How would you have advertised LT: BIA? Round 2?

[mbaker]

I saw this (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=115832&highlight=Geico) on the old Termite Terrace Trading Post some time back, and i really go a kick out of some of the ideas for promoting "Looney Tunes: Back In Action" that could've been works of genius. Anyway, i'd like to continue this fun little thread with more funny advertising ideas.

Here's an idea I had:

(A live action blond teenage girl, and her black/asian/hispanic friend go to the movies to see the latest Hilary Duff/Linsay Lohan crapfest titled "Hilary Vs. Linsay". A nod to "Alien Vs. Predator" with the slogan "Whoever wins, we lose".)

:p So Like, i'm so totally excited to see Hilary Duff, and Linsay Lohan together for like the first time!

:confused: Oh, yeah, like totally!

(They walk up to Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck working at the ticket booth.)

:daffy: Good morning ladies. What movie will you be seing? as if it even cared.

:p Two for "Hilary Vs. Linsay"!

:bugs1: Eh, i don't think that's a good movie for you girls to see. It's got chainsaw wielding maniacs, alien invaders from mars, giant mutant spiders, wacky tentical monsters, extreme voilence, and naugty gunplay.

:daffy: Not to mention two bit lizards who con people into buying car insurance from them.

:p EEEEEK, Omigod, like that's so disgusting!

:confused: So like, what should we go see instead?

:bugs1: Have i got a movie for you! "Loony Tunes Back In Action"!

(A few funny scenes from the movie are shown while stock 1950's Carl Stalling music is playing in the background.)

:daffy: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll see pigs in the sky! WHOO-WHOO!

:bugs1: Dosn't that look great?

:p OMIGOD, THAT LOOKS SO TOTALLY COOL!

:confused: YEAH, LIKE TOTALLY!

:bugs1: You won't regret it, girls! This is the movie event of the year!

(Teen girls pay their tickets to see "Looney Tunes Back In Action")

:daffy: At least it'll keep those brats ocupied until "Spider-Man 2" comes out.

:bugs1: Eh, it's a living.

:buddy: "Looney Tunes: Back in Action." See it with your best friend! Coming to theaters November 14th!

[UncleJunior]

Narrator: Throughout the history of time, there have been many questions that have been unanswered. One of them is why Daffy Duck became a greedy, selfish duck.

Daffy: You ain't whistling Dixie, brother? I like to know myself.

Narrator: Well, you will. Because coming to theaters this November, there will be a movie that hopefully will help answer that question, and will bring back the old Daffy, the REAL Daffy. Oh and Bugs Bunny is in it too.

LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION.

Coming this November.

[mbaker]

(A group of Pokemon creatures go the the theater to see their latest movie. Suddenly, an anouncement is made on the speakers)

:) Attention everyone. We have 100 packs of Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck trading cards for the first 100 people who go see "Looney Tunes Back In Action"!

(A huge crowd of people rush to the ticket booth stepping all over the hapless Pokemon creatures. Soon, Bugs, and Daffy walk past the trampled Pokemon.)

:bugs1: Hmmm. That's gotta hurt.

:daffy: I'll say. A guy could get injured if he's not too careful.

:bosko: "Looney Tunes Back In Action"! In theaters November 14th. But if you want to see "Pokemon 4", (In a loud voice like the whispering in the ear gag) TOO BAD!!!!!!

I thought of a bunch today:

1. Sylvester & Tweety performing as a Las Vegas lounge act.

Tweety: Don't go bweaking my heart.

Sylvester: I couldn't if I tried. Tweety if I get rethhhhhlethhhhhh.........

Tweety: Puddy, you're not dat kind.

Tweety & Sylvester: OOOOH OOOOOH! Nobody knows it.......

(Joe Dante leaps into frame)

Joe: Hey, Sylvester & Tweety, you don't have to do this anymore. I've got you guys "back in action"!!

Sylvester: You mean I can do this?! (swings at Tweety with a mallet but misses)

Tweety: And dis? (Hits Sylvester with a boxing glove)

Joe: Absolutely! Come on, let's go!!

LT:BIA logo and release date appear at bottom as all three walk out.

2. Daffy and Elmer are standing in a motel room wearing boxer shorts.

Offscreen director: Okay, boys, in this scene you two return to your motel room and find these two broads are in here. Okay, ladies. Disrobe!

Sound of robes hitting the floor. Daffy does a wild, excited take. Elmer's entire body turns beat red and he sheepishly laughs uncontrolably.

Joe Dante enters.

Joe: Guys, you don't have to do this now. I and Warner Bros. have officially got you "back in action"!

Elmer (clutching Joe's leg): OH! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you...........

Daffy: Aw, please, Joe. Can't I have just half an hour of retirement?

Joe: No! Come on!

Daffy: Then how about 15 minutes? 10? 7 2/3? 3 4/17? 20 seconds?

LT:BIA logo and release date is on bottom of screen as everyone leaves.

3. Bugs is the host of Big Brother.

Bugs: Nyeeeh, okay everyone. You've all done good so far. But, the final test for the grand prize is to use the bathroom after Taz.

Taz emerges from the bathroom. Green steam rises from within.

Taz: MMMMMMPH! Bad antelope!

Joe Dante enters.

Joe: Bugs, Taz, you don't have to lower yourself to this. I, WB, and a dedicated staff are putting you guys "back in action"!!!

Bugs: Hey! Tanks, Joe! Race you to the WB studio, baggy-eyes! (Slaps Taz on back, then starts tunneling out of frame).

Taz gets mad and starts spinning wildly out of frame.

Joe (stands around ackwardly for a few seconds): Could someone please close that bathroom door?!

4. A South Park episode is being shown. All 'questionable words' are drowned out with a beep. Camera pulls back to reveal that the Roadrunner is supplying the beeps in a recording studio.

Joe Dante enters.

Joe: Hey, Roadrunner, you don't have to do this. I and WB are putting you "back in action". Let's go!

A saw is cutting a hole around the Roadrunner but he steps off before the floor gives way. Wile E. Coyote emerges from the hole, makes one desperate grab for the Roadrunner but he's left the frame by now. However, the Roadrunner does pop his head back in to shout "Beep Beep" and spook Wile E. back down into the hole.

LT:BIA logo and release date is shown at the bottom of the screen.

5. Yosemite Sam is in charge of a "boy band" (of which Sylvester Jr. is a member). After watching them practice, he loses his temper.

Sam: IS THAT WHAT YOU CONSARN IDJITS CALL CHOREOGRAPHY??!! WATCH ME AGAIN!! BUT ACTUALLY PAY ATTENTION THIS TIME!!! (Sam starts doing all sorts of dance moves).

Joe Dante enters.

Joe: Sam, you don't have to do this. I and WB are putting you "back in action"!!

Sam: Really? YAHOOO!! I can't WAIT to blast that ornery varmint rabbit!!

Joe (rolling eyes): Don't worry, Sam, you will.

Sylvester Jr: Oh boy! Doing cartoons again! Wait 'til I tell my father!! (runs out)

Boy band member: Well, I guess the band is over. (Pulls out a bottle of vodka and chugs entire contents).

6. Sign on the barn says "Chicken Fight Tonight". Foghorn Leghorn and Barnyard Dawg are wrestling in mud as a crowd full of rednecks cheer them on.

Foghorn (aside to tv audience): I'm slingin' more mud than a pig running for office. (continues fighting)

Joe Dante enters.

Joe: Boys, you don't have to do this. I and WB are going to put you and the gang "back in action"!!

Foghorn: Do you mean - Ah say - do you mean it, Joe?

Joe: I do!

Foghorn (to rednecks): Boys, it looks like both me and Br'er Dawg won this one.

Rednecks get mad and start throwing things at them. Foggy, Dawg and Joe run for their lives.

LT:BIA logo and release date is shown at bottom of screen.

7. William Shatner is droning on about his career while Porky is the unfortunate soul that has to record it all.

Shatner: But really, Star Trek wouldn't have survived without my input. You see, I was the one that suggested Spock be second in comand and it was I who came up with the notion that Captain Kirk have a relationship with every beautiful female alien on that show. I was a co-writer really.........

As Shatner talks we see Porky unsuccessfully trying to stay awake.

Joe Dante sneaks in.

Joe (whispering): Psst, Porky, you don't have to do this anymore. I and WB are putting all the Looney Tunes "back in action".

Porky (now excited): R-r-r-r-r-really? T-t-t-tr-tr-t-t-tr-honestly?

Joe: Absolutely. You can come as soon as this is over I guess.

Porky: A-a-a-a-are you kidding? So long, Mr. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-BALDY!!

Porky and Joe exit as Shatner goes on talking.

Shatner: Now the T.J. Hooker years are particularily fascinating because.......

(Halle Berry in Catwoman drag is walking around the garbage cans looking for fish bones. She walks past Sylvesterlooking for fishbones himself.)

:tweety: This wittle piddy went to market, this wittle piddy stayed home, this wittle piddy had wost beef, and this wittle piddy had...

(A married couple discuss their problems with eachother.)

John: Oh, forgive me, Martha. I know i'm not perfetc. I never have enough money to make ends meet, but gosh darnet, i love you!

Martha: I know we've been falling behind, but i'm still not sure if i want to spend the rest of my life with you?

John. Anyway, i have some good news.

Martha: What is it, honey?

John: I'm gonna go see "Looney Tunes Back In Action" on November 14th!

(The Geico Gecko steps in, and interrupts the whole scene.)

Gecko: HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOOOOOLD IT! Your not suppose to say that! Your suppose to say "I just saved a bundle of money by switching to Geico!" STICK TO THE SCRIPT!

(Suddenly, an anvil falls onto the Gecko, and Bugs Bunny steps in chomping on a carrot.)

Bugs: Eh, I don't know about you doc, but confidentially, that little nimrod was very annoying.

Announcer: "Looney Tunes Back In Action"! Hilarity, insured! Coming to theaters November 14th!

[Daffysleftfoot]

I know this one would NEVER make it to the airwaves which is a shame because it should.

We interrupt this program for a special news bulliten.

Anchor: Good evening, America. We have just received word that an Al-Qaeda operative is in New York planning an attack of another major monument as we speak. Oh, I'm told we have a live feed of the perpetrator available. As soon as the image comes up KFWB will take you there.

(That arab from Ali Baba Bound with a missle on his head is in the streets of New York.

Arab: Oh boy oh boooooooy! I wanna get in the battle! I wanna destroy a monument! Boy oh boy oh booooooooooooy!

He sees the Statue of Liberty.

Arab: Oh boy! Now's me big chaaaaaaaaance!

Gets in charging stance and runs at top speed towards Lady Liberty.

Arab: Outa da way! Outa da waaaaaaaaaaaay! Beep Beep!

Bugs pokes his head out from behind the Empire State Building and grabs the Arab who continues running uninterrupted. Bugs then tilts the Arab upwards and puts him on the wall so that the Arab is now running up the Empire State.

Arab: Outa da way! Outa da waaaaaaaaaay!

Gruesome Gorilla is on top of the building playing King Kong. The Arab runs into him and both fly into the stratosphere and explode. The explosion remnants form "Looney Tunes: Back in Action coming November 14".

Back to news studio.

Anchor: Yes, the world is safe once again because the Looney Tunes are back in action!

I thought of a bunch today:

1. Sylvester & Tweety performing as a Las Vegas lounge act.
2. Daffy and Elmer are standing in a motel room wearing boxer shorts.
3. Bugs is the host of Big Brother.
4. A South Park episode is being shown. All 'questionable words' are drowned out with a beep. Camera pulls back to reveal that the Roadrunner is supplying the beeps in a recording studio.

7. William Shatner is droning on about his career while Porky is the unfortunate soul that has to record it all.

Mostly excellent and very twisted ideas! I especially like #1, #2 and #4. Though I would get rid of #3 and use Bugs instead of Joe Dante in all the other six. (since when do directors appear in commercials for their own films? and who the frig knows who Joe Dante's is or looks like?).

In an office somewhere in LA, a threapist is talking to a piantent.

Doctor: So, what have you been seeing?
Paitent: Well, doctor. I've had these bizzare sights. I've seen a rabbit, a duck, a coyote, a road runner and a few other creatures telling me to see this movie. (we find out that the threapist is :bugs1: )
:bugs1: : You ain't dreaming!
:daffy: : Not dreaming indeed, we want you to see this movie. Tell friends to see this movie! So go on, see it!
:dodo:: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the man is so scared by :dodo: he rushes to the theater to see the movie, we zoom down a few seats and see :bosko: , :honey: and :buddy: )
:bosko: :honey:: Come see Looney Tunes: Back In Action! Coming to theaters Novemeber 14th.
:buddy:: And DON'T see The Cat In The Hat.

[mbaker]

While E. Coyote recives a set of mechanical arms (ala Doc Ock) from the Acme catalog, tries them on, and starts chasing after The Road Runner. In hot persuit, The Road Runner lures While E. to a railroad track. Suddenly, all four tentical arms get stuck on the railways, and a train starts coming towards him. Flattening him like a pancake.

:coyote: (Holding up a sign that reads "Ow, my back")

We then see The Road Runner onboard the train looking at the audience.

:beepbeep: (Holding up a sign that reads "Next time, take the train") Meep Meep!

:bosko: "Spider-Man 2" won't come out 'till next year, but "Looney Tunes Back In Action" is coming to theaters November 14th!

[Boy Wonder]

Direct to video release! That's all I would say.

It starts off like a typical Speedy Gonzales cartoon where he's being chased by Sylvester. All of a sudden, Speedy is scooped up in a net by a menacing live action guy.

LA Guy: Mr. Gonzales, you're under arrest for a negative Mexican stereotype. You're coming with me.

All of a sudden, several real Latinos as well as Latino celebrities (Cheech Marin, Horatio Sanz, Jennifer Lopez, etc.) come forward and demand Speedy's release.

Sylvester comes forward dressed like a female mouse.

Sylvester: Senior policia, I am Speedy's mother. Geeve heem to me and I'll take good care of heem.

LA Guy: Well, okay ma'am, but keep him off TV by the order of parent groups everywhere. (Guy drives away).

Sylvester (pulling of wig): Well, it's kind of hard to be on TV in my stomach. Muh ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Speedy pours hot sauce all over himself. When Sylvester eats Speedy, he turns red, spits Speedy out and then launches into space. The Latinos cheer Speedy on.

Speedy: Don't worry folks. I may not be on TV anymore, but you can see me in the new Looney Tunes: Back in Action coming November 14!!

Latinos: YAAAAAAAY! I'm seeing that tomorrow!!!

[Daffysleftfoot]

I thought of another one:

It starts with Ozzy Osbourne performing a song in concert. Filled with stage energy, he pulls Tweety out of a sack and tries to bite his head off.

Tweety: Oh oh! Ow! OOH! Quit it! Owch!!

Sylvester runs in and slaps Ozzy's hand knocking Tweety loose so that he can grab the bird.

Sylvester: Hands off, bub! That's MY job!

Sylvester then tries to bite Tweety's head off. But, now Ozzy knocks Tweety out of Sylvester's paws.

Ozzy: Hey, I'm doing a bleedin' concert here......

Sylvester and Ozzy argue with each other. Meanwhile, Tweety is sawing a circle around the two of them. As soon as Tweety's done, the little bit of stage falls away and both Sylvester & Ozzy give a paniced look to the camera just before they fall.

Announcer: Looney Tunes Back in Action! Coming November 14!!

Tweety listens to them falling. When Ozzy hits, a metalic sound is heard.

Tweety: Well, I guess he was "iron man" after all.

[mbaker]

(Daffy Duck is aduitioning for "American Idol" infront of Simon, Paula, and Randy)

Daffy: C'mon, pick me, pick me! I'm a great singer! Listen!

(Daffy grab a hat, and cane to show off his 'song, and dance' act)

Daffy: Charlston, Charlston, made in Carolina, some dance, some prance, i'll say, there's nothing better than a Charlston..

(Suddenly, Joe Dante steps in to tell Daffy the good news)

Joe Dante: Hey Daffy, you don't have to stoop that low, me, and Warner Bros. are putting you 'back in action'.

Daffy: Really?! YAHOOO!! YIPEEEE! WHOO-HOO! WHOO-HOO! WHOO-HOO!

(Daffy soon walks up to Simon, Paula, and Randy to tell them something important)

Daffy: Oh, and uh... confidentially, (Yelling directly in their faces) YOU STINK!!!
