I might go watch it on my TV



 "For Americans by Americans" That was funny and that's coming from an American, not the best by a long way but I like the humour! :)

First?

I saw a real xbox one commercial last week...

 

Heard it all before in a bazillion threads over the last week.  So yeah, not original and therefore not funny.

Thanks.



OP. Awful, its not even funny.

Kowen: Was that the COD Ghosts advert by any chance?



Liked it for the most parts, the ' overdoing it' is part of the commercial... it's a sense of humor not everyone possesses apparently.



Around the Network

I can read those same simple minded digs on any gaming forum without hearing an insane try-hard. Even its best line imho, "by Americans, for Americans" (ftw) is not original.

jokes get old.

especially when they are actually a cover for something else.

 

 

and no... you were talking about xbox users.

xboners

its clearly a dig.

whatever... carry on. 

 

I wanna address your thought about xboners first of, because you're fucking wrong here. Don't come and tell me what I meant and didn't mean; I know very well what I meant. I meant the actual box. The XboxOne - which people have gone on to shorten to Xbone. No one is using THAT term (xbone) for the actual xbox owners, I simply took that term one step further in this thread and added a R. I have NEVER used a term like "xbots" or "sonydrones" or what have you. Never. I'm actually pretty upset you're thinking I'd use a term like that.

And that vid is funny because it's true, although exaggerated. The best jokes (not that this video is THAT good that it could rank amongst those) is always a comment on something else.

Well you might want to revisit the term, having boner in there seems like an obvious dig. 

It was how it read to me, but I will give the benefit of the doubt... I'm sorry you are upset and I believe your intention wasnt to upset. 

I'm entitled to my opinion though and the vid is still not funny :p

like I said...

carry on.

it IS a dig - at the BOX. Not the users. Because it's a spoof thread.

I'll just repea myself here: "To each his own" - isn't that the expression? :P

Parts of it were funny, like the bit about the Cloud and not watching sports on your TV.

But most of it was just trying way too hard. I prefer the abridged announcement videos.

Haven't seen that one I think... Unless it's the one when they're saying "tv, tv.tv, sports, sports, TV, TV" all the time :P

That one was great too, but I was referring to this one:

I won't embed it because it's not really relevant to this thread.
