Just saw it for the first time this morning, wtf is that? An awkward little kid running into a shack, the narrator saying Nebraska isn’t for everyone? I honestly thought it was a joke at first
Visit Nebraska commercial…
- Thread starter Muskyhunter16
- Start date
It’s awful.
Not as bad as Iowa’s “We’re Iowa. We Suck” ongoing campaign though.

Was going to go to the north rim in September....Grand Canyon style.
....but after seeing that commercial? Carhenge here we come baby!!!!

Whatever it takes to keep people from coming here. It's getting bad enough already.
This is just awful. The only upside I see is that hopefully people will not want to move here.
There's nothing good about that. Whomever thought that ad campaign up should be fired.
I’m starting to think, besides husker football, Nebraska might not be for me

Probably same people that thought bud light was a good idea
It should be a quick few clips of....
1. Henry Doorly Zoo
2. Lincoln Haymarket / Omaha Old Market
3. Memorial Stadium for a football game
4. Chimney Rock / SAC Museum
5. Sandhills joy ride
6. I still think most outsiders would enjoy Mahoney State Park and things around it.
All in all, it should be a quick commercial. At least our state didn't shutdown during Covid like some other more popular states did.

Disagree
It should be 45 seconds of quick cuts, arranged thusly:
Inside of PJ on final descent
Walking down jet stairs on Mullen airstrip
Black car pulling into Sandhills
Golf cart pulling up to Ben’s cabin
Drone tee shot off #1
Fade to black
Nebraska - The Good Life
Chimney Rock...Scottsbluff monument...Toadstool Park and floating down the river in a bath tub drinking non AB products are things they should have put on there....but I'm fine if nobody comes though. Who wants more people?
Isn’t this what the tunnel walk video looks/looked like
From a tourism standpoint, Nebraska is just a place that people stop on the way to Colorado or Yellowstone. It should be marketed as such...basically as a place for you to get a warm up to your outdoor activities before you get to the higher elevation in the mountains.
I just saw an ad for the New York Times that said “you can only understand chewing gum once you realize how much of it is on our streets.”
So, at least we’re not dead last in this category

You are so right.
Living in the twin cities, it is amazing how many people here talk about driving through the state to get to Colorado.
Most state tourism ads don't make sense to me. Not many are as bad as Nebraska's creepy kid ad, but Missouri's "you can all me Mo" campaign is almost as bad. Kansas and Iowa tourism ads are also dull AF.
North Dakota and South Dakota at least seem to know how to produce attractive TV ads that emphasize scenery and wide open spaces. If you're going to buy ads in big, crowded population centers, those will at least get some attention.

To be fair there is probably a correlation between attractive TV ads and having something worth visiting.
Scottsbluff and NE Iowa are pretty cool, but probably not worthy of a visit for most. The only other state that might be worse to visit in the Midwest is Kansas.
Certainly is that. But this is supposed to be marketing, not quirky.
Like those dumb Superbowl ads where they try so hard to be hip and clever, fail miserably, then even forget to sell the product.
Kayso... It's fulla kids like that one in Jerry Maguire?? Then they run rampant... Still children of the corn happening ou'dere? God blessem. An I can see why it ain't for everyone... We all got our own problems
Yep. N isn't too smart when it comes to selling the state. Pretty dumb to even air shit like that! And I love Lincoln but we do put some dumb commercials out there

This looks like a young man on a wild animal!! I'm not sure why he is so excited... still looks like Nebraska ain't for everyone... :/Well in that case

So, a prevailing opinion is that there are too MANY people in Nebraska, and tourists should spend their dollars, Euros, and Yen elsewhere?
The weird kid commercial makes more sense now.
