Samsung Ad: Bend to those that are worthy

[sonicrobby]

I think the ad is overplaying the bend issue as it is more just exaggeration. But samsung playing on it is ingenious!

This is so stupid! Maybe one day they can focus on their own devices.

Let's get real people. This was pretty damn funny.

It's sad that you laugh when Apple takes a nudge against other makers, but you don't laugh when others strike back. Live a little.

 

[Hexaea]

That's kind of funny honestly.

 

[barondebxl]

This is actually a very clever add and Apple deserves it. We all know that Apple would pounce all over the competition with snarky remarks if the tables were turned. In every keynote Apple attempts to throw "clever" jabs. Yes, I'm an Apple user, no, I'm not an irrational fanboy.

Exactly. With that being said i think apple should change their name. From apple to banana....

Ignoring this fan made pic, but imagine if Samsung instead of wasting money on their attack ads and used it for R&D to actually develop a better product.

 

[LadyX]

Saw it coming really. Very funny though.

 

[penajmz]

This is not official but it should be. Its funny and Apple deserves it.

Can you show me where Apple has taken a nudge at other makers in the past year? Two examples would do. I'm not being funny, I was just curious.

Read Cook's post on security. Direct and subtle jabs about Google's tracking and data collection.

Does that count, though? I'm referring to ad base. Eric (Google) didn't have all nice things to say about Apple. I expect CEO's and high rank execs to jab each other. I would like a marketing (visual) example.

The CEO of one of the largest companies on the planet, publishes two paragraphs about information security. That doesn't count?

In this case, yes. Any visual examples though? Like commercials? Etc.

Of all the ways they could have mentioned bendgate this was well done. Make me want to go buy a Samsung. Ok, maybe not.

 

[ericschmerick]

Funny! Well done.

 

[Phokus]

This is funny and anyone who doesn't think so needs surgery to install a funny bone in their body

 

[willmtaylor]

Got to admit, Samsung does have a good public relations department.

No, they don't.

They usually don't amount to much more than the following:

"But we did it first!"

"I know you are, but what am I?/I'm rubber you're glue..."

"Nanny nanny boo boo, you can't sue us!"

"Guys...hey guys...look what I can do...."

*crickets*

 

[jamezr]

No, no they don't. Their advertisements make them look desperate.

Like Apple in the " I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercials? Or were those funny when the shoe was....well you get it........

Samsung didn't make this....it was an individual......

 

[The Game 161]

Even apple fans must get a :chuckle out of this surely.

 

[spinedoc77]

That's hilarious! I still think anyone who moans and cries about a company that wants their money making fun of another company who wants there money is a moron. It's advertising, much of which is mainly to have the brand name stick in your head when you go to make a purchase. This being MR forums though of course we need to have a 119 page thread about it with people fighting tooth and nail.

Twitter is blowing up about #BendGate

[dojoman]

Did people even read the article? That was created by a fan. Not officially from Samsung.

This is what Samsung tweeted.

https://twitter.com/SamsungMobile/status/515074944485449728

The official tweet wasn't even good. It said curve but it's only curve on the edge. Tweet from LG made a lot more sense with curve display.
Samsung's PR isn't even creative in one thing that they're good at, making fun of Apple. Let alone come up with innovative in making phones.

 

[Oohara]

LOL that's so crude it's funny

Now if only they had another Note 4 coming from behind with its S Pen at the ready.... .......(sorry)

 

[KellydenAdel]

Well it has started. Forums-videos-news outlets-Samsung Ads.

While the antenna issues on the 4 May be a lot worse, this issue is being blown out of proportion a lot more than most of the iPhone release issues.
