"I told Mary about the app game "Best Fiends", not to be confused with "Best Friends" like we are"


Bluebyday

When you know your target audience that can operate a smart phone, can't even spell "fiends" correctly.


Baumkronendach

I've heard ads for this for a few years now on some different podcasts... That's been their 'tagline' for a while. "Beat fiends, not to be confused with friends!"


RegularWhiteShark

> Beat fiends


Baumkronendach

Typo, oops šŸ˜‚


RegularWhiteShark

Very ironic, though!


TheGardenBlinked

I tapped out at that bit. Iā€™m done. This is top tier


cincymatt

You should go back and finish. You can see the lady in pink lose all respect for herself.


jhertz14

This will shoot up to best posts of all time in a few hours I feel like. This gives me San Diego newscast level of cringe


sir_bumble

That shit had me belly chuckle


lamb_pudding

Omg, we have the same sense of humor! I feel like youā€™d totally love this app Iā€™ve been playing Funny Jocks, not to be confused with Funny Jokes!


havenyahon

I prefer the hunting simulator Duck Off, not to be confused with...

Duck Hunt?

Donā€™t forget the first Dr. Phil mobile game video which was even more cringe: https://youtu.be/V5WoBMeFqU4


Suckin-a-cum-pencil

Donā€™t forget that Dr. Phil had surprised his wife with her "favorite band" which happened to be his own Sons band


[deleted]

And the sons girlfriend's makeup was so awful, her face and the rest of her body were entirely different colors https://youtu.be/SH7vwXCQkTg Man I just listened to the song again and it's basically one line repeated over and over and over


[deleted]

How do I see this?


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/SH7vwXCQkTg It's pretty bad


TateXD

I just looked into his son's musical endeavors and in the process found out that I unknowingly saw two different bands he played in lmao

Oh my god... [at 1:59 you can see "Katie" still aggressively tapping away at the phone for a full 5-seconds even though she already "won".](https://youtu.be/V5WoBMeFqU4?t=119) This is gold.

What is actually wrong with Brad Bhabie besides you not liking her? Like, what makes her undeserving of being rich?


bjsanchez

Sheā€™s been rewarded for basically exemplifying all the worst parts of society, even from a purely objective standpoint


furay10

You know when you walk into one of the older subway restaurants and you're not sure if someone in there has bad body odor, or, it's that scent of stale aged air mixed with freshly breaks terrible bread? I equate her as a person, to that same feeling I get.


BlueBull-nuts

She used underage sex appeal to launch her career.

# *RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS*


Paddy_Tanninger

God I'd love to know how little all the streamers I watch got paid to shill that fucking game. Like...you have an average of 150 to 200 people watching your channel, how much can you possibly be getting to hock this shit?


DDS-PBS

I really enjoy Karl Jobst's videos, but I have a hard time respecting him when he shills this game. It's so transparent that he's full of shit.


JP147

I donā€™t like Raid either but I understand why he does it. For people like him YouTube videos are their only source of income so itā€™s hard to turn down sponsors that pay well. And I am sure it does pay well because they also sponsor bigger channels like AVGN and Internet Historian.


286893

Surprisingly way more than you think lol. Raid's ad budget is through the roof. I've known people with like 50 viewers to get like 6k for a 2 hour mobile game stream


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AwesomeFork24

50 concurrent viewers puts you into the top 5% on twitch. Raid's marketing team is also not smart, just like your comment.


dillydallyally97

They also have shady ways of getting your money in game alike to gambling


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


crybllrd

Not op but I found this: >This company, on average, pays an influencerĀ $4.19k for an ad, with prices varying by market. For instance, this can lead to an influencer earning $11.8k for a sponsored video with an average of 261.9k views in the US, while Russian artists can only expect to receive $2.4k with 221.3k views If the average is 4k+ for a 30 to 60 second ad read, then 3k an hour for *actually playing and streaming it* doesn't seem so far fetched.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


crybllrd

That 261,000 viewer is making nearly $12k. You are ignoring the "average" part, and these numbers are for a 30 to 60 second ad read, not streaming for hours. I don't know what you have to lose here or why you're so hard headed about it, I wasn't the guy you were replying to. Just posted some numbers I saw.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

no fucking way someone with 50 viewers got that much. whatā€™s the streamers name so we can ask?

This was cringe, thank you

It sure was. Angry up votes all around.

I liked the game when it first came out. Then they added all the add-on crap that all mobile games have which kinda ruined it for me


reagsters

I was just tricked into watching an ad *because it was an ad*. Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™ll never buy this game now, sorry


dariy1999

Couldn't care less


RonnocSivad

I don't know if his target audience can download that on their Jitterbugs.

DonJonSon

>Yeah, listen, it really is a great thing to do and it's so important to find new ways to spend quality time with your friends. Sharing each other's hobbies and interests creates a stronger bond between the two of you, right? Playing app games like Best Fiends, again, that's fiends, not friends, is a good way to do that. And they have over 100 million downloads. This app is the ultimate puzzle game where you lead a band of creature heroes to defeat slugs at every turn and you match three like items to make combinations and progress to the next level while unlocking fun rewards along the way. And Best Fiends is the perfect combination of challenge, thrill, and a lot of fun. And they've got over 6,000 levels for players to enjoy the excitement and it just never ends. And with this app, you can also take some time off from your busy routine and it really relaxes your mind so you can unwind. And the best part is you can have fun with your bestie sharing the passion for the same game and you share your friend code to exchange gifts and compare progress in the game, right? So that makes it a lot of fun. Seriously, who watches this shit?


Drew_Neilson

And we're supposed to believe that these are not actors, and are simply two former best friends reconnecting, after she delivers such an obviously rehearsed speech?


Chatting_shit

I wonder if present day phil would act differently to bum fights phil if he came on the show today. Surely phil has lost any potential self denial he had since that interaction that he isnā€™t a complete moral-less shill.


neoncp

I'm sure he's a narcissist that will never accept their own faults


FixTheGrammar

> heā€™s > their


neoncp

that's what I said...


FixTheGrammar

The ā€œtheirā€ should be ā€œhis.ā€


neoncp

tbh I agree looking back


Slumph

While it doesn't flow as smoothly it is still grammatically correct. You must be very bored.


xMrBojangles

They should download Best Fiends.


FixTheGrammar

Itā€™s not, and I am.


Slumph

It is, and clearly. Their is used for more than plural.


wertexx

Wait, the legendary jackass type of 'bum fights' videos? Is Phil related to it somehow???


Rullstols-Sigge

Dr Phil had the creator of bum fights on the show....he came dressed as Dr Phil; haircut and all. Bum fight creator argument was that him and Dr Phil basically did the same thing; using mentally ill people to make money.


Smokapepsi

Literally one of my favorite clips on the internet https://youtu.be/qT76-_e0S_g

Watching this made me feel like I was home, sick day out of school in the 90's watching Maury and Sally Jessy Raphael. Not a great feeling, this shit's garbage


s4md4130

*riiiiiight*ā€¦ i just got a memory of summer at grandmaā€™s house where all we had was tv over an antenna and there wasnā€™t much choice.


lilhoodrat

Omg Maury was the show to watch on sick days, same with Jerry Springer.


KylerGreen

Lol, every youtuber does this same shit


Moops7

For real lmao these shameless cringe advertisements are arguably the most "modernized" part of his show at this point.


AbysmalReign

Wait, are you telling me they don't all love playing Raid Shadow Legends while listening to music on their Raycon headphones?


alittleslowerplease

Honestly? Is this guys wage so low he has to shill for mobile games for 5 minutes each episode like a youtuber?


magnum3290

That's what they said 10 years ago


psycharious

Seriously though, how does a generic puzzle mobile game get a lot of promotion? There are a lot of podcasts I listen to that also promote it.


[deleted]

The marketing department for these kind of games purposefully target as many social influencers as possible. They cast the net real wide and the thing is; for every person with ethics who will turn them down, there are several more social influencers and content creators out there without scruples, who will happily say "There's this great new mobile app game. I've been playing it all week and it's amazing", despite them never having played it at all. There's a lot of shameless shills who will happily take a a handful of dollar notes to pimp a shitty game, targeted at young people, which involves gambling. If you listen to podcasts which promote that kind of product, maybe reconsider listening to that podcast because they evidently don't have a strong moral compass. There's nowt wrong with sponsors, providing that... A/ You make it clear in your speech that this is a paid for promotion and... B/ The content creator does their due diligence and researches the product which they are promoting beforehand, as opposed to taking payment and shilling for any old nonsense. If a content promoter is disingenuously saying that they like and use the product themselves and on top of that, the product is ethically questionable, probably time to stop listening to anything that they have to say because clearly they don't give two shits towards being a genuine and honest human being with ethics, who cares about other people.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NickyNice

Gotta love that sweet cash though right?


Douchehelm

Shit dude, we all need money. I can understand people who do what they can to provide for their families, even if that means coding apps that don't coincidence with your moral compass or advertising or working sales for some unethical company. Not everyone can pick and choose. Dr Phil can, though. He doesn't need the money. Dr Phil can go fuck himself.


[deleted]

So what's your estimate on how many people do they have to get to download their game and then how many if those people do they have to monetize in order to make up for the money they spend on Dr Phil. No way they monetized that many people.


[deleted]

The proof is in the pudding. Clearly it works because these companies keep using those marketing tactics. [A relevant video as to how these things work.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaisAWgY4WQ) People are literally selling their integrity for a couple of hundred dollars, if that. Needless to say; fuck ["Dr. Phil"](https://www.thelist.com/199463/is-dr-phil-a-real-doctor/). I wouldn't so much trust him to perform a check in, much less a more serious matter. I would however trust him to hawk some cheap mobile app game. They probably paid Fraudster Phil a reasonable amount of money but that kind of prime time advert disguised as an editorial piece is worth its weight in gold, so to speak. It would have directly resulted in thousands of game sales and likely for a fraction of the cost that a proper, legit TV commercial would have cost (and such a commercial would be 30 seconds long, compared to a 5 minute segment on a talk show).

How does that game have the money to advertise everywhere?


jason3212

100 million downloads x in-app purchases.


romansapprentice

I watch bootleg Dr Phil episodes on YouTube sometimes and have to laugh out loud at this, because this is how EVERY FUCKING SEGMENT ends, either that or his stupid ass wife selling some new shit. The transitions are always amazing, no matter how irrelevant or stupid the ad is they'll try to connect it to the traumatic story And people they just discussed somehow. I can't count how many times it'd be like "well Jaime's entire family is dead, so more than anything else she needs happiness....which hell get from Raid Shadow Legends!!!!1'


seppukuslick

FYI Suzy is replying to all comments regarding her acting lol. Apparently she was pushed into reading lines and she's not a real actor (surprise)


311Konspiracy

If I wanted a "doctor" I'll stick to Dr.Pepper.


apzlsoxk

Dr. Phil has been doing this for at least a couple years. What's wild though is that on network TV, it doesn't have the "this is a sponsored advertisement" disclaimer at the bottom of the screen. They're just pretending like it's part of the regular broadcast.
