Skater Boys Talk Thumbs For EA Games

If you're a skater, you might like this new campaign for the new Playstation3 game "skate" from EA Games which, in one spot, features pro riders Mike Carroll, Rob Dyrdek, Terry Kennedy, Ryan Gallant and Danny Way. If you're not a skater, you're probably gonna think the semi-forced hipsterims such as "hate on" and "wouldn't be trippin' too much" make the spot, well, lame. Or, if you're just a regular person who happens to see this on TV, you're thumb will probably be on the fast forward button whizzing by the spot in a move analogous to EA Games tossing its TV dollars into a burning flame.

And if you're sick of listening to us bitch about this campaign, you can just go to the campaign website where you can hang with outtakes, teasers and additional footage of the skater boys doing their thing with their thumbs. Created by Heat, the commercial were shot by The Malloys and edited by Phoenix Editorial & Design's Bob Frisk.

Comment by TJ on September 5, 2007 at 2:38pm: Actually I saw the ads run and I have to admit, at first, it was kind of funny, a bit on the lame side but funny... then I thought of just how many fat-assed kids are slowly becoming an actual PART of the couch they have come to spend hours and hours on...which was depressing.

Remember when you actually PLAYED baseball, had dirt-clod fights and rode a bike doing wheelie contests with buddies dehydrating yourself to the point of passing out...now the kids get winded going to the fridge for a JUMBO burrito and an energy drink...I do like the Honda ad where Jeremy Mcgraths(7-time WORLD MX champion) video game character stops - mid game- and yells at the kids to stop PLAYING him in a game and go outside and RIDE like him in the real outdoors...Honda hit it a bit with that one.
