- Azdak, on 11/15/2009, -1/+23this is not a flash mob. This is a commercial for Office Max full of paid actors. Bury this trash.
- rotarychainsaw, on 11/15/2009, -1/+18Urge to kill rising...
- Idiggapony, on 11/15/2009, -1/+14This was a commercial for OfficeMax. Does it still count as a flash mob?
- Idiggapony, on 11/15/2009, -0/+11I looked up the definition of flash mob on wikipedia (perhaps not the most authoritative source, but that's what I did). Here's what it said:
"A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse. The term flash mob is generally applied only to gatherings organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails. The term is generally not applied to events organized by public relations firms or as publicity stunts."
So I guess a group of dancers who are paid to shoot a commercial in a public place doesn't really qualify as a flash mob. - IamZed, on 11/15/2009, -2/+10Thats why we legalized concealed carry in my state.
- HeDiggMe, on 11/15/2009, -1/+7So when do they do their Halloween flash mob? August?
- daEvan, on 11/15/2009, -0/+6Santa's gonna be pissed that these guy's are singing in New York when they're supposed to be fast at work in the North Pole.
- davidwasman, on 11/15/2009, -0/+6Dear OfficeMax,
Stop trying to be hip. You suck at it.
Signed,
EVERYONE - Valyn, on 11/15/2009, -0/+4No it doesn't it counts as corporate *****.
- bro2baseball, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3A flash mob is random people coming together to do something, not a bunch of costumed dancers.
- cyborgcommando0, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2Santa is a pretty good choreographer!
- iwalkintodoors, on 11/15/2009, -1/+3Flash mobs are one of the worst scourges of the internets.
- lorm, on 11/15/2009, -3/+5Too well rehearsed to be a "flash mob", but VERY entertaining and well put on.
- mikehollywood, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1Actually, it's OfficeMax... good branding, no?
- bizzywho, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1It sounds like their chanting "HELP YOURSELF!" at the end instead of "ELF YOURSELF!"
I wonder for the people watching, if the message sunk in properly... - EdgarVerona, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Not an Erfworld-style Flash mob I take it? =)
- eanbowman, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1The elf on a Segway was pretty amusing.
The ones on unicycles juggling were better. - Leopards, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Thought the Costumes looked a little to Uniform and pricey for a flash mob! I think the Hammer pants were abou as expensive as you can expect for something like this if it is for real!
- theword12, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1First I thought this was done by a group similar to improve everywhere, but no, it's a commercial for Office Depot. Incredibly disappointed.
- inactive, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Wait - this whole thing is just one big advertisement.
My damn ! - ancientdinko, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1hmmmm....I now see why "MADE IN NORTH POLE" presents suck
- vaderson, on 11/16/2009, -0/+0This would have been far better if it wasn't just an advertisement. I liked the randomness of it until I was let down by another cynical marketing ploy. Again.
- bizzywho, on 11/15/2009, -2/+1What the hell was with the random guy wearing the werewolf mask at 1:37?
