Warhammer marketing: A TV spot with A-team's Murdock?

[Methos]

I bet that would get a lot of people playing.

Or would that be too obvious?

 

[SonicBorg]

i doubt it, as majority of the younger generation wont know who he is, majority of the older generation (25+) will think what the hell is he doing. It's not like using Mr.T.

They dont need a famous name to the advertisement, they just need to have it "sponsoring" a tv show for a while. Like before Star trek, SG, or some other sci-fi/fantasy tv prog. Like you often see COD or various other games done.

 

[Methos]

In Holland TV channels still beat people to death with A-team re-runs during dinnertime though

and Blizzard would be all over them for copying their advert with Mr T

Sorry mate, I'm not even 25 (22 atm) but I still remember the A-team as if it was yesterday 20+

Depends how they spin it. Fair use covers satire They probably can't do the whole script in the same theme.

Shame George Peppard ain't still around, could have had him just saying "I love it when a plan comes together." at the end of a keep take

and "Game over man, Game over!" for the losing side

Hardly worthy of nerdpoints to be honest, that's just pop culture that alot of people know about not just nerds.

 

[AngelHeal]

yup yup

such a nerd

Who???

I'd use something 20 years more current and that has a stronger following in Europe.

 

[bobfish]

Like who? European TV is so diverse who would you get to do it?

I liked the LOTRO TV advert more than the WoW ones, but I could imagine a shaven headed Brian Blessed making a good War Priest for the Empire.

 

[Downanael]

I'm 23 and i have never seen a single episode of A-team,wanna try & beat that?

Pop culture IS nerdy. Don't claim that nerdiness is purely subcultural, because for the most part it is not. Ultimately, everybody is a nerd, because nobody walks the fine line of being "interested but THAT interested" in everything they come across.

Doesn't have to be european but needs to be something with a more current following and wider following than "murdock" whoever that might be.
Mr T is known to everyone due to the "I pity the fool" bit. Murdock probably only to the people who were avid a-team fans.
Something like Captain Picard (James Stewart) or similar would probably work better.

Sorry but I have to say this but I would pay to see James Stewart play a starship captain.

Patric Stewart I mean.
