There was this ad that was posted once that was about this kid fucking his uncle for an SNES or some shit. I think it was fake. Does anyone else have it?

Love how the older commercials have that certain edge to them
Jace Miller
That's amazing. It's like no one in the 90s ever dreamed things would be the way they are now.

N64 had tons of wild ads made for it.

Wtf? Did someone at NoA just want to make a commercial out of their favorite Monty Python sketch?

I was on a mission trip with my church in Australia, and the first night I was there I was watching tv in our hotel room and this came on:

I was absolutely amazed by it. There was nothing to even indicate it was a video game ad until the very end. I was also amazed to see/hear "FUCKING" on local network television during prime time, in a video game commercial none the less. It's been about ten years since that trip and I've never forgotten it.

There used to be this shitty advertising notion, whose name I can't remember, where the idea was to make creepy / off-putting shit in an effort to "go viral" and get people to be disturbed or upset by the ad and end up talking about it and also the product as a side effect.
There was a name they coined for it, I can't for the life of me remember it and it's bothering me now.

I remember one really bizarre video game commercial when I was in high school, I believe it was a Nintendo commercial, and it kept showing these guys brag about how many hours they played certain games and then it showed close ups of their thumbs and they were covered in blisters and calluses and sores and shit and it was really gross. I've never been able to find it on Youtube or anything but I swear to God it exists.

I used to change the channel when that ad david lynch did for ps3 came on

HAH! I remember this one. Feeling like an old man here, but I miss when vidya had some fun with the adverts. These days it's the super serious, "it's alive" or "WE ARE GAMES" bullshit, and the games themselves are just cinematic footage to some slow tempo cover of a pop song from the mid 2000s. It's garbage.

I would love to see this happen in the U.S. in a commercial during half time at the Super Bowl. The entire country would come to a fucking END.

Sony/PlayStation will forever be the king of bizarre offsetting ads.
Grayson Clark
Comic book ads are weird.
Elijah Miller
Can you even imagine what the reaction would be like if an ad like that aired in the US?

Do video game companies even make tv commercials anymore? I cannot remember the last time I saw one. It's been years.
Robert Diaz
What gets me is how many of them have literally nothing to do with the product they're advertising. Like that one, there's not even any indication of what the hell PlayStation is. What's even stranger is that it's from 1999, way before social media and the concept of viral marketing was a thing, so it's not like that was the idea behind it.

The last video game I remember seeing a commercial for was Final Fantasy XV the night before it came out.
Angel Torres
The mind set of commercials sometimes is to convey the idea of the brand and let that idea sell the product over just listing features and showing the commercial itself. Remember Dreamcast's "It's thinking" spots? They used the idea of a living breathing gaming machine to convey power, variety, and connection...and I remember them to this day. Shit like that sticks. I actually wish more would try that direction over what we see today.

What the fuck Nintendo?
Austin Rodriguez
I remember the first time I ever saw that was when I was home alone, at my rural house with no lighting outside for miles, watching Adult Swim at 1AM. Shit creeped me out.
