Title: The reason Marky Ramone didn't eat the ice cream
Post by: stig otracy on April 16, 2013, 10:56:39 PM
is because it was made of wax or something, otherwise it would be a puddle.

Surely they could have used the magic of television to cut in a shot of him eating the icecream? Or is it all shot in one take, Russian Ark style?

Having been on enough "shoots", there were definitely opportunities to provide Ramone with a functional real-life cone.

Also, for those of us who haven't been on a single shoot, we have surely seen movies or TV shows that featured people eating dessert at one point or another.

Tom.

Because he didn't want cottonmouth when he read the line "It's easy to fall in love with a legend."

I don't want to flaunt my experience as a Madman-style ad man in everyone's faces, but they definitely could have shot the bulk of the commercial, cut, brought in a proper ice cream, filmed a tight shot of Marky biting said ice cream, cut, taken five and refreshed Marky's parched mouth with a refreshing Gatorade, and then filmed the final line.

Indeed, and I apologise if this is too inside baseball, they could have even filmed the entire commercial with a fake icecream and then recorded the ice-cream eating scene at the end of the shoot, cutting it in to the correct place later using a non-linear editing system such as Avid, the industry standard non-linear editing system.

An example of my Madman-style ad man work as proof of my expertise:

What I really really really wanna know is when is Tom going to use his celebrity juice to get a Ramones reunion together? Tommy, Marky, Richie, CJ, and Elvis live in concert would be a sight to behold.

That Marky video makes one wonder if Marky's ever heard the word "pasta" pronounced before.

Marky also needs a lesson in how to wear a hair net.

I watched the video it looked like he licked it to me. What i found funny was his jacket says Marky Ramone "The Legacy" on the back.

There's nothing that gives me more schadenfreude than people using words they don't understand almost - but not quite - correctly.

The (mono)tone and the gesturing very much remind me of Trump.
Marky is gonna go places! He is blessed with the tools for success.

The handclaps to open each scene remind me of Homer Simpson's exclusive reliance on starwipe for his video presentations.

Having your feelings hurt sucks.

The hand gestures Marky makes when he says the word "crunchy" are hilarious.

Oh, dear.  I assumed "jacked" was a typo - I wasn't referrin' to what you wrote.

My Schadenfreude was at Marky having "The Legacy" on his jacket and the incongruity of that. I think "Marky Ramone: The Legacy" would be more aptly worn by his (real or figurative) prodigy - preferably after he has shuffled off this mortal leather-jacket-and-sneakers.

Or you coulda been kidding about having your feelings hurt, in which case good one.

He would have eaten it if it were made with a mixture of cream, milk, sugar, and his pasta sauce...
