'Safe And Sound, Living In A Box In His Attic!' Budweiser Taking Over The Gerard Butler SNL Tonight??

Published at:  Oct 17, 2009 11:32:21 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

"Take your shirt off! Do it!"

"Too many things to address!"

"We were just singing about it!"

"Well, we do! All the time!"

"Adding, 'C'mon guys, chase me!'"

"Also gay reasons!"



I am – Hercules!!

I guess we shouldn’t expect any ads for “Law Abiding Citizen” during tonight’s new Gerard Butler edition of “Saturday Night Live.” Something called Bud Light Golden Wheat has apparently bought every minute of the episode’s national ad time.

According to the Advertising Age:

As the Oct. 17 program moves into ad breaks, viewers will see segments entitled "Backstage with Bud Light Golden Wheat," which will feature a series of never-before-aired clips from "SNL" throughout the years. Ad breaks will also include highlights from live "SNL" viewing parties held in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia that will be "hosted" by Bud Light Golden Wheat.

In all, eight to nine minutes of Anheuser's commercial time will be devoted to content that makes use of "SNL"-related material, said Lorne Michaels, the show's longtime executive producer.

Viewers can expect to see "SNL" content that has never aired before, such as segments from the program's dress rehearsals, which are performed before a live audience and often contain material that does not make it on air.


Anybody know where the Los Angeles party is?

    Gerard Butler

    by incomplete gamer

    Beyond the spelling error in the title ... I am really confused as to why Gerard Butler is so bloody popular all of a sudden. I know he was in stuff before 300, but rarely as the lead. But all of a sudden he's everywhere. Maybe it's just that all of his movies seem to come out within a few months of each other. Gamer, Law Abiding Citizen and The Ugly Truth all hit weeks apart. And even though all three of those are different genres, not a single one is worth watching. In fact, since 300 the only movie of his I've liked is RockNRolla. If he's going to be everywhere, at least give us some quality films to watch.

    This, to me, doesn't sound any worse than normal commercials. I'll probably be watching on DVR anyway, but, I'll still check the ads out if theys funny. I think SNL has a really great cast, I'm just not very fond of some of the writing these days. Seth doesn't do much for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a SNL fan, have been all my life, and I think it's funny that people have bitched about the current cast since the 70's. Hahaha.

    Advertising

    by mraig

    Sorry, does nobody else think that this story is interesting enough to warrant more discussion than "SNL sucks"/"why is xxxx the host?" Television advertising has been going through some radical changes lately, and after decades of (as far as I know) more or less staying similar. But Internet viewing and DVRs and all that are forcing companies to change the way they advertise, and I find it--well, I'm not sure if I find it fascinating or disturbing.

    It sounds like what this is going to be (although they don't exactly say it) is a bunch of extra SNL sketches with Budweiser somehow incorporated into them, which play during or instead of the "real" commercials (similar to the Pepsi/Macgruber series linked in the article). Is this a Good thing or a Bad thing for us television customers? Does it mean we get more entertainment during our 90 minutes, or is any piece created primarily as a commercial automatically tainted? I guess individual results may vary. I'll be interested to see what they mean by "clips from throughout the series history". Presumably that'll mean sketches that don't have anything to do with Budweiser--is the goal here to create goodwill by saying "Here, enjoy a Chris Farley sketch, courtesy of Budweiser" (with maybe a Budweiser logo in the bottom corner of the screen)?

    What I find even more interesting/potentially disgusting is the fairly new trend of incorporating hardcore product placement into shows. Of course, the whole "during dinner, everyone's holding a Coke can with the label pointed at the camera" thing is at least two or three decades old, but lately they've been going far beyond it, incorporating brands and products into the storylines themselves.

    The classic example for me is the episode of Friends where the plot is that Rachel and Phoebe are living together, Phoebe wants to buy authentic, quirky antiques, but Rachel gets everything from Pottery Barn; Phoebe initially resists, but finally realizes how much she loves Pottery Barn and wants to buy everything there herself. Of course, Pottery Barn paid the show to do this story, and I'm sure there was a specific contract about how many times the name "Pottery Barn" had to be mentioned, how positive a light the store had to be depicted in, and maybe Pottery Barn even had script approval. This totally blurs the line between entertainment and advertising: the whole episode was essentially a 22-minute commercial. This kind of thing is more and more common on all different kinds of shows (even on SNL; it's no coincidence when they do sketches like "Target Lady").

    So, I don't know what to think. Maybe it's naive to pretend that ANY form of entertainment that's sold to us is anything other than a piece of marketing of one kind or another. Our model of network television has always been funded by ad sales; that's the point of the whole thing. Art and commercialism and/or propaganda have been existing side-by-side forever, and maybe none of this is any different. And maybe it's time I stopped rambling about it.

    Hate to comment before I see it, but I agree. It'll be interesting to see how this works and the way it't incorporated. Mad Men (OMG! Mad Men Rulz) did something similar earlier this season with Fleishman's (or was it Smirnoff) Vodka that wasn't exactly subtle, yet worked in the framework of the show.

    Interesting post. I think things like this are almost a revert to the 50s when TV first appeared- the shows were live so they'd just have an announcer say "Now a word from..." and the cast or a spokesman would plus a product. I'm working through the old Twilight Zone on DVD and (while that show wasn't live) every ep ends with a word from our alternate sponsor, followed by Serling plugging next week's episode.

    by rockness

    You bet there is a specific contract. I used to work in this field. Here goes nothing:

    When a product is mentioned twice in an act(between commercial breaks) there is money exchanging hands. If the double mention is within 30 seconds, then more money is exchanged hands. If the mention is within 30 seconds of a visible shot of the logo or product, then even more money is exchanged hands.

    Now keep this in mind when you are watching SNL or Leno or anything like that. Notice when Leno does his monologue he'll always go "So today at McDonalds, Kevin you know about McDonalds right?" Double mention within 30 seconds. $$$. SNL does this often too. Procedurals too. Pay attention you'll see tons. For instance in this week's It's Always Sunny, Frank goes "Let's go get sweaty in the Wendy's bathroom." then Dee goes "Fine. Go to Wendy's."

    Nothing is by accident. It's all money.

I think it is funny when people bitch and moan, but still tune in, and finish the episode every week, then get on here and bitch some more.

    by mr. murdoch

    I think I've seen Franco show up before just randomly. Franco IS taking classes both at Columbia AND NYU, for filmmaking/directing, so since they know he's in town all the time right now, Lorne Michaels probably calls him up every few weeks and says, "Hey, come on down to the studio, hang out for some skits, and grab some free food and drinks afterwards!" But he sure does the "WTF am I doing here?!" quite well...too well, in fact...

    And yeah, I was thinking the same thing: Shakira IS looking more and more like Beyonce, and she DOES look different. WTF is up with that?

    Was a highlight for me. Also, I thought just the opposite of Shakira's lip synching. I thought it was obvious that she wasn't.

    Franco correction...

    by mr. murdoch

    It appears Franco is enrolled in an MFA Writing program at Columbia, though also taking film and other classes at Tisch/NYU. Either way, he must either know someone on SNL, or they must be offering him some free exposure...and drinks.

    Yeah, this was probably the best episode of the season thus far, which really isn't saying much. Best of the bunch was the Beauty and the Beast sketch IMHO.

    "Put head in hand I smash it now." The Rock

    by sid 8.0

    Obama got to love it. Butler did a great job last night. "I'll be orbiting around your anus." and "I can't piss myself anymore than I already have." oh Daveheart.
    What up wit dat was funny too especially Jason Sudekis' dancing his ass off. Not a fan of Shakira but I think I'd go see her in concert just because. 300 skit was funny too. "Even when we were having sex?"

    Must Get Annoying For All The Other Women

    by crow3711

    I can picture them backstage, during the week, coming up with sketches. "Okay, we need a woman in this sketch to play this part...how about...Wiig!" Every. Single. Time. I mean, yes, shes very funny, in almost everything. But someone else could also be given a shot at most of them. It must be awkward for her especially to be put in every skit, while the other females members sit backstage all night and do their bit part in one lonesome sketch. It's almost weird.

    by crow3711

    Anyone could have done that part. Didn't have to be her. It wasn't aprticularly funny, and Abby is way more "Beauty" than Wiig. It's weird she was put in that skit instead of someone else.

    Butler was a great host I thought

    by cherryvalance

    and James Franco just sitting there was really funny. I think he's really interesting. The General Hospital thing makes me think he's really into being an all-around entertainer. I think that's pretty awesome.

    Back to Butler. I'm still not a fan of his singing voice but that Beauty and the Beast stuff cracked me up. He's a lot funnier than I expected.

    Good ep, but man is Wiig hogging the limelight...

    by burnhollywood

    ...And I LIKE Wiig, but shit...give the other girls a chance, especially Abby. She's starting to remind me of Mo Collins on MadTV, who's continual presence started to get tiresome, despite her talents.

    ...If their remaining fans would quit trying to contrast how "great" the show is compared with that "awful" FAMILY GUY. Sounds snobby as shit, especially when even the FG spin-off CLEVELAND SHOW is beating them in the ratings.

    About choosing the girls...

    by bizarrojerry

    Everything I've ever heard about women on SNL is you have to fight to get yourself on the air. Well, even the men do, as well. But they obviously like Wiig, and some of these sketch ideas may be her own. You gotta get yourself on the show, it seems. Jenny Slate did get to "star" in her own sketch in episode one, and we know how that turned out. Not sure it was funny, anyway.

    Uneven audience in Obama sketch...

    by bizarrojerry

    I think the SNL folks have to realize the more specific you get with a political sketch, the less funny it is. Having those specific senators and discussing them takes some people out of it. Now, everyone knew the basic "some buy yelled out 'you lie!' during obama's speech" story, so that sketch did well. But not everyone knows what a "blue dog democrat" is. Yer political humor has to be for the masses...

    'Family Guy' started that war...

    by cheyne_stoking_dms

    between the shows. MacFarlane thought he was funny by having Peter say something like "Hey, you ever notice Simpsons just isn't funny anymore?" Yet 'The Simpsons' has been on air for over 20 years and 'Family Guy' was axed for like 5 years only resurrected by the cyborgs at Fox because they needed their "new Simpsons."

    by cheyne_stoking_dms

    'The Simpsons.' It's a brand new Macfarlane show. Simpsons is what the "critics" would call "old and unfunny." Things will change once people realize how much 'The Cleveland Show' fucking sucks. Just as they realized 'American Dad' fucking sucks (constant hiatus).

    Bullshit. Ever since FAMILY GUY debuted, I've been watching SIMPSONS and SOUTH PARK fans slam the show (never got that...you'd think animation fans would be glad to have more options). Payback's a bitch, and now McFarlane's laughing all the way to the bank.

    you've been watching the fans slam the show??? It's not like I gave an example from 'Family Guy' or anything. Payback? Yes, I'm sure Seth MacFarlane gives a fuck what 'Simpsons' and 'South Park' fans think. Y'know, I'm sure Kanye West and Barack Obama give a shit what the critics think, for that matter.

    by meadowe

    That's why they had to show bloopers from when the show was good. That said, the Beast and the Beast sketch was one of the funniest of all time imo, and I liked shakira's 1st dance performance, her second was anticlimactic, beating on those bigass drums. Was coo' to see james franco there; didn't recognize him @ first.....seeing him with longer hair than usual makes me want to watch Tristan & Isolde when I get home.
