an idiot... Do you actually believe that I have to be a member of a group before I can criticize it? Or have "someone you know" be part of that group? Not too bright, are you?

[saruhe]

@fangednekoyasha You're judging someone you've never met based on a YouTube comment made 3 years ago? No, I'm not an idiot. I'm someone who has lost loved ones and watched those who survived suffer after serving overseas. It's an emotional topic, and my comment didn't come out the way I intended. You're right, you can criticize whatever you want and I apologize that my comment implied otherwise. But if you want to make your point, you don't have to do so with name calling.

[gabrielmba1]

GET SOME!!!

[happosai27]

@xxajisthemansxx exactly ;3

[Mantonization]

American Marines adverts: BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE! OOH RAH! FIGHT THE DRAGON!

British Marine adverts: Piss off, we don't want weaklings.

[bebill2]

Take a leaf from the Royal Marines advert, you would get less MW3 players..and more Fight to the death marines.

/watch?v=IUcaM_0ztbM&feature=r­elated

BTW, im not trying to insult the USMC..but c'mon, seriously? This advert was cringy.

[jwalker477]

@Mantonization <-- Brags on youtube about what the recruiter told him when he was rejected.

[Mantonization]

@jwalker477 I've never actually applied to the Royal Marines (or any of the forces for that matter) so you can fuck off. Besides, my point stands. Have you seen the British Marine adverts?

[tabraham1992]

@Mantonization Haha 100% true

[IWannaBeItTrueBeauty]

@Mantonization US Marines. Ready to fight and well trained. The best. And pretty damn hott too.

[IWannaBeItTrueBeauty]

@Mantonization But this commercial does make us look like shit.

[DuskBeforeDawn2008]

Ok I joined up, when do I get to fight demons?

[FigaroXxz]

...truth is, people die. *End of Advert*

[starryeyeddreamers]

"Brad probably saw that T.V. commercial, the one with the knight that fucks up the dragon that turns into the Marine...Fucking dress blues commercial man. That got so many fucking dudes. "

[ACluelessKid]

Who wouldn't want to be a Marine if you fought stuff like this?

..But seriously, why can't they make serious ads instead of lying or making art stuff?

[Davedz91]

@ACluelessKid >implying you'd want to fight a dragon with only a sword

[ACluelessKid]

@Davedz91

A sword and shield sounds better.

[ibm5155]

DOOM is comming, prepare your bfg9000 marines.

[kruvahk]

@ArsonMurderJaywalkin Shit lol, that makes all the other guys sound like pussies. Makes me want to go join the Corps right now. xP

[coffeeandsoup]

I respect everything the Marines have to offer,and no offence but this ad was just bad...

[edracon]

What does this have to do with marines?

[Max1234qwert]

I see the Marines have invested in an Aperture Science Hard Light Bridge

[ugadawg92]

The Marines should be embarrassed from this commercial. Also, join the "elite"? you mean the elite that also has women in it? Yeah real elite.

[MousePhur]

@ugadawg92 You do realize that the women can't be infantry right....

[ugadawg92]

@MousePhur Um yea, what does that have to do with anything? The commercial is about the Marine Corps, not the Marine Corps Infantry. Calling anything "elite" that women can join and make it through is just funny.

[sh4rpsh0t33]

@ugadawg92 Any woman in the Marines could kill you in a matter of seconds.

[ugadawg92]

@sh4rpsh0t33 Haha that was funny!!!! Especially funny that you probably really believe that...

[sh4rpsh0t33]

@ugadawg92 I'm pretty sure that a volunteer at the Red Cross could take care of you pretty easily. So, I think it is pretty logical to say that a female Marine would make quick work of you.

[ugadawg92]

@sh4rpsh0t33 Well considering you don't know me, you can't say shit. I actually wrestled for 7 years and did pretty damn well. So maybe you should re-think your stupid-ass comment.

[sh4rpsh0t33]

@ugadawg92 I'm talking about a fight to the death lol. Anyhow, considering your page says you are joining the National Guard I definitely stand by my original statement haha.

[ugadawg92]

@sh4rpsh0t33 The Army National Guard fights just as much as Active Duty you ass hole. And I'm switching to Active duty Army soon anyway. In case you're wondering why this response was so late, it's because I just completed Army Basic Combat Training. I've actually stepped up and joined the service, what have you done?

[sh4rpsh0t33]

@ugadawg92 National guard units don't get deployed as often as active duty units. I won't argue that they don't get their fair share, but they definitely aren't sent over there quite as often. I am proud of you for joining the Army and I respect your service completely, but your original comment that says "the Marines should be embarrassed for this commercial for allowing women in it" is still plain foolish.

[ugadawg92]

@sh4rpsh0t33 That was not my comment, it's amazing how you could get that wrong when it's printed right in front of you. Anyway, I will say this. Being in the Army, I have noticed that the Army does have little discipline at times and that the Army allows some real unfit dirt bags into it's ranks. But there are also plenty of squared away motivated Soldiers out there. The Marines I have come across during my time on base have usually been fit & presented a good image. But I've only seen a few

[ugadawg92]

@sh4rpsh0t33 In the end, the Army was the better choice for me. So far I like most of it. And if I decide I don't like the Army later on, then I may go to the Marine Corps. But as of now I'm a proud Soldier. I'm not always proud to serve with some of the scum who passed the easy Basic Training, but I'm proud of what I am, and that's a US Soldier.

[MousePhur]

@ugadawg92 The Marines are elite because of their infantry....therefore women shouldn't even be in your debate about why the Marines aren't elite. You're joining national guard haha....you moron, you have no say in anything. I really don't even know what National Guard is there for, their pretty much just glorified local police.

[MousePhur]

@ugadawg92 They are separated from the men in boot camp so it makes it different.

[a9653192]

ffs i never got to fight the dragon. All i fought was sleep deprivation, Drill Instructors, and hunger.

[bigdenn93]

should of rolled into battle with a sword

[ChumpkinINC]

"Fucking dress blues commercial man. That got so many fucking dudes. Now look at us: Trombley hasn't killed anybody, I'm half a world away from good Thai pussy, and Colbert is out here rolling around fuckbutt Iraq hunting for dragons in a MOPP suit that smells like four days of piss and ball sweat."

[trainmanlars]

"You will be changed forever." In joining the marines, one may contract PTSD.

[trainmanlars]

"You will be changed forever." I believe this is a forced way of saying that in joining the marines, one may contract PTSD

[erttheking]

Is this an add for the Marines or the Space Marines?

[mooseywoosey1]

Airforce rides bikes at bootcamp. Enough said.

[Elephantintheroom01]

From Britian: What the FUCK is this SHIT!?

Are they training soldiers or super mario...

[lialos]

The Marine in this video was enlisted at the time of the video, but is now a LtCol. I first met him when he was a Captain, and he preferred to be remembered for his other accomplishments.

Great guy actually. The USMC always uses active duty Marines in its commercials.

[xCh34pShOtx]

Yea this was too corny....generation kill took me here :D

[j6cb]

Is this a real advert?

[Huhmasta]

THIS IS ONLY BASIC TRAINING!!! >:-)

[xSwaggaxVersace]

so this is basic training? shit i need to get ready lol

[zmorrison99]

So... every Marine recruit has to kill a Balrog?

[teencomment]

Kill the legions of Hell!

Join the Marines!

[MrSpeedDemon666]

this is pathetic

[Sesquipedaliantique]

This is a real ad? Christ on a bike.

[506paratrooper101]

ooh dress blues and a sword

[stuntmanmike714]

This is how a sub-par trained, underfunded, and unwanted branch recruits young stupid kids. Funny. When they get there they are like,"fuck this sucks, old gear, sub-par training" if any after boot lol. Go Army, Navy, or Air force.

[tubesockcrack]

@stuntmanmike714 yeah and thats why the Marines do twice as much as the army navy and airforce with less than any of them you must be one of the people who go turned down by the Marine recruiter

[YaikonMetal]

@stuntmanmike714 ha, sorry bud but you're really fucking ignorant. Marine Corps training is alot tougher than Army Navy or Air force Look it up.

[xSwaggaxVersace]

@stuntmanmike714 Really Dude the marines my get shit but when all technology fails the marines know how to survive i doubt the army and Airforce can live without your precious luxuries and we get the best training out of all the armed forces

[Account8205]

Im sorry, but this commercial is just goddamn awesome. Perhaps not the most realistic ive seen, but by far the most entertaining.

[minderazor164]

Fucking officers cocky overachievers, some are cool though...

[USMCbadass1775]

@ MrMMA11 who saved your asses during world war 2 yeah the US so suck my marine dick you dumb britt

[mrParhamPFC]

@USMCbadass1775 you the dumb one for just saying that! lol

[xSwaggaxVersace]

dude this commercial was my childhood i so remeber this commercial now in a month i get to slay dragons in dress blues lol

[Stupidpublishers]

Hell, i'd join any organization where "Demon slaying on light-bridges made over magma pits with magic swords" was part of the job description. I don't CARE if i'm canadian.

[LordOfFilth]

Ahahahaahah!

[timelessthee]

[Milos2ek]

[philyburkhill1]

Join the marines. Kill innocent children and women while "ignorantly" looking after the interests of multinational corporations. Then hide behind "i'm just doing my job" much like people at concentration camps.

[MrMMA11]

[earthwormjah]

I respect the Marines...but......Join the Marines! Run through giant corkscrews, climb a giant rolling pin, drop acid and fight a lava terrorist with a sword!

[mle566]

[chickendippers1997]

I love the USMC , But this ad just makes it look silly. Royal Marines Commando ad's are real serious and this may have a moral to the story but , the story is just fucking lord of the rings?

[gregorstuhlbein]

Whoever falls for this shit deserves to die.

[imogenegiselle]

There had better be balrogs in Afghanistan or I'm suing for false advertisement
