[Chri$]

Them 3 are so Bad!

They look nothing like the eye. :nono:

[MarkWaldorf]

They look like a frigging advert for Transformers.

SO ****.

[John.]

Can't believe the day TiBB decides to upgrade servers,

one of the most important days in the BB hype season is missed!

[Nicky.]

They don't look like the eye lol!

[Daniel__]

Iv got to be honest I think they are pretty crap!

[ross-oaft]

unless you know what your looking for, they dont really show much Big Brother =\

[Spike]

They are really bad. I can't tell they are BB adverts so i'm sure the majority of viewers wont either
I hope some new adverts are brought out quickly because the advertising campaign is already failing

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Is it just me or I can't see any eye in those flashes? :shocked:

[ILoveTRW]

The main adverts are going to be amazing

[mkdfan]

OOO i love em, its like they look like giant computer chips or something!

[John.]

i think they've done a good job... if we're like this and we know it's the BB eye, then think of the people who have no clue... they must be like WTF is that all about,...

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

When did they flash? What show?

[John.]

'Scrubs' at 1.15 and 1.45 today. then at 4.15 during 'Come Dine With Me'

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Thanks for that JD. They've never aired first on a Saturday afternoon in the past, eh?

[Hugo]

SO ****, conisdering 80% of viewers won't even know what the eye looks like, they are useless promotion.

[*mazedsalv**]

I think they have done a good job. I think what there trying to do is build some "What the hell is that? by non BB fans. And then the longer ads will make more sense when they air.

Sound ads air about 4 days after the flashes, so people will know after hearing a bit of the tune. And then the longer ones air 2 weeks before, with the countdown 10 days before and the house ads 7 days before.
Thats roughly.

[BBDodge]

They're teasers.

As the days go by more will be revealed.

[BigOz]

lol, I could never figure if it's a joke or not xD.


Come Down With Dine whatever... again? did that not happen last year aswell?

[John.]

Nope. it was a wee bitty strange, but Channel 4's schedule just now is all over the place... they have no like series of anything on right now, bar Desperate Housewives...

i wish they would put things back the way they were. comedy on the Friday nights... and a film on the Sunday, it was so much better, it signified the start of the weekend...

[Wildcat!]

Its a marketing strategy. The idea, is for people who see a glimpse of it, to wonder, WTH is that? It peeks their curiosity! Then they become longer and longer. It does work as a marketing tool. I remember the first time Ive seen such a thing was when they advertised the Mole, in the US, with that green fingerprint!

yeah same thing last year...

[Billy]

Tbh though who said they were eye flashes? We all wanted something different,and we're getting it!

True, they do not look like an eyeflash, but it does look like a BB ad, maybe its a flash of something else to do with BB ?? :conf:

[Conor]

Shitest ad campain to date. Saw one earlier and didnt even realise what it was until i came on here :s - Thats bad, considering Ive known what the eye has looked like for a week now.

[mkdfan]

Thats so true.

p.s how on earth have u made 10000+ posts in 2 years!
I've barely managed 300 in 4 years lol.

[lightyears]

am i just being completely thick cos i dont see anythin in them clips that looks like an eye :sad:

[MichaelCracker]

The EYEdea is that you don't get what you expect
The tagline for this series is

"It isn't what is seems to be" and the flashes are representing that straight away!
I swear if anyone after me says "**** campaign" before we see anything new then I will shoot them because they haven't seen the entire campaign yet...
For all we know we could be getting radio ads, ads on different channels not just C4 and E4, billboards, promotions on drinks or chocolate (I remember before BB4 started they gave people a chance to have a weekend party in the house after the series and by doing a competition on Frijj milkshakes... they are my favourite milkshake and beverage now and I am addicted to them in the same way I am with BB)
We could be getting some really amazing extended eye flashes that are really obviously BB and show the tagline and the tagline is repeated everywhere, they could do something really new!

Just wait and see before judging and give the show a chance!

[johnnygre]

:cheer2: I really like it! It is what big brother is all about, leaving us in suspense and anyway it adds to the excitement of it all, as we get closer to the launce night the ads will get better! Roll on three weeks:dance2:

[John.]

Hey welcome to tibb! :bigsmile:

[Matt]

I don't like them, but not because they don't show much of the eye.

I'm not really bothered how much of the eye they show to be honest - they're ONE SECOND teasers. If C4 didn't broadcast them they'd only show animated 4 logos in their place, so it's just a little extra promotion.

[DigitalSid]

What's with all these '**** campaign' type comments? You do realise these aren't part of the ad campaign? Eye flashes aren't adverts they are stings, Channel 4 don't count them as anything more and they're not considered part of the promotion, they're just there to compliment it.

Stings are found on most channels, they're there to pad out the ad breaks and remind people what channel they're watching. They air all year round, but usually they show the channel logo, in this case, the channel 4 one. Channel 4 just replace them for a few weeks.

The ads haven't started yet.

Calm down.

Also they're obscure deliberately for curiosity factor and to create discussion amongst the more observant of fans.

[John.]

Best post about this pathetic subject so far. :love:
You're so clever.
Are you sure you're on the correct forum?

[MichaelCracker]

^ Lol ... I think he wanted to be on the George Orwell fan forum but came on the wrong one signed up and then realised his mistake :P

And actually I thought they were idents? Or are idents longer ones like before a show starts?

[John.]

idents are about 10 seconds i think... like the one with the beach, castle, chalk horse, and the crop circle for BB4

[Matt]

Idents are the short clips before programmes on all channels during which the announcers introduce the programmes. On Channel 4, they're the various animations of the 4 logo animating in to view (some of their ident themes include pylons, Japan, motorways and hedges).

[John.]

How come then this is called "BB4 Teaser Idents" then??

[crossieKIDD]

they are so mysterious! )

[John.]

I like them though.

I think we can maybe expect a longer (5 second) advert on Wednesday night...

[John.]

I want to know what the 'Neon Wiring' is in the different sections of the eye!

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

And not forgetting Marcus' 10 day countdown which should happen from Monday the 25th..

[Shaun]

These are ****.

[John.]

Shaun: honest as always! :thumbs:

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I'm hitting the hay guys. Good night. :xyxwave:

Night Night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite...

You clearly didn't see last year's sorry affair :wink:.

[max]

The flashes don't give much away.Maybe as we get closer to launch date they'll get longer and reveal more.

Hopefully, but we just have to remember, “It’s not what you expect it to be.”

[Joe.]

What! These don't look at all like the eye, or maybe possibly they're 3D pieces of the eye, and gradually they'll come together as we get closer to launch.

[MichaelCracker]

^ No ****.

[lightyears]

[I.am.the.invisible.member]

there the best eye flashes yet! IM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so professional not tacky crap like last year! they even beat my fav BB& and BB8!!!!!

Im so happy channel 4 listened to us! that is really special for it 10th anniversary!!!

Im also glad its not on a white background again! i really think they are tying to do a BB7 again!

some how i cant see the producers of big brother doing such a great job! i bet the opening titles and transitions for the highlight shows will llook crap compared to this! why cant they use channel 4 intake of the logo for the actual show?????

i cant believe some fans are saying there s**t?????? i swear some on here just love to complain about everything! YOU WANTED DIFFERENT, WELL THERE YOU GO!

[John.]

People will always moan... but next year, they will look back and say they were the best ever... it's just what people do.

[jaybitches]

Reminds me of when apparently before CBB5 when the housemates found out that Jade and her family were going in (because apparently they found out before the show started) they were fuming and people said that it was the worst idea ever and didn't think it would work
Guess what
They were sort of wrong

[Mister-Darko]

I like them. We've all been saying that channel 4 have needed to change their marketing strategy to pull in new viewers, and they're doing it, and all you're doing is moaning!

[Noel]

I LOVE them! I really do! They aren't suppose to be full scale adverts anyways, but just wee teasers. Once the REAL ads begin, then we'll get more. :D I'm sooooo excited!
:D

[jimmytubbs]

It leaves you hanging there. They are not what i think all of us exspected however they are a grower. It could turn into something big.

You never know :/

[MarkWaldorf]

I finally saw one during Hollyoaks this morning

I really don't know. They're about a fraction of a second long, it's hard to catch them as it is. :laugh:

[MarkWaldorf]

Actually Matt, it happened around 12:20 - 12:30 so you may be able to catch it on +1.

[frankieo]

wooo, will we get any new eye flashes today?

[Mrluvaluva]

I wouldn't even have guessed they were eye flashes if I was watching. Not very good at all.

[Nicklol123]

Can someone make these adverts into an animation :D!

[crossieKIDD]

i cant wait to see an eyeflash on tv now!!

its supposed to be mysterious and get ppl talking me thnks haha

[\PJ/]

When i first saw one on the tv and not on youtube it looks better on tv.

[Jaaaack.]

I love the colour scheme and the contrasting colours; And I really like the lighting and how it distorts the 'eye'.
It looks really hi-tech but eery and mysterious aswell; If you get me?
Mind it took a few watches to get used to it.
lol.

[craiga1993]

[DigitalSid]

Another one apparently aired after Simpsons on C4, check C4+1 at 7:27-7:30. Since nobody saw it I'd take it with salt again but then I said that on Saturday.

[Tom]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwDlqhtRDQk

[frankieo]

ill post it on youtube if it comes up again

[Matt]

Just checked a recording of the Simpsons - there was no extended eyeflashes after it, and the flash during the break in the middle is one we've already seen.

There was, however, an advert for ER Night on More4 which had a beeping sound - which is probably the 'metallic noise' people say they have heard.
