Wow, that was painful. How again did that advertise YF in any way? I mean, I get the association - Igor, hump. But, random tourists? A sign? Dogs humping? And with the possible casting of Leachman my interest in this show had actually risen from the dead (and this is coming from someone who actually almost enjoyed it this past summer, pretty much entirely based on the Karen Wa...um...Megan Mullally factor). Eeek.

Stupidest piece of advertising/marketing I ever saw. I mean, was it really necessary to go on for over 1 minute of people going "Happy hump day!"? The average person might not even get the Young Frankenstein connection till towards the END of the commercial, and by 20 seconds, they'll probably have already stopped watching it. Which is why it is stupid. You only have so much time to capture a person's attention, and I grow bored less than halfway through. If they can't capture the audience to at least make the Young Frankenstein connection, then it fails...good thing the user name is "YFtheMusical."

Oh god. Oh god.

Dumb! It melted my brain.

That's the best they can do/afford?

Seriously, it's a mildly funny show, can't they make the promo funny? You can do so much with "Hump Day" and that's what they chose?
