Comedy Central to be giving out 48 Wiis! [Mobile/Archive]

Wii, to Go

Comedy Central will once again exploit the properties of tryptophan with its "Thanxgiveaway Wiikend," an event designed to expose the turkey-tranquilized to Nintendo's Wii gaming console and Toyota's Scion.

The cable net will give away 48 Wiis and 48 TomTom portable GPS devices over the weekend of Nov. 23-27. To enter, viewers have to tune in to interstitials running throughout the weekend that will include code words they can enter online. The interstitials will feature four families in a reality TV spoof that takes place on Thanksgiving Island and is hosted by comedian Brian Unger. "It's sort of Gilligan's Island meets Survivor; it's our own kind of take on reality shows," said Heather Zarnett, CC vp-promo marketing.

The interstitials also will work in plugs for Wii and the Scion. A grand prize winner will receive a tricked-out Scion that looks like a Wii console.

I hope everyone here watches some CC so everyone has a chance.

This is only awesome if the thing has a Wiimote for a steering wheel.

Then it is beyond badass.

I hadn't heard this story yet, how'd you get the 360 free?

You just watch the show an dput in codes on the site? Then just a drawing out of the people that put the answers in? Do you have a better chance if you put in more answers?

For God's sake, do not drive it in full sunlight!!!

So between this and the Wii's prominent spot in last week's South Park, it looks like the system has earned some pretty significant street cred.

Just watch Comedy Central all weekend long, starting Thursday, 11/23 to Sunday, 11/26 from 11a/10c to 11p/10c, and write down the codes every hour. Then, come back to enter your list for your chance to win.

Danimal

11-23-2006, 11:18 AM

I'm glad they don't actually draw winners for the hourly prizes every hour through the weekend. I'll try to watch and get codes from the TV as much as I can, but there's no way I'd be able to just watch all weekend. I like how, as long as people post the codes here, we'll be able to enter for each hourly prize all at once.

Ikohn4ever

11-23-2006, 11:42 AM

this is startin soon, so everyone get ready, hopefully when I win the Wii Scion I can sell it quickly on Ebay for the 360 Mini

Redeema

11-23-2006, 01:02 PM

okay so are we supposed to just gather all the codes and enter them in like at the end of the day or do we just put them in one at a time? I just put in the first one, but it seems like putting them in one at a time is going to be tedious having to fill out that form 12 times a day or whatever it is.

By the way thanks for the code.

Actually, it has been an hourly contest every thanksgiving. Last year, I was one of the two guys that watched all weekend long and got the codes and posted them on xbox-scene....

Are you thinking the Marvel one from last month? I didn't do that one...

I did this last year with the 360. They even had another way of entering by putting the codes on an index card and mailing them in for more chances. Did that also but no luck. Should I enter 1 code at a time or all at once?

You can enter up to 12 codes each day (singles, partly, or all the codes at once) or even upload all three days worth of codes at the end. I believe the drawing itself won't happen until December 19th, but either way winners arn't declaired each hour, they just say that as a marketing ploy (48 codes, 48 hours, 48 winners. Each code is like a raffle ticket so the more correct codes you have the more chances you have at winning. A wrong code isn't going to kill your chances but it does mean one less "ticket" in your pool to draw from. Keep posting codes! Wii want to wiin! (/lame)

I did this last year with the 360 and lucked out and won the 360 with 2 games. However, a buddy of mine was out of work and down on his luck, so I had the prize people send the 360 to him instead. He couldn't believe it and was so excited.

Maybe I can luck out again and win a Wii. :)I always like hearing stories about people doing something to brighten up a bad situation for others. If it's a true story (I'm going to go ahead and assume it is) you're a good friend to that guy, and I hope the good karma that you earned pays off.

Out of curiosity, have you picked up a 360 for yourself since then?

Just wait until you have all the codes and enter Monday morning. I read the official rules and this is the best way to do it.

No, I haven't picked myself up a 360 yet. Unfortunately the cheapass in me can't bring myself to spend that kind of money. However, my friend is enjoying his and I was happy to do something nice for him. I just wished he lived closer so I could go over and play it with him from time to time.

I dont understand this: "you can submit up to twelve (12) different codes in a single day’s entry."

I just typed them all in, and sent, and saw it pop up. Whats that mean?

Entered 4 times, one for each day with all 12 codes because they said you can't enter all at once but I guess people didn't have any problems with that!?GL and Thanks again and check out 1up.com as they have a wii contest as well which is a lot easier to do.

It acted like it let me enter all the codes at once... dunno if it really accepted all of them though.

11-27-2006, 02:58 PM

It won't let me enter all the codes at once. I've tried a days worth of code at a time but that only worked for one day. I think it's one days code a day. I guess I'll come back tomorrow to enter mroe.

I forgot about this and figured they already drew the winners. Guess not, now I got myself really anticipated, although I already have a Wii. I'd probably sell it to my friend.

Skelah

12-27-2006, 09:19 AM

Ive read that people are wondering if comedy central even secured the wii systems correctly .

If winners are never announced that was a nice lil scam they pulled.
Maybe the employees figured it was gonna sell as high as ps3s?

Vajra

12-27-2006, 01:55 PM

There are rumors of it being a scam on the internet EVERY year. I've seen people suggesting its a scam in 2004, 2005, and of course this year.

And as even posted in this thread, they did indeed get their 360 last year, just late.

I wouldn't expect to actually hear about the winners until February.

12-27-2006, 02:43 PM

I already forgot about this contest haha.... so they still havent announced winners yet or what? Was it actually on the 15th?

JohnnyDrama

12-27-2006, 02:49 PM

When it was time to enter in the words I completely forgot and only managed to put in the words for the first two days. Is it alright if you've entered the words for the first two days only, or does it have to be for all four?

in a thread about this contest over @ SD, two people are claiming to have received letters (via registered mail) over the past week, informing them that they were winners of a Wii and a Tom Tom thingie

Shenanigans on that one. They need to post scans of the letter.

You know how people like to brag. :roll:
