An old Xbox advertisement

24 comments

I find these ads equally fascinating and cringe. Edgy male teenager humor to the max, though that was the prime demographic they were marketing to.
Bonus weird ad with the PS1 being used to open beer bottles:
- Those beer bottles must be tiny
  
  I think you're confusing the PS1 in the ad with the PSOne which came out later and had rounded edges.
- This one’s my favorite.

If we're talking about weird video game ads, I want to give a shoutout to PS3's baby ad
- Also shout out to the Xbox birth to death ad

  The Chris Cunningham mental wealth PS2 ad

  And Sony advertising the PlayStation 9 instead of the PlayStation 2

- Don't forget Segata Sanshiro sacrificing himself to save the world.
  
  SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGATA SANSHIROOO! SEGA SATURRRRRN SHIROOOOOOO!!!
  
  Sorry, what were we talking about again?
Oh shit, were we supposed to be fucking our Xboxes this whole time? Is that how you get more games? <unziiiips>
- Achievement unlocked: 18-year mandatory Xbox live subscription
- It's how I got the red ring of death.
- That's why it was so thicc
This is very... upsetting.
Meanwhile, the Dreamcast with its controller cord actually coming off the bottom should maybe take a paternity test.

Also, do look out for Tao Feng, but not for the reason the ad says.
So who’s the Dad?
- Yes.
