OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
They actually paid out over $30k to a customer who sold them a PSA graded Pokemon card valued at a bit over $33k just recently. That's in line with their 90% instant buyback offer for the new Powerpack trading card sales.
They also offer higher trade in values on everything else these days and even more if you're a pro member.
As a Goth since the 90s and still going I agree, that's kind of why I mentioned, amongst Goth fetishists. She seems more metal than Goth going by her insta.
The ad worked.. had no idea GameStop was still around. You know.. especially because they tried to tell the government they were an “essential business” during COVID lockdowns.
Gamestop's biggest competitor is reality. Their traditional business is dead and they are trying to pivot to anything else. Selling consoles and physical copies of games is not enough to maintain a national chain in 2025. That market is only suited to supporting smaller owner run indie game shops that cater to retro gamers at this point. Gamestop became a giant reselling used games at an insane margin but that market barely exists any more. Best Buy could close tomorrow and it wouldn't really change their situation.
I mean the earning report show a story of the company being run better, as in lower operating costs, but also of declining sales. Its good news to see the operating costs come down but they are not growing in the market. Which if that tend continues, then it would be described as the strong management of a dying company. Really need to see how sales stack up over the next year to see if triming all the fat paid off.
I just looked it up and unless the Google summary is wrong IDK what that has to do with my comment. Revenue down since last year, collectables now make up almost 1/3 of their revenue, and they closed a bunch of stores. Okay? What am I supposed to be seeing here?
It could have worked if they were willing to make hard decisions and actually look at their data. I worked there for ten years, and I ran my own store for the last three.
During my final year, we had access to Power BI dashboards that showed how every store was performing. You could see profitability broken down by product categories cards, video games, collectibles, etc. It was a very useful tool.
Roughly 60% of stores lost money every year. The problem was that some stores were too close to others, so customers naturally went to the nicer locations. Other stores were out on their own but never received the product they needed to sell. My store was profitable because it was in a backwoods town where we were the only place within an hour to buy cards or games. We ranked in the top 200 pretty regularly.
Another store in our district constantly struggled because they never got product. GameStop basically wrote them off: they wouldn’t keep them stocked, but they also never closed them. They’d get three boxes of product a week while I’d get forty. I would reroute product to them, and they’d be profitable that week.
What they needed to do was use that data support the stores that could make money, keep them stocked, and then close the bottom 40%. It would have sucked, but it would have kept the company alive a lot longer.
The company is terribly mismanaged because no one above the DM level understands what it’s like in-store. They kept trying new initiatives when they should have leaned into collectibles and retro games.
I wasn’t even allowed to display old video games; only certain stores were allowed to have those displays, which was ridiculous.
In the end, it was the corporate stooges that prevented its success.
Whoa mama! Hummina hummina hummina bazooooooooing! eyes pop out AROOOOOOOOGA! jaw drops tongue rolls out WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF tongue bursts out of the mouth uncontrollably leaking face and everything in reach WURBLWUBRLBWURblrwurblwurlbrwubrlwburlwbruwrlblwublr tiny cupid shoots an arrow through heart Ahhhhhhhhhhh me lady... heart in the shape of a heart starts beating so hard you can see it through shirt ba-bum ba-bum ba-bum ba-bum ba-bum*
Tbf, neither ad is anything special. They basically just hired a hot goth girl and gave her some of the most generic scripts ever, and she probably just wanted the money.
If this is a real tweet this comes across as kinda icky tbh. Like the memes are already borderline sexual harassment but thats her actual employing company doing that.
I feel like every male dominated demographic has a large portion of misogynists. Kinda what happens when you have a lot of men in one spot.
Like I bet if she was selling Ford pickup trucks youd have a divorced former marine electrician say he'd eat the corn out of her shit if she asked him.
I am sadly blind and accepting of that behavior cause its behind a screen and I bet most of those men would respectfully shake her hand and maybe ask her how the job is treating her in real life.
The fact her company is making awooga noises at her is a little more real.
Also her hair is framing her neck to make it appear longer. I don’t know how they can look at this photo and overlook all of that information and only come to the conclusion that her neck must just be super long!
Pretty sure GameStop would’ve gone bankrupt if a bunch of online self proclaimed “apes” (they said “apes together strong”) didn’t forcefully buy insane amounts of stock because they wanted to go “to the moon.” I think their success is artificial. :/
You're aware the value of a stock doesn't tell the financial situation of a company, right?
There are tons of failing companies being pumped and dumped on the daily. Even companies that are doing well financially are still artificially pumped and manipulated. If we were going on stock prices alone, then you would think Tesla is doing better than Amazon and is on par with tech giants like Microsoft.
Stock price isn't a useless indicator, but it's not a good one in 2025.
They have about 8+ billion in cash and have been profitable for the past year. They are making hundreds of millions by just owning that cash on interest alone
But yes. Making this commercial with her won't turn their fortunes around.
No surprise that this woman is being objectified by a trash company like GameStop and a trash CEO scumbag nepobaby like Ryan Cohen, and yes I hate this man and his company.
That's Rilie Huntley. She did an ad for Best Buy a while back and it went stupid viral. Now GameStop got her to do an ad for them and they're rubbing it in Best Buy's face.
Tell 16-year-old-me that instead of flying cars we'd get corporations posting sexist memes at each other on the new Nazi website and I think I would have jumped.
Did she ever even work for either company? I don't know any of the lore, and never saw the commercials before now, but from an actors point of view... Times are hard right now. If her non compete clause from the Best Buy commercial was over, there's no reason for her not to take another commercial gig

I didnt know Best Buy was a redditor
I wish I had friends terminally online and fucked up enough to appreciate this
She did an ad for Best Buy several years ago and went viral. Now she’s doing an ad for GameStop.
Never seen either ad or her 😅
Best Buy Girl AdGame Stop Girl Ad
Oof. That Game Stop ad sounds and looks like it had a $30 budget.
Yah ..this acting seems like a high school project 😂😂
There's not even pretending for acting. She is just saying her text
In fairness to her, I don't know how you "act" that text.
yeah that's what i'm saying. She's not there to act like the stuff she is saying is funny or something she is just saying her texte
I know what best buys had and I know what GameStop does so both got the message across.
Honest advertisement lmao
It was actually only $35 in store credit.
🥴 it’s GameStop mate, your looking at a good $10 store credit. If your girl won’t screw you, GameStop sure will
They actually paid out over $30k to a customer who sold them a PSA graded Pokemon card valued at a bit over $33k just recently. That's in line with their 90% instant buyback offer for the new Powerpack trading card sales.
They also offer higher trade in values on everything else these days and even more if you're a pro member.
To be fair, it accurately matches the Best Buy one for the mocking they were going for
So does the Best Buy one tho. Isn't that the whole point? Even the music is the same.
It's GameStop, that's literally their entire FY25 marketing budget
They used the same BGM music as the best buy ad, I think it was meant to ride the virality
That's the Best Buy ad
Click the second half of the URL, it's the Game Stop ad. They didn't put a space between URLs.
They used the exact same music lol
In order to get the links on two lines you have to add two spaces after the first line, hit enter, then paste the second line.
Best Buy Girl Ad
Game Stop Girl Ad
Like so :ayaya:
My man showing me the ways of reddit! Thank you
I'm feeling like an old dad, all I see is bad posture.
Stand up straight while presenting, kiddo! You look ridiculous!
These are both terrible and none of this is noteworthy in any way
Here is the best buy ad, that went viral for having a Goth girl amongst the Goth girl fetishists.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI-xI6QNIxn/?igsh=MWN4amx3MDh5a3J4
"E-girl" is hardly goth though
As a Goth since the 90s and still going I agree, that's kind of why I mentioned, amongst Goth fetishists. She seems more metal than Goth going by her insta.
Fuck man, that's even better.
"Goth girl" is overplayed among gooners and the e-girls that want to appeal to them.
Contrasted with metal- or rivetheads.
Man at this point my standards are so low, woman is an optional point now
Lol same. I am not online enough for this shit.
Is two several?
The ad worked.. had no idea GameStop was still around. You know.. especially because they tried to tell the government they were an “essential business” during COVID lockdowns.
Where have you been? There have been literal movies made
I know it's felt like 10 years since the inauguration, but 2023 was only 2 years ago lol
This girl is pretty, it was a smart choice to "steal" her

Gamestop's biggest competitor is reality. Their traditional business is dead and they are trying to pivot to anything else. Selling consoles and physical copies of games is not enough to maintain a national chain in 2025. That market is only suited to supporting smaller owner run indie game shops that cater to retro gamers at this point. Gamestop became a giant reselling used games at an insane margin but that market barely exists any more. Best Buy could close tomorrow and it wouldn't really change their situation.
I would like to direct you to the latest earnings report, which came out only a few days ago.
$$$
I mean the earning report show a story of the company being run better, as in lower operating costs, but also of declining sales. Its good news to see the operating costs come down but they are not growing in the market. Which if that tend continues, then it would be described as the strong management of a dying company. Really need to see how sales stack up over the next year to see if triming all the fat paid off.
They made $50m on $800m revenue with a $10B market cap. It’s Tesla level idiotic.
I just looked it up and unless the Google summary is wrong IDK what that has to do with my comment. Revenue down since last year, collectables now make up almost 1/3 of their revenue, and they closed a bunch of stores. Okay? What am I supposed to be seeing here?
It could have worked if they were willing to make hard decisions and actually look at their data. I worked there for ten years, and I ran my own store for the last three.
During my final year, we had access to Power BI dashboards that showed how every store was performing. You could see profitability broken down by product categories cards, video games, collectibles, etc. It was a very useful tool.
Roughly 60% of stores lost money every year. The problem was that some stores were too close to others, so customers naturally went to the nicer locations. Other stores were out on their own but never received the product they needed to sell. My store was profitable because it was in a backwoods town where we were the only place within an hour to buy cards or games. We ranked in the top 200 pretty regularly.
Another store in our district constantly struggled because they never got product. GameStop basically wrote them off: they wouldn’t keep them stocked, but they also never closed them. They’d get three boxes of product a week while I’d get forty. I would reroute product to them, and they’d be profitable that week.
What they needed to do was use that data support the stores that could make money, keep them stocked, and then close the bottom 40%. It would have sucked, but it would have kept the company alive a lot longer.
The company is terribly mismanaged because no one above the DM level understands what it’s like in-store. They kept trying new initiatives when they should have leaned into collectibles and retro games.
I wasn’t even allowed to display old video games; only certain stores were allowed to have those displays, which was ridiculous.
In the end, it was the corporate stooges that prevented its success.
I would bet Walmart sells more consoles than bestbuy
She is even prettier now on the Gamestop ad.
Tiktok done stolt her
Holy shit she's fucking bad as hell

It's normal to find people attractive
There are appropriate ways to express that you find someone attractive. What you wrote is not that.
How about

It really isn't that complicated.
What's wrong with it? It's not like I said, "I wanna ram my cock up her ass" or something along those lines.
Eh it wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t written like HR would want it, but the actual information conveyed is normal.

Average? If only.
Right??!!
It’s working!
Tbf, neither ad is anything special. They basically just hired a hot goth girl and gave her some of the most generic scripts ever, and she probably just wanted the money.
yeah her performance isn't really good but that wasn't the goal of the ad anyways
Redditors still don’t know how make up works, it seems.
Go outside once in a while man
I go outside all the time. Your argument is built on nothing.
Plot twist: the joke wasn’t confusing my brain just needed Peter to hold its hand through it.
Does she also play "Pretty goth-girl with messy car"?
The guy worst part is I know the exact clip you're referencing....
I’m intrigued but I fear it’s morbid curiosity
Yes, "play" hmm yes quite
Her name is Rilie Huntley for those wondering
My humble thanks. (Definitely wasn't wondering at all.)
If this is a real tweet this comes across as kinda icky tbh. Like the memes are already borderline sexual harassment but thats her actual employing company doing that.
I mean, one of the biggest demographics that are full of misogynists are gamers. Another one is anime fans I’m pretty sure.
I feel like every male dominated demographic has a large portion of misogynists. Kinda what happens when you have a lot of men in one spot.
Like I bet if she was selling Ford pickup trucks youd have a divorced former marine electrician say he'd eat the corn out of her shit if she asked him.

The fact her company is making awooga noises at her is a little more real.

Man, flashback to adverts in gaming magazines in the 90's... They didn't joke around on the sexual innuendos.
Rayman and his massive disconnected penis
Jesus
She's not your's it's just your turn.
Jesus. 🤣
Is she part giraffe? Look at that killer neck!! WOW! 😮
(It looks photoshopped to be elongated on purpose)
Are fully competent mentally? Look at where her shoulders are. She has a normal neck she just has a her shirt unbuttoned.
Also her hair is framing her neck to make it appear longer. I don’t know how they can look at this photo and overlook all of that information and only come to the conclusion that her neck must just be super long!
As the Old Fogies call it: 🎵 Farrah Fawcett hair 🎶
Because they were too busy hornymaxxing
Required for any Gamestop/EBgames employee.
I hope she likes having her gamer knowledge questioned a lot.
Oh you like video games? Name every game.
She works at gamestop, she doesn't need to have game knowledge. They quit selling games years ago, they just hock merch now days.
This won’t turn GameStops fortunes around lmao
(535.14%)past 5 years
Pretty sure GameStop would’ve gone bankrupt if a bunch of online self proclaimed “apes” (they said “apes together strong”) didn’t forcefully buy insane amounts of stock because they wanted to go “to the moon.” I think their success is artificial. :/
Their move to collectibles has actually improved their financial position. Still no idea what a reasonable valuation of their stock is tho
Netflix has a documentary on it that’s really well done.
You're aware the value of a stock doesn't tell the financial situation of a company, right?
There are tons of failing companies being pumped and dumped on the daily. Even companies that are doing well financially are still artificially pumped and manipulated.

She used to work in Best Buy commercials.
GameStop is lame as hell. Especially with all their AI marketing as well as deepthroating Trump.
The replies in this thread remind me that dating requirements for women, by men, are in the floor and beyond lmao
How so?
She's a normal pretty girl and the comments (from her best buy days and now) are simping over her like she's the most beautiful thing on this planet
Certainly far different from how women treat an average good looking guy
I think she’s attractive. Is that a bad thing to say?
Literally a paid actor smh
And she still only makes minimum wage…
Is that leafy?
Two struggling stores barely able to stay open fighting over a girl. sick!
Gamestop trying absolutely everything to be relevant and hold on
No surprise that this woman is being objectified by a trash company like GameStop and a trash CEO scumbag nepobaby like Ryan Cohen, and yes I hate this man and his company.

That's Rilie Huntley. She did an ad for Best Buy a while back and it went stupid viral. Now GameStop got her to do an ad for them and they're rubbing it in Best Buy's face.
That best buy ad was so long ago that the people who bought gamer girl bathwater are the only ones who remember
Mid
Oh, that’s my coworker. Really fun to hang out and talk shit about managers with. Glad she got out of Best Buy, that place is a shithole.
Did an ad for Best Buy and then an ad for Gamestop. What about this warranted a post?
Paid actors will work for you if you pay them to...
Tell 16-year-old-me that instead of flying cars we'd get corporations posting sexist memes at each other on the new Nazi website and I think I would have jumped.
Wdym "stole" she wasn't their property and now she isn't the other folks property again. They maybe hired her?
Did she ever even work for either company? I don't know any of the lore, and never saw the commercials before now, but from an actors point of view... Times are hard right now. If her non compete clause from the Best Buy commercial was over, there's no reason for her not to take another commercial gig
holy shit the kill shot but what did Best Buy do to you lmaoo catching hella strays
Isn’t she the uWu girl ?
Best buy really messed up not getting her to do more commercials
Can someone tell me who she is and why she is popular? Is she an influencer or Something?
She looks a little like Shoe0nhead.
Can pornhub steal her next
Time for their stock to go back to the moon since we’re down bad???
Her neck long af
