JasCollins says it's pronounced 'Jazz'

I love watching you be embarrassed about having your channel pimped. Cutest ever.

I signed up for real and got Turtles all the way down. I’m gonna DO IT with audiobooks just like BumbleBee did it with the radio;)

Lindsay can do no wrong. If she shows me her enemies, I will smite them.

You can't do it with with audio books. You can try with regular books but it's not really recommended.

I'd say the problem here is not that the reading makes Audible look unattractive - it doesn't, but it does make the Audible advertising writers look silly. And it's the Audible advertising people who - I presume - get to decide whether they like the reading. I hope I'd have more humor about it if given the opportunity to reject a video that points out that I used "more" twice in one sentence and called my tagline terrible. But would I? I'm not in advertising, and I doubt I'll ever have an opportunity to test it.

Beetlecat

Eeee hee hee ;D

Mark Tomczak

Love it, and I have no idea why they didn't use it. Hey, I have to ask: what is that jazzy theme playing under the video?

Antha Auciello

Jeff Bezos does not care if we are entertained. He owns us.

Michael Green

I joined your Patreon to watch this and it was worth it.

Zoë Blade

This is great! If I were an evil corporation, I'd be happy with it. It's talking about the brand while actually being entertaining.

Clinton Johnston

I can't see what they possibly could have disliked about that ad copy.

Exprmntle

Hey... Don't tip over your own rice bowl, Ellis! But, surely, they knew what they were buying, the sponsor...

Sterling Treadwell

lol wow i don't see why they rejected it. it's like your best work! :D

It would look like a wetter world, Lindsay.

Jasmijn Wellner

Of all the Audible ads I've seen, this is the only one that made me actually consider signing up

Never mind -- I'm obviously having a brain fart kind of morning!

??? I can't seem to access what she's posted, despite being a patron. Is there a link somewhere in this?

MercuryBuddha

Is this not basically the version we saw in live? How could they not like this? XD

Martin Karsten

:-D What made me grin the most were the few times when genuine Amusement was breaking through the rictus smile of your sales person persona.

Josh Draper

John's weirdly agressive reading of "IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A BETTER WORLD LINDSAY" gets me every time.

how could they not like this

issa

i'm like 400% more likely to listen to this version than any half-earnest attempt.

Dan Wilson

I am shocked... shocked, I say... that they weren't overwhelmed with enthusiasm.

Matt Kulisch

Baahhhhahaha!!! Oh fucking hell, this is the thang! 🤣

muddlewait

And I got 8 audiobooks for Christmas! Sounds like they'll get me through some lonely nights

Callen

I feel so privileged to see this.

GrumpySteen

Honestly, this is the closest a paid Audible promotion has ever come to making me want to subscribe. They should have gone with this.

Becky Pennock

"You CANNOT do it with audiobooks!" ... not with that attitude 😉

Player13

I would love to do it with audiobooks!

mud

Bezos be praised!

mud

lol

TalysAlankil

this is everything i need

You can also do it with your PS4. :) It's the leading cause of death in basements.

Sue Donem

I'm sorry for your video's loss, this was a truly beautiful section

I would just like to say that the introduction of John Green in the episode was executed perfectly. From the moment Lindsay name dropped him I went from "alright, cameo incoming in 3, 2, 1" to "meh, no cameo after all" to "how could I have for a second thought there was not going to be a cameo!".

Well, the tagline definitely catches your attention lol

Thanks — I love it!

Stephi Anne-with-an-E

I mean, it is, but the officially published version didn't include "That is a terrible tagline ... you CANNOT do it with audiobooks."

Lord Bezos is displeased.

Jason Harner

Lol, that is some quality advertising right there.

Orellien

LFW you fly too close to the sun :D.

Anna Keet

I had a feeling some bits were cut out when watching the original video. This clip makes more sense than the clip that ended up in the video.

Jason Olshefsky

(Tries to muster an iota of sympathy for yet another aggregator company that "earns" a percentage off creators' backs) ... Nope. Just can't. Sorry, Audible.

Seraphina

I guess they don't like backtalking on the their taglines.

Rodrigo V. Perez

In case you haven't read it yet, she shared an anecdote of the interview on Twitter. <a href="https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1080201842259197953" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/1080201842259197953</a>

Rich Stoehr

I had a feeling that hijinks and shenanigans ensued for that part of your last video.

I have never seen so many of your teeth at once, and typing that was weird.

i'm dying lmaooooo

John Diniz

Thanks for sharing this

Sam Fulton

Dammit lindsay that was precious!

Why was this rejected? Like surely this is just as goofy and irrelevant as what actually got put out, isn't it?

you slumping into the couch at the end is the BEST

John Diniz

HA!

Jackson Bockus

Look I don’t want to get to personal here But Lindsay’s right. You can.

I get the feeling that all online content creators now need a skill point spent in advertisment or a year's worth of experience at a TV shopping channel lol
