Loved the ads. So funny.

Mr Puggsly: "Hehe, I said good profit. You said big profit. Frankly, not losing money is what I meant by good. Don't get hung up on semantics"

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

Not dumb in the traditional sense, but caused a lawsuit and ruined one of Sony's best marketing campaigns.

Self explanatory

Also, No Man Sky's entire campaign with all the promises they made prior to launch, it was sent out to die.
The PS3 and WiiU launch campaigns as well, they did a horrible job selling me something I should be hyped for. 

I can't believe this is real

Tell him that if all other vacuum cleaner worked without electricity and one only worked with it, that would have issues to sell. Now if it done the same without electricity but had a plus the others didn't when on electricity that would be a different thing. This morrow worked at MS?

I loved his ads, but wasn't aware of the lawsuit, do you have a link?

Anything involving Kevin Butler was atrocious, the man was walking talking cringe.

Wound up being settled out of court.

Oww I thought it was something else, this one i was aware. I thought that Kevin Buttler stopped being an add on Sony because their ads generated a lawsuit and I didn't remember anything that would get them this type of trouble, at most I remember he making fun of MS without saying their name.
