Title: Nike Soccer Commercial
Post by: videoholic on January 20, 2003, 10:59:21 AM
What\'s the deal with that commercial?   Did they take a real happening, throw in one tight shot of the dude\'s feet dancing, and slap a Nike logo on it?



If so, I don\'t remember ever someone running out naked onto a football field during a play.  They\'d probably be killed.  

But then again, we\'re talking about soccer here.  Queer football.....

Here is the commercial for those of you living under a rock with a broadband connection.

Alrighty then.  What does that have to do with the commercial?

Now that I look at it, that closeup shot of the shoes may have been real.

I\'m sorry if you don\'t get the concept of the commercial.

I love it when people do stuff like this. It\'s even better that the media is glorifying it! You have got to have some guts to get out there and do this kind of stuff. Only if I were more brave.

I get the concept of the commercial.  You think I\'m an idiot?

I wanted to know where it came from.  Was it a big deal overseas when this guy did this?

A couple of the shots looked fake to me, but damn if that whole thing is faked it\'s damn good.

I thought it was pretty funny. But I have the hinting it may be fake.

After all, it is Soccer. And soccer fans are wierd... :)

Yeah, that commercial rules, but it has to be quite fake. The Players would probably have taken the guy out immediatley if he actually did that.

The commentators are awesome -- "My...that image has scarred my retina for a long time", "Haha, looks like he\'s got more souveniers for the crowd".

See Yuz.

No way, the players wouldn\'t come near the guy.  WHy would you bother if you were a player?  There are police for that.  

The announcers are definitely faked.

Yeah, this soccer bashing is really fun. :rolleyes:

Which sport is more popular, again? Oh yeah, soccer.

The only sport in the states that gets less coverage than WNBA is MLS.

But that isn\'t the point.  I\'m talking about the commercial here.  Not the gay ass sport it\'s about.

well we could talk about which is the greater sport, but i feal that would only end in childish name calling and a last of the real issues.

i vote we beg to differ on this one ;)

The only thing gayer than wrestling is NFL. Wheee, fun.

Oh yeah, funny commercial.

BTW, if this continues to be about bashing sports, then I will close it. No matter who it comes from.

The Streaking part is real, but the close up on the boot might be faked.

That\'s what I think.  I think they added the closeup post.  Although they did a damn good match job.  But why in the world would the camera guys get a shot of the shoes during the real act.  Made no sense.  That\'s why I figured it was faked.

over here in the UK , we have had a bunch of these types of Ad\'s

they get Sporting images or video clips , take it to a point and then substitute their product into the next scene.

its quite effective and in the most part very funny

Trivia note

From the image you can tell that the football match was being played in England due to the shape of the police mans helmet (don’t laugh)

In England they have the Dome Helmets

But up here in Scotland the Police have the Flat top Hats like the US cop ware.

I need to know what you mean by "fake."

I saw this commercial on television over the weekend.  There\'s no reason it couldn\'t have been filmed entirely without digital effects.  They just go to a real soccer match, and shoot their streaking scene between the periods or whatever.  (they have those, right?  damn, I don\'t even know.)  The dude is certainly an actor, and so are the cops.  They could have easily tackled the guy at the beginning, so they\'re obviously acting.

I was at a Golden State Warriors game in Oakland, where they shot a scene for "Hangin\' with Mr. Cooper" during halftime.  No big deal.

Very true.  I bet that is what happened.

Although it\'s awfully racey for a company like Nike to put a naked guy out on the field for the kiddies.  Although he isn\'t necessarily naked.  That\'s a thought.  I bet that is exactly what they did.

One other thing that tipped me off is the second time he comes in, the camera shot is too perfect on that aisleway where the dude comes back.  And why didn\'t the camera follow action instead of going right to the naked guy.

That\'s it.  They did it during half time.

Soccer is still gay btw.

my good freind is in the crowd scenes for "major league"

it was filmed at milwaukee county stadium and they just came out and asked everybody who was there for the brewers game to stay a little afterwards to be in the movie.

i thought that was kinda cool.

Could you pick him out?


I bet he was the dude in the cap with the hot dog in his hand...

by fake i meant that the thing was set up. Even the blur seemed a different shade like he had shorts on. so i agree that either it was a halftime thing or they just did it with computers and put the crowd there.

OK, I just saw the commercial again and it is definitely rigged during a half time.  The dude is wearing shorts.  He has to be wearing beige biker shorts.
