Wow... I wonder what this commercial would look like if it was Sue ordering a Big Mac at McDonalds..... I don't think I want to see what happens behind the scenes... anyways... I enjoy Starbucks myself and would love to think that they would do all that for me... plus they should offer free gift cards more often like the one at
peerfly.com/x/0/4091/50223/
Now that would be fantastic for all coffee lovers!
Great video. I am currently making a research project about STARBUCKS at university. If anyone would like to help, please complete my online survey! It will take about 5mins, it's fun, and by doing so, you are demonstrating altruistic behavior :)
SO much made out of so little. If more Americans travelled they'd realise just how very second rate so much of American culture really is.. . Coffee, food-- Americans only think it's good because they dont know the real thing.There are no Starbucks in Italy.
And a trip to Vienna would soon show you what a real coffee house is like. Starbucks is the McDonaldisation of European coffee houses with some Italian names thrown in for good measure. But isnt it just glorified instant coffee?
See, I'm a big Freelance Whales fan, and I saw all these comments on videos saying their song was in some Starbucks commercial. So I sent myself here because I have good taste in music.
So I heard this commercial and I liked the song. I also must add that I love Darren Criss… But anyways! I heard this and thought it was Owl City so I decided to look it up and see who it was who sang this. Once I figured out it was Darren Criss's brother's band, I was like woahh...
@ChillyOnUtube I am pretty sure that the girl in the zoosk commercial was a redheaded white lady not an asian looking girl...??? I'll check this out to make sure
ok.. I see you are talking about the lady who was in front of the computer. :)
Wow I was right, I've only heard one song by Freelance Whales and I just knew the song sounded exactly like them. Guess that's how unique sounding they are. :o
dm8711 .... Thanks for the confirmation. Our 180 Vets Group had heard that the commercial was shot in Long Beach but until now we were unable to confirm that location.
Love this commercial. Is Sue overlooking The CIty (aka San Francisco) or elsewhere? I really liked it the most at the end where Sue looks like she's in the Berkeley or Oakland Hills overlooking the Bay and The City. Guess that's why it worked for me, as does your coffee. Keep on roasting those "easy on the stomach" coffees you make. My new fave coffee is Tribute, but I am a Caramel Mac-addict most of the time.
I believe the black ship "SUE" in the commercial is the former 180-foot Coast Guard buoy tender SORREL. Lost track of her after the Stockton Sea Scouts had to give her up due to some change in California insurance laws. Does anyone know or recognize where the scenes of the coffee being loaded on the ship were filmed?
@buoyjumper It was filmed at the Long Beach Shipyards. You are looking South at Terminal Island and I-710. Google Earth coordinates are 33 46' 16.06 N 118 12.67.13 W However I haven't found the ship yet anywhere in the Harbor.
Ah! I love the freelance whales, I was so psyched when I saw this commercial today for the first time. They are amazing to see live, it just feels like music is being created around you lol. I know that sounds dumb, but you would agree if you saw them.
But they end up giving it to another person ..... :D

Our limbs have been asleep we need to get the blood back in 'em

We keep on churning and the lights inside the house turned on
And in our native language we are chanting ancient songs
And when we quiet down the house chants on without us
