The following is a commercial for the former, hosted on the latter. It's kind of like the perfect storm of internet commentary. And it makes my job (metaphorical job, not get-paid-job) way too easy. I don't even have to try.
This commercial for Call of Duty: The Next One shows that everyone likes to kill people. I think. I'm pretty sure that is the point of this commercial. In my humble opinion, (which is always right, if you're keeping track) this is kind of a creepy premise for a commercial. I think the game is better served by showing actual gameplay trailers like this one:
You know, trailers that actually show that the game looks pretty incredible? That might be a good idea, instead of focusing on the creepy effects that video games have on people. Just saying.
The result of the first video is polarizing. People who weren't interested in the game get even more put-off by its concept, and people who have the game pre-ordered get a handjob and a pat on the back. The result of the second video is the same for both parties: "Wow, that looks pretty cool."
But of course, you didn't come here for my opinions. You came here to read the opinions of people who actually matter, the YouTube commenters. This is now possible, thanks to wonders of comment-aggregation-technology!
Huzzah!
So YouTube and Call of Duty and YouTube fans, what did you think of the live action Call of Duty: Black Ops commercial?
Uh... okay. Sure you do! Anybody else?
Wow. This is one of the special ones. I have a feeling we'll be hearing from jul420 again.
First of all: PROOFREAD. You almost came off as semi-literate.
Secondly, and most importantly: Dude. Fuck off. We don't need any actual insight here. Or did you miss the part where Jimmy Kimmel has a rocket launcher? God. I need to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Hit me with another comment, quick!
Thank you. That's so much better. I... I can't help but tear up. This comment has it all, in such an efficient package: Homophobic slurs, no punctuation and perfect encapsulation of the essence of a text message from 2002.
jul420 is an All Star Commenter. Who dares follow him?
Exquisite. Despite your utterly incongruous name (maybe swap names with the dude two comments up) you sir, have stepped up to the challenge, and seen it through. Let no one tell you that the trend of saying something "funny" about the amount of people who "dislike-buttoned" a video is secretly very lame.
There it is. Absolutely outstanding. And you even felt the need to get the ball rolling on the laughter; priming the pump, as it were, for the inevitable cavalcade of chortling that will follow the reading of your prose.
Want more racist puns? Look no further!
It's funny because "black" is in the game title, and people of African descent are commonly referred to as "black people." You see what he did there? It should also be noted that the person he's referring to is five -time NBA champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Kobe Bryant. But you wouldn't expect him to be up on that bit of cultural relevance.
And now, sadly, we must end this post. Not with a bang, but with perhaps the most fitting comment imaginable:
Indeed. This has been Comment-Agregation Theater: Black Ops.
Thank you, and goodnight.
