(video) MONDAY COMMERCIAL SMACKDOWN: Do NOT View This If Profanity Offends

I’m not kidding. This video is filled with X-rated profanity.

If that will offend you, please don’t watch the video.

And no, I’m not employing some sly “teaser’ gimmick here. If you view this video and are offended by the language, please remember that I gave you fair warning.

I’ve long preached that with radio advertising — with any advertising — you want to advertise to the people who are most likely to buy your product or service.

If you’re advertising big juicy steaks, you don’t worry that your commercial will alienate vegetarians.

This movie theater brilliantly shows the world why many people would enjoy their way of doing things.

And it tells another group of people, “You really wouldn’t like it here.”

(Oh — I did warn you about the bad language, right?)

    I love it! Particularly the way the music kicks in at the end – perfect choice. Like a comedy punctuator. Although I did think to myself part of the way through that I wondered if it was a real caller or someone reading from a script as I thought the delivery on a couple of bits sounded a little “read”.

    Priceless, now if they could get the jerk that is IN EVERY THEATRE to quit kicking my seat, now that would be awesome, oh and not charge me 12 dollars for a bag of M&M’s yeah that would be sweet. Bet that intro trailer gets lots of laughs in the R-Rated films, what do you bet it “accidentally” gets played during the G-Rated kids films,, moms will go ballistic.

    Magnificent! After doing a little more research…

    * They don’t show ads before the films
    * They don’t allow unaccompanied minors
    * With the exception of non-crossover kids movies or select screenings, they don’t allow any children under 6.
    * They serve beer.
    * And we already know about their strict No-Talk No-Text policy with the proof to back up that claim.

    It’s no wonder they’ve experienced growth most small businesses only dream of. Of course, Alamo Drafthouse has clear USPs that answer the question, “Why should I spend my money with you instead of one of your competitors?” While most small businesses think their USP is “large selection, great service, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.”

    like my good friend charlie sheen would say “Alamo Drafthouse? WINNING!”
