The Making Of Guitar Hero 5’s Playboy Commercial

@(Human) Gyaruson:

Meh. The dude's getting paid to do what he likes, he's not hurting anybody or doing anything illegal, and his movies are popular enough with the masses. Some would call that success, and nothing to be ashamed about.

I can't say I like his work, but I wouldn't say he should be ashamed of it. I wish I had this dude's career.

@bruceleroy99: lollll dude that was amazing.

@jcb231:
No, he should just be ashamed of everything else he's done.

(Human) Gyaruson

I like the way Hugh's hair magically stands up at 3:23.

@Owen Good: Aw man, you Owen'd him Good.

@SacGamer: err yes it is :D

P.s. Unless you are stoned or drunk that is.

"Gatar Hero thing?" Flattering...

hanulbada

It's nice to see a famous director, a magazine institution and a video game company completely miss the point all at once.

burgerdog

"We should have a Kotar Hero party here" and "Can you show me a kick?" (Playmate whips her hair around)

damn that old guy is wrinkley and nasty x___x

lineypi

@(Human) Gyaruson:

Yeah, because it seems like such a bad gig. He should really be ashamed of this. (sarcasm)

jcb231

its hilarious watching them "rocking out" with no sound

@SacGamer: He's right on the shameless advertising though. In what way is Playboy related to GH, none that's what. Ever since GH4's advertising its gone all downhill.

Anyone else find it MASSIVELY creepy to see the bunnies dancing and writhing to music that wasn't there? Ack. Also, why bother even bother using incredibly hot playboy womans if you're just going to put them in men's shirts and ::shudder:: TUBE socks.

monkeysaresilly

Playboy hasn't been relevant ever since the internet started. Who's going to care if they make an ad?

Mecharine

@BriGuy: Umm, Guitar Hero isn't just for kids.

When did Playboy transform from it's hip adult image to a youth oriented one? Young people cannot legally buy a Playboy!
This is truly shameless advertising.

BriGuy

If ten Playmates ace TTFATF on Expert, will anyone care?

"This is the most fun I've had since the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah," exclaimed a drooling Hefner while he dropped the guitar for the 6th time and had a bunny pick it up for him. "This and having someone wipe and change me are what I live for."

@uzivatel: not child friendly, but family-friendly

dibbitydan

@DukeOfPwn: Or the other way round.. Hugh's Death Mountain entering your Bliss Valley.

Lee

@KaemonKei: you could've called them something nicer than whores. They seem like really nice people in the video.

excaleranth

"If you're here strictly for girls in lingerie cavorting with plastic instruments, that's at the four minute mark" - damn it's like you read my mind! *clicks to 3:55 to see Hugh Hefner, just before the camera stops rolling and he pops another Viagra*

Pudgie'sSmokerGivesAGoodTongueing

@simply_androoo: I get the reference but you are seriously one sick fuck.

And just to clarify, Playboy isn't just about the tits. The actual magazine is closer to a pop-culture magazine oriented towards men. So while women magazines talk about the baby that whatever star is having, or whose divorcing who, playboy has articles on stars new movies, tv shows, as well as personal interviews and reviews for movies, music and games.

But yeah, most people get it for the tits. But most people stay with it for the articles. If you just want a magazine about porn get hustler.

Joe Lengerich

@bakagaijin: It doesn't work like that. They only get with him to get on Playboy Magazine. It's like having to enter Death Mountain before you arrive at Bliss Valley.

DukeOfPwn

@KaemonKei: I dont think Guitar Hero is meant to be the most child friendly franchise. Band Hero maybe...

uzivatel

@KaemonKei: Think of the children! *faints*

Spenze

@Owen Good: Owen...you rock. Apology not required.

@Janxer: I must admit that this is true. I still liked it anyway ;P

@Deunan: I wasn't too surprised by this after a moments thought. But it did catch me off guard for a second at first. Brett is cool.

@KaemonKei: Are you really a Kotaku-ite? Seek therapy soon.

This is actually a reason NOT to buy GH.

Isn't GH supposed to be family friendly, or at least marketable to anyone, how can they do that when whores are pracing about in their commercials?

KaemonKei

@(Starman) AnalysisDialysis: Everyone, let's stop commenting on this thread. It's not germane to the post, and it gives this troll much more attention than he deserves, because every time a starred commenter comes back in here to tell me how funny I am, it elevates the discussion back to a top thread.

I went after and banned him because he called me out, by name, for zero good reason. He's gone, it's over, at least until he creates another account and someone unwittingly approves him again.

@thesircuddles: He is the STAR weekend editor of Kotaku, you know... ;P

(Starman) AnalysisDialysis

I like Heidi Klum better.

CutePuppyz

@Owen Good: This is very clearly one of next weeks CotW. Grats on earning that star Owen ;)

@MassiveMendoza: Aww.
We hardly knew you. R.I.P

Nice video to look at, but I had to turn the sound off.

I liked the ad with the Shane Kim - Phil Spencer - Marc Whitten - Don Mattrick better than this one.

edit: this sounds weird...

uzivatel

This says everything about the embarrassing state of the GH franchise.

@duckmouth: O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock the troll it feeds on.

@Owen Good: Gah I approved your comment and it approved his!!! :(

@duckmouth: Believe me, an IP Address Banhammer has long been a fantasy of mine. But as people read us and comment on us at work, in libraries, public or free wi-fi, it'd punish the innocent more than it would an offender.

@Mister Jack does BIG SOVIET DAMAGE: Isn't there some way to IP ban him? just checked his post history and he really seems to have a vendetta against Owen. Can't think why, as Owen seems eminently likeable.

@Lincolnsbeard33: Meh, different people, different interests I guess.

@(Human) Gyaruson: I wish I had as much disposable income as Activision...

@simply_androoo: yes people still read it and to answer your question not a single thing you mentioned is erotic.

Lincolnsbeard33

It's actually at the 4:04 mark, I had to look at Hefner for 4 seconds. Poor show.

@Deunan: I can't help but think that most of the Owen flak comes from one sad, lonely douche who keeps making new accounts after he gets banned. I know that he's done it at least twice. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done it more or if this is that same guy.

Either way, he's a douche.

They're gonna have to preserve Hefner's penis like they did Einstein's brain. The man is 3 times my age and look at the women he gets. He alone could have repopulated the earth twice over.

Do people even read Playboy anymore? I mean, the internet is free and has a wide variety of content, like people eating shit, drinking piss, getting fucked by horses until blood oozes outta them, people jamming bottles up their ass and said bottles shattering while still inside, women vomitting on eachother, women on their period bleeding into the open mouths of another woman, and all kinds of other things. Who needs Playboy when ya got that stuff?

Oh, Brett Ratner is at the reigns.
What a pleasant, totally unpredictable surprise.

@RCagent: Me too. So far are narrowed it down to clever computer work or cloning.

ClockOut

@MassiveMendoza: Man... Owen and Brian really get a lot of flak around here.

@MassiveMendoza: Still hoping to get someone to talk to you or about you by posting inflammatory comments, huh?

Good job, MassiveDouche.

Dresan

Brett Ratner. With his directorial job in such high demand these days he still took the time to squeeze in the oh-so sought after Overdone For the Sixth Time Guitar Hero Commercial. Talent like his just doesn't come along every day.

(Human) Gyaruson

@Owen Good:
"Oh wait, you can't."

Oh my God that was the funniest thing I've read on here in a long time. Nicely done, Mr. Good. Nicely done, indeed.

(Human) Gyaruson

"We gave a bunch of women guitars"

/summary

@Pult|Ost - Not Backwards Compatible: Their readership is down 81%, Guitar Hero is helping advertise for Playboy, not the other way around.

Shinta

@MassiveMendoza: Considering the content, (Guitar Hero and Playboy) it doesn't deserve good grammar or proper spelling.

MCX405

@Owen Good: So amusing.

Thank you for saving everyone's time by noting where we need to skip to for the good stuff, though the girls at the five minute mark are all I needed to see.

Kobun

@Owen Good: Dont worry Owen, I happen to like the lolcat language. It is like Latin, but more useful

I'm a straight 18-36 yr old male and I do not find Playboy sexy. o.O'

@Owen Good:

And another faceless commenter with no friends acts like a jackass, thus sealing his own fate.

Let us have a moment of silence. Or not.

I frigging love this site!

Is this just a reel of the footage that was supposed to be edited INTO a behind-the-scenes video, but they got lazy and just threw the whole thing up?

gstark

@Owen Good: *surpressed laughter*

xD It hurts so good!

Screw this, I want to know how The Beatles: Rock Band commercial was made.

RCagent

@MassiveMendoza: Oh, I am terribly sorry that my professional practice was not up to your standards. Please reply to let me know my apology has been received and accepted.

Oh wait, you can't.

Good Owen

At this point, it's more like Guitar Hero advertising Playboy.

Still speaking 'lolcat' in professional journalism, huh?

Good job, Owen.

MassiveMendoza

"This game is very popular, and it's youth oriented. So we thought we'd glom on to its popularity."

Fixed it for you. You really shouldn't have misquoted Hef like that.
