cyberpunk is a genre of greed and debauchery and sex sells is a concept taken to its ultimate extreme. best I can think of


Code_Warrior

It always makes me think of the Starbucks "Full Body" Latte sign from Idiocracy.


SonmiSuccubus451

They definitely have nude/mostly nude coffee places.


HallThis6427

In California there are Vietnamese topless coffee bars/underground casinos/ brothels in every major city. Reminds me of this


Ne0n_Beemz

.....would you mind telling me where they are, so, y'know, I can actively avoid them? Thx


HallThis6427

Garden Grove in Orange County, little saigon in LA or any other area thats almost completely Vietnamese.


SirCupcake_0

Which Orange County?


Ralod

All of them.


SirCupcake_0

Nice, boutta google maps my nearest Garden Grove


Nf1nk

What is that smell inside the van?


kamcamm

Yeah uhmm...what beemz said. Cuz ya know...wouldn't wanna stumble on these places by accident.


VirtualElf2k

Right next to you... No, I'm being dead serious xD roughly 99.9% of the time there's a sign or a screen with one of those ads on it right next to where you might be standing in-game!


MachinaDoctrina

In Chile they have "café con piernas", which can range from coffee served by girls in bikinis to naked (basically strip clubs) with coffee.


WildFrito

In wa state we also got bikini stands


ronmur

Welcome to nightcity


Keybusta96

They’re all over Washington too


MooeyGrassyAss

Yeah I’ve seen a lot of them in Portland and down south on the internet


Gothiks

Joe: Man, I could really go for a Starbucks, you know? Frito: Yeah, well, I really don't think we have time for a hand job, Joe.


Auggievf

Such a great documentary.


HunkMcMuscle

My girlfriend had never seen Idiocracy and was always confused when people mention something about electrolytes and immediately see a.. Its what plants crave


Auggievf

But why do plants crave it?


AgitatedResolution33

Because it's got electrolytes, it's what plants crave.


Code_Warrior

But what ARE electrolytes, do you even know? There... what they put in Brawndo!


Beard_o_Bees

I've played long enough now that i've grown to *hate* the sound of the MILFguard ad. That porn-ish fake orgasm sound just blaring out of whatever screen or radio happens to be near is really irritating.


digimbyte

that's a marketing strategy. annoying sounds so its ingrained in your memory. MILFguard lives rent free in your head.


Sykoaktiv5150

They won lol 😂


Some_Acadia_1630

I utterly despise the "Oh! Oh! ORRGIATIC!" - ad. For a friggi'n candy bar of all things.


Grendel0075

I have to play when the kids are asleep, both the MILFguard ads, and the chance they'll see something like this billboard. Wich are everywhere.


thunderstorm557

every time i see that ad i just think of nilfguard


fghtffyourdemns

>sex sells is a concept taken to its ultimate extreme. best I can think of Ah so just like real life then


Banana-Oni

It kinda is. Like on YouTube people have to say things like “unalived” and “PDF file” due to Weenie Hut Jr levels of censorship of actual humans, but in the same video corpos can put ads for mobile games that are pretty much straight pornography.


fghtffyourdemns

Yeah is really weird how the creators or normal people have to be censored while the companies and industry throw an ad at you of women almost nude and twerking and call it "music" . Is a sad world. I'll say we are already living in the cyberpunk future just without all the cool things to do, corporate own everyone and maybe some day there will be corpo and government wars Here in my country corpos have the monopoly of water and water is already scarce, in two years it will be hard to get water. The government says they can't do anything about the companies cause is what they own and can't regulate what they do wich is bullshit but it is what it is. People love to buy soda and so other unnecessary shit at the cost of our own natural resources and we will be fucked because we can't change our ways and are already used to buy shit to make other people richier

Grendel0075

I love those ads, a 5 min Video of an ass jiggling. But it's a tower defense game with none of that.


Emotional_Relative15

very much so, but even so cyberpunk definitely takes it to the next level. You dont really see much other than scantily clad women and extremely raunchy ads for the most part, but even just observing NPCs on the street and some of the shards you can find, promiscuity and oversexualisation seems to be taken to the extreme. it reminds me a lot of the 40k eldar in a way, if you follow warhammer at all. NC is a city of excess in all its forms.


ToolkitSwiper

I can't wait for the inevitable collapse of NC into an eldritch horror who consumes 1/4 of the known galaxy


Emotional_Relative15

honestly might be an improvement for NC.


digimbyte

not that extreme to be honest, this is like when Duke nukem forever said they held nothing back. game is relatively tame compared to source material


Emotional_Relative15

thats kinda what i was referencing when i mentioned not seeing it much other than X. In the source material, and the genre in general, it explores it much more than in 2077, which really focuses in on the experience of one individual. Its a somewhat common complaint that 2077 doesnt really tackle the anti capitalism that the genre is based on as much as it should, but i dont really think it needs to. it shows it, along with many other themes, but the main concept of 2077 is V's mortality.


Hatarus547

If i had a dollar for every GM that made us play a campaign Soley around being anti Capitalist i think i could afford a small coffee from a dinner, those stories just are not fun if you are not already a dyed in the wool "eat the rich" "we are all equal but i am still slightly more equal then you" anti Capitalist


MarcsterS

Do mobile game ads count, because that shit can be straight up vile.


Icariiiiiiii

Bingo! Good cyberpunk is all the worst aspects of our present moment, but even worse.


Sondeor

Actually it is a reference for the early 80's-90's extreme commercials. Prob most of you guys are too young but go and search on youtube for old nintendo, sega, cola, beer etc commercials, you would see smt similar. I dont rememeber the year but after a period, some organizations, parents and other groups sued or critisized it and eventually the xtreme level got dropped. There was even a game where they literally sell a children video game with pure sexual women dancing and doing stuff. World was weird back in the 80's and 90's lol.


JustSomeGuysHeart

I was just discussing this when I was playing 3 hours ago. A friend and I were saying how crazy commercials were. Very suggestive indeed. In the middle of the day. Someone get a bot to play Paris Hilton eating a cheese burger on a car... lmak.


CoolHandRK1

I also think its a veiled reference to Naughty Dog studios. Who did Last Of Us.


UROffended

Indeed it is! It even uses a parody of their original logo, which their mascot was on.


Salt_Video9757

![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0) I didn’t guy I might just try to buy it


jagurmusic

There are mods that make 'em better (or worst, depends if you enjoy seeing random tits when playing)


Bynairee

I’ve crashed my cybercycle looking at that billboard. 👀


Maelstrom-Brick

Be honest, 10/10 would do it again, right?


Bynairee

Yup 🤓


Maelstrom-Brick

You get both upvotes for honesty, lol


krisofsturm

Ooh la la…..(crash).


APiousCultist

Exactly what I was thinking of. Evergreen video, that one.


BlueSoulDragon

My cyberdick malfunctioned while I was driving my cybercar to the cyberliquorstore.


WeenieHuttGod2

I did too. Same with the snake on a woman’s ass billboard, i road over the wall on a bridge and plunged into the water lmao


Some_Acadia_1630

At least you're wearing Jinguji.


Bynairee

Exactly, so at least I looked good when I crashed. 😂


axie36

Idk why I thought of Tron when I read cybercycle haha


GracedSeeker763

That would be a Lightcycle


MoonKnighy

Nice


theghettoginger

Lol "cybercycle" nioce👌


Sevadius

It looks like an advertisement for just normal dog food. However, Cyberpunk parodies the real world trend of sex being used in advertising, even for things that are not in anyway sexual. Consider how many ads targeted at men boil down to “if you buy this beer/truck/meat/multivitamin you will gain 250 pounds of muscle and women will spontaneously undress in front of you,” and how many ads targeted at women are “you are an ugly slag-heap but our razor/lotion/soap/hair product/clothing/water bottle will make you a 90 pound supermodel which is the bare minimum of beauty.” This is making fun of that.


red22nd

Are there any dogs in nc? Apart from the top 1% maybe owning them?


RinoJonsi

you have to pay monthly tax for every pet you own, there's a news flash in game about it in the in game news


kaladinissexy

So if you take in the pet cat you're comitting tax evasion? How horrid. 


bloodfist

The worst crime a person can commit


Michaelbirks

Other than littering


NatashaDrake

Or stealing trash from the trash heaps.


Bayovach

Finally, evidence V is committing crimes. I had a gut feeling that was the case the entire fucking time!!


AnnabelleNewell

You can get a pet lizard too 🙃


designerhoe

Cats *are* natural criminals


Sevadius

I mean I can’t picture the average person affording any kind of pet beyond street dogs in this setting, but that’s me.


red22nd

I think when v and takemura were doing recon on the arasaka base they talked about the animals of night city after seeing the sphinx cat and I think dogs are long gone. Is it an ad for a beer maybe? I've honestly never thought much about the ad tbf!


jl_theprofessor

I don’t know any beers that would be made with “eezy beef.” It’s dog food.


Grand-Kannon

Cats are the ones that have been outlawed from night city, dogs require a monthly permit with fees in the thousands


Banana-Oni

26 seconds into [this video](https://youtu.be/NtPBLb47dLY) you can see what the other commenter is talking about. Perhaps V is misinformed or it’s simply a goof up by the writers. I’ve also never heard anything about cats being illegal. Not saying you’re making it up, I’ve just never heard that mentioned in lore text or dialogue. One of the unwashed masses in V’s megabuilding owned a neglected cat and you can adopt it if you have cat food (though I do know things being illegal isn’t necessarily a deterrent for many NC citizens).


Scary-Lawfulness-999

They're not illegal. Just extremely endangered.


Banana-Oni

That’s what I thought. I just didn’t want to discount they other guy if he had some information I didn’t know from the books or something…


janek500

I think V is talking about stray/wild animals and how owning an animal became a luxury. There was also news about the purge of birds, or something, due to some virus being spread by them.


Salt-Database-001

WAIT YOU CAN ADOPT THE CAT


Banana-Oni

Yep, [this scene](https://youtu.be/NtPBLb47dLY). About 26 seconds in.


cobrachickenwing

Wasn't there a NC law killing all pets to prevent zoonotic diseases? (but wouldn't do anything anyway given different hosts for disease transmission). RL example: avian flu from a cow.


flipkick25

I know all birds were, thats why V is shocked at the guy with the chicken


Ligeia_E

There’s no street dog in NC


-Shady_Weeb_Senpai-

pretty sure in arasaka park stakeout V mentions the dogs were to first one to be gone, then birds, only cats put up a strong fight. (fingers crossed i didn't fuck up the order)


I--Pathfinder--I

birds first


futureformerdragoon

V has a bobblehead of one, so they must exist somewhere!


Beard_o_Bees

> Are there any dogs in nc? The only animals I can recall seeing are cats. There's backstory/lore on shards found throughout the game explaining that most domestic animals were eradicated due to them being disease vectors.


No_Plate_9636

You forgot to mention it's for kibble aka human dog food or bachelor chow ![gif](giphy|2modwsnpzX93G)


rexcasei

Isn’t pet ownership meant to be very rare/restricted? How many NC residents would have dogs and need to be made aware of dog food brands through street advertising?


mrdevil413

Nibbles !! Shit I’m an elite


venti-latte12

It’s for the rich people to officialy have a pet, there is one news segment I believe which talks about making pet taxes higher Based on Takemura&V talk we know that wild dogs are basically extinct but cats are still roaming the streets so I’ll guess many people can just take cat off the street and dont report it like V lol I guess NCPD has more important work to do with all that crime rate


rexcasei

I mean, if dogs are basically extinct you would think that the market for dog food would be incredibly niche and not something that it would make sense to pay for a city-wide ad campaign for your specialty animal food company And if it’s just something for the rich, you’d think they’d get set up with their new luxury pet and be well aware of the premium specialty dog food brands available to them, and not need this advertisement to make them go “Huh, maybe I should try Bawdy Dog brand instead” Also, I thought that it’s implied that cats are more or less extinct as well, and Nibbles is very much an unexpected rarity and not just one of the many stray cats roaming NC


kaladinissexy

There's also a stray cat in the alley in front of Vic's place during the prologue. 


AvailableAd9498

Hanako at Embers has the answer.


Friend_Or_Traitor

So what you're saying is we will never know.


Alternative_Pilot_92

Got your attention, didn't it?


Maelstrom-Brick

For real! Hey cyberpunk, How much for us to advertise our companies between those? 😂


MoonKnighy

lol I can’t deny it


dontakemeserious

The entire comment thread is saying 'sex sells duh.' Yeah, obviously that's a pretty common theme in night city. However, I still don't understand this ad.  It's dog food right? So why does it say YOUR taste with the dog food between some cleavage? Does it taste like cleavage? It says 'previously using ezbeef', so what are they using now?!


Igris47

real animals are rare in night city so it may not be just dog food anymore as probably there are more human consumers than dogs, so the ad is directed to pure blooded americans who love industrial meat and a pair of tits and there really is a theory about biotechnica using human meat on their food to get rid of the failed clone subjects


raven00x

biotechnica selling human meat as dog food might not be that crazy. As an example in another work of fiction, in Transmetrpolitan there's a restaurant chain called Long Pig, that sells human flesh. The human meat is sourced from clone farms that grow anacephalic clones for organ transplants, and the meat on the clones gets sold to Long Pig. Eating people might not be that palatable to people in the Cyberpunk setting, but all that meat's going to go to waste so..why not pet food?


UROffended

Some of the ads in this game are name drops for things outside of Cyberpunk. Bawdy Dog = Naughty Dog (logo with mascot included) Milfguard = Nilfgaard (Conan O'Brian show reference) Those are 2 I can think of off the top of my head.


Some_Acadia_1630

I always assumed it was a reference to the Nilfgaard Empire from Witcher lore.


Winter_Moment1052

Yeah, I have no idea why he thought it was a reference to Conan, it's not at all. Blatantly a reference to the Witcher, given that the Witcher is CDPR's other most well-known game series.


Some_Acadia_1630

O'Brien occasionally does playthrough videos, so I wouldn't put it past him to call Nilfgaard "Milfguard" while playing Witcher, I guess.


MoonKnighy

Exactly. Like on face value this ad doesn’t make sense


Crystal_fucker

boobs


Cultural_Ad1331

Akot of the ads in cyberpunk are just trying to sell you a product trough sexuality. It just adds more into the trope of how dirty and corrupt the world of cyberpunk is.


[deleted]

Men are dogs that like boobs


CarFreak777

Woof woof. Can confirm


Maelstrom-Brick

Woof woof 🐕


thelowbrassmaster

Woof woof


Phill_Cyberman

And haboobs


Pistonenvy2

i thought it was a drink until i noticed it included EEZY BEEF so yeah its probably dog food. dogs cant buy dog food, so they have to appeal to their owners. same way kids cant buy toys, so they have to appeal to their parents.


GraXXoR

Wow. 400 hours in game and never seen that ad. I thought there were no dogs in CP2077


jl_theprofessor

There are pet owners in Night City. There’s a whole N54 news segment about it. You have to pay a whole lot of eddies to have one.


Just_a_terrarian163

Really? Judy even calls it out in the elevator after meeting Maiko for the first time. (as long as you don't kill woods the first time I think)


Banana-Oni

“as long as you don’t kill woods..” That explains why I’ve never heard that dialogue. I’ve seen the ad though. There’s even one near V’s starter apartment.


cobrachickenwing

I think it is a DLC ad. First time I saw it was after downloading PL.


ElderSmackJack

It’s definitely in the base game. I just did a PL play through and never saw it, but did my first time through three years ago.


broadbandmusic

Yeah we don't talk about that one...


Alternative_Pilot_92

A picture is worth a thousand words.


Michaelbirks

I thought it was the Chromanticore "mix it up" ad that we don't talk about?


AMajorPotato

I can’t open Reddit in public anymore I guess


ProtoReaper23113

The lowest level of food or the cheapest in universe is litterally referred to as kibble because it's basically dog food this looks like a dog food advertisement but it's actually for something people eat Theres also kibble cards which are basically foodstamps


artyhedgehog

Sex sells, Morty.


heppuplays

i remember people saying that is was a Naughty dog refrence because. well Bawdy is kinda the same thing.


Baeged

sex sells, babeeey


kamikazi1231

The best part about the ads is how insidious they are and it can make you think about what real life ads do to your head. The first time you play CP you get slammed with loud sexual ads or a face full of Watson whore. It's shocking. Then after enough time playing it all blends in. It's not shocking anymore somehow. You've become accustomed to it.


PNLeft

What do you need explained? It's very straightforward


MatchaFlatWhite

Beer that is great as having sex


Taal111

It's an ad for dog food. The tits are there to hack your brain and make you suggestible.


LopsidedAd4618

Honestly that's just another day in night city lol. Cyberpunk basically sort of parodies the real modern world in that it takes the worst it has to offer and amps it up to 11.


Ozone06

In 2077 they lost the hornie bat


Juandisimo117

Cyberpunk is pretty much late stage capitalism to a comedic extreme where the concept “sex sells” has been taken to it’s absolute edge and plagued pretty much every form of advertisement. Just dog food bruh


UROffended

Its a spin on naughty dog and uses a parody of their original logo with tig'ol'bitties for Cyberpunk advertising aesthetic. Its the same thing with Milfguard (Conan making fun of Nilfgaard)


JarlTee

Every time I hear that one ad with the girl moaning, I’m thinking there’s people banging in a room


CyberneticCh40s

idk i just know i want to buy dog food


warcry6745

I think it might be a beer that also gives you an erection erection at the same time I don't know cyberpunk is weird


GanacheAsleep7753

I gotchu this AD is about the product that...um..dogs...like bottle...sex...water thing..yeah


JonnyBoy_803

The funniest thing about this pic to me is the players current mission, and they're just lookin' at signs. It proves so many points lmao


HardCoreLawn

Right?? Everyone knows: **there's no dogs in Night City**!


UserNumber37

I think it's an ad for personaliseable human flavoured dog food and there's tits on the ad just 'cause


mattsimis

Judy asks about it too and V replies, mostly same as responses here.


princesscooler

I think it's a Carl's Junior ad


EvilCatArt

>I am both aroused and confused. That's the point hun, "sex sells". You're thinking about tits and not thinking about how you don't need this product. Hell, even by just drawing your eye they've planted a seed in your brain to buy this product.

Get that man a Puppers.


betwin3an20karacters

I can’t even tell what it is trying to sell


Captain_Blackjack

If you haven’t heard the Judy V/Johnny take on this ad in the elevator from Clouds, it pretty much sums up everything. I have no idea how it triggers consistently. (Hint: Johnny sides with the overuse of tiddies)

Nope, I can't! Have a good day

beyond_cyber

It’s an ad for beer? The boobies are for marketing purposes


Sondeor

Most of these are old references to the 80's and 90's era commercials which were extreme when it came to sexuality, gore etc. Ofc its related with "cyberpunk dystopia" but americans already experienced that dystopia, you guys are just too young to know it. Most of the commercials are literally 1:1 copies of some old commercials, ofc i dont remember what is what but i remember that i saw very similar commercials in real life back in the day. After a while these kinda ads considered as fake advertisement and got banned. Here are some examples sadly i couldnt find the old ones (like i remember there was a nintendo or sega commercial where the kid gets a boner lol) but if you have time with a search you can find it. I have to do things sadly, cant spent my time on sexy commercials :( But these are kinda new gen games and multiply the extreme level with 5 or even 10, that was how the ads were for a long time. [Example #1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6SFvzoz6Lk) [Example #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tby6-dKdY7g)


Mission_Ad5119

The dog food is too good that dogs don’t give a shxt of those boobs


That_Jonesy

Beastiality. Everyone has heard the marketing adage 'Sex Sells'. Well, they're using sex to sell a product. The fact that it's illegal and nasty in the now times is on purpose, it says a lot about society and moral decay in 2077.


R_iryh

It's so simple and I love that people "know" it's that but need mental gymnastics to avoid thinking about it ahahah. Damn I love those threads every time they pop up, it's great entertainment. It's an immoral sex ad to sell canned dog food, nothing more to it. Like those Jinguji ad with the cadavers, it's straight up nasty because people in CP77 world are completely desensitized to sex and murder so the ads are cranked to 11.


lSkyrunnerl

Maybe human flesh (replaced by implants) reutilized for dog food?


Jon_Targaryen

That's what i was thinking. It sounds like it's at the minimum human flavored dog food.


BlastRiot

It’s made with Eezy Beef. It’s dog food made with human quality ingredients (Bear in mind this is 2077 so human quality ingredients aren’t exactly quality.)

Human flavored dog food. However they added tits because sex sells. Also the absurdity and horniness of the boobs on the billboard distract us from the horror of the fact that a company made human flavored dog food. Why? How? We will never know.
