Dear PlayStation. With games like the Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Horizon, Returnal, and Ghost of Tsushima out now, why aren’t you making commercials like this!
Yeah… I bought that Socom 4 with the PS Move bundle thanks to him… only to find out I wouldn’t like it but it was too late because GameStop wouldn’t take it back just a few hours after I bought it haha, I still have it still in the box with all the items still in their packaging bags
This is G-O-L-D, one of the best marketing from PS3 times, Sharpshooter, jokes to Kinect and more are my favourite. To bad PlayStation leave this kind of TV-Spot, Jerry Lambert made an hilarious character. ¡Thanks for uploading this, amazing work! :)

Really should have brought him back for PS4 or PS5 he really is a great person for adverts Oh 2.20 the best version of the PS3 store as well god I wish they didn't change it like they did it's slow as hell and it never gets any updates
Yeah, I loved the original store. Then in 2012 they updated it to load up like an actual PS3 game. It was a stark difference waiting 30 secs to get to the store as opposed to 2 secs lol. Then they carried that store over to PS4 and AT LEAST it was built into the OS like the original one on PS3.
We all know the legal stuff that happened with the actor and Sony and a Bridgestone commercial that featured Mario Kart but.... you are right, they should look past all that and bring him back for PS5. Imagine all the humor he could poke fun at today with people getting offended by anything and what not lol.
@@andrewsqual It's already past two years after Jerry Lambert and Sony settled in court. Although right now, he's doing some sort of TV show. It's just a shame how it all happened. All it took was a Bridgestone commercial and a Nintendo Wii.
I believe that they should bring this back to the PlayStation brand. Imagine what the PSVita could’ve accomplished, as well as the PS4. He was amazing!!
Well, the PS Vita could have accomplished so much more had they simply called it the PSP 2. But yeah, it would be mind blowing at the PS5 reveal if they got the actor back to usher in a new generation of gaming and marketing.

@@SkuzzBenson PS4 is currently the *4th* best-selling console of all time with 110.4 million units sold. The *actual* best-selling console of all time is the Playstation 2, which sold over 155 million units.
7 years ago I uploaded this video now. I sure wish it got a lot more views as I do believe its the only complete and longest KB compilation out there. I'm lucky it gets any views at all though being over 40 mins long.
@andrewsqual It's a nice nostalgia trip. I worked in selling this stuff for about seven years, so I was hearing this on the daily. Watching this reminded me of what we used to have & get excited for. You did a great job.
@otacon6566 Same here. I worked in Gamestop in Ireland for 7 years starting in 2007. I used to put a lot of these videos on the screen behind the counter, especially at midnight launches for games 😁
@andrewsqual I'm going to word it like this cause the internet is a dangerous place. I may OR may not have done that same thing, in the USA, in that same year & continued for about...7 years after that. So yes, this is what triggered those memories. Good times. 😀
In all honesty, it's not worth getting a PS3 now unless you plan on jailbreaking the system. Sony really shafted the ps3 over the years. They still haven't fixed the clock battery issue like they did with the PS4. Once that battery dies, the system won't read games due to the license not being verified.
Dude this guy is lit af, Really hope he's back in PS5. but one thing for certain tho, He Revived the PS's Reputation and that last bit is a excellent farewell to him and all the impact he did
"$299. Bernie you can't believe everything you read on the internet. Otherwise I'd be a Nigerian Millionaire by now." Lmao 🤣🤣🤣👌 Now I can understand why this ad wasn't fully distributed via commerical because of how close to home it hit people who fell victim to those Nigerian email scams. And I'd imagined the Nigerian government wasn't to keen on the whole pitch idea either.
I swear I've seen an alternate version where he says "you can't believe everything you read on the internet, that's how world war 2 started" but I might be imagining things.
I LOVED these commercials omg!!!... i legitimately looked specifically for this kind of video cos i needed the laugh... WHY are this kind of commercials not available anymore? hahahahahaha it's so much fun!!! withouth the "crystal filter" you know... love it!
Had to look for my favorite commercial for Marketing course and I couldn't help but think of Kevin Butler I would always look forward to seeing a new commercial from him on like G4 or Spike where id mostly see them aahhh good times. this man was a gift to PlayStation
Loved the Kevin Butler series (what got me to ditch X-Box in favor of PlayStation, something that I’ve stuck with with the PS4). That being said I don’t get the new PS4 motto “greatness awaits). Those new commercials wouldn’t drag me in like the “dear PlayStation” series. Sony needs to go back to these or at least brainstorm some new original concepts.
Yeah, when I worked in Gamestop in Ireland and had these ads playing on the TV behind the til, there was a coworker of mine that always died when Kevin says "When they told me they wanted the test cars back I said, muwhahahaha" 😁
I THINK it's just about everything he did. There was a Facebook Campaign that featured Kevin Butler with lots of new quotes by him but I only wanted to do the main TV ads. If only they could do something like this again not that PS4 needs the sales boost or anything lol. Pity Sony and the actor that played KB fell out with each other. :(
ishdeep grewal The actor of KB apparently did a Goodyear tire commercial that involved him playing Mario Kart. Sony claimed it was a breach of his contract or something and we haven't had any KB commercials since. :( Sorry, it's Bridgestone, here is a quick explanation ua-cam.com/video/y2cuAGdIu3U/v-deo.html
I love these classic PS commercials. Seeing these and the Twisted Metal "Shoot My Truck" advertisement makes me wish PS would put this much effort into ads again.
You mean the first ones? Me neither until I did this compilation. I though KB started when the PS3 Slim was coming and the price cut in late 2009. But apparently he was there in early 2009 doing trailers for MLB lol.
@NekoHibaCosplay That was altered quickly after the commercial csme out. In the new version, Kevin says "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet, that's how WW1 got started". I only realised when I put the compilation together that I had used the censored version 🙃
@@andrewsqual yes I know, I'm sad that Nigeria got frisky for a damn hilarious joke, but I think I understand why they changed it. I laughed at the new one too 🤣
Dear PlayStation, I got a tip that you're making the PS3 299$ Confirm or Deny. 299$, Burnie, you can't believe everything you read on the internet, otherwise I'd be an Nigerian millionaire by now. While 299$ for the sweetest Gaming Blu-Ray playing Movie downlading system in the world would be fantastic. No comment. But all that stuff says 299$. hmmm. Right behind you! Im sorry, you said something? IT ONLY DOES *GAMES* IT ONLY DOES *BLU-RAY* IT ONLY DOES *EVERYTHING* PS3 now 299$ Playstatioooon
I grew up with Nintendo and Xbox (Still am with a Series X and Switch) but by god do I love Kevin Butler and how he really did single handedly save PlayStation. Each one of these commercials, I was laughing, he's a comedic genius and I love him, also I love that last vid of him, showing that Sony was very self aware about the PS3s terrible launch. I recently got a PS2 (Unrelated) and I'm just fascinated with the power that was the PlayStation brand, did you know that more PS1s were sold between 2000 and 2006 than the GameCube and Xbox? Did you know the PS2 sold more than the DS, did you know that the PS4 sold well over twice as much as the Xbox One? And lastly, did you know that PlayStation is the only subsidiary of Sony that's making money, it's actually keeping Sony afloat right now. I'm in love with this brand, and while I still prefer Xbox over this, I love my PS2 and I love the massive success story that is PlayStation
Aye but that was part of the "Hall of Play" videos. It was a marketing strategy put up on Facebook, lots of KB gold in there but I only wanted to put up that content, if I knew 100% what it all contained. Its very hard to find out now a decade later.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the man who singlehandedly save PlayStation.
Damn right,bro. I remember I bought a psp because I couldn't afford a ps3 but then these commercials came out and this guy convinced me to save money and buy one.

"Yeah I'm gonna file this under not an issue."
That and “Scraps likes you” are my favorite lines😂😂😂

"That is definitely not an issue.
Just as long as she keeps her hands to herself."

"VP, First Person Shooter Relations."

Holy shit, the baseball player at 22:58 says "With a stick". You know an ad campaign is legendary when it references a previous classic ad.
And don't forget, KB then says "Well played Mauer" which was a callback to a different MLB ad too. :)

I agree dude. Sadly, I never own a PS3 but my cousin does. But, I still love there commercials. 😊
Bring butler back
The Gran Turismo 5 add will always be my favorite.
Yeah, when I worked in Gamestop in Ireland and had these ads playing on the TV behind the til, there was a coworker of mine that always died when Kevin says "When they told me they wanted the test cars back I said, muwhahahaha" 😁
@@andrewsqual Those commercials are really good. 😊
i am voluntarily watching 40 minutes of commercials
The MAG one is still one of my personal favorites.
R.I.P. PlayStation 3 2006-2017
Thanks for uploading this. Damn are these entertaining. I watch these frequently, thats advertising done right.
I THINK it's just about everything he did. There was a Facebook Campaign that featured Kevin Butler with lots of new quotes by him but I only wanted to do the main TV ads.
If only they could do something like this again not that PS4 needs the sales boost or anything lol.
Pity Sony and the actor that played KB fell out with each other. :(
andrewsqual they fell out?? I thought they made out and actor as long as he didn't do any other commercials well that's sad
ishdeep grewal The actor of KB apparently did a Goodyear tire commercial that involved him playing Mario Kart. Sony claimed it was a breach of his contract or something and we haven't had any KB commercials since. :(
Sorry, it's Bridgestone, here is a quick explanation ua-cam.com/video/y2cuAGdIu3U/v-deo.html
The good old days of Playstation.
This track is a part of you! Like an undersized jockstrap!
That hit too close to home.
I love these classic PS commercials. Seeing these and the Twisted Metal "Shoot My Truck" advertisement makes me wish PS would put this much effort into ads again.
The last vid, a Perfect round off ...
Sad this era of gaming is gone. Rather have it hated by society than society contaminating it
Agreed dude. I really miss that era.
Kevin Butler and Jack Trenton, best Sony has ever had!
Thanks for this I never seen these baseball commercials
You mean the first ones? Me neither until I did this compilation. I though KB started when the PS3 Slim was coming and the price cut in late 2009. But apparently he was there in early 2009 doing trailers for MLB lol.
Damn i used to watch these commercials during monday night raw
Love coming back and watching this
"You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Otherwise I'd be a Nigerian millionaire by now." was brilliant 🤣
@NekoHibaCosplay That was altered quickly after the commercial csme out. In the new version, Kevin says "You can't believe everything you read on the Internet, that's how WW1 got started".
I only realised when I put the compilation together that I had used the censored version 🙃
@@andrewsqual yes I know, I'm sad that Nigeria got frisky for a damn hilarious joke, but I think I understand why they changed it.
I laughed at the new one too 🤣
It’s 2021 and I searched for Kevin butler. Yeah, he’s that good.
“Two words: 👆Mon. ✌️Tage.” 🎶🎶🎶
THE FINAL VEDIO TOUCHED MY HEART
Dear PlayStation, I got a tip that you're making the PS3 299$ Confirm or Deny. 299$, Burnie, you can't believe everything you read on the internet, otherwise I'd be an Nigerian millionaire by now. While 299$ for the sweetest Gaming Blu-Ray playing Movie downlading system in the world would be fantastic. No comment. But all that stuff says 299$. hmmm. Right behind you! Im sorry, you said something?

"ooh, scraps likes you" will never not make me laugh
That’s my favorite 😂
Quite sad that they're not doing this thing on the ps4 or ps5
They just dont do commercials like this anymore
I really miss these commercials on my TV. It's sad that they stop doing it. :-(
Came for funny ads. Stayed for advice on how to emotionally assault someone.
I want an epic rap battle between him and Reggie
21:25 I for some reason love this clip
*_true legend_*
I grew up with Nintendo and Xbox (Still am with a Series X and Switch) but by god do I love Kevin Butler and how he really did single handedly save PlayStation. Each one of these commercials, I was laughing, he's a comedic genius and I love him, also I love that last vid of him, showing that Sony was very self aware about the PS3s terrible launch. I recently got a PS2 (Unrelated) and I'm just fascinated with the power that was the PlayStation brand, did you know that more PS1s were sold between 2000 and 2006 than the GameCube and Xbox? Did you know the PS2 sold more than the DS, did you know that the PS4 sold well over twice as much as the Xbox One? And lastly, did you know that PlayStation is the only subsidiary of Sony that's making money, it's actually keeping Sony afloat right now. I'm in love with this brand, and while I still prefer Xbox over this, I love my PS2 and I love the massive success story that is PlayStation
Two words: mon tage.
This guy sold soooo many PlayStations
This man has so much Charisma he could talk the Japanese into buying an Xbox.
Single handedly saved PlayStation
Love the GT5 commercial!
26:32 i lost it here XD
Bring back vp Kevin butler
That was great! And that's not all of his. There was one where he Did the Hammer dance. Need to find now.
Aye but that was part of the "Hall of Play" videos. It was a marketing strategy put up on Facebook, lots of KB gold in there but I only wanted to put up that content, if I knew 100% what it all contained. Its very hard to find out now a decade later.
@@andrewsqual no worries, it was 40 minutes well spent!
It’s unfortunate that Sony had to fire this man. Damn shame
28:55 As a mexican, I see this very stereotype, and I loved it
I like how some of the games had ps2 support in 09
