It showed three kids with Fireflys and they were shooting it in the dark! I saw it two minutes ago, on Cartoon Network! Did anyone else see this?

Wow, they used obvious 18 year old or older people in the dart tag video. Guess theyre trying to rope in an older crowd too? Although, I guess they couldnt really have kids jumping around and doing the stuff they were in the video though.

Hey nerf guns are NOT just for little kids. I keep getting teased about that. They're not! Maybe I just need to blast them in the face with my Titan

[Crappy Nerfer]

^ Agreed. I don't see why older kids/teens can't play with Nerf guns without people thinking they are weird or geeks. It's fun to shoot foam at people.

I hate it when kids try and get me to change to paintballing, or airsoft guns. So i just shot them up with my Rapidfire 20. That seemed to make things worse though.

I saw the commercial and personally I thought it made NERF look really really gay, gayer than Yooper. It showed idiots playing around with them like it's a frickin' million dollars. It also just made it look like an activity for young kids as old as 3 to play with. I thought it sucked ass.

peace out,
Napoleon.

Sqiggs: Which one? I agree if you're talking about the FireFly Commercial.

I like the DTS video. It shows that Nerf can be played by ALL AGES on any level. Even if it's just stock guns. I think the video was cool overall, with the fast motion and Matrix-esque freerunning moves.

I saw it, it made my friend (and I) buy one...

[NerfLad78]

Cartoon Network

There's really nothing good on that channel anymore. [/off topic]
I don't think I'll buy a Firefly, but I will buy the BBB.
The Firefly may be good for an indoor war though...

Some of those guys were pretty dumb, like when he jumped over the railing and the other guy turned around and he's like "OMGOMGOMG UR A HACKER!" [/my reality]

Pretty cool commercial all in all, might have to buy a set of that dart tag stuff. They any good?

[NerfLad78]

They any good?

Yes. Buy one if you can afford it.
And PLEASE Search if you need some more information. There are several topics from when the gun came out that you will find helpful.

If you like high rates of fires, get the FF. Dart tag guns are also rapid fire like the FF. Dart tag looks sweet. I'll look into it. *Watches commercial* HA HA HA! I can do those "stunts" easy. Heck, I can do a friggen front flip on the ground

both commerciels sucked balls in my oppinion.

[3nerfiteers]

I gotta say this. I don't care if the commercials had unicorns in it. In my opinion, if the commercial attracts ANYONE its fine. Those commercials better be wildly attractive to 10 year olds, i thought they were alittle weird but guess what. If hasbro makes alot of money off of this new dart tag thing, what do you think will happen to nerf? It will grow and in turn we will get more guns being designed and on the market. Only good things can come out of commercials.

[1313]

Hey, 3nerfiteers, you got you computer up! And yea I agree with 3, who cares whats in the commercial as long as there promoting the gun and getting little kids to go "WOW!" then they have done there job. More kids seeing nerf guns on tv= More kids getting into nerf.

[flashflint]

One question. Why do we care about comercals?

[SG Pilot]

They point out what's out there I geuss. And when they make kids go "WOW!", that's how they get you to by them. Hence the name advertising. They may also put in propoganda techniques too.
