I have three things to say: 1. Ronald McDonald did have a direct to video movie series and it would be perfect for Critic's "Was That Real?" series. 2. The M&M's and the Lost Formula computer game was a pretty good platformer. 3. A KZfaqr named Pogo made a really awesome remix using the M&M's commercials called "Bite Sized Candies".

You know, I feel like this is the type of content I want to see from KZfaqrs. Not chasing any specific trends, but making content out of a desire or passion. This feels like something that Doug & Rob made because they were interested and made their own observations on the M&Ms. It doesn't necessarily matter that the video maybe has some opinions that you disagree with, what matters is the fact that this video topic and the way it's presented is something you don't see from other places. Love you Channel Awesome

TBT, I think a lot of Doug's videos are about talking about things they're passionate about, even if they are trending like Doug's videos on modern animation.
@kylemorello4787 5 жыл бұрын
Honestly, people call out Doug for doing non nostalgic subjects, but I think it makes the show more interesting. He's basically comparing the what worked in the past to what works now. His videos now not only help me appreciate good art of the past, but also makes me happy to be living in a world with the kind of art we have now, like a world where a friggin candy brand can lead to multidemensional cartoon characters that are beloved by both kids and adults. I doubt that would ever happen before the 80s or nineties. It's what makes me agree with him about making a movie or at least a TV show with them. We're living in a world where Lego can be seen as a true art form or storytelling device! Honestly, as much as I liked Doug's review of foodfight, one thing I would state if I reviewed it that very few people do, is that the idea has potential. It had a chance to take these one dimensional food mascots and make them fully fleshed out characters, and they blew it.

I think Green M&M and Miss Brown M&M are supposed to be two different ideas of what's empowering to women. The femme fatale who feels her sensuality is empowering and free from restrictions or shamed for her promiscuity. Then Miss business who shows a successful female character who is not sexualized but large and in charge. That said, you have persuaded me I have a newfound appreciation for these long cherished mascot characters.

I might be in the minority here, but I think Warner bros animation could do the brand justice. After all, The Lego movies were huge hits (for a short time). As long as they get a good story for it ( not to mention avoid the problem that befell the later Lego movies with franchise fatigue), and this could be their next big hit. And besides: this sounds like a way more interesting idea than the Funko movie in production. Yes really, that's going to be a thing in future. yay 😪

As much as we hate being sold to, sometimes we forget how much of an art marketing can be at times; especially when it's not invasive or degrading. These M&M commercials don't feel like we're being sold anything because they're just downright fun. If anyone's interested, there's a great podcast called Under the Influence that really explores marketing from an insider's perspective. It really makes you appreciate and respect the shit out of advertising.

In my opinion, there's one more reason why M&M sketches are more than commercials. M&M doesn't actually NEED any advertising nowadays. Everybody knows what it is. Yet they still make those. True, there are other examples of "making commercials just in case" (McDonalds, Coca-Cola), but the huge difference is that there are actual Characters, as you've already pointed out. And since the characters here are fleshed out and they don't need to heavily advertise the product (just a reminder would do), I guess they simply have fun with these commercials. ANd that's why they are so good.

I'll be honest, I knew Blue was one of the characters but I had absolutely no idea what his personality was. It probably comes from the fact that I haven't seen any of his original commercials, but it seems like they completely gave up on him after his concept flopped and while he may still be in some commercials, he has no lines or actions that define him at all, he's just a background character now.

Doug, a little feedback regarding the charity shoutouts - I don't skip them because they're after the credits, I skip them because the overwhelming majority of them are US-only. They either don't accept donations from outside the US or are focused on helping people within the US. A few times I've seen international charities, but they're few and far in between. Granted, I've been skipping them for a while now, maybe things have changed, but I'd love to see more charities which help out internationally.

God damn this video is everything I love about Doug and NC I general. It’s a very strange and specific idea for a video but creative and still very informative and analytical. It’s very easy to listen to and even though it’s more of an editorial it still has a lot humor and jokes put in. Even the ad for the paid promotion is funny (and the product is generally useful and relatable). And of course Doug always makes room to raise awareness for a good cause. Just keep being you Doug, and the rest of the NC staff too.

I'll be honest, I think what cemented them was the Christmas ad. A good Christmas ad is what you need to cement a character like this. Everyone knows the M&M christmas ad, just like everyone knows the coca cola bear or the budweiser clydesdales. They were good characters, but those come and go. What kept them around was that ad, which cemented them as icons.
