For those who do not know, the commercial was a parody of the actual Intellivision commercials with George Plimpton where Mattel showed how much better its games looked compared to Atari's. Of course, I don't ever remember George using the word "sucked."

The ad competition even got to the point when, after Atari gained the rights to ET, Mattell hired the boy lead actor to star in a commercial with Plimpton for Intellivision space games.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
