Samsung lets the puns fly in this insanely long 4 minute Galaxy Note ad [VIDEO]

Samsung’s latest ad for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 might not be the most effective way to sell someone on why they should buy a smartphone, but here it is — they’ve decided to pun it on up in a 4 minute splash of cheesy lines and dudebro humor. It consists of two guys playing a silly game where they have to force the word “note” into as many words or phrases as possible.

I have to admit — much of it is pretty cringeworthy. I’m not even sure a ton of it is funny. But Samsung often likes to have fun and this is their way of doing it. We don’t imagine the entirety of this thing will be chopped into 30 second spots and put on major television campaigns, but it’s sitting above for you to enjoy if you have 4 minutes to spare today. Let us know what you thought of it down below.

AT&T offers huge double data promotion until the end of October

AT&T’s name doesn’t exactly scream value up against the likes of Sprint and T-Mobile, but it sure looks sweet today. Ma Bell has kicked off a huge double data promotion that will net you double the normal data of mobile share plans between 15GB and 50GB until the end of October. The plan is available for both new and existing customers, with the latter crop of folks even able to receive retroactive bill credits for the data they’ve already been paying for. Here’s how the plans now break down:

• 15GB for $130 becomes 30GB


• 20GB for $140 becomes 40GB


• 30GB for $225 becomes 60GB


• 40GB for $300 becomes 80GB


• 50GB for $375 becomes 100GB

Of course, all these plans come with a smartphone access charge of $15 per month for AT&T Next and no-contract customers or $40 per month for those on two-year contracts, but note that it also includes both unlimited talk and text for all lines.

Even better is the fact that the plans won’t last for a mere couple of years or so — AT&T says it’s yours to keep for as long as you keep service. Doesn’t sound too bad if you’ve been missing unlimited data and need a little more breathing room for month to month. The promotion began yesterday so be sure to call AT&T or stop by a store to get hooked up. There’s no telling when a promotion like this will make its way back onto the deals table so don’t lollygag on getting going with it.
