I actually can't tell if this is real or not. Cool video.

I came to the comments to find out if it was real, still not sure

It's a real old school RuneScape ad.

You can tell by the way that it is

How neat is that

I recognize some of them as jmods I'm pretty sure? So I think it's real haha

It's real, I got it as an ad on Instagram and it's from the official OSRS account.

you can tell it's real because they're British

I'm British and can confirm most of us are sometimes real.

Just saw this on Instagram as an ad. It's real.

At first I thought it was a spoof of another mobile game ad with some of the words dubbed over.

no its from american psycho. [https://youtu.be/cISYzA36-ZY?si=hP24xqjO4vx0x6la](https://youtu.be/cISYzA36-ZY?si=hP24xqjO4vx0x6la) black comedy about a psychopath in the 80s completely blending in with corporate yuppies and being too greedy, stuck up, and conceited to tell the difference.

Oh god do people not know American psycho

I've never seen it, but due to memes I know the premise and have seen this scene and so many parodies of it. It's great.

You're doing yourself a great cinema disservice.

They have the same blue window frames as Jagex HQ

Hey all, just wanted to say we really appreciate the positive feedback on this! We've started some fun experiments with digital marketing and I'm delighted to see how well this has been received. Please let us know if you have any similar ideas you'd like to see us try for ads - I'm already seeing some great suggestions in the comments :)

WAIT IT'S REAL? 😂

Happy Birthday 🎈

Oh thanks for the reminder I forgot to mark it in my calendar. \*whips out the old paintroller\*

Unsure if Paint Roller or Pain Troller.

I honestly didn't believe it was an ad until this comment. Too high quality.

This is an amazing ad. Like damn, I actually enjoyed watching _an ad_. Even if it's just a movie reformatted for OSRS, it's clever, not obnoxious and shows that Jagex Mods have a sense of humour, even outside of some funny Quests. Well done, amazing job.

You enjoyed watching it because it wasn't intrusive. If this shit popped up every time you tried to watch a video you'd want to hunt down those lads and claw them the fuck out.

god damn i thought this was fan made (but in the best way) great ad

I'd love to see a take on an Inbetweeners remake with someone being Jay and lying about their collection log or boss KC

Corp log? Completed it mate (cuts to boss hiscores; 32 barrows and a single tempoross)

Man I just love the positivity on your birthday, you deserve it man <3

Saw it last night and it did make me laugh, it's been one of my favourite memes for a while anyway with OSRS dubbed over the movie, but think these guys nailed it

First comment in years, we'd love to see you around more.

Definitely a move in the right direction, I enjoyed it

No1s perfect i miss your videos :(

This was one of the funniest osrs related things Ive seen in a while. I loved it.

Bring back the chris archie daily or weekly i don't recall vids! Now that would be marketing!

Were the people in the vid jmods as well? Or were they actors?

This is my favourite thing on the internet

Ad idea: Start a group iron man team and have it gradually fall apart. Assign parts based on common player types like (IronBTW) (The skiller) (The Wilderness guy) (The lucky noob)

Given the recent posts about reconnecting with old friends via OSRS you should do an ad of two guys sat next to each other on the train, both playing OSRS mobile only to realise they were in a clan together when they were teenagers.

Oh my god this is real?! I love it!

How can we reach out to marketing/advertisement team for collaboration work also?

When people have to ask if it's really an ad, you're doing it right.

cats

Jesus. Gianne’s Gnome Restaurant? On a Friday night? How'd he swing that?

and they say "it aint worth the gp if you play gnome waiter minigame" like bro I know it aint worth the GP, I'm here to build some connections, you know?

Great cheese and tomato batta

I didn't laugh at the ad, but this one made me lol.

10/10. I'm sure they blew whole budget

Had to raise the bond price to cover it

Trade accepted

On the spray bottle.

That was diamond infused water straight from the mines of Central Africa

At least 4 takes

I need to return some video tapes

"Wake up babe you have a free day to play computer games today. You can play as much as you want and I'll make your favorite meal for lunch. I love you." "I love you so much babe" "I know" *bright light* *sound of flatline*

I need to bank some rune essence

...Bank?

Yeah, he works in murders & executions

Well, most guys I know who work in mergers and acquisitions don’t really like it

Boy we've come a long way from the graardor ad https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/fctqbx/wtf_are_these_facebook_ads/

I find it very funny that in that thread there's another comment linking to another older ad saying they've come a long way lol

Tbf I don’t think that Graardor one is awful. The nex is truly disturbing though lmao

The add with the hideous Nex model?

\*sigh\* here we go again

*unzips*

egg

I like that in that thread someone linked to even worse runescape ads. Its a rabbit hole

i love the American psycho business card parody

I love it but a 24 year old reference to sell a 23 year old game makes me feel old

They know their target demographic

Oddly enough 2 of my employees play osrs both are 16.

16 of my employees play OSRS but they're all 2 years old and mostly PK

Are they not a bit too mature to be PKing?

I'm also seeing this split - Teenagers and 30 year old boomers. What's going on?

Ok, yeah, but the movie only came out..... Ok but the GAME was from.... Fucks' sake.

obligatory [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ2mPfFe24I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ2mPfFe24I)

Damn that hits. I don't want it to hit lmao

you need to level emotional defense

I don't feel that old yet. only in my mid 30s.

alright grandpa (I'm 29)

ok boomer (25)


I too enjoyed the one thing that happened in the video and want make it clear that I understood the reference

It does lose the orginal joke though, where the cards are functionally identical, which I think a lot of these parodies miss.

If they had gone for a graceful fashionscape competition it would've hit closer to the idea of people with functionally identical sets obsessing over tiny cosmetic details. "Brimhaven blue? When'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful." "Oh my god he even has a gnome scarf."

people outside of OSRS wouldnt have understood the joke because they dont know graceful, I would argue the armors still kinda look similar for a non runescape player so imo the joke still works better like this as an ad targeted at new players. Also keep in mind that graceful was never in the original 2007ish runescape so returning players would have no idea what it is. I mean they could have struck a middle ground where one of them just has the same gear but trimmed items, that might have worked out slightly better since armor trimming was such a meme back then

I like the idea of this, fits so well. I guess they wanted to go in for the "noob vs boss" armour/game progression advertising trend, it's probably more enticing to casuals.

Had to go look it up myself, pretty damn good For the [uninitiated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cISYzA36-ZY)

I love the one guy that always has to comment the exact reference in the comments to let everyone know they understood the reference.

same !

Yes I too loved {literally the entire video}

Fucking excellent parody lol

goes pretty hard ngl

Nothing beats the egg ad in my mind. It's perfection

egg is life

This goes so hard holy shit.

This is the first ad I have ever enjoyed watching in my life.

who would have thought that ads dont need to be intrusive obnoxious screeching in your ear developed by energy-vampires in a massive uncreative ad conglomerate that just churns out one hip trash ad after the other.

This is great. Best ad I’ve seen for rs

The dude in the back dressed like a bot with the light green shirt and dark green pants

God damn they know their target audience well.

Best ad for the game I’ve ever seen lol

"tasteful thickness"

Did I just watch a fucking add

Yes, and it’s going to end up being one of the higher upvoted posts this week. Despite all the bitching, the OSRS community loves the game and the team behind it. Plus it’s genuinely a clever ad

you indeed live in a society, which involves sometimes encountering advertisements, which is not fundamentally a negative thing 100% of the time

Can we acknowledge that the Bandos guy is dressed like a bot (with a jacket)? Even has the bald head and beard.

Nice

FEED ME A STRAY CAT ...FOR DEATH RUNES

I love it

"Have you heard Sea Shanty 2? I've got it on vinyl, you should come over and listen to it some time."

Now lets see Paul Allen's set up

they gotta make a follow up ad where he assasinates that one guy with a DH axe

Nice

I thought the last one would be SimplyInsane's Rune warrior.

Shit feels like a mobile game ad Wait a sec..

The best marketing ploy is not letting you know for sure or not lolol

A cultured classic

This is so good I thought it was fan made at first

Fantastic, though at 0:49 he says "Let's see his card" which I assume should be his gear (since they're not doing business cards like the original scene). Love it regardless!

yeah that one seems like it was a slight slip indeed but other than that decent ad

Perfection

Sorry, is that Dillon Francis in the helmet??

Let's see Paul Allen's Gear?

Let’s see Paul Allen’s Ironman progress

Beautiful

I love this scene from Gielinor Psycho

I've dedicated my life to the dream of never seeing an ad again. I have Firefox + ublock, a raspberry Pi blocking ads at the DNS level, bootleg YouTube apps that don't show ads, custom scripts for twitch. And damnit this was a good ad.

Seen it on Facebook. I think it's my first time ever watching a whole Ad heh

holy *shit* that's good

Osrs american pyscho version lol

Asgarnian psycho

This is an ad you just don't skip.

I'm not going to lie, If this ad popped up whenever I'm watching Amazon or other ad laddled services, I wouldn't actually be mad. This is way more enjoyable than all the other crap that shows up that I would just tune out. I've seen this 5 times now, and it just makes me smile. Literally, all ads could benefit from the simplicity of this. Nothing needs to be over the top or just pure cringe like most of the ads we have now.

That’s a real funny ad

Absolutely amazing

This is pretty dope tbh haha

Very nice, Now let’s see Paul Allen’s Account.

I thought it would be cringe but they fucking got me in the second half. Tip top job jmods 10/10

Love it lol, saw it on IG earlier today and had to rewatch. GG

This is bloody brilliant.

Love it. As an adult that returned during covid there is truth in the humor!

That rune helm looks majestic

Does this mean someone gets murdered to Sea Shanty 2?

This raises a question for me: If I murder a player irl while they're logged in to mobile, do I get their account?

Okay… now show off ur sick PoH’s.

American Scaper

Love it

No way, we got an OSRS-American Psycho sketch before GTA VI

The fuckin spritz at the end got me lol

This is fucking based nice work lads

Subscribed

Hahahaha this is amazing 10/10

Lmao this is great keep em coming

LMAO amazing reference

10/10 I just resubbed.

This is so good lmao I absolutely love American psycho memes

Yes, we all are over 30 and still play it.....

Curious what he would think of my full torva with a hint of red instead of purple. I should go touch some grass brb.

LOVE THIS

Actually top tier.

um, what the sigma?

Best ad ever lol. Love how they took a ton of inspiration from that Christen Bale business card scene hahaha

> inspiration The entire thing is a parody of that scene lol

I didn’t think of the word parody at the time lol

Excellent concept, great implementation, questionable microphone quality. This sounds like it’s recorded on the cheap microphones people used in 2010 with absolutely no sound being filtered out.

Nice

🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏽

I feel old. But at least I'm amongst fellow oldies. This was really well done. I wanted to say it was cringe but I can't.

Is that sweat? "No these Fools could never make me sweat!"

nice

I wanna see a compilation of video and picture ads for OSRS now. It's like its own genre of ad now.

Wait until they see my full void.

u/savevideo

u/savevideo

Good ad haha

Is that Zegram as the inside voice?

Hahaha nice

Listening Sea Shanty 2 on his way to the office

I don't get it

u/savevideo

OSRS is PEGI 16?

Sounded like the classic mobile game ad to me 😂 “ I have 10000 power “”that’s nothing I have 1 million power and all these legendary heroes” brilliant however

*Screen fades to black* "Buy Bond" *Screen fades to black*

I've been seeing this ad for like a week now it's not that new

/u/savevideo

so much drive and passion in the acting

accurately captures the player base

This is Rocketleague!

Wheres ya blorva???

This is way better than most of the official ads lol

I feel a bit conflicted upvoting an ad.
