OT Dr Pepper "Fansville" commercial
One of the new Dr Pepper college football "fansville" commercials riffs on M/OSU.
after some division alignment banter, she (dressed on red) hurls insults: "I hate you and your overrated school" and "we'll out recruit you". He (wearing navy and yellow that could be maize and blue) , dismissively "but we have higher academic standards".
I am betting a few of you see it the same way.

You have cable? OK Boomer

Actually the funniest Fansville ad is the one where they have cut the cord and are sitting around struggling to get signed into their steaming service to watch the game.
One of them says "I miss basic cable"

Wonderful thread. Will bookmark.

Super snarky, but you made me laugh. Plus one to you
September 9th, 2023 at 10:25 AM ^
I’m not normally snarky here. But then I figured what the hell.
September 8th, 2023 at 6:22 PM ^
Missed opportunity to include more teams.
A third fan dressed in green asks if he can join in their football banter, at which point the M & OSU fans just look at him, point, and laugh.
As they walk away laughing, they pass a curiously suntanned neighbor furiously building a fence around his garden and hysterically screaming "stay out, stay out".
As the commercial ends, they pass a deaf, dumb, and blind person in a lion costume (this might be going too far).
September 8th, 2023 at 8:31 PM ^
This is offensive… to deaf, dumb, and blind people.
September 8th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
Indeed!
September 8th, 2023 at 6:27 PM ^
I surprised Urbz wasn’t checking her oil level while she threw her dip cup at her boyfriend while flipping him off. Would have been a little more on brand.
September 8th, 2023 at 6:34 PM ^
Kate French is hot. That’s all I got.
September 8th, 2023 at 6:37 PM ^
Okay.

This is the commercial OP is talking about. Mascot goes to a "Tech" school that's leaving due to conference realignment.
September 8th, 2023 at 6:44 PM ^
Doesn't really look like M/OSU to me. Colors are generic college colors. Banter is also pretty generic. M and OSU aren't ever going to be in separate conferences.
That being said, the real reason I negged you was because you failed at the most important task related to this type of post: link to the commercial.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
Yeah - that was way too generic to reflect UM-OSU.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:49 PM ^
Also if they made it too close without permission they'd open themselves up to a lawsuit.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:23 AM ^
Only if they use the trademarked word “THE”
September 8th, 2023 at 6:48 PM ^
Does that creaky "Fansville" thing actually sell any Dr. Pepper?
September 8th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
John Wanamaker supposedly said “Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half.”
Meaning not only do I have no idea, but I don't think the Dr. Pepper people do either.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
Yes. I wanted to be a real fan so I went from not drinking pop to using Dr. Pepper for my cereal.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:25 AM ^
Meh. It’s fun so maybe. Jimmy Buffett never advertised land shark and I’ve graciously put one of his kids through school.
September 8th, 2023 at 6:49 PM ^
Our beloved message board has fallen so, so far. Complaining about Dr. Pepper commercials is a new low
September 8th, 2023 at 7:18 PM ^
Maybe not the worst - it may be one rung above the dog’s anal glad thread!
September 8th, 2023 at 7:37 PM ^
I just want to know if they are selling Michigan jerseys like hotcakes in Fansville? Never in a million years would I believe that, but it's a good start.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:04 PM ^
All I see is Natasha Marc
September 8th, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
If you have to focus on something… well, she’s very good to focus on…
September 8th, 2023 at 7:34 PM ^
They take little bits and pieces of college football arguments and blend them to relate to most major college football teams. You left out the part where the "red and white" cheerleader says "we own the head to head record". So it's clearly not about Michigan and Ohio State.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:36 PM ^
It's funny how OP's are never funny but the reactions crack me up. Please don't stop posting stupid ass threads.
September 8th, 2023 at 7:42 PM ^
Negged on principle.
September 9th, 2023 at 1:08 AM ^
Ditto. And for the life of me I can't figure out why people watch commercials. Deliberately. And then post about it. You know, the same commercials people bitch endlessly about TV adding more and more to every game.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
I'm old and can remember a time when there were some pretty funny commercials.(Many involving retired but well known athletes.)
September 8th, 2023 at 7:53 PM ^
I'm old enough to remember when they just came out and said it.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:31 AM ^
She was way out of his league, even without the diploma disparity.
September 8th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
why would you think this has anything to do w/ UM/OSU?
September 8th, 2023 at 8:54 PM ^
Why is OP getting negged so bad? I mean the post is meh, but really?
September 9th, 2023 at 7:26 AM ^
I think because it's a stupid post, and not very UM related, and not interesting, and a reference to a commercial, and ...
September 9th, 2023 at 9:48 AM ^
And didn't include a link.
September 8th, 2023 at 9:11 PM ^
I just learned yesterday that the Sheriff in the Fansville commercials is Brian (Boz) Bosworth, and not Kurt Rusell
September 8th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
I was kind of hoping this had something to do with Bryce Young's "mom."
September 8th, 2023 at 9:35 PM ^
I’m so desperate for Lions adulation that I watched a Jim Rome clip.😂
September 9th, 2023 at 2:39 AM ^
I liked it. Fansville is generally pretty funny and entertaining.
September 9th, 2023 at 9:21 AM ^
I support the companies that support college football.
Dr. Pepper is at the top of the list. A commercial about the Portal? "Rico's Time is Now!" That's commitment. That's not a commercial you can use anywhere else. They are not just mailing it in.
When I am at a fast food restaurant like Taco Bell that has self-serve Dr. Pepper, I deliberately pour some extra down the drain just to increase their sales.
