Maybe not as marketing but kt might work for management asscovering and general corporate saving face

We are the Invisible Spatula. We are the Grilluminati. We eat before and after dinner. We eat forever. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the dining room.
Patton Oswalt awakened in the night to find that his room was illuminated by a spectral glow. Levitating above his bed was the spirit of Oswalt's deceased wife clad in a shimmering white robe. She smiled as she held her arms out to her husband.

"My love! You've returned!" Patton cried as he moved to embrace her.

Suddenly the door crashed open. In walked a massive woman in a lovely jumpsuit with "Patty" embroidered on the breast. "Aw hell naw! Hold it right there before I bust some plasma in your rear end!" she screamed problematically.

A small scrawny woman wearing a matching uniform burst in behind Patty, licking the barrel of a giant futuristic weapon. "This is gonna hurt in the morning!" she shouted, blasting the terrified ghost with a round from her plasma bazooka.

The spirit screamed in agony as it exploded into a mass of ectoplasmic goo, coating everything in the room.

"Oh poo poo, it's all up in my pussy!" the scrawny woman whined.

Patton sobbed. The love of his life was now destroyed in every possible way, but he knew what must be done. He crawled across the floor and began polishing Patty's boots with his tongue. "Thank you, you brave, strong, well-developed characters," he said like a little bitch while swallowing chunks of his wife's immortal soul. "I'll buy everything you're selling! I need to be on the right side of history!"

"Mmm-hmm, that's right," Patty mumbled. "Be sure to get under the laces too."

truth about stand up comedians is that most of them have one funny act and then later on have to stay relevant

that's why patton and sarah silverman and so many others don't do comedy anymore, they do social justice now, it's easier to write

comedy is hard work.

Ron White is a perfect example of this. His first special was hilarious but everything else has been poo poo.

But I guess we'll probably never see Ron White freak out about transgendered representation and block people in comics. Doesn't seem like his...thing

A lot of modern comedians are finding more success just feeding their audience's opinions back to them then they ever did when they tried to be funny. They've essentially become pundits.

I think the whole, moving back in with your parents after college, and defining yourself by the media you consume have lead to people not viewing themselves as adults.

I know I've said this a few times, but I'm still sort of hazarding a guess that there will be some Real Ghostbusters nod at some point other than Rowan looking just like the big walkin' ghost from the cartoon opening.

If the post-credits scene turned out to not be the Zuul thing and was instead an animated remake, shot-for-shot, of the Real Ghostbusters opening, same style and everything, just using the new characters in it, I'm sure it even the haters would sort of get some admitted smile out of the film going that far and it would be something (love the film or hate) you'd probably stay through the end credits to see or give a 5M hits on Youtube to watch.

Post credits, truly post credits, give you time to let the film end, go to the restroom, get a refill on your popcorn and drinks, get back to the theater, watch a 10-120 second scene that you walk out to your car and tell your friend, "Well, that wasn't worth sticking around for..."

This seems like a problem that has its roots well in a person's past, since I'm not sure moving back home, for whatever reason, would be cause to become a blend of entitled and emotionally stunted. It's super easy to put a bubble around oneself today and basing identity around consumption probably doesn't help. Seems like a bad trend.

Also post-credit scenes are dumb.

As the last of the credits rolls by, the jubilant ghost of Bill Murray floats on screen. "The movie is over! My contractual obligations are fulfilled! Finally, I'm free!" Bill flips off the audience as he ascends to heaven or maybe Disneyworld. "I NEVER HAD FAITH IN THIS PROJECCCCTTT~~~"
