I recall there being a favorite video game commercials thread on the boards before the Great Outage, and I figured it was time to start a new one.

A few of my faves include:

Sheesh... even in Japan-- and France, the U.S., and Italy, apparently-- Luigi gets absolutely no respect.

Pikachu didn't get beat down nearly enough in this one.

I did the "ear-puppet" thing to my best friend a few times after I saw this commercial.

Then he gave me the mother of all Indian burns, and that was the end of that.

A true classic

Razor, you just need to post the long youtube link and it'll automatically embed. I'll fix your post for you.

Thanks I'm so used to using the old embed code.

My thread lives again! I'll have to post a few when I'm off work in a couple hours.

Errr... was I not doing it right, either?

I ask this because you placed the editor's note on my post.

You're good. Just adding it as a heads-up since it's the first post.

Here they come!

Segata Sanshiro was epic.

Pole Position is one of my favs. And it looks like Lucas ripped off the commercial at 1:16 doesnt it? If I didnt know better I'd bet money that was a clip from a podrace scene in Ep.1.

I like the Pitfall one with Jack Black in it too:

Hey now!

Thought I'd dredge this thread up from the depths, because, hey, why not?

I really dug the Mario & Sonic at the (2008) Olympic Games interview commercials where Sonic's trollin':

You makin' me koo-koo-crazy, Sonic!

What else would you expect of me.

32X Infomercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRiNm0yQAPM&playnext=1&list=PLDA5480C9A88CF1E2&feature=results_video

^ I like how the Genesis, Sega CD and the 32X aren't even hooked up in the commercial. Looks like Sega didn't want to show the clusterfuck of wires that it took to connect that monstrosity together.

Also, remember 1-900 numbers?  $32 plus tax PER CALL!!!!!!!!!

A little fave from my main man, Wario:

This one always weirded me out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99iiUtPR-fM

Rich creamy 3-D graphics made me laugh. Everything else scared me. It's a commercial to brainwash us.

I like Sega Saturn's monster torque ;)

I love the SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY monster truck announcer thing going on in this.

I'm scared shitless now, better than any slasher movie.

No! Stay away from me! I don't want to be a skitsofrantic!

Damn Sega's US marketing campaign for the Saturn was so weird... No wonder the system failed here, nobody knew what the hell they were buying!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9BiM7nGLRE
WTF DID THEY DO TO HIS EYES?

What is the deal with the baby? I know its supposed to be a derogatory metaphor for the Playstation, but saying your system is better without an actual comparison or awesome tagline like the Genesis days?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ncjKa1lOY
1997, too little too late. Baby Playstation grew up and beat the crap out of big Daddy Sega.

Now what's weird about the Saturn is that it was the first Sega system that was the undisputed king in Japan during its lifecycle, outselling both the Playstation and Nintendo 64 after they were released week after week. Why is that? Sega Japan's Saturn marketing was GENIUS.

Nice compilation sirpsycho.

Sega always had a very strange way of advertising, but I love to reminisce their ads because their so... weird.

No. I still don't have a Sega CD.

Are these commercials helping or hurting the Wii U's chances?

They seem kind of semi-impressed  but not exactly raving about it lol. I have the feeling they were like "how much do we get paid?" before they came in the room :P.

Yup.  They almost definitely got to take one home.
