Super Bowl Commercial!

plus they probably had to pay a fee to the producers of Taken for using such parody on an advertisement.

I don't think you understand how parody works ...

[WeJakeYou]

I supposed not every one knows short hand. Its common in my industry.

KK is short for "thousand thousand" which in tern signifies 6 zeros. So 10kk is short for 10 thousand thousands also know as 10, 000, 000. In otherwords, KK means million.

Kate Upton was worth 50KK and how popular is she really? And they've made just a handful of commercials for that. Liam is a much higher grossing movie star and would command much more than 1kk plus they probably had to pay a fee to the producers of Taken for using such parody on an advertisement.

They never used any of the lines from the movie, even though he seemed to be playing the same character. Would have been way funnier if they used the same lines from the cell phone convo in the movie... "What I do have is a particular set of clashing skills..."

If SuperCell focused more on the game, and less on its commercials, we'd have a better product.

This ^^^^.


Why pay for an actor to pretend to clash? And Liam neeson of all ppl?

Not cool!

[AxionXD]

seeing as she wasn't paid that much yes. and before you go 'yes she was', she wasn't, I googled it. bam.

im sorry 40kk, still way off your suggestion of 1kk for Neeson.

Plus if you take into account they could have just gotten any blonde with nice cleavage to play the part, they still paid 40kk for her. In this case, they had to have Neeson or the Taken parody wouldn't have made sense. At minimum Neeson costs 5-6kk

either way, Super Bowl commercials arent there to really generate more sales. Who would spend upwars of a possible $20kk for 60 second commercial? If you weren't into mobile gaming, it wouldn't have made you download it. If you are into mobile gaming, chances are you've already heard or seen (much cheaper i may add) commercials for it. It's usually suggested to anyone looking for games to download because its a top grossing app in the App Store.

No, Super Bowl add are a statement of your success as a company. To say your company had a sweet Super Bowl commercial is bragging rights on its own. And to have a celebrity endorsement for it adds icing to the cake.


as far as knowing how parody works, chances are of two things. They didnt quote directly and could pass without having to pay a licensing fee or they did to prevent any problems. Parody on shows like SNL gets away with it because its for entertainment purposes. This was a commercial selling a product, not just for entertainment. It changes the rules a bit.

Either way, it was a funny commercial that we cant deny costs a lot of money!

hopefully theyre able to focus back into new content soon!

As a comparison game of war paid 50kk for Kate Upton and I think they got her for 3 or 4 commercial versions?

Its worth noting the Kate Upton isn't only doing the commercials, Im pretty sure she is a main character in the game itself

Some few comments in bold.

Of course they are, why do you think commercials exist?

Obviously Supercell, that's a few days of revenue for them.

Why not both (generating more sales and a statement of success)? You do have a point for more established companies like Budweiser, but I doubt 10% of the people that know Budweiser as a company know Supercell.

Entertainment is also a product and is being sold in an SNL sketch.

More new people, more nerfing. "So new players have a chance to catch up" SC.

At the end of the commercial, they sing/chant a line that sound like this:

Angry Neeson, Angry Neeson 52 dot com

I'm not 100% sure that is "dot com" at the end. Someone registered it today, so I am thinking that isnt accurate.

What are they saying?

I was pretty excited that they had a hidden website in the commercial, but was disappointed that it wasnt true. Would have been cool.

[Daddy]

pfft i'd have done it for half that money - I knew I should have answered that phone call

[WarrenJames]

That made my day when I saw it pop up..... PS pause it at :47 seconds, it says PEKKA

Oh damn! Nice call there! Ha!

Someone asked, if I saw the revenge video yet, and to refresh my game. Saw it, and still didn't realize it was a frick'n Super Bowl ad as well. Explains the actor they netted somehow.

I'm wanting to say he plays, and went with the contract to do the ad. But that's purely a guess.

What I find funny is... he is revenge attacking. And we all know know nearly impossible that is to do.
...
But it is not only possible, but I have half exhausted my list at times! And yes, I attack with many dragons, if you haven't guessed by now. lol

[Kirrily]

Very cool! I wish the animated revenge sequence was longer though.

me too...but did you know that supercell had to pay 9 MILLION dollars JUST FOR 1 minute of advertising?
