Just in case you get this, Sophia in that "Sophia Says" advert is from the fighting game Battle Arena Toshinden. Great fighting game for the PS1, I'm told.
From what I remember, the advertisements for Earthbound really did actively hurt it's sales. I think part of the jist of it (that they don't really ever explain in the ads) was that the game came with a sheet of scratch-and-sniff smells that the game would tell you to use at certain points? Either way, that was still a pretty awful gimmick regardless.
True! It was like peebs mentioned one of those ads where I didn’t read the ads but looked at the screenshots and knew I wanted to play it but yeah even the strategy guide that came with the game even said “This players guide also stinks” 😂 what the hell, Nintendo!? 😂😂
There's a reason that Catherine ad was full spread. If you opened it with just Catherine's face, before it's opened, the fold cuts it in a uhh... certain kind of way. Man, that pizza looks good!
Is it though when the first paragraph text says "My friends tell me the graphics are the best... I don't know what that means but I know with the Atari 2600 they must be uptight and outta sight!"??😂😂 @@connorburton1009
Back in the day the Earthbound advertisements made the game out to be terrible and since it included the manual a lot of the local rental places didn't carry it. I loved RPGs but this one I avoided because of the marketing. It wasn't till years later that I got around to playing it.
So that Goemon one with the hot tub? Pretty sure it’s referencing the fate of the real life Goemon. Straight from Wikipedia: “Ishikawa Goemon (石川 五右衛門, Ishikawa Goemon, August 24, 1558 - October 8, 1594) was a legendary Japanese outlaw hero who stole gold and other valuables to give to the poor. He and his son were boiled alive in public after their failed assassination attempt on the Sengoku period warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi.” So that’s pretty morbid!!
what's even sadder is according to legend he held his son up as long as possible to try and prevent him being boiled, shows how powerful paternal instincts are (before folk comment, yes, we're aware the historical accuracy is in doubt but it's legendary for a reason)
I remember when I was kid, I got an issue of GameInformer and was super excited to read it. Then I saw an ad where a guy had a hand coming out of his stomach. I never asked for GameInformer ever again.
2:10 Actually the adjective "geil" can be used for "horny" but also "great" or "awesome". So as this is a sexy beach volleyball game (bandwagoning Dead or Alive Xtream Beach Volleyball) the designers wanted to be extra clever, I guess.
Yep, whilst today they try to guilt you into installing mobile games by showing women and children being abandoned and freezing to death because someone can't match three symbols 😅
That K. K. Slider one is so mystifying. He's not a rough and tmble bodybuilder. He's a cute doggo musician who's a total sweetheart. What were they thinking?
I love when editors of UA-cam videos essentially insert themselves into videos with text or responding to what the host says or something. Usually they're an unseen part of the video making process that most people don't think about. Makes the video more fun in my opinion.
The Earthbound one was an early attempt at "Smellovision". Which was a thing for a minute in the 90's. If you scratched the magazine on the little stink-men it smelled.
My bro and I played Croc when we were younger and we liked it more than Crash and Mario for a time. I think it was either a random thrift store or game stop purchase. I need to play it again to see if it’s as good as I remember. Can’t recall the story besides saving a bunch of creatures, but it’s honestly the memories made and time spent with my bro that made the game so amazing to me.
I remember that my father wouldn't buy me a gaming magazine with that Gex picture on the cover. I told him it's just a gaming magazine but he said it's nasty. I bought it the next day on my own.
You know, the crazy thing about the Goemon hot tub advertisement is that the historical Ishikawa Goemon was supposedly killed by being put into a vat of boiling oil. Anyway…
I think a lot of older video game ads were sexual was because it was before they thought about kids liking video games and the target audience was the adults
Weird how sexualized every ad was, especially since parents are often the ones buying consoles and games for their kids...hard to imagine they'd see these and be like hell yeah my kid can play this??? Wacky
It's sad to me that PBG called Goemon "this character." I specifically want him to play Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64. The game's got everything I think he'd like. Cute Japanese characters joking around, a wacky storyline, weird enemies, a haunting soundtrack, and strangely realistic-looking sushi and bowls of ramen, in which you can bathe and swim.
I always thought the huge pushback in the 90s by parents against letting their kids play any video games believing they were universally "too violent, corruptive, inappropriate, sinful, etc." was absolutely ludicrous but if these were the kind of advertisements they were seeing, no wonder their opinions on the medium as a whole were so skewed. It seems like the advertisers were trying to make everything as edgy as possible without considering the actual intended audience or genre of a lot of these games/consoles. The "hardcore" ads for the more cute & kid friendly games like Kirby and Animal Crossing especially baffle me.
Yep, advertising in the nineties was basically companies trying they're hardest to be edgy - they either tried to emasculate their audience or turn them on. Gross out and weird-for-the-sake-of-being-weird were other frequently used tactics.
I distinctly remember at least the colored tongues game boy pocket one (fun fact, I got a red game boy pocket with pokemon red for christmas not long before I saw that ad) and the rayman at the urinal one in magazines I read growing up. The weird, gross out magazine ad is truly a staple of the 90's and early 2000's. Makes me feel like I'm reading old PSM and gamepro magazines.
As someone who identifies as Aro/Ace, that comment about assuming everything is a sex reference if you don't understand it speaks to me on the deepest of levels, because that is what I have had to do all my life. 😂
Sofia was from the Battle Arena Toshinden series (I had a demo of the first one through PS Picks on PS1), it was one of the earliest 3D fighters, though I guess it was cutting edge for it's time, it didn't stand up to the likes of Tekken and Virtua Fighter. I seems like they were trying to make Sofia into a gaming icon on the level of Lara Croft, but clearly it didn't pan out.
I’m quite surprised that most of these ads were approved to either display at a local Blockbuster store or magazines parent look through for their kids’ game consoles.
Like 90% of these ads are weird and awful but i do miss the creativity in advertising-the most fun ads i can think of recently are those Legends Arceus ads that had puppets of the new Pokemon disrupting tv shows
25:58 I don't think that ad is a real ad from the 90s, but it was made for a sm64 7/29/1995 arg probably. I know because it was one of the videos I watched for it.
I do know for a fact a lot of the older ads for games were made by off site companies that never played or knew what the games were about, which is why a lot of them were....uh this. However I also don't know WHICH ads were made because many of these old 90s ads were also designed by the game companies too soooooo lol Honestly I would like to know wtf was up with many of these ads and the ideas behind them and WHY so many of them are sex jokes or just things not at all catered to kids or the people who would actually play them.
History is repeating itself with those godawful mobile ads. There's apparently only one advertising company that almost every game uses, who only have one advertising tactic, and it's basically misery porn: • Woman finds abandoned child and/or gets kicked out of their home • Woman and child go into a dilapidated house • Someone who's had several frontal lobotomies fails to do something simple • House breaks further • Woman and child start crying • Google Play store is forced open and crashes the app you were using, so you lose whatever progress/reward you had. I still remember an early version which actually depicted domestic violence in the ad. They used DV to promote a match-three mobile app... Any company that has the above as an advert is one that I will _never_ use - the ads show things that don't happen in the game, the story isn't anything like the ads and using children suffering to promote a game is just freaking amoral! The characters aren't real but it's still pretty scummy to depict a child suffering and likely freezing to death in order to sell something.
17:30 I remember Maplestory was my main one for years growing up. Hit level 8X as an assassin before I just suddenly stopped. Was killing Coolies (the zombie mob) and suddenly went "Why am I doing this? Been doing this for like 3 hours and only have 10% of an EXP bar" then never touched it again lol.
so fun fact about Goemon, hes based on an actual person that was killed via boiling oil. thus coining the term a "Goemon bath" .... so maybe the ad with him being in a hot tub was a reference to that..
Look up the print ads for Fear Effect 2. I went through some of my old video game magazines a few years back and found one of them. WOW, the times have changed since then.
Sega's "Nintendon't" campaign kicked off a miserable era of toxic masculinity and overt misogyny in American video game marketing that would cement gaming as the domain of teenage male console warriors. Games couldn't be perceived as cute or fun or having emotional depth, that would make their console look uncool. Every game, regardless of genre or artistic intent, needed to be recontexualised in the ads as something that could be spun on the playground as an example of why this console wasn't for babies.
The ad at 1:14 is even more hilarious when you find out that K. K. Slider is, in fact, the fursona of Animal Crossing's music composer Kazumi "K.K." Totaka
You guys are mad geniuses for posting these as a compilation foil for Peebs to react to. AVGN didnt do this but he probably wish he thought of this because this has "What Were They Thinking!?" written all over it. 10 out of 10.
The N-Gage Platinum Commercial was in French and roughly translates to the following. I can make out the bottom text, sorry. (At the top) Look for (research) partners of game (At the bottom) N-Gage Platinum Absolutely platinum. (Words in the red circle) Talk Play
Croc was supposed to be a 3D Yoshi game made by Argonaut after they finished up Star Fox 2. But Nintendo refused the pitch, so Argonaut was separated from Nintendo and they developed Croc as a 3D platformer for PSx and Saturn. It's alright, but it has tank controls. It's a 3D platformer with tank controls.
Goemon's great adventure was actually one of those wild, fun games I played when I was a kid but could not for the life of me remember the name of. I need to watch a longplay of it some time.
I'm honestly surprised how little of these I've actually seen. lol. I kinda miss how awful and ineffective these ads were. While modern ads are definitely better at selling their product, they're also boring and uninteresting.
I was told these would be weird, but I wasn't quite prepared for just how weird they'd be, LOL.
Which ad was the funniest to you? Thanks for watching!
Thanks PBG, happy upcoming holidays!
Just in case you get this, Sophia in that "Sophia Says" advert is from the fighting game Battle Arena Toshinden. Great fighting game for the PS1, I'm told.
This was great 😂
All the adult humor
I'm a mouse... Moo

They tried to make it a meme but it stunk
It was Master Belch's fault.
Must be one of the top-10 worst advertising campaigns of all time in that regard.
True! It was like peebs mentioned one of those ads where I didn’t read the ads but looked at the screenshots and knew I wanted to play it but yeah even the strategy guide that came with the game even said “This players guide also stinks” 😂 what the hell, Nintendo!? 😂😂
ive beaten the game and it doesnt mention them at all lmao
Nintendo in the 90’s: we dont allow any sexual content in our games
Also nintendo: puts it in every single ad
I think that is more of the fault of the American advertising companies that Nintendo contracted to advertise the game in America
@@gamerzan953 You'd think so, but some of these ads were running in Nintendo Power. So...
I believe Earthbound came with scratch and sniff cards originally. The British magazines were the most over the top.
There's a reason that Catherine ad was full spread. If you opened it with just Catherine's face, before it's opened, the fold cuts it in a uhh... certain kind of way.
Man, that pizza looks good!
Yes, that was very obvious, and hilarious.
They did that so they could put "full pin-up of Catherine" on the cover taglines
Becoming a peanut butter parent is the perfect time to start doing X rated videos that you can never show your children.
PBG: "Nobody cares about Crash Bandicoot"
Me: "I can hear Jim Caddick running to your door now Peebs, I'd hide if I were you"
I imagine it being him wearing those trousers and no shirt and all
Lol.😂
10:46 foreshadowed the live action
Adaption.😮
PBG: "Why are they always trying to make Kirby out to be a criminal?"
*Cue the clip of Kirby randomly firing a gun everywhere*
i will never get tired of peebs reacting to weird old ads.
The Stevie Wonder one is a fake, the original ad was about a synthesizer.
True. An easy mistake to make though. Far from the strangest ad in the video.
When he hosted SNL in the 80s, they did a fake Polaroid commercial with him in it.
Is it though when the first paragraph text says "My friends tell me the graphics are the best... I don't know what that means but I know with the Atari 2600 they must be uptight and outta sight!"??😂😂 @@connorburton1009
Always like how they use to use sex to
Sell a product.😂
Remember another gex one which was a t.v. dinner telling about the game.😂
Back in the day the Earthbound advertisements made the game out to be terrible and since it included the manual a lot of the local rental places didn't carry it.
I loved RPGs but this one I avoided because of the marketing. It wasn't till years later that I got around to playing it.
I think everyone has a problem when every single game's ads are indistinguishable from a Conker ad.
I remember an old klonoa ad that said "the only thing weirder than your sister"
There was a tamer one that showed klonoa hunting a bird.
I think if I saw these kinds of ads, I wouldn't have gotten into video games.
So that Goemon one with the hot tub? Pretty sure it’s referencing the fate of the real life Goemon.

I remember reading Gameinformer magazine I had a couple until the ones it showed how racist it became I'm glad it went out of business.
It's like a try not to get demonetized challenge reacting to a Toasty compilation.
Nothing like watching peebs freakout for 30 minutes
2:10
Actually the adjective "geil" can be used for "horny" but also "great" or "awesome". So as this is a sexy beach volleyball game (bandwagoning Dead or Alive Xtream Beach Volleyball) the designers wanted to be extra clever, I guess.
The earthbound stinky thing was because gross out humor was popular in the 90s
and it came with a scratch and sniff card too.
That Crash jumping through the window got me a little lol nice visual edit there :)
Most of these ads are just about bullying the customer into thinking a game was cool.
Pretty much or there’s a half naked chick
Yep, whilst today they try to guilt you into installing mobile games by showing women and children being abandoned and freezing to death because someone can't match three symbols 😅

My god peebs our 90's ads were horrible. ThNks buddy, tons of laughs and i remember a lot of these.
I remember playing Pokémon Dash and touching was not in fact good, it was extremely painful if you played it without a stylus.
You know, the crazy thing about the Goemon hot tub advertisement is that the historical Ishikawa Goemon was supposedly killed by being put into a vat of boiling oil.
Anyway…
I think a lot of older video game ads were sexual was because it was before they thought about kids liking video games and the target audience was the adults
Wrong. The target audience was young males, and young males think about sex a LOT.
The "John Romero's about to make you his bitch" ad was hilariously for Daikatana. The worst game of the 90's.
It also backfired something rotten!
The only thing worthwhile to come (heh) out of Daikatana was "Superfly's Johnson" by The Laziest Men On Mars.
Weird how sexualized every ad was, especially since parents are often the ones buying consoles and games for their kids...hard to imagine they'd see these and be like hell yeah my kid can play this??? Wacky
25:25 He missed the fact that that’s FRED DURST from LIMP BIZKIT!
I’m starting to think the impression of Kirby being a psychotic murderer was going on since the very beginning.
It's sad to me that PBG called Goemon "this character." I specifically want him to play Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64. The game's got everything I think he'd like.

Just so everyone knows the stevie wonder atari one is fake... it's an edit of an ad stevie did for a music synth

More fun than a ferret down your trousers? Clearly, this person has NEVER owned a ferret. Honestly, poor ferret.
25:46 Peebs: “This is Sonic with a gun!”

so fun fact about Goemon, hes based on an actual person that was killed via boiling oil. thus coining the term a "Goemon bath"
....
so maybe the ad with him being in a hot tub was a reference to that..
Bandicoot Crash-ing through the window ended me 💀
"Roast beef" used to be slang for English people (you might have heard the term "Beefeater"; that's another).
I've heard "beefeater" for like... guards, but not normal people.
Yeah it's a derogatory term the french use for us, which is why it had the french flag and the french sleeps with your women meme.

Well it wasn't for babies you shouldn't had one toxic masculinity overt misogyny smh.
I had a magazine with that Seaman ad! Peak 90's edgy grotesquery.
Some of these ads are the definition of wacky
The ad at 1:14 is even more hilarious when you find out that K. K. Slider is, in fact, the fursona of Animal Crossing's music composer Kazumi "K.K." Totaka
(19:00) The "NEC" in that context was likely meant to reference TurboGrafx 16.
Peak ads
