Advertising Executive 1: We’ve got to find a new way to appeal to the youth of today. What are they into?
Advertising Executive 2: SEXTing.
Advertising Executive 1: That might not work for Disney. What else?
Advertising Executive 2: Funny YouTubes!
Advertising Executive 1: Go on.
Advertising Executive 2: Let’s make a parody of a funny YouTube!
Advertising Executive 1: This is good. Let’s keep thinking about this.
Advertising Executive 2: How about that one video where the MMA fighter with an obvious marijuana habit has a nervous breakdown in the woods.
Advertising Executive 1: Is that something the kids will relate to?
Advertising Executive 2: It doesn’t matter! They’re kids! It’s on the Internet!
Advertising Executive 1: So let me get this straight, in order to promote Tangled, the new Walt Disney update of the Rapunzel fairy tale, which is already irreverent to the point of being nonsensical, and doesn’t seem like something that would appeal to anyone, even a child with no discernible taste, we’re going to make a parody of a viral video that is not particularly interesting to children since it doesn’t feature anyone falling down or farting, and is actually just three minutes of shaky nature footage with a grown man crying in the background, a video that bears absolutely NO relation in either theme or tone to the movie we are trying to promote?
Advertising Executive 2: Exactly.
Advertising Executive 1: Good work.
Advertising Executive 2: Thank you. More cocaine?

The inevitable there’s a rapist in the Hundred Acre Woods will cause a lot of controversy
Mickey At Dentist is amazing. Nothin’ like seeing a mouse trippin’ balls!
Mickey: Is this real life?
Walt: For the last fucking time, NO.
And the Donald Duck goatse incident was, at best, wildly inappropriate, and I made sure to let them know in my angry letter that it was a slightly outdated attempt.
He’s climbing in your trees,
He’s snatching your people up.
Snatching your honey up.
Wait, Disney is trying to capitalize on the Double Rainbow guy? Pokemon is so pissed right now.
They should’ve gone with “They Rapunzel everybody out hair.”
Double Rainbow + Blair Witch Project = Awesome and not at all scary advertising strategy for a children’s movie.
Because if there’s anything kids love more than viral videos that are no longer viral, it’s movies that were made and forgotten before the kids in question were even born!
The could call it the Brown Witch Problem and it could be about poop
or just mix it in with 2 girls and 1 cup and get all the fanbases
all your fanbase are belong to us

Bing is right this time, you guys. It should be Disney OR Double Rainbow, not Disney AND Double Rainbow.
Call me when the prince smoke salvia.
*smokes*….hmmmm, guess I shouldnta smoked all that salvia.
At least the remake stays true to the original theme of “dude saves imprisoned girl,” which is the best part of fairy tales. That’s why I never leave the house: I’m The Secreting myself a “rescue” by a “handsome prince.”
yeah Disney has been going downhill since the Advertising Executives from FOX started freelancing there
Somebody in Disney’s marketing department was possessed by the ghost of Rick James, huh?
UGGGGH WITH THIS MEME.
It makes me so sad when a meme that originally made me laugh hysterically (Double Rainbow, Antoine Dodson, Sad Keanu for example) becomes so overused, ubiquitous, and part of the popular lexicon that it is no longer funny and actually really annoying (at least until everyone forgets about it and then it can be funny again).
This makes me feel like a comedy hipster. “What are you laughing at?” “You wouldn’t know, its too obscure.”
I was hoping they would have incorporated Hedo Rick somehow. The rippin’ and the tearin’…
Gross, I am going to jail. Bye!
Isn’t John Lasseter like the boss or something now? Can’t he stop this?
Either I’m a perv, or there’s some serious not-so-subliminal phallic undertones in this promo.
With that said, double tower = Devil’s Dong.
Advertising Executive 3: Needs more BLAM!
I am sorry but that Twin Towers reference is just downright offensive to me and my fellow Americans
(I am not American) (But aren’t we all really, deep down inside, Americans in such tragic times)
I didn’t even catch that, and I doubt the execs did either. Looks like someone’s getting fired!
Honestly, how hard is it to sell something to a kid? Answer: Not all that hard.
Half the revenue that children’s movies make is from adults. Their studios will spend more time trying to sell their film to the adults. The adults that will see these previews and think “For the sake of my child, I can probably stand this for an hour and a half.
All that being said, i could not stand this for an hour an half.
When I first heard about this film, this was the only conceptual image they had;
The fact that it went from Rococo masterpiece to Double Rainbow Shrek makes, I’m sure, perfect sense to everyone in the movie industry.
Using big words that they dont understand.

It would be genius if the character was like this in the actual movie.
