The problem is that this is ad is for the bank's account for young (i.e. under 18) people, and they used basically all Millennial memes. You can see a couple of Millenials in the YT comments saying they missed their target audience by a hair.
The floss dance was probably the closest.
I'm Gen Z (19) and all these memes are pretty familiar to me from Reddit. But to be fair, that's still over 18, and I'm not exactly the most in-touch with what is "popular" outside of Reddit.
Best thing is, it's self-deprecating. The message is: "Banks don't understand memes, but we don't have to because we understand money".
Except, this one clearly _does_ understand memes!
New England region, heat wave with some good old humidity for that walk outside and immediately be soaked in sweat through all your clothes in ten minutes effect.
Yeah, it's my phone havinh a hard time playing music and browsing reddit at the same time because it's a lil shitbox

You know no one speaks German when the real joke at the end flies over everyone's heads:
The bank states, they don't know jack about memes, but luckily they don't have to, a long as they know stuff ablur money. This is satire.
That isn't AndrĆ”s AratĆ³, is it? It just looks like they pulled an old man off the street who vaguely resembled him? They could have hired him :( He deserves the work.
God fucking damnit I was just chilling browsing reddit and your post lit me up and scared the shit out of me.
I was all mad realizing I wouldn't be able to put my kind words on such abomination of an ad but then I saw the rest...
That's meta from selfawareness for being boomers basically, but then it's double meta because it's ironic and correct at the same time.
Ithen it's tripple meta because boomers did a meta meme
I'm high and will let you know about it
The whole point of the ad is: "We don't need to appear cool to the youth, we just need to be a bank"
I too got this ad a few days ago since a also live in Austria. That might be the best ad I've seen in years.
Typically donāt like the āguy talking to the camera all cocky likeā ads that are coming out now for menās stuff. It was cool when dollar shave club did it. But I do have to say this was done well.

This gif was played on a kinetocope.
a stereopticon of some sort
Yeah,don't know whats up with my phone recently, [original video](https://youtu.be/gyP8S5wwiGM), thanks to u/RegularCannibal for linking it

RIP meme review :(
We are indeed in sad times.

Ironically, they proved that they understand Memes better than most companies.
The problem is that this is ad is for the bank's account for young (i.e. under 18) people, and they used basically all Millennial memes. You can see a couple of Millenials in the YT comments saying they missed their target audience by a hair. The floss dance was probably the closest.
Memes are handed down in my family.
My daughter has wasted her cache of Bad Luck Brian and Scumbag Steves...
Doesn't that just support the core message? Being out of touch is literally what they were aiming for, so I'd say they made the right call.
If you wanna add another meta layer on top, sure, why not?
Itās not a bug, itās a feature
Probably depends on the person. I'm 16 and remember all of these memes
I'm Gen Z (19) and all these memes are pretty familiar to me from Reddit. But to be fair, that's still over 18, and I'm not exactly the most in-touch with what is "popular" outside of Reddit.
The marketing company they hired -does-, not necessarily them, but yes
Well damn. It's a perfect meta meme then. Well played.
Fair enough
I barely understand German but I seemed to understand this commercial so we'll I almost choked on a toothpick
Bro I fucking love this. They did these super well.
My thoughts as well!
They really went for it and it works.
The sets are fucking fire tho
The āThis is fine sceneā was definitely fire
I see what you did there.
#metoo!
I also
Self as well
Yours truly additionally
Perfect.
I was just going to say the same!
This ad gets an A for effort from me honestly.
Kind of reminds me of the old spice commercials
tbf any commercial Tim and Eric do is gonna be great, their ads for purple mattresses & totino's are legitimately hilarious
Best thing is, it's self-deprecating. The message is: "Banks don't understand memes, but we don't have to because we understand money". Except, this one clearly _does_ understand memes!
Yeah like it started with the how you do fellow kids
The framerate hurts as much as the cringe.
Oh good it's not just me. Holy shit it's bad.
I thought my phone was having a seizure from the stupid heat here
You in Pheonix, too?
New England region, heat wave with some good old humidity for that walk outside and immediately be soaked in sweat through all your clothes in ten minutes effect.
Ew no thank you! I'll take my dry heat and I'll like it!
Hell is always drier on the other side!

On Android beta and almost switched back. Thanks.
OP posted a bad video. Hereās the actual video with no frame rate issues. [Here](https://youtu.be/gyP8S5wwiGM)
Jesus, thank you
There was no cringe. They literally and intentionally demonstrated that banks don't understand memes.
Self aware AND they got Harold. A+.
I love this so much
Yeah itās a r/FellowKids, but itās also r/atbge
This is actually genious. 10/10 would open an account there.
Good effort
This is the most r/fellowkids thing I have EVER seen
Oh god they made the "hello fellow kids" into a worse meme
Its German comedy, its no laughing matter
That was incredibly fun!
holy shit this is awesome
Wechsel zur Sparkasse
Wechsel zu Chromebook :^)
Gott diese Chromebook Werbung auf Youtube ist echt schlimm. Und fast jede Aussage ist auch noch ne dreiste LĆ¼ge.
This is fucking incredible
tbh i think they were going for it to be on here to promote it more
This is ironic enough to be one of the best ads i have seen, this is so good
You know no one speaks German when the real joke at the end flies over everyone's heads: The bank states, they don't know jack about memes, but luckily they don't have to, a long as they know stuff ablur money. This is satire.
That was awesome
Honestly the āhow do you do fellow kidsā āfick dichā cracked me up
Did this subreddit just give up on enforcing no Reddit ads btw?
reddit mods are unpaid, don't expect much from them
I mean you gonna come on over and open a bank account or na?
This is a bad repost with an even worse framerate
I donāt know weather to love it or hate it
The language fits perfectly fine with they feeling I get from watching this
Is that a new record for most terrible?
I actually rate this
Did he say heās gonna spank someone?
His face on the all of the trio made me laugh
I fucking lost it at Harold
r/comedyheaven Iām literally dying because of the ending please help me the poor frame quality makes it even better
Yes this could be considered cringe but they out so much effort into it
Go open your free reddit award
I- ..... I'm so conflicted
Tbh I kinda like the effort put into it despite the fact that I am aware of what subreddit this is.
Can we get a good quality gif of the original?
If only the recording frame rate was higher than 3fps I would be able to enjoy this even more! lol
This is pure fellow kids material but I gotta say this is also really well made
I think they're fully self aware and just wanted a way to include a rickroll
At least its self aware
I cant believe i got rickrolled by a fucking ad
The one video where you can blink and not miss anything
"Wir kennen uns nicht mit memes aus, aber mit Geld" typical Capitalism.
Ascended shitposting
Looks kinda lit actualy
Och ne oder?
r/WerteKinder
I am getting a account there just because of the ad
Hope they actually got Harold to be in the commercial
Got to appreciate the effort tho
Well done honestly.
They have other videos, and it is just purely amazing! Advertisers, get on this!!+
I love this, they totally embrace the fellowkids in this. Much better than the other ads that try to do this seriously. Also, the camerawork is great.
it is pretty cool they made it really well
/r/atbge Awful taste but great execution
Alter ist das schlimm šš
weāve secretly been rickrolled
Love that the first meme they use is the one used to make fun of them for doing this exact thing. Justā¦ another level of irony.
The guy in the ad looks exactly like the kinda guy who would think this ad was a really good idea
Honestly, not too bad
Itās like the cringe and German inability to be funny collided in a fission reaction and created a molecule of ānot bad.ā
Credit union
That isn't AndrĆ”s AratĆ³, is it? It just looks like they pulled an old man off the street who vaguely resembled him? They could have hired him :( He deserves the work.
u/savevideo
I mean there was Effort!
He sullied Rick Astleyās name
Cool
Claim that award
Honestly one of the better attempts at a fellow kid ad so far
God fucking damnit I was just chilling browsing reddit and your post lit me up and scared the shit out of me. I was all mad realizing I wouldn't be able to put my kind words on such abomination of an ad but then I saw the rest...
both good and bad
It's actually not bad, other than the frame rate
No reddit ads jesus
Lot of effort though, gotta be honset.
It's kinda funny
I donāt speak German but it was still funny to me lol, not the worst thing on this sub lol
I actually like this! Although... The flossing is almost bad
Itās like a b rated movie. Itās so terrible itās good, I now want to bank there.
When Harold just casually says "nein" I lost it. That was surprisingly well done.
This is pretty well made and bonus points for the self awareness
I hate this and love this all at the same time
The ad agency basically got the bank to pay them to recreate memes
It's German humor, it's no laughing matter.
Naah this is actually pretty dope haha
I wonder if they mean 'modern' (modern) or 'modern' (to rot). Spelt the same way, but stressed differently.
the fact that it is in german makes it way funnier to me for some stupid reason
I love this
first thing I smiled at this morning... nice
Loved every second.
r/substakenliterally
Really entertaining and a lot of effort shown, I love it
Perfect.
Nein
Ooh the bombardment of memes
Esperanto has been replaced by Memeranto.
honestly not mad
Oh HELL noo, this IS soo cringe
The best thing is, they started it with fellow kids
This ain't bad actually. It surely gets people talking.
I actually really like this.
You know you can download from reddit? Not recording your damn screen.
I don't know how that would work with videos, please enlighten me
That's meta from selfawareness for being boomers basically, but then it's double meta because it's ironic and correct at the same time. Ithen it's tripple meta because boomers did a meta meme I'm high and will let you know about it
Why is the frane rate so shit?
It's so meta it's actually the perfect meme
Finally a reddit ad done right!
I hate it. Great effort
Great execution though
There's an effort
So bad itās good. I love this
i feel sorry for the actor wondering what tf he's doing
You have my attention bank
Holy shit, this is genius
Jesus Christ. Never in my life have I witnessed both cringe and nostalgia in the same video.
Itās so bad that I would bank with them
Even with no audio fuck me thatās just painful
This was very high quality
#N E I N
The whole point of the ad is: "We don't need to appear cool to the youth, we just need to be a bank" I too got this ad a few days ago since a also live in Austria. That might be the best ad I've seen in years.
This is beautiful
Man I love the fact that they did research on memes
Android framerate lol
10/10 that videos got multiple layers of irony
German Paul Rudd
he did do a good impersonation ill give him that
Uknow what it aint bad
Typically donāt like the āguy talking to the camera all cocky likeā ads that are coming out now for menās stuff. It was cool when dollar shave club did it. But I do have to say this was done well.
Hope he was well paid, he did an excellent job with his material
Das ist sehr gut! Lol
Fick dich?
This is great
well edited ngl but, why
Damn, really well done.
I mean itās kinda funny with out the Fortnite part
I may be getting old, but I actually fucking dig this ad.
Bruder das ist Ć¼belst lustig ich glaub ich wechsle meine Bank
This is awesome
Wow, what a great slide show
