 The worst fail is the ads in the middle of the video.

 I don’t get ads! What am I doing wrong? I want to be able to complain like the rest of you.

 All of these Defender ads have me believing that their target demographic is people from New Jersey that would like to move to Colorado

 @alejobeleta: I don’t get ads either. Seems to be a Europe thingy.
But fullscreen mode ends in the middle of the video. Supposingly where the US ad-break starts?
Whatever. Ads suck. Big time.
Really looking forward to the moment where companies recognize that interrupting a video with the ad for your product will 100% guarantee that I’m not buying your product ever?

 I came down here to say the same thing, the Destination Defender ad was definitly a cringy fail.

 Interesting. It's totally edited out but I thought he was saying "don't be a pu$$y".

Solid advice regardless.

 21 belongs in Sunday's vid for sure.

 Fail is the logic behind marketing expensive, luxury vehicles, and taking them off roading, when you could buy something less expensive and way more capable.

 “Destination Defender draws people from all over the country, from international”.

Someone wrote those words down, and sent them off to an editor. Then the editor read those words and approved them. The script went to the ad agency, who presumably also reviewed the script. The agency filmed the ad and recorded the voice over. The voice over actor read and said those words. The recording engineer heard them. The video editor then listened to and incorporated that voice over into the ad. The agency’s project manager reviewed the final video and sent it to the car company for approval. It was approved and uploaded. Then a web developer incorporated it into the ad feed, and tested a few browsers to make sure it worked.

None of those people thought “‘from international’ isn’t a thing English-speaking humans say. We should fix it”.

 @pmhobson: Or maybe most of or even all of them noticed, but didn't want to do anything about it.....

 Can someone message the editor to put in Lada commercials? Looks like people came out of the Christmas holidays broke and don't want to buy Range Rovers. They can now only afford Ladas or whatever is the cheapest. Definitely, these commercials are working since people don't seem to mind them as they come every Friday to watch the ads and post that they don't like Range Rovers because they're unreliable and expensive. Need to dumb these cars down so people can afford them.

 The logic behind marketing cars like this is clear. The logic behind buying them...

 is that it will provide more work for the local off road recovery tow service and the land rover dealership's service department?

 @pmhobson: I heard international was even more of a crapshoot than domestic, but the excitement I feel for the excitement of these actors about deluxe gravel truck is out of this world

 #12 & #13 are the same from different angles I think. My favorite: #6 - amazing stem riding.

 The 5g chip that got injected with the covid vaccine works ad a land rover ad blocker. I get subliminal sham wow commercials instead

 What's with this Land Rover BS? Also, don't those things fall apart after like 30K miles?

 That was when they were British owned. Now that they are Indian owned, it's 32K.

 This week I got multiple ads for snowm ass, whatever that is. Not a land rover ad in sight.

 I'm not getting any ads, but if there was one for a LR Evoque, I'd be okay with that. That's a fine looking automobile. I'll never be able to afford one, but they sure are purdy.

 Pinkbikers: "We need outside sponsors to keep biking alive"

Also Pinkbikers: "Why do we need these adds"

 So how many of us can afford a damn Defender or would want one if we could and they are hawking last years "event"?
  • 1 0
 Well there are the people on here riding a bike that's brand new top of the line, and then there are those that buy that bike when it's a year old, and then there are the people that buy that bike after its 2 -5 years old or parted out, etc. so there are probably some people on here that can afford a Defender.

 I got no ads at all this week - is it a lottery or something?

 Gotta get that ad block my friend

 I'm just hoping PB puts in ads at the beginning and end of each clip. Alternate between the Range Rover, Hummer, and Fiat. This would be FUCKING hilarious!

 I guess #13 is technically a fail but I feel like it's pretty boss if you hit a tree in mid-air

 Vid is just 3:15 but have to watch 2 ads.

 I think there should be even more ads! Maybe this will help with adding more Fail Friday contents if people start watching them without ad blockers!

 I could watch 23 all day. That was hilarious
