Ideas for Devils commercials

Sparked by the Ryan Miller Amped commercial, I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas for Devils commercials.

I mentioned it in another thread, but I think it would be funny to see maybe the whole team line up for a rollercoaster, each player wearing their jersey. They stop at the height requirement board, each standing with their back to it and the ride attendant making sure they are above the line. Then Gionta walks up to it and stands on his toes or has his skates on so that he is tall enough. The attendant tells him he cannot wear his skates on the ride, and he sighs and walks away with his head down, or even sits with sutter on the bench next to the coaster looking dejected. To end it, Sutter says "that ride isn't fast enough for you anyway" and they cut to a clip of Gio flying by a defenseman and scoring.

Another commercial would show the lockerroom before a game and everyone gearing up. There is a knock at the door, and a mailman asks if Zach Parise is there. The mailman then walks in with like 3 or 4 bags of mail for him. All the players gather around and start reading the letters, each one saying something like "Dear Zach, will you marry me? Love Jenny" with each player saying it in a mushy way. Then have Parise say something like, "ha ha, very funny. Ya know, goalies love me too" and they show a few clips of him scoring goals.

Lets hear your ideas!

I don't really have any good ideas, but both of those made me laugh, and I'm still laughing (and they are both good ideas)!

One showing the team on the road on a travel day and being interviewed.

Open with a shot of Marty being asked what the guys like to do in their spare time and he answers "Well, a bunch of the guys like to get together in one of the rooms and play some games."

Cut to the room full of players and have them playing an assortment of board games. Cam Janssen and Asham playing Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots with the head popping up and Asham writing down the win on a tally sheet (117-119). Cut to Zubrus and Vishnevski playing speed chess while Brylin says "I've got next".

Cut to other corner where Marty, Gionta and Weekes are playing twister and both Marty and Weekes are in some crazy splits position while Elias says "Right hand blue Gio" and he can't reach it and falls.

Next cut to the coaches playing Monopoly with Lou and Vanderbeek and someone rolls and lands on Boardwalk with a hotel owned by Lou who's seen holding all the properties except the railroads which Vanderbeek is holding and saying "I thought these would be key to winning".

Cut to a shot of Doc and Chico playing scrabble and Doc laying down all his tiles to spell "garrulous" then Chico says "Ughhh, I dunno doc - is that even a word?"

Wipe to Devils upcoming game graphic and the usual tagline about Devils hockey

Cut back to guys in the truck with a dictionary looking it up and the producer saying to Chico through his ear piece "Garrulous - and adjective meaning to talk excessively in a rambling, roundabout manner, especially about trivial matters."

:sarcasm:

Anything with Doc and Chico involved will be gold.

I really like the first idea....i like played it in my head as I read it and that would just be awesome.

Haha, I can definitely see it. Maybe have Marty say something to the reporter in the beginning like "we don't do too much, we try to stay as focused as possible between games" then cut to everyone in the rooms playing around.

Devils commercials? :huh:

Devils Commercial = Jumbo Shrimp, Tragic Comedy, Civil War, Unbiased Opinion.... well.....you get the picture.

and as an added subliminal bonus to those that get it...in every shot, have Tommy Albelin, in full uniform, just standing in the back of every shot, watching.

Man, do you have to ruin the fun?!? :sarcasm:

Yeah, I know. It's just that the 1st thing that came to my mind is that you need a marketing department before you can have commercials. :sarcasm:

Oh right.....something we SERIOUSLY lack!

But, if the fans can come up with it, why not do it?? There are some pretty talented guys on here (Richer's Ghost comes to mind)...why can't the fans do it and get it out there?

Shhh! I'm want to get a job with them doing marketing even though I'm a finance major. I have tons of ideas, and at a previous job, I was told by everyone to write my ideas down because they were good. It just seems like a lack of a lot of common sense things to me on their behalf. I'll see something and say to myself, "why don't they just do xyz, it makes sense." I spoke with Peter McMullen a few months ago about an internship and I may call again sometime soon with some ideas. There is a ton of room for improvement all around.

ok picture this :

video of Kelley Clarkson singing and a blurb : "Want to be in the crowds for Kelley Clarkson?"

Video switches to David Clarkson shooting a goal. "Or would you prefer a more exciting Clarkson? "

Videos of him fighting and throwing his hands up for a goal

"The New Jersey Devils, live the excitement. Experience the real Rock tonight"

honestly dude, don't let your major restrict your capabilities. My buddy's uncle was a Political Science major and he's currently working for Citigroup on Wall St. as a big-time manager making 6 figures. I don't think those two things go hand in hand whatsoever, but he's damn good at what he does.

A degree really is just a piece of paper.

Yea, I am interning with Citigroup myself at Smith Barney which doesn't have much to do with marketing, but I can pretty much do anything. When I spoke to McMullen, he said that if he could do it over again, he would have majored in finance or accounting and minored in marketing or econ. In a sense, a major doesn't mean all that much if you have certain skills. I've been told dozens of times that I should be a sales person with my personality. This is what is making me think I would do very well with a marketing team in the sense that I would be selling a product (the devils) to non users (people who don't watch hockey) or rare users. (people who only watch occasionally)

Madden vs Madden

Scene with players leaving rink after practice/game and fans lined up outside waiting for autographs. John Madden walks over and begins signing a few photos/cards... walks down the line where a guy dressed in Oakland Raider costume (like below) hands him an 8x10 glossy of John Madden from the NFL.... John just stares up at him and hands it back and shakes his head continuing down the line...

Who owns our tv rights?
Yeah we are not seeing TV spots for a good long time.

I said something like that last year!!! It would be hilarious if they could get NFL John Madden in it too, maybe he be the guy asking for an autograph or something, but he would probably want a lot of money for that. Or, our Madden like sleeping in the middle of the night and his phone rings. He picks it up, and after a few seconds, goes, "for the 10th time, I'm not the commentator!" and hangs up and goes back to sleep.

I had an idea to play on that but i deleted it before i posted. But it was more like being in the old CAA, having Madden go over to a Giants game walk into the box under the impression the guys got him a box seat, but it's actually John Madden's (football) and then have them get into a conversation a bit, with Mad Dog at the end being like "oh yeah, you owe me royalties for that football game you got."

but yeah, it is pretty ****ing dumb, hence the deletion.

I really think the devils should do something like this, it pains me to say it, but something like the rangers commercials with bobby granger, theyre pretty funny.

Equity Research in Tribeca, or are you at one of the retail branches?

I remember a few years back in the playoffs they had a TV spot where the two Madden's met and talked. I want to say they were in an RV doing the segment.


A terribly bad one might be... Tie game on the scoreboard, with ten seconds left in the game. The Devs have it deep in the other team's end, and as the clock hits 4 or 5 seconds, Gionta gets it and the action stops, and he does a "Stop! Gio Time" dance ala MC Hammer, then play resumes and he snipes a corner on a slapshot.

Retail on Park Ave

I thought of this last year during the NHL: Players are like you and me campaign.

A bunch of devils players are at the movies. They start making noise. In the background you hear someone say “shush”.
The players continue to get nosier, kicking the seats of the people in front of them, (In the background you hear someone say “shush”)
A player responds back, by throwing popcorn in the direction of the person. “I am going to get security”.
With that, a popcorn food fight breaks out, and the usher comes to escort them out.
They pan over to the person and it is either Lamoriello or Vanderbeek with the line “Kids”.

Not a bad idea, I can visualize them all throwing popcorn at each other from now, lol.
