This is where you can post up about (Or post up links to) Bad or Wierd game related commercials, or just watch them and get wierded out. :P
I'll start it out with the Dr. Mario commercial:

"And then he shrunk my head"
Well, not My Head. LOL
Mods & Admin: I searched for a topic like this but could not find one, other then the "Xbox Funbox" one, wich did not seem to be intended to be one like this.

I hope someone can find a good copy of the Intellivision Burgertime commercial. I can't find one.
That commercial was insane.

The "Sega Channel" ads of around 1993 were bloody classic. :D A load of weird nutters yelling incomprehensibly about the latest Mega Drive releases (I think it was UK-only, might be wrong there) followed by them screaming "To be this good takes Sega!!!!!" to finish off. Smashing! :D

This should be interesting.
They have these one commercials for something or another starring squirrels talking about video games. They're animated squirrels, but their voice pisses me off!
Besides that, they're just stupid.
I could be a better commercial then that...
It would start out with squirrels on jetpacks, streaming through the galaxy, shooting at strange polygons, with the words Star Fox beneath it, then it'd have them shooting at squirrel zombies, with the words Resident Evil at the bottom. Then, for the new King Kong game, it'd have a huge Squirrel being shot at.
Surprisingly, I'm convinved that would be better then those two talking squirrels.
I did a search on squirrel game commercials, and came up with an interesting one:

Every system wide XBox360 commercial ever made fits into one category or the other...

I seem to remember the commercial for the NES Zelda that had some guy in a black sweater yelling like some weird performance art thing...that was a weird one.

The Game Boy-bashing ones from Sega.
"THE GAME BOY SUCKS CUZ IT HAS NO COLOR LOL"
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The Game Gear may have LOOKED nice, but there isn't a game around that would warrant owning that monster. It used a jillion batteries, it was heavy as hell, you practically had to carry it in a violin case, and it sucked up so much juice that 12 of running at once on AC adapters would make Las Vegas go dark.
And don't get me STARTED on the "music" in Game Gear games. Just...don't.
I had a Game Gear, so I'd experienced all this horror firsthand . That's I hated-and still hate-those ads. Grrrr.

Can I mention the extended Nintendo "Give the World a Wedgie" commercial, from the Play It Loud era, again? Sometimes it feels like they aired that commercial exactly once, and I'm the only one who saw it.
