HTC One spoofs the Bachelorette as she looks for the next phone to become her one true love [VIDEO]

When it comes to the HTC One, it seems HTC could be thinking outside the box when it comes to marketing their upcoming flagship in fun new ways. Sure, they took the HTC One X on a sexy skydiving photo shoot, but that didn’t exactly bring the lulz.

Now, HTC is enlisting the help of James Van Der Beek and the rest of the Funny or Die crew to spoof the Bachelorette in “The One.” Have to admit, the video did manage to give me a good chuckle on a few occasions. Check it out for yourself below and and let us know if you think it’s funny, or should die.

I've been obsessed with consumer technology for about as long as I can remember, be it video games, photography, or mobile devices. If you can plug it in, I have to own it. Preparing for the day when Android finally becomes self-aware and I get to welcome our new robot overlords.

  1. “If you wanna listen to music that loud — go to the club.”

    1. I cracked up when I heard that, and when he said do you got some problem with a phone, are you some kind of phonist, oh, so you own a phone.

      1. Oh, no he di’int! *snaps fingers*

        1. Oh, yes, he did! *clapping hands*

        2. Would love to see this commercial on tv. LOL

        3. Yep… Just got a mental image of you doing a Z snap.

  2. Hahahaha I loved this. Missed James since “Apt 23” got canned. “James – Not a phone” classic.

    1. I think it’s pretty funny and creative too. Way better then their old boring ads, or ads that didn’t make any sense (like the skydiving).

      Overall I think it was creative and a good ad to run. Hopefully they keep up the creativity in their advertising so they remain a viable competitor and prevent Samsung from taking over all of Android.

  3. it should die

  4. I really…… REALLY….. hope this isn’t what HTC thinks is gonna put this excellent device over the top. The HTC ONE deserves better.

  5. HTC hates its new phone!

  6. wow HTC needs a new marketing director. the idea behind this is a copy from bell mobility and blackberry z10.

    1. whatever

  7. Umm so whose gonna see this? Too long for an actual commercial unless they cut it down severally… Meh

    1. It’s for Funny or Die. Like, a viral campaign kinda thing.

    2. Only thing sad is your disgusting screen name

      1. hey buddy! camel snot is a delicacy in some places. Show some respect

    3. Better than idiots saying “derp” in most of their comments.

  8. “I don’t like your dial tone bro”

  9. this is probably the commercial they are showing in the movie theater

  10. Hmmm, well the other phones talk while the HTC One doesn’t. Not sure I could go for the silent type.

    1. It’s quietly brilliant. O_o

  11. I like Stevie iPhone saying “Look, I don’t do apps, I don’t do maps, I don’t play music”.

  12. That was awesome. More, HTC, more!

  13. I just saw a HTC boom sound commercial on FX. I’ve seen it every time it goes to a commercial. Its nce to see HTC putting out ads before the phone is out.

  14. The green ancient dial phone looked like Steve Jobs… coincident?
