Those ads are f'ing fantastic. I love em. It's like a throwback to the ads of old. unabashedly, shamelessly uncool.

Best Wii ad I've ever seen.

I agree... i'm just glad they stopped wth the "Wii would like to play" ads. They were good but they ran too long.

Funny stuff...

Doh! I searchedand didn't find anything, probably because the title of that thread is MK instead of Mario Kart. :/

Whee! I loved it when video game commercials were over-the-top silly back in the old days. Like the commercial for Dr. Mario on Game Boy, that one was classic, if corny. Sure, that kind of commercial doesn't take itself seriously, but who cares? They're funny!

Wow! Those are possibly the best video game advertisements I've EVER SEEN, and I'm not kidding.

It worked for Chris Bosh. I think it'll work for Nintendo as well. For some reason people love southern car salesmen.

Let me go ahead and propose a line of thinking to those of you unfamiliar with the world.

That wasn't a "commercial like that" in that it wasn't a commercial like the ones you hear on the radio.

It was a parody of those commercials, and I guarntee you that no matter how many excuses you try and find to flame Nintendo and make them seem "stupid" that ad will sell Mario Kart Wii games. It's a casual ad. It's funny.
