AT&T Complaint - Who Is Marcel - Cable/TV service
Cable/TV service - Complaint
I'm totally at a loss when I watch what I think is an idiotic, pointless commercial for AT&T using a montage of different shots including cops busting into a house, basketball players making shots and show girls dancing.
In each case the main character says,"Hey Marcel, watch this". There is no continuity involved or the slightest clue why the actors are yelling "MARCEL"!!
Who is Marcel and why should I be impressed or care Two cents worth.
This commercial is DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!

Probably something stupid like trying to make this anonymous Marcel guy the new "it" character. Like that homeless man....I mean the "most interesting man in the world" for Dos Equis.

"Marcel" is just representative of you or anyone else that is watching television.
The commercial is trying to say with their new program you can now watch multiple programs at the same time so that TV shows don't have to fight for your attention.
Like if you're struggling between deciding which show you want to watch especially if the shows coincide with each other, with their program you don't have to choose since you can watch 4 at the same time.

They are hard to avoid... saturation advertising!

Ript... in other words it enables me to watch four times as much DRECK at the same time eh?
Posted by ript on 2011-04-23:
You got it.

If I complained about every commercial I hated I'd have hundreds of reviews when I see one I don't like I just switch the channel.

I'm totally at a loss why you do that also. Why not change the channel or mute it? I do that with certain commercials - I try to mute them before the really annoying part comes.

Marcel is the guy who is watching the TV in the commercial...it's their way of telling you they 'cater' to the viewer and you're supposed to feel as if they are personally putting the shows on for you.

Madison Avenue & it's advertising firms. What would we do without them?
Posted by Ytropious on 2011-04-24:
Why are you all saying if you hate the ad, change the channel? Maybe the OP did change the channel but they still have a right to come here and complain about the fact that the ad is stupid to begin with.

After years of meticulous training I now am able to instinctively within 12 milliseconds from the start of a commercial hit the mute button on the remote. I have no idea what vocalizations occur in any of them!
Posted by trmn8r on 2011-04-24:
Did anyone say that the OP doesn't have the right to come here and write a complaint? If so, they probably would get whacked up side of the head.

good obversation. OF!! It's almost impossible to avoid ad/commercials/spam or anykind, be that TV, youtube, dvd's etc. thanks for posting that. Reminds me of those annoying "crazy eddie" commercials back in the 80's.

Lord almighty! I forgot about "Crazy Eddie"!
We know we have some just as annoying .. "Mattress connection" who has the same style..VERY irritating!

Mattress connection was up there too. Of course on the postive side, I loved most of the "budlight" commercials. Especially ones with John Madden in them.

I love the Hey Marcel commercial, it makes me laugh. I think it is clever. I asked my husband, "Who is Marcel." It really gets you thinking and I think that is a great sales tatic.
