Netflix has always had a knack for
turning heads with its unconventional marketing moves. At this year’s Fantastic
Fest, attendees found themselves in for a surprise that was as quirky as it was
memorable. The buzz started early, with people sharing stories of an unexpected
breakfast twist that quickly became the talk of both the event and social
media. As the mad marketing moves continue, what happens when your morning
coffee comes with a side of Netflix mischief?

The first reports of this unusual breakfast giveaway surfaced on Reddit, where users posted photos of Netflix handing out Pieces of Shit to festival attendees. More precisely, the streaming giant was handing out cereals in a packet that read, Pieces of Shit For Breakfast. This playful gesture instantly caught the attention of fans who had a few more jokes to add, but Netflix would be the one having the last laugh curtsy of its spectacular promotion of Happy Gilmore 2.

The online community was quick to
react, as this was a clever nod to a Netflix original, a
fun and ay to energize the crowd. While some wondered if this was a subtle promo for an upcoming movie, others correctly guessed that it hinted at the release of Happy Gilmore 2, which was due for release on July 25, 2025. This is not the first time Netflix
has surprised its audience with offbeat antics, but the Fantastic Fest
breakfast stunt stands out for its sheer unpredictability. 

As Netflix continues to blur the line between entertainment and real-life experience, fans are loving the fact that it has taken such a humorous approach for its promotion as they shower it with praises and a few jokes of their own on Reddit. 

Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2 promotional stunt has fans laughing out loud

 Back in September, Adam Sandler dropped a subtle hint about his character’s upcoming antics by featuring the iconic jersey. Fans of Sandler have been eagerly awaiting any news about the long-anticipated sequel. Keeping the same in mind,” fans’ joy under the Reddit post knew no bounds. However, the critics persevered as they wrote, “This movie is going to be shit.”, “This movie is just gonna be nothing but callbacks to the first movie isn’t it?” and “Always bothers me when a sequel is obsessed with a joke from the original. Just says there won’t be anything new to see.”

Regardless of the skepticism regarding the sequel, one thing all could agree on was that Netflix had outdone itself with the promotion, as a fan wrote,“This is a bit much but that was one of the best lines ever written in a comedy.” Fans who were Netflix critics also found themselves impressed as they wrote, “This is fantastic. I don’t say it often…but well done Netflix.” Other continued to make jokes along the same lines such as “You eat Pieces of Shit for breakfast???” The bottom line remained that the streaming giant was not just a genius when it came to crafting content but also while promoting it.
