The Quest for the Holy G is a set of commercials that takes Gatorade to the next step: mass genocide. They took the basic premise of Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, took a shit on it and passed it off as a commercial -- each one of the people that made it probably feeling nice and smug every time they see their half assed attempt to sell their product. The best part is, they don't even mention their product. They only put a "G" with the trademark thunderbolt behind it.

News flash: Your product is neither Coca-cola nor Pepsi and isn't known world-wide either. No one gives a shit about your logo or about your electrolytes.

Does this commercial piss any one else off? Or is it just me and my attachment to the comedic stylings of Monty Python?

EDIT: I tried to find the commercial on their website to show people who haven't seen it before, but their site only appears as a blank, black page.

I saw the one where they were stopped by the Jabbawockeez just before the bridge. They had to do a dance off to pass by. I didn't even know it was Gatorade until I saw the G with the bolt. The commercial before this was more annoying. The G is to blah blah commercial.

Actually, Gatorade "is" Pepsi insofar as it is manufactured by the Quaker Oats Company, now a division of PepsiCo. [1]

I don't think Gatorade is concerned with informing people who don't know about it. And I'd dare say it's more known than Pepsi.

I doubt people know the logo as much as they know the Pepsi logo. Who are they even trying to market their product to? The audience and product are both unclear, making this commercial a complete fail.

That's the current Pepsi logo. Are you telling me you knew that better than



Not even all of Pepsi's websites have their logo.

I never said it was better than. I said it's more known than. They're logo isn't used enough for it to be known world wide like Pepsi's is (which is it, people in Africa, China, Britian, Spain, and Mexico know of this logo). They could have the best logo ever, but that doesn't mean they can use it instead of saying what their product actually is at this point in time.

G - a collection of actors, athletes, and rappers that have contributed nothing positive to the society(in an end sum), and perpetuate the myth that striving to become a rapper, athlete, or actor is the best and easiest career path in life. I am a causality to this deception. Just thinking about all the time I could have been spending on more fruitful things makes me want to take all their lives.

3 parts water
1 part orange juice
pinch of salt
cup of sugar(for a 4litre batch)

theres a sports drink that costed you about 2$(assuming the OJ isnt on sale) for 4litres, which is about 4x cheaper than gatorade, only downside one flavour. enjoy. you can change the sugar quantity to your liking, though the salt is replacing the loss of sodium in your body, gatorade also does this only they call them "electrolytes"

Orange Juice in a sports drink? Are you retarded?

Thigh high affectionado

Weither or not the commercials suck, I find gatorade helped me more when I had a job then energy drinks (Dont start a convorsation on the negative effects on those, you know damn well you drink em cause they taste good too).

I too am a Monty Python fan. How dare they take a shit on such an awesome movie >.<
What ever happened to great commercials, with plots? Where you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting! (more Idiocracy)
