I don't think those are that bad tbh. You have to admit for a child presence he's pretty good.

I don't think he's "pretty good" at all, they both come across as horribly annoying tryhards to me.

Kevin Butler? You don't like Kevin Butler?

Nah, always thought he came off as a smug, arrogant jerk, but that's just me.

Truth. He was widely beloved.

Some really nice choices here. The Daikatana print ad is the my pick for worst. I rather liked the SNES Zelda ad, and love the PS3 Baby. They should bring it back. Maybe write a story about how it escaped containment, and killed Kevin Butler and his family. It would explain both why it's returned, as well as Kevin Butler's absence.

"PSP: I have a family to feed."

That video is hilarious! I even kind of remember the original ad it's making fun of.

My favorite console of all time had this

That video threw me for a loop, and then it just became awesomely funny. There is a huge contrast between between the bald talking head and the other guy in the red hat. It feels like two different commercials spliced together.

I really have no idea what the point of this one is, but the PS2 was so successful that maybe they didn't care.

This was the time where the PS2 entered the Black Lodge

I've never watched Twin Peaks. Would it have made more sense if I watched Twin Peaks?

I normally love Kevin Butler, but for some reason he just doesn't work in that ad. It's like Marcus makes him seem lame somehow.

Speaking of terrible...

Were they trying to sell the games or traumatize the viewer?

Yeah, that's nightmare inducing, especially if you were a kid.

I think it's why Australia doesn't like Nintendo as much. XD

How about this?
