Who ripped off the others' TV Commercial?

[Green Monstah]

Watching the game last night, I saw the U's advertisement that looked eerily similar to BYU's (upbeat elevator background music, scenes from campus, annotated by three dimensional graphics dealing with rankings, etc.). Did both schools just hire the same Advertising Agency? or did one school rip off the other?

To decide this one, I say look at their respective bodies of work.

Utah's commercial was on the air before BYU's as I seem to recall.

Of course thats how you recall it.

Well, given that the first BYU game he probably watched was BYU v. Utah, it probably makes a little more sense.

I agree. The answer to this should be clear to anyone who has seen the Cosmo halftime videos at BYU games.

Hey, don't make me come and get you...

I dont know but I really like both commercials. They make both campuses look really nice and to do that for the U is a real feat of cinematography. If I'm not mistaken, there are no shots of the Huntsman center in the U commercial.

With regards to the BYU commercial...there is one very brief shot of a girl walking down a set of stairs. She has a nice figure.

When did BYU's first appear, out of curiosity?

IIRC, I first saw Utah's ad last year. Not sure.

Of course, BYU could have just not posted theirs on youtube for 5 or 6 months for no reason at all...

If that's true, I'm pretty sure we ripped you guys off. The first time I remember seeing it was football season (I think). Either way, it wasn't last year.

FWIW, I actually think BYU's is a better commercial. I like that they showed outdoor scenes. The sweeping helicopter views of the campus and the stadium during a game are cool.

Thanks for posting these. I was right about both videos

BYU video @:11 girl has a nice figure!

The Utah video literally shows zero outside shots of campus and not a single frame of the huntsman center. Speaks volumes.

Speaks volumes about what?

What a lame ad, bragging about all of its graduates who go on to get PhDs. Pretentious as hell.
