He seems like a douche and an idiot. I hate people like that so I will never buy a product he advertises for.

That was slightly un-called for. You do know he is a fictional character just doing his job right?

If the fictional character is a douche and an idiot, and sony likes that image to be projected to their products, then all power to them.

TV ad campaigns and commersials don't sell many consoles anymore. They used to in the 90's when people only could watch TV but nowadyas everyone is on the internet and no one cares about TV.

Both Kevin Butler and Marcus PSP feels so '90s. Sony is just wasting money.

Wasting money on a very good PS3 campaign I might add. Marcus is beating a dead horse though.

No, I think the ads are fantastic.

Personally i don't find them funny, i showed them to my friends and they didn't get it. I still don't get them!

The whole point of adverts is to advertise something right? From what i can see these adverts are just bashing the competition.

Maybe it is because i am from UK but we don't have that here. The kind of way they are doing it would be considered desperate.

I understand they are motivational adverts, that much i do get.

Carlsberg do a similar thing, without taking a swipe at any of their competitiors. If your English you will find this the best motivational advert of all time. If your from US, i doubt your understand it to well.

But it shows you can do it without being an ass, and well KB is an ass based on the adverts i seen. About as funny as toilet humour, which isn't too funny.

It's funny you would think that way considering that only one Kevin Butler advert even elluded to Wii or Xbox in any way and that one wasn't even an aired commercial as far as I know.

But just for giggles, would you mind pointing out all the commercials that apparently bash on the competition aside from the PlayStation Move teaser advert?

This is the one i was talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0puP8nrIU8 .

But oh yeah sorry you said i was not allowed to mention that one because it doesn't count!......

As i said before i just don't get the humour of it. Like GOW3 one where there is a hot girl and he is playing the game. She say's everyone is ignoring her because of the game. And he ignores her. So the joke is the game is so good you won't talk to your gf? I am guessing a fair few of the people who found that funny have never even had a gf!

Like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq0chHj14jY&feature=channel. I just don't get it, a dog licks her face = hysterical? Is that what we have come to in gaming adverts?

Just because i don't find that funny doesn't mean i lack a sense of humour.....It just seems like toilet humour to me and that is not my thing. It is like WIll Farell films, they are funny maybe the 1st time you see them, but after he makes more they just get worse and worse until you end up with Land of the Lost. That is where the KB ads are right now for me :)
