That's about all the schadenfreude there.

Mikl posted:Everyone will forget soon, Alan Bean was the best Apollo astronaut and I'll hear no different about it. Some Al Bean schadenfreude: Apollo 11 had carried only a monochrome TV camera with it. Al's Apollo 12 mission carried a full color camera and it was a big deal - live color TV from the surface of the moon! But poor Al didn't pay attention when setting it up and pointed it directly at the sun. The sensor fried before it could send back any imagery to earth. LOL Al was also very tired of his rookie status, so on a surface EVA he threw his rookie insignia as far away as he could. On the surface of the moon.

TotalLossBrain posted:Alan Bean was the best Apollo astronaut and I'll hear no different about it.  Schadenfreude - Al Bean is a fan of throwing things: quote:Bean had planned on using a self-timer for his Hasselblad camera in order to take a photograph of both himself and Pete Conrad while on the lunar surface near the Surveyor III spacecraft. Bean was hoping not only to record a wonderful photo, but also to confuse the scientists back home on how the photo could have been taken. However, neither he nor Conrad could locate the timer in the tool carrier tote bag while at the Surveyor III site and thus lost the opportunity. Bean did not locate the self-timer until the very end of the EVA when it was too late to use - at which point Bean threw it as hard as he could.

Wonder if the dude ever figured out he could crawl in through the trunk. Especially since that looks like a hatchback, but even sedans usually have a fold-down back seat nowadays.

Arby's has had their social media people doing nerd and video game references non-stop since September 2015, but they've succeeded and practically doubled their shares on Facebook (meaning double the attention they normally get) by doing a bunch of really creative and elaborate sculptures with food packaging.

Hell, they don't even have to be particularly creative. Just pop something like this out on the right day and you'll have a fandom eating out of your hand: https://twitter.com/arbys/status/776446255757037568?lang=en (For those not in the know, Undertale was released 15 Sep 2015)

Powered Descent posted:Wonder if the dude ever figured out he could crawl in through the trunk. Especially since that looks like a hatchback, but even sedans usually have a fold-down back seat nowadays. Years and years ago, I was out with friends but I wasn't really feeling it so I wanted to leave. One of my peeps said I could sleep in his car & I was drunk enough to figure whatever. So I get to his car and realize I didn't have the keys, called him up & he was like "just use any old key. It's a piece of poo poo and the lock's busted anyway". I put in my dorm door key & promptly break it in the lock. That was the driver's side door. The passenger side door was busted from some earlier accident, so in the end we had to get in the trunk & kick the backseats forward to crawl over them. What a lovely car.

So would people rather these brands act like out of touch old people or stiff PR weirdos like they had been for the last seventy years? Because if they're clearly never going to shut up and vanish from Earth, at least they can be somewhat amusing or relevant in the process.

I think it's funny even if it is a major corporation allowing some teen to fight with another one online, while wearing the company handle. Like if they did real life slap fights while wearing Wendy's and Hardee's shirts, I'd still think it was a wonderful thing to witness. They hired really good teens to do this poo poo, and their gamble worked. Play to your crowd, no one is actually brand loyal enough to give a poo poo about any company's politics, exemplified by the continued existence of Chick-fil-A or Hobby Lobby.

In north Oklahoma City there was a dude that used to spin the $5 HOT N READY sign outside of Little Caesars very vigorously. He had long hair, big headphones, and would headbang and rock out spinning and throwing that sign for hours at a time. He even wore grooves through the grass and deep into the dirt in the spot he stood doing it. I never bought a pizza there, but I'd always honk and wave and it made me smile to see someone having fun with their job. I feel the same way looking at the Dark Souls dude in papercraft bursting from a box of fries. Someone probably had fun being creative and making that and I like that. Points for enthusiasm.

They once made a scale model of Master Chief's helmet from cut-up sandwich boxes. It's all made of interlocking parts carefully pieced together.

These look pretty excellent, especially when the alternative is tone def adds like that Pepsi-Black Lives one. I don't think these are so much marketing attempts as they are PR strategies. They seem less like huge soulless corporations when their public face says poo poo like this. https://twitter.com/DennysDiner/status/849712823513034753

It's not schadenfreude but it is (I think) fremdschamen. I just saw that the Pepsi Twitter account has 3 million followers and is full of the most banal, overproduced advertising possible. Seriously, I'm vicariously embarrassed for any non-corporate, non-bot accounts who would follow them. What's the point?

JB Hi-Fi does this kind of marketing well. They just give their staff sharpies and cardboard and let them have free reign to do all the in-store signage and advertising.

The guy behind Vet Ranch (a youtube channel that frequently shows off graphic veterinary procedures) and Demolition Ranch (that shows off a dude shooting the poo poo out of things) is upset that his videos can't be seen if you turn on Restricted Mode, a switch that parents can use to... you know, prevent your kids from seeing the inside of an animal's body being worked on, or someone shooting the poo poo out of stuff with guns.

God forbid people learn what the inside of an animal looks like or *gasp* see a gun! Our children must be sheltered from such disgusting and uncivilized things  Of course we should hide lgbt people too. Don't wanna have Timmy asking awkward questions!
