June 9, 2008

REMINDER: The special episode is airing tonight. You can watch a preview here

The Hollywood Reporter says NBC will air a special "Incredible Hulk"-themed episode of "American Gladiators" with guest star Lou Ferrigno sharing the arena with host Hulk Hogan.

The "Gladiators" episode will include a hulked-out Gladiator Arena and an exclusive 60-second preview from the June 13 release The Incredible Hulk.

The "Hulk"-themed "Gladiators" episode airs June 9.

About 1,000 pairs of Hulk Hands will be given to audience members to wear throughout the episode, and some also will wear Hulk masks. Gladiators will likewise use Hulk Hands while competing in the Gauntlet.

And just about everything will be green!

Wha Wha What??? I don't watch American Gladiators and I really don't care for the show. I guess I'll watch some clips on Youtube. Oh, hum.

Awesome, i love the new show.

the show is fun.....and although this American Gladiator Hulk theme sounds INCREDIBLY cheesy, so is the show and I think it'll be a nice fit. Much better than some of the forced movie tie-ins they push down the fans of American Idol, anyway

Heh...
Behold and fear the Mighty Marvel Marketing Department! Fear them for they are not subtle and not afraid to be so!

Sounds pathetically and horribly cheesy. I'm sure the backyard wrestling/NASCAR set will lap it up like the tasteless trailer trash dogs they are.

i might have to check it out. hulk hands during the gauntlet sounds intriguing.

WTF????

Posted by: FireFly's Enigma on May 23, 2008 at 02:47:06

TY Charles Lee! I could not have said it better.

That sure beats the moon landing.

That's not all, folks. McDonalds is going to debut a "hulked out" Big Mac called the McHulk, with green french fries and Coke.

And Mercedes-Benz is manufacturing a green version of their CLK called the HLK.

If you don't believe me, check their respective websites.

Marvel is pulling out all the stops with the marketing stuff. They really mean business.

Made you look.

HULK SMASH PUNY GLADIATORS!

This could be fun, and it's a pretty cool marketing idea. Pity I won't see it, being in the UK and all.

HAHAHA, that'd be even more hilarious if it was true. Quality though. HLK! Hahaha.

@Harish

Thanks, bro. I got a million of 'em.

Tacky product placement.

Posted by: Shi Don Yu on May 23, 2008 at 05:56:26

And Oscar Meyer is promoting the film with "Hulk wieners" They're 'gamma green' and twice the size of the regular wieners!

Villa - you're a twerp

Posted by: Kyle on May 23, 2008 at 06:25:21

I jumped on this marketing thing a LONG time ago. I actually already have a Hulk weiner. Had it since birth. Crazy.

Posted by: Double D on May 23, 2008 at 06:57:43

I will be watching,sounds like fun. I want to see the new 60 second Hulk promo

Posted by: Milkshake Drinker on May 23, 2008 at 07:40:06

If you have a Hulk weiner, does that mean it only gets big and green when you're angry? I'm no love doctor, but I have a feeling the only women who'd want to even get near that probably need shots and some Prozac.

I think this will be a rousing success...until the show starts and it gets excruciatingly cheesy.

steroids on parade!

Posted by: the midnight bomber what bombs at midnight on May 23, 2008 at 07:45:03

Ouch. Iron Man gets a year-long campaign and all the sweet marketing deals. Hulk gets barely a month's campaign, dietary supplements and American Gladiators. I'm intrigued by the trailers, but when I have to start associating the Hulk with these things, I'm losing interest. Why doesn't Marvel just do a direct-to-video release instead of this pathetic, lukewarm, no confidence deal?

Posted by: foo_man_ju on May 23, 2008 at 08:12:39

Cool so the 5 million people that watch it will get hulk-ti-fyd!
