VERIZON WIRELESS COMMERCIAL SPOOFS ‘TWILIGHT’

Posted February 15th, 2010 By: Team Switzerland 19 Comments »

In a new commercial from cell phone provider Verizon Wireless, they spoof a very familiar topic to us all. They have the all-too-familiar blue tint, the same scenery and similar clothing, and a love triangle between a vampire, a human, and a werewolf. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Check out Verizon’s clever spoof of The Twilight Saga (with emphasis on New Moon) below:

Haha! I think this commercial is great and I hope to see it more often on TV. Verizon: 1; Other cell phone providers: 0 ;) What do you think of this commercial? Have you gotten a chance to see it on TV yet?

    Hahaha… I love seeing anything Twilight…but fangs? tisk tisk

  • Robsessed_Cullen

    Really??? I was watching Monday Night raw, and this commercial came on, and I didn’t know what to think of it, I just can’t believe that people are using twilight for buisness. Thats just not right!!

  • TaliMoo

    Lol I litterally laughed out loud at the ending lol..

    It was pretty similar to twilight but not entirely.

  • Isarma

    It kind of threw me off a bit…the fangs were a little overdone, but I have to say that I totally killed myself laughing at the ending! LOL!!

  • slarian

    haha this was so clever, it is gonna have a lot of viewers, most of them being twilight saga fans

  • kevin

    i saw it during Life Unexpected on CW. they should’ve ‘premiered’ it during The Vampire Diaries ha

    but yeah i had issues with the fangs too. it annoyed me. and they sound they made? what the crap. it reminds me of a search engine commercial, i want to say Bing, where the girl’s looking up restaurants while the guy keeps closing the curtains.

  • jen

    Ha ha. Okay that was funny. Haven’t seen it on tv yet though.

  • Bree

    How sad is it that those speical effects were better than the ones in the movie

  • android_429

    it’s obvious that it’s inspired by twilight, but for legal/copyright issues they had to make at least some aspects (teeth) more traditional and non-twilighty.

    i think it’s cute!

  • Amanda

    The fangs were more True Blood. Probably a mixture they were going for.

    Bree, your right about the effects, sad.

  • rosie

    so.. whats up?;)LOL that pretty much summarize twilight!!

    The ending, at first, made me laugh. Then I realized they’re making it seem like Jacob will take Bella because Edward doesn’t want her, like she’s leftovers (I realize these characters are NOT Bella, Edward, and Jake, but still). This I don’t approve of.
    But still a cute commercial.
    I wouldn’t be surprised if they start using Twilight for everything.
    Cookies, Prom dresses, antacids.
    Yup. Gonna happen.

  • PrincessJen

    That made me crack up! LOL how the dude vampire went to hang out with other human girls!!!

  • Mztlynne

    The ending made me laugh. My grandma gave me a look. lol. But really? More twilight for business stuff? I mean, they reprinted Wuthering Heights, and on the cover theres a little circle that says “Bella & Edwards Favorite Book”. Really? I didn’t buy it cuz i didnt want the publishers to get the money. It’s ok to advertise if it relates to twilight. Like volvo using for their cars. But things like this? And vitamin water a few months back? They’re using a good story too make money. I don’t think it’s right… Haha, sorry. Just had to get that out there.

  • Rete

    LMAO!!!! OMG!!! The ending is what had me rolling on the floor, especially when the wolf winked at “Bella”! Oh my gosh that was great! My hubby is a cable guy for a leading competitor of Verizon but I have to say, Verizon got my vote tonight! :)

  • jenna

    yeahhhh! i could not find this video anywhere! thanks for posting it! this is SO funny. LMAO when the wolf was all “whats up” BEST PART!!!

  • gingersnap87

    i just watched that on youtube and i laughed.
