I think the Yoshi's island ad was a reference to a sequence from Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life". I'm not sure why they'd reference an adult surrealist comedy film when advertising a game meant for children, but... they did.
I remember the Yoshi ad! While it did gross me out, it would actually scare my little brother, and he would have to leave the room every time it would come on.
my favorite nintendo ad is the smash bros 64 live action one where people dressed up as nintendo characters beat up each other. I remember seeing that as a kid and begging for smash for my bday.
S.R. Hunt It just scares me. The song "We are Nintendo" creepies me really much though. Still NES has got great nostalgic commercial, but absolutely not that one in my opinion.
The strangest ad to promote a Smash game. But I also loved the one for Smash 4 where this muscle man turns into Donkey Kong because he didn't want to lend his seat to a girl in a bus, so then she beats him in Smash Bros. and sits on his seat.
6:19 And that's why Fire emblem nearly went the way of Metroid and F-Zero. As for the one with the GB micro, there was one for the Pocket where A guy ignores his rather provocatively dressed wife/Girlfriend clearly coming on to him... Nintendo was weird
There was a similar ad to that second one that got pulled from magazines - a woman tied to a bed, looking irritated, because her guy is sitting in a chair nearby playing Game Boy(?) instead. Some pearl-clutchers assumed she had been forced into something non-consentual, rather than the obvious situation of her boyfriend/husband taking advantage of her kink to keep her away while he played video games.
JWittz I think you might be slightly abusing the term "millennial". All that means is someone who spent a good portion of their childhood around and after the start of the new millennium. Which means that A. Those people on the roof look like they could be in their early 30s, so, not millennials. And B. Luigi's Mansion came out in like what 2002? Which means that at the time that commercial aired most millennials would have been be somewhere around the ballpark age of 12 or so......so not those two red couch people who are clearly somewhere in their 20s at least.
+Davanthall I've usually seen it as "born from the 1980's-2000", but it's pretty subjective. You could pretty easily be early 20's in 2002 or late 20's today with that date range en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
It was originally used to describe people who came of age in the year 2000... so people who were 18-21 in that year, which would be ~34-37 year olds now
That commercial was a rip-off of the restaurant scene from Monty Python: The Meaning Of Life! A skit featuring the fattest and unhealthiest man imaginable eating everything until he swells up like a balloon and explodes! That skit was super disgusting, and the fishes reaction to it pretty much summed up the audiences reactions as well. So for that skit to be translated to a Nintendo commercial for an E rated game, is just plain wrong on so many levels!
I saw something arguably worse than that once around christmas, was already a teen or older then though, but there's literally a commercial out there with hershey jingle bell balls or something super weird and gross. :p My family just laughed. XD
There needs to be a sequel to this video. I can think of at least five more commercials that could have been included. Super Smash Bros (n64), conker’s bad fur day, Super Mario Land (GB), Paper Mario, heck the Pokémon link cable commercial would have been fine too
How could you leave out the commercial for Golden Sun? It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the game. It features a conductor (wizard?) fighting a bunch of demons at a symphony, and then the chandelier becomes a dragon Fun fact. That dragon Chandelier becomes a summon in Golden Sun Dark Dawn. Probably the best thing that game did.
victikirby15 There's actually one where some kid gets rushed to the ER because he's expanded like a balloon from playing "too much Kirby". Let's just be glad this kind of thing never happens in real life...
My favorite crazy Nintendo commercials game around the time of the N64. I particularly remember a set of commercials where the camera is focused on just this kid who's getting lectured by his dad, usually about how important family is, and so on. The twist comes when the camera rotates around to reveal that the kid's dad and presumably grandpa, are either dressed up like women, or as a cowboy and horse. And maybe they said something about "don't tell your mother, and we'll buy you a Nintendo." I need to see if I can find it on UA-cam again. XD
Does anybody remember a Pokemon commercial where like a bunch of Pokemon were standing around and then they all got sucked up into an animated vacuum cleaner? I remember it so clearly from when I was a kid but can't find it anywhere.
+HCL Productions haha you can only tell because the first man says "what happened to Dorcas?" I like the fan theory that the producers picked the name out of a hat full of FE characters.
When J said that the Nintendo 64 commercial wasn't for a Nintendo first part game, I immediately yelled, "It's Battletanks, isn't it?" Predicting correctly feels so good.
I remember most of these. But I love how the Yoshi's Island ad rips off that Monty Python sketch, down to the tiny last morsel being "the snack that burst the man's stomach."
I saw most of these ads as a kid but had long since forgotten about them. When I started seeing them here the memories all came flooding back. I remember that Pokemon Red and Blue ad in particular from some Pokemon VHS movies.
But the exploding man commercial kinda makes sense. This was the era of Ren and Stimpy and AHH! Real monsters. Those were pretty gross shows, but I loved them so much!
I remember that pokemon commercial. The guy who drove out school bus actually looked a lot like the bus driver in the commercial, and I was terrified to ride the bus for weeks after that.
GameAndWatcher96 ...Kirby was longer cheerful after the Pinball Land Advertisement. Kirby now faces the world with Rage! Thank gosh EarthBound & Kirby at least revive themselves afterwards. 😊
"While I can't say for sure that these ads worked, I can definitely say they left me with something I'll never forget." Trauma. Also, the guy exploding in the Yoshi's Island commercial is a reference to Mr. Creosote from Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
I think I can say I'm officially disturbed by these commercials, or my brain can't process what I just watched. The first few were just strange beyond belief, even though I remember the Pokémon commercial very much. Makes you wonder what kind of thing the switch will have for commercials (for the love of god don't make Splatoon 2 be weird and uncomfortable)
Chestbumphero Same. I wonder if either Mother 3 (if they are planning to release it) or Splatoon 2 will have the same treatment... *Shivers* Oh gosh, we won't want for that to happen! Lucas & Inklings, save us!!!
