I recently saw this Hopper commercial and thought is was really funny. I have never even heard of the Hopper by Dish but now know what it is from their commercial. The man explained right in the beginning exactly what the Hopper is. It's a DVR that allows you to record 6 shows at once and can be watched in any room of the house. It was straight to the point, hilarious, and showed how someone in every room was watching their own thing which portrayed what their advertising. If they keep making such good commercials, they will be loosing viewers because they will all have the Hopper and will be fast-forwarding through them. A lot of people complain about commercials and change them right away for good reasons. But if more advertisers spent a little extra time on creating funny commercials, even something as simple as a Boston accent, people would view their ads and appreciate their brand more. Maybe even talk about it with someone else like I am because I really enjoyed this commercial.
This commercial is pretty funny huh. Have you seen any of the other commercials for the Hopper? There are a few others, one of my coworkers at DISH showed me, that I think are pretty funny too. It’s good to hear the commercial is getting the good word out about the Hopper though…I just recently purchased one and a couple Joey’s and absolutely love it. My favorite feature is the PrimeTime Anytime feature that records all primetime shows on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX automatically and stores them up to 8 days. I’m glad recording conflicts are a thing of the past now, that’s for sure.
ReplyDeletePersonally I like this commercial, but I can see how it can wear on people. It is almost ironic that Dish just released a function on the Hopper (da Hoppa!) called Auto Hop and it lets people “hop” over commercial breaks in Primetime Anytime programming. I was blown away when I found out about Auto Hop from a coworker at Dish last week. I went home that night to try it out on an episode of Law and Order: SVU stored in Primetime Anytime. A little pop-up asked me if I wanted to skip the commercials, to which I exuberantly said “Yes”. While I thought the “Da Hoppa” commercial was funny, I won’t really miss it.
