Advertisements

"*And here we find the lowest form of advertising possible, which is advertising within the comment section of another advertisement.*"
―Erik
Advertisements is the 53rd lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was released on August 25, 2016.

## Summary

Erik talks about the different types of advertisements: good advertisements, bad advertisements, annoying advertisements like Head On, and advertisements that are works of art like a commercial by Showtyme Home Furnishings. Then he leaves a comment that also gets posted as a tweet. He advertises his lesson that teaches you how to do that.

Erik watches some ads, including a Camel cigarette commercial and a Folgers' incest commercial. Then Erik notes that adblock users don't see ads, so he puts a Chocobo ad right into his video and puts a fake Skip Ad button on it. But then the button becomes clickable and takes the student that clicks on it past the ad.

Moving on to YouTube ads, Erik explains that the standards for YouTube ads are much lower. Anyone can make a YouTube ad, and ads like Chuck Testa can get millions of views. He also looks at real commercials that went viral. Erik also wants to show a sexy commercial, so he watches an ad for a sex toy. The comments underneath the video display no etiquette, so Erik posts one of his own. Next, he watches a video of a robot killing itself, but it's just dreaming. Robot clarifies that robots don't actually sleep. For the last video, he watches a commercial for veal.

Erik ends the lesson by offering the end of his video as ad space and chatting on YouNow.

*His eyes moved to the red ribbon she had planted on his right pectoral muscle. He saw something in her eyes when she touched him. A recognition of firmness. After all, he was toned to perfection from weeks of rebuilding a church in Rokoray, along the northern banks of the Great Scarcies River. He had met a woman there who reminded him of his sister. He cared for her, taught her a fledgling example of English, had even found himself feeling love for her. That was not a sisterly love however. Then again... was this?**He began to open his mouth. Any moment his parents would walk downstairs. The look on her face said they were on the same channel. Everything he had just thought, she heard it. He spoke.**"Listen, when mom and dad go out to say hi to the Gelsons next door tonight, let's hang back, go upstairs and fuck the shit out of each other."**"What?" She answered, bewildered.**"C'mon let's do it. Let's fuck. Haven't we always wanted this?" He reached out to reassure her, but she pulled away, fear in her eyes. "Whoa whoa. Uh no I'm just happy you're home from Africa. What the hell are you talking about wanting to fuck me? Are you seriou-" And like a blade being hammered on the anvil, his father's voice rang out from behind him:
"WHAT IN SAM HILL IS GOING ON HERE?"**"I can explain..." he stammered, but was cut off by the visceral scream from his mother as she began sobbing into her bathrobe. His father erupted, white morning spittle shooting from the corners of his mouth.**"NO SON OF MINE IS GONNA DRINK FUCKING FOLGERS COFFEE!" He belted his son in the face, knocking the boy unconscious. “THIS IS A PEETS COFFEE HOUSE!"**Drink Peets Coffee.*

*I've been in the ad business since the 70's and I just don't get it anymore. I've worked millions of hours, attended thousands of meetings and handled hundreds of clients and in all that time, I never thought that getting two youtube jerkoffs to spend 50 bucks on a commercial would get the bigger audience. Thankfully, I've been hired by this place called "Correct the Record" to go online and tell you kids to vote for that gash Hillary. Shit did I type that out loud? Oh no Jimmy you did it again, there goes that job. Knew I shouldn't have gotten this voice to text software. Burp.*

*Caught my son fucking one of these things, and man I gotta say the molding on thosefingers spreading the asshole apart are top notch. I honestly thought my son had chopped a woman to pieces and was fucking her dismembered, blood-drained, pelvic region. You can imagine my surprise when I realized it was just high quality hand poured thermoplastic rubber. I'll bet if you goddamn nerds put half the time into curing cancer as you did figuring out ways to fuck fake pussies, I'd have twenty more years to live right now. See the shadow masters hit me with their tumor satellite because I found out tower 7 was hosting an illuminati meeting the day of 9/11, and George Bush was actually trying to save the world by hitting that shit with his plane holograms.*
