I don't think I've seen anything quite this bizarre.
All very work-safe. ;)

I personaly don't understand why they made that dancing shemale zelda commerical. It does nothing for me other the game. The best Zelda commericial is the N64 one.

lol yeah I liked that one as well... I still like the theater of the mind, for the saturn back in the day... I had a link to a site somewhere, that had it on it, but that was a kick ass commercial.

The GameCube price-change and Zelda Collector's Edition bundle commericals were great too. The ones with the scruffy guy in the red vest. My friends kept trying to say "they're making fun of Toys R Us" and I'm like "No! Toys R Us employees wear red SHIRTS not VESTS!!! And we would never hire anyone that retarded to work in the RZone...except maybe at Revere" But yeah, those were some silly commercials, especially when they guy was outside the store dressed like Link to promote the Zelda Collection bundle.

I like the new NBA 2k6 commercial. Shaq is in the supermarket produce section and someone "takes control" with the new control set up. Shaq proceeds to snatch the melon from the unsuspecting guy in front of him. He then boxes him out hard and... you'll see it

I ran across this wonderful little video a few years ago. x_x
It's unique i can say that. I do remember having to convince a girl that Link was played by a female.

Well, it was for a Link to the Past. The part that flashes by with the Triforce says "Super Famicom". I can't wait till I get to Japanese 4, because then I could understand what they are saying.

You can't forget the best video game commercial ever aired...

The old Pirate TV Sega ads when the Mega CD came out. Cyber Razor Cut and all that crazyness.

I've never seen that Japanese Zelda ad before and I think it was absolutely terrific. I'd love to have a recording of that tune. Come on, people, what's to complain about? Japanese rap, cross-dressing cosplay, sampled video game music? This is our culture!

I've been trying to find this site for the past few days but somehow lost the link. Thanks for the post! If I'm not mistaken, you can see a very young Seth Green playing Yar's Revenge at that site.

I guess its ok as long as its a female dressing up as a guy. I think we need not look further than the cosplay world for the horrors of men dressing as women.manfaye
Its still the silliest and wackiest commercial i have ever seen.
The best are still the Sega commercials from the early 90's...especially that "Sonic 2 Infomercial".
Wit and humor a memorable commercial does make.

Oh hell yes. His commercials are fucking gold.
1) Fat samurai man charges segata, flips him into a gorge where he nukes into a 50 foot high fireball"
2) Looks like he's about to swing at a pitch and then throws the bat away and KICKS the ball outta the park.
3) Takes down zombie after zombie and then is basically raped in the corner after too many respawn.
Great times!!

How about those Game Tap commericals? I liek the one with the Robo Sonic talking to Dr.Robotnik and wants a latte. Or how about "Las aventuras de PACMAN!"

I guess I'm too old school. I'm still partial to "Sega does what NintenDON'T" and "Call Dr. Mario... HE'S GOT THE CURE!" It's kind of fun going through my old tapes of MTV from the early 90's and dubbing off the old video game commercials. I've seen everything from Contra Force to F1 Race.
Anncr: "But who destroys the Gond?"
Boys: "LUTHER destroys the Gond!"
Luther (after destroying Gond): "Huhuhuhuh."

Most of the old Activision 2600 game ads (unlockable on Activision Anthology) are enjoyable too. Still havent been able to unlock the Freeway! commercial.

I liked the Dance Club commercial, and for some reason, the Fish commercial. It's just him cutting fish, putting down the knife, and spitting out his "Segata... Sanshiro"
And remeber, Segata Sanshiro died so that the world and the Dreamcast may live. Don't make his sacrifice in vain; go play your DC.

My fav commercial is the GC commercial where the bum is pushing his shopping cart full of video game stuff, he's got the jumper cables hooked up to someone's car and is trying to get them to rev up the engine etc-
" I wasn't always like this, I had pretty typical interests, ambitions. That was before I discovered.... Nintendo. I'm sure I could stop, if I really wanted to. But for now, I'm just living my life, one game at a time."
I have this one saved on my computer, and can't remember what the link to was.
Other then that, I really enjoy this site:
