Massive props to the marketing guy that came up with a way to get himself and 3 friends unlimited food and drinks, a field level suite to themselves, and get paid while doing it.
I actually did that once. Police do a DUI training and I was invited to it by a friend of a friend. They pick you up, take you to the station and let you drink, all while asking you to do field sobriety tests and the sort.
I drank too much, failed all tests, got dropped off back at home and hooked up with neighbor girl that night which was a huge mistake.
She basically stalked me for a year after. Thankfully this was back in college and I was a renter.
I mean, humble DVD place is a bit of an undersell. Consider the alternative back then: Driving out to a Blockbluster in hopes they had a copy of the video you wanted to rent. If they didn't? Oh well.
Oh also, watch it in 3 days and return it or get a late an insane late fee. You could later turn to Redbox, but again, selection was an issue an again, leaving home was required.
Or going out to Best Buy and picking up that DVD for $30 dollars.
Instead, you could get an insane selection of movies delivered with no late charges or fees. Watch as long as you want, and when you return it you get the next one.
And you didn't have to leave your house. For those who remember, ripping DVDs in their original format was glorious.
And you didn't have to leave your house. For those who remember, ripping DVDs in their original format was glorious.
I have a such a strange nostalgia for this time. I think I enjoyed my little Rip and Burn operation more than actually watching the movies. I still have binders of dog shit quality Single Layer DVD-R copied movies. Netflix was my pirating homie. Sad to see them become the enemy by making their service so inconvenient to use.
I used Redbox one time and tried to rent horizontally zero dawn shortly after it came out. Tried three different times, two different machines, and every copy was a print out of a scanned disc.
Dude, a field level suite is peanuts compared to NFL broadcast rights. Shit, that's probably cheaper than a e0 second ad spot in a nationally televised game.
It likely cost between $30k-$60k for the game. That is nothing for an ad spot, but it wouldn’t haven’t gotten any screen time if Netflix wasn’t streaming the game.
There would be a zero percent chance they’d have allowed the suite modifications an any other scenario. Professional teams have zero flexibility in allowing companies to advertise on the game-facing side of their suite, so this was definitely baked into their overall spend. The NFL is exceptionally strict, relative to other leagues. Outside of Gatorade, Nike, and whoever does the tech for coaches headsets/tablets, there aren’t any other brands allowed to be seen on a standard nfl broadcast - I could be missing another one or two, but my point stands.
Meanwhile Amazon GameTime or whatever it's called, their alternative cast to hosting the classic broadcast we all know.
They don't even seem to promote it. I found out about it by someone mentioning it on a podcast. You have to go to the main broadcast then press down (for TV) to easily get to it.
For those who haven't seen they pipe in the man broadcasters but show the game in what I call Madden mode. Camera angle behind the QB. Playroutes overlayed like Madden. Not only is it the natural way to view the game from home but you can see every player the entire play for the most part which opens up a whole new game almost.
dont forget the terrible video quality if you were able to find the second game. Mid-game interview to promote a restaurant? dogshit live tv experience.
Have you watched any of their other live events. They’re just a terrible, corny, and out of touch but for some reason the younger generation eats this shit up cuz it’s what they grew up on. Unfortunately, this is the direction shits moving, dumbed down cave man level corniness in our living rooms. Kinda sad to see
Professional sports have a beautiful way of making sure you are being force fed at least a dozen ads per minute of viewing. The commercial breaks are quite literally less commercials now days than the actual games.
Legitimately, in my personal life, I go out of my way to not see ads. I'll buy the premium subscriptions so there arent ads, and every where else I'll use an ad blocker.
The only time I see ads is the Holidays when I come back to visit family. I am always shocked by the sheer amount of ads on live TV and the lower tier subscription services. I guess Amazon is also using some kind of new ad tech that allows you to click a highlighted overlay on your screen during an ad in order to send the ad to your linked phone (whatever that means) so you can order the product in the ad? They were doing it for Subways horrible buy 4 get one free promo.
We are genuinely reaching terminal velocity when it comes to ads. The only next step will be pausing ads when you look away from them, and finding a way to advertise in your sleep.
I had Hulu through Spotify when I signed up years ago. I wanted to watch 30 Rock earlier this year (which I’ve never fully watched) and there were ads. I immediately shut it off because that’s bullshit.
Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
Also 20th century “getting to the movies early because you don’t want to miss the trailers, I don’t care about the super bowl I just want to see the commercials”
When you said you go out of your way to not see ads I expected you to say you did woodworking or hiking as a hobby lol. Not that you paid advertisers to not advertise to you.
Your comments regarding advertising align closely with my own experience. I largely avoid ads through deliberate technical measures such as browser-level blocking, network-wide filtering, and selective platform use. This makes advertising virtually nonexistent in my daily life.
Returning to family homes during the holidays was striking. The density and intrusiveness of advertising was genuinely overwhelming.
That company is going to be the first to die very very soon. Their mobile app has an unstoppable auto play ad first thing when you open it. Seems like they're just trying to cash out before it all blows up
Same. It's not just the quantity of ads either. I had been paying to get rid of ads and using AdBlock for so long that I had forgotten how obnoxious they are.
Honestly more of a lateral. Instead of an on-screen ad banner for [network TV progrum, a movie] it's a practical on-set ad.
Lot of folks oddly going "wow I can't believe Netflix advertised Netflix stuff while broadcasting a game" as if that isn't the case for literally every other network that broadcasts a game.
I'm happy I'm a soccer fan as an American. I watched a american football game once, holy shit I just wanted to watch the game. You get ads on fouls,time outs,every quarter, the stadium, even during the game the commentators talk about ads.
There's a graph that there's only 11 mins of game time and like 63 mins of commercials, its mind boggling.
Football has become over saturated with ad breaks but your math doesn't math there.
The average NFL broadcast is about 3 hours and 15 minutes. The game clock allows for 60 minutes of play. So the ratio is not almost 6:1.
Also people trot out the "football only has 15 minutes of action per game" stats but those are counting time for active plays like runs, passes, kicks. A lot of football is pre-play adjustments or resetting the ball after a play. The game clock can run during these times, showing these alignments is generally part of the television broadcast because they are an important part of the game, but they aren't considered "action."
I say this as a person who watches both soccer and football. The soccer viewing experience is definitely much more pleasant, and has less ads. Though certainly is a long way from zero. But a lot of the stats that deride football to make it seem boring and packed with filler content and advertisements are massively skewed towards a particular narrative.
they were terrible! netflix wanted to show off all their money and IP, but it was all so tacky. i can’t even believe i’m saying this but i prefer how (stupid awful) amazon handles thursday nights so much more.
the prime broadcast is great!. The video quality is some of the best streaming I have ever seen. The hosts are good, and getting better, and genuinely fun and interesting. Netflix on the other hand, somehow intentionally gives us potato quality, old time tube TV's looked better than that broadcast. Ouch
In fairness I aassume all these matchups looked way better on paper months ago. It didn’t work out well for Netflix that all of them became meaningless. (Technically Detroit was alive but got eliminated)
So not content with sponsoring every moment of the game, having the sport changed to build in commercial time outs, and extending half time to fit in yet more advertising; we're now seeing corporations buy whole sections of the actual tickets to the game to advertise more stuff to us. And then folk on Reddit share it for free.
Netflix is the sponsor of the event. Getting one or more booths/suites has always been part of sponsorship deals. The only thing new here is they decided to use it to advertise a show instead of putting people in it.
Stunts like this always piss me off. Movies are supposed to transport you to a different world. It's supposed to feel believable, real. When you see actors playing characters in a completely wrong context, it just serves as a reminder that you're not in 1920s Birmingham when you watch the show, you're watching adult men play dress-up in 2025.
I do like thinking about you watching a very pivotal, dramatic scene; and leaning over to the person next to you, whispering “these guys were at the Vikings game, this is bullshit.”
They also paid like 5 guys to sit in the front row and paint their chest with whatever letters they’re using to promote some new show that they did a 10 second promo for.
Thats how good the promo was - I don’t remember the name of the show. I did notice they used the same letters on an ornament on the Christmas tree in the opening when they had Kelly Clarkson singing a Christmas song.
Considering the way so many nfl games have gone this year and the Peaky Fuckin Blinders proclivity to fix sporting events to the gambling benefit, this could have been thought out better
Meanwhile Netflix also ran an ad that spoiled all of their major shows for some unknown reason? I cannot figure out for the life of me why they would do that.
Please no more Netflix football. Honestly was one of the shittiest broadcasts ever, constant promos, in game interviews, and sorry, WTF was that halftime show? Snoop 👍, the rest?👎
These fucking football games were such fucking jokes whoever is fucking given Netflix to right to host NFL games…. They don’t know what the fuck to do with them. During Cowboys and the Redskins they were talking about food and some fucking bullshit.
I watched most of the games all day yesterday. My wife and I typically never have an issue with ads (we've given up complaining about it tbh). But oh my god did we get tired of every single ad shoving stranger things into our faces. We got up at one point and considered just watching the highlights because we were exhausted of the same fucking ads all day
….think of how much more publicity they’d get if they bought every seat in the stadium to promote a movie. They should do that. In fact, all the major production companies should take turns doing this and just completely fuck over one team’s entire 8-game home series. Just, absolute silence. Then Amazon or Netflix’s or whichever company airs it can just AI in the stadium noise. Players will finally get what they want - no more cries from fans, whiny kids asking for autographs, just, silence.
This isn't very effective marketing. Peaky blinders and NFL are not really related at all... And it's marketing to an audience already captive. Such a dumb idea.
Am I the only one that thinks it’s a conflict for the broadcast partner to modify fan access and experience? Where’s the line? Why not buy the entire upper deck?
I heard people saying Portugal’s Portuguese sounds like Russian but this is the first time I see someone compare it to Brazilian Portuguese. That’s so crazy 😅 I (🇧🇷) could never make the connection
They didn’t need to keep advertising Stranger Things. If people made it thru 4 seasons of it, they already know about S5. They weren’t going to pick up any new viewers.
They did a similar stunt for the latest Squid Game season during the European tennis clay season swing. There was a whole VIP booth of those Squid Game soldiers seen at some of the matches during one of the spring 2025 tournaments. I think it might have been Rome or Madrid.
Massive props to the marketing guy that came up with a way to get himself and 3 friends unlimited food and drinks, a field level suite to themselves, and get paid while doing it.
That first guy didn’t even drink properly
Because they are actors who have to spend 4 hours pretending to drink
I’m not an actor but I’d happily drink for real for 4 hours if someone is supplying the beer.
I actually did that once. Police do a DUI training and I was invited to it by a friend of a friend. They pick you up, take you to the station and let you drink, all while asking you to do field sobriety tests and the sort.
I drank too much, failed all tests, got dropped off back at home and hooked up with neighbor girl that night which was a huge mistake.
She basically stalked me for a year after. Thankfully this was back in college and I was a renter.
This sounds hilarious!
Sign me up
That's exactly how that story should end
Hey neighbor! How ya been? Uwu
Lol I love this story
What happens if you drink all the beer and pass all the tests ? Do you get assigned to advanced drinking ?
They transfer you to Wisconsin.
Sounds like you passed to me!
Because the camera was on him for slightly too long. The angle got him.
"Sometimes you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
It's against the law to advertise drinking or some crap like that.
You can’t drink alcohol in an advertisement for an alcohol brand, but this is an advertisement for a movie. That rule doesnt apply.
There is a commercial for another brand that makes fun of the law that actors can't actually drink beer in a beer commercial...
That's genius! Likely got premium rates for working on Christmas Day!
It was by order of the Peaky fooking Blinders
Marketing guys don’t usually get to be the actors too
They were begging for someone to cut and post this for the show too
Assuming this isn't them out right doing that themselves
OP is working for Netflix
OP is using his mate’s Netflix Account bro
I'm not hearing a "No".
Idk why you got downvoted so hard this made me laugh
(It was at -50 when I responded lol)
Idc man, its probably all them Netflix workers
This is the ad...
It was their broadcast, no?
They went from a humble dvd rental place to having f-you money.
As Capitalism intended.
I mean, humble DVD place is a bit of an undersell. Consider the alternative back then: Driving out to a Blockbluster in hopes they had a copy of the video you wanted to rent. If they didn't? Oh well.

I used Redbox one time and tried to rent horizontally zero dawn shortly after it came out. Tried three different times, two different machines, and every copy was a print out of a scanned disc.
I’m calling it this from now on. Reddit typos that rename stuff perfectly should have its own sub. horizontally zero dawn lol
Haha, I didn’t even notice.
Enshitification is coming for all of us
Until they get every last, well I'd say penny, but meow, nickel.
Just watched Culinary Class Wars a few days ago
I would say the Netflix product is still pretty decent. It could be way way worse. Look at that jabroni product called Paramount Plus
Unironically, yes.
Netflix represented a huge innovation in the way we consume TV and movies (streaming) and made billions on the back of said innovation.
Dude, a field level suite is peanuts compared to NFL broadcast rights. Shit, that's probably cheaper than a e0 second ad spot in a nationally televised game.
It likely cost between $30k-$60k for the game. That is nothing for an ad spot, but it wouldn’t haven’t gotten any screen time if Netflix wasn’t streaming the game.

Outside of Gatorade, Nike, and whoever does the tech for coaches headsets/tablets, there aren’t any other brands allowed to be seen on a standard nfl broadcast - I could be missing another one or two, but my point stands.
I worked for a video rental store at the time Netflix started (I want to say this was 2003-2004).
My owner at the time said that his business would probably have, at most, 2-3 years left and that Netflix was going to be the future.
He was right in one way...but I doubt he could even imagine what streaming was going to end up becoming.
It’s an ad…. They spend colossally more on advertising as a whole. This is a single ad.
Can’t wait to see real life demogorgons on the next one
That’s Monday night raw on Jan 5 when WWE gets turned “upside down.” For real. They gonna do a crossover episode and it’s gonna terrible.
The Upside Down Match, which is actually like the Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match, except Stranger Things!
It’ll be closer to that zombie movie tie in match with the zombies on the outside
I thought that was the scheduled true crime crossover where they have a cast member actually killed by a jilted former lover.
I’m widely becoming interested in sports now that the world is ending
They did that during the earlier game. There was a section of girls dressed up as 11 sitting up in the nosebleeds. Get it… cause her nose bleeds.
thats called "The Owner's Box"
Personally, I hope they do a brazzers one next!
What is that, my good sir?
This netflix NFL shit stank so bad, I did not ask for zoom interviews with retired players during games
Literally one of the worst football broadcasts I've ever seen. Everything they did was annoying, disruptive, and corny
Felt the same way. All the Netflix centric ads were so loathsome. Google search for Stranger things... come on!
Meanwhile Amazon GameTime or whatever it's called, their alternative cast to hosting the classic broadcast we all know.
They don't even seem to promote it. I found out about it by someone mentioning it on a podcast. You have to go to the main broadcast then press down (for TV) to easily get to it.

Fo Shizzle My Nizzle
dont forget the terrible video quality if you were able to find the second game. Mid-game interview to promote a restaurant? dogshit live tv experience.
And yet we all watched. They’re testing the limits of how shitty they can make it before we stop watching
Have you watched any of their other live events. They’re just a terrible, corny, and out of touch but for some reason the younger generation eats this shit up cuz it’s what they grew up on. Unfortunately, this is the direction shits moving, dumbed down cave man level corniness in our living rooms. Kinda sad to see
Just what we wanted... more ads
Professional sports have a beautiful way of making sure you are being force fed at least a dozen ads per minute of viewing. The commercial breaks are quite literally less commercials now days than the actual games.
Legitimately, in my personal life, I go out of my way to not see ads. I'll buy the premium subscriptions so there arent ads, and every where else I'll use an ad blocker.

They were doing it for Subways horrible buy 4 get one free promo.
We are genuinely reaching terminal velocity when it comes to ads. The only next step will be pausing ads when you look away from them, and finding a way to advertise in your sleep.
And now even paid tiers get ads.
I sailed away and cut the cable over a decade ago and don’t miss it at all.
I had Hulu through Spotify when I signed up years ago. I wanted to watch 30 Rock earlier this year (which I’ve never fully watched) and there were ads. I immediately shut it off because that’s bullshit.
Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?
Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
20th century “I don’t want to see ads”
Also 20th century “getting to the movies early because you don’t want to miss the trailers, I don’t care about the super bowl I just want to see the commercials”
I always think of the ‘Ready Player One’ movie scene where Nolan Sorento is trying to show shareholders his new ad package. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KpPE85Jogjw&pp=ygURTm9sYW4gc29yZW50byBhZHM%3D becoming more and more real every second.
I see more ads on Reddit than I do in my regular everyday life. There's even an ad for Peaky Blinders at the top of /r/sports if you can believe it.
When you said you go out of your way to not see ads I expected you to say you did woodworking or hiking as a hobby lol. Not that you paid advertisers to not advertise to you.
Your comments regarding advertising align closely with my own experience. I largely avoid ads through deliberate technical measures such as browser-level blocking, network-wide filtering, and selective platform use. This makes advertising virtually nonexistent in my daily life.

I mean at least this is clever and not some brain rot Kevin Hart online casino ads
I mean I thought it was kinda fun. Just because something is promoting a product doesn’t mean it isn’t also enjoyable. I don’t even watch the show
I'm happy I'm a soccer fan as an American. I watched a american football game once, holy shit I just wanted to watch the game. You get ads on fouls,time outs,every quarter, the stadium, even during the game the commentators talk about ads.

These Netflix games were complete garbage broadcasting. Literally the worst I’ve ever heard

the prime broadcast is great!. The video quality is some of the best streaming I have ever seen. The hosts are good, and getting better, and genuinely fun and interesting. Netflix on the other hand, somehow intentionally gives us potato quality, old time tube TV's looked better than that broadcast. Ouch
Amazon prime cast is pretty cool imo.
I felt like the commentators during the Wash/Dallas game were apologizing every other play for the game not having any playoff implications lol
In fairness I aassume all these matchups looked way better on paper months ago. It didn’t work out well for Netflix that all of them became meaningless. (Technically Detroit was alive but got eliminated)
“This stadium is under new management, by order of the PEAKY FOOKING BLINDERS!”
Sorry, but it's already controlled by al-Shabaab.
"look how much money we have"
Netflix can afford field level suites and NFL contracts. But my aunt can’t share her password with me and the cousins.
Where do you think they got that money from?
How about you focus on not butt fucking the live stream of your games first. That was horrible
So not content with sponsoring every moment of the game, having the sport changed to build in commercial time outs, and extending half time to fit in yet more advertising; we're now seeing corporations buy whole sections of the actual tickets to the game to advertise more stuff to us. And then folk on Reddit share it for free.
Great.
And then you talk about it, which is seen by other people. One person is bound to get into this by way of this process, which means it works.
Netflix is the sponsor of the event. Getting one or more booths/suites has always been part of sponsorship deals. The only thing new here is they decided to use it to advertise a show instead of putting people in it.
And it’s not like that box would normally have been filled with school teachers and coal miners.
Thanks for the ad, guy. Why did you post this and why is it being upvoted?
I thought this was an anti-Netflix post.
because OP work for netflix and reddit got alot of bots, just like instagram and facebok
You want less ads? Don’t watch it. Pro sports already ruined by sports gambling anyway. Maybe if enough people stop watching they will change.
Loved the early seasons but it went a bit up it's own arse eventually. Shit like this is just pathetic imo.
Stunts like this always piss me off. Movies are supposed to transport you to a different world. It's supposed to feel believable, real. When you see actors playing characters in a completely wrong context, it just serves as a reminder that you're not in 1920s Birmingham when you watch the show, you're watching adult men play dress-up in 2025.
I do like thinking about you watching a very pivotal, dramatic scene; and leaning over to the person next to you, whispering “these guys were at the Vikings game, this is bullshit.”
This doesn't compare to the choir of Elevens from stranger things in the first game, it made zero sense. Netflix is really bad and brand integration
It felt like a SNL skit, I kept looking for the joke payoff, but it was straight up serious
The whole was pretty cringe
The parts I saw yesterday were terrible. Netflix stick to shows please. Snoop halftime show looked like a clown show.
I feel like this would work better at a soccer game.
Lets hope they never had the Nfl again
Everything is an ad
They should fire the guy that sent 11 little girls in dresses to the nosebleeds of Washington’s shitty ass stadium for a Stranger Things ad.
False. Not a single cigarette was being smoked.
And it’s not even an original Netflix show, so the BBC must be loving it.
Really glad I didn't actually pay for Netflix to watch those garbage games.
Everything is just hilariously hyper-commercialized at all new levels now.
Ok Netflix I mean OP
But they’re afraid of losing money sharing the password with your mom
They also paid like 5 guys to sit in the front row and paint their chest with whatever letters they’re using to promote some new show that they did a 10 second promo for.
Thats how good the promo was - I don’t remember the name of the show. I did notice they used the same letters on an ornament on the Christmas tree in the opening when they had Kelly Clarkson singing a Christmas song.
Marketing was probably so proud of themselves.
You consider this sports? Smh
Netflix sucks
Considering the way so many nfl games have gone this year and the Peaky Fuckin Blinders proclivity to fix sporting events to the gambling benefit, this could have been thought out better
Meanwhile Netflix also ran an ad that spoiled all of their major shows for some unknown reason? I cannot figure out for the life of me why they would do that.
“Rented out”
Please no more Netflix football. Honestly was one of the shittiest broadcasts ever, constant promos, in game interviews, and sorry, WTF was that halftime show? Snoop 👍, the rest?👎
These fucking football games were such fucking jokes whoever is fucking given Netflix to right to host NFL games…. They don’t know what the fuck to do with them. During Cowboys and the Redskins they were talking about food and some fucking bullshit.
Don Draper would have dominated this era
Netflix needs to stop broadcasting sports, they suck and they can't even get a simple score bug right.
The entire NFL experience on Netflix was so cringeworthy.
I watched most of the games all day yesterday. My wife and I typically never have an issue with ads (we've given up complaining about it tbh). But oh my god did we get tired of every single ad shoving stranger things into our faces. We got up at one point and considered just watching the highlights because we were exhausted of the same fucking ads all day
Netflix gotta be stopped.
DK should’ve went there
Netflix logos everywhere. Non stop ads it was terrible nfl game to watch.
….think of how much more publicity they’d get if they bought every seat in the stadium to promote a movie. They should do that. In fact, all the major production companies should take turns doing this and just completely fuck over one team’s entire 8-game home series. Just, absolute silence. Then Amazon or Netflix’s or whichever company airs it can just AI in the stadium noise. Players will finally get what they want - no more cries from fans, whiny kids asking for autographs, just, silence.
Sorry to anyone who wasted their time watching sports on Netflix.
The peaky blinders people put on a better performance than either of the Vikings or Lions.
Thanks for posting an ad, OP! We don't get enough of them!
And part 2 of the ad is right here.
Netflix loves their cross-promoting so much it's damn near annoying.
That song is reserved for Scream lol
This isn't very effective marketing. Peaky blinders and NFL are not really related at all... And it's marketing to an audience already captive. Such a dumb idea.
Am I the only one that thinks it’s a conflict for the broadcast partner to modify fan access and experience? Where’s the line? Why not buy the entire upper deck?
Respectfully, what language is this? Russian?
Portugués
Brazilian Portuguese
Sounds like Portuguese
I heard people saying Portugal’s Portuguese sounds like Russian but this is the first time I see someone compare it to Brazilian Portuguese. That’s so crazy 😅 I (🇧🇷) could never make the connection
I love how the actors don’t give a shite about American football, as it should be.
jesus christ redditors are so miserable
Brazil?
Did they use a FPV drone for this or a shitty gimbal operator ?
On timestamp 0:22, what's that grey rectangular thing hanging on the wall? Is it for wifi?
It was cringe when they did the stranger things version
Is peaky blinders even that big in the US?
Quite funny seeing a show that started on BBC 2 being this big a brand.
Ew
Next time post the guy who spoke English to advertise this
That felt kind of low effort
"rented out?" didnt they sponsor the whole game?
Price increase omen
Haha everything is a fucking advertisement now
“He is of mixed religion, therefore he is godless. He was adopted by Satan himself before he was returned out of fear of his awkwardness.”
Some bullshit football game disrupted the ads
That set looks like total ass and only 3 dudes? It looks bad
A whole movie about British dudes walking from one location to another to crappy blues music? Idk…
But this is the real advertising. I would have never known.
They didn’t need to keep advertising Stranger Things. If people made it thru 4 seasons of it, they already know about S5. They weren’t going to pick up any new viewers.
Fun gig for those actors. “Goto the football game and act like a badass gangster for a few hours. Don’t take shit from anyone.”
Those 30 second Red Zone ads aren’t looking so bad now 🤷🏻♂️
Capitalism has gone way too far.
You losers really aren’t okay with this? NFL fans are so dumb.
We have so much money but we don’t have that much for you to share passwords
It’s funny to see streaming services whose ultimate business goal is to become a cable provider.
Based on the other comments I'm glad that I captured those games on the radio instead of TV yesterday
This makes me want to watch peaky blinders dubbed in Spanish with English subtitles. The marketing is working.
This shit was so stupid.
They did a similar stunt for the latest Squid Game season during the European tennis clay season swing. There was a whole VIP booth of those Squid Game soldiers seen at some of the matches during one of the spring 2025 tournaments. I think it might have been Rome or Madrid.
Being one of those actors would be such an interesting job
Not a bad gig for an actor.
The broadcast really sucked but I liked this sort of unique marketing
Could they have hired some 21st Century talent to get the graphics and broadcast to post 90’s Fox levels? Yuck…
I pirated this game. Not sorry. Fuck streaming services.
🤮
“Hey hun! What was that show that had the little bar front and barrels to drink on that one time during the Vikings game? Let’s try it!” - no one
The stranger things stunt in the early window was weird AF too
Oh is that what that was? I couldn’t tell because of the super fucking ass image quality.
Yet they claim that account sharing is hurting them
