that was interesting
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
weird video game commercials for this
list we are counting down commercials
for video games or game consoles that
are weird strange or just unsettling
Frank what a bing bang that means play
dr. Mario on Gameboy or in yes number 10
do the math Atari Jaguar I triggered a
numbered what’s the best way to show
that your console has more processing
power according to Atari it’s to get in
your face and yell it Jaguar Jaguar yeah
do the math was Atari slogan for the
Jaguar which bragged about its 64-bit
system compared to the other 16 and
32-bit systems of the time the Atari
Jaguar is 64-bit which is more advanced
Clifford hmm in one commercial a group
of adults are in a classroom while a
teacher lectures them on how advanced
the Jaguar is she then screams at her
students to make sure they know what the
very best choice is
I guess that’s effective can you repeat
the question number nine the fat guy
Super Mario World to Yoshi’s Island
grabbed everything in the Super Mario
room to Yoshi’s Island when this game
came out Nintendo bragged about how much
content they crammed into the game to
give you a little sense of what they
meant we were greeted by a fat guy
chowing down on whatever food was in
reach mmm as he eats his stomach starts
to enlarge when he’s finally full the
announcer asks sure you don’t have
another little bonus level which
apparently proved to be too much and the
guy explodes and spews entrails
everywhere Monty Python style rated E
for Everyone kids
number eight we suck your eyeballs out
Sega Saturn is he designed the game No
execute in a futuristic setting this
commercial shows a man who is getting
ready to play the Sega Saturn at the
same time it shows another man getting
into a car which is then shown to be the
game the first man is gonna play when he
begins to play his eyeballs get sucked
out of his head so he can
I don’t know experience the realism of
the game
unfortunately for the racer he ends up
crashing it in a hospital where the
player comes to visit and whispers
anyone else hurts sega stock price these
days welcome to the real world sega
saturn number 7 family racing pole
position hey yeah you look like a real
jerk
well that was charming you certainly got
my attention now you’re gonna play ball
most viewers were probably too stunned
to change the channel at this point when
a hand then grabs this nice family’s car
and tosses the whole gang into formula 1
racers to drive around road warrior
style complete with explosions and a
cheesy song to go with it if only there
were real explosions and catchy music to
go with the racing game itself number 6
Kirby and the finger kirby canvas curse
Nintendo revolutionized portable gaming
when they released the DS which as you
probably know by now included a
touchscreen everyone wanted to
capitalize on this achievement and it
wasn’t long before kirby arrived on the
DS as well in the advertisement for
kirby canvas curse kirby is seen
spending his day with a large finger
they wake up they go on walk together
and they go for a swing
I guess this was a way to emphasize that
you use your finger to help Kirby on his
journey but others felt like it may have
represented some phallic imagery either
way it’s just weird now you can use your
finger to keep Kirby on the right path
to end out of camel number five zombie
breasts beating Resident Evil 4
what do dom bees and motherhood have in
common we really don’t know either
guess that’s a locals way of breaking
the ice in this French commercial for
Resident Evil 4 all you see is a naked
woman breastfeeding her child the camera
moves around them emphasizing a sense of
nurturing and caring and then it zooms
in on the mother’s face to show that
whoo she’s a zombie it could be an
allegory for life or death or something
but the message is definitely lost also
did anyone tell the marketing team that
there are no zombies in Resident Evil 4
evil number 4 Double Trouble Sega Saturn
I have arranged for you to meet my
companion so you’re at Sega headquarters
and you’ve got a dilemma do you go with
the scary talking head commercial or the
dancing Pauly Shore wannabe commercial
Sega’s next-generation gaming platform
revolutionary sports and arcade gameplay
apparently they couldn’t choose because
they went with both and the result is a
commercial that looks like two different
ads intercut with each other human dine
stands on the edge of the interactive
age you have come a long way weird and
disjointed though these individual
elements may seem parts of this ads
audio were remixed into a song for Sonic
Generations and remember
look for Sega Saturn number 3 link
dancing The Legend of Zelda a link to
the past the Zelda theme is the ultimate
adventurers soundtrack but who knew that
it could also be a song that we could
dance to as well this commercial for a
Link to the Past Zelda has once again
been captured by Ganon to rescue her
link starts pulling off some Michael
jackson-esque choreography with other
Zelda characters but II need a close
link then cuts down all the enemies and
rescue Zelda which they celebrate by
dancing some more years later this song
would reappear in a commercial for a
link between worlds but it hasn’t
exactly gotten better with age look at
the bits in the danzo number 2 you
cannot beat us Nintendo Entertainment
System there is nothing really wrong
with classic Nintendo characters telling
you why you should play their games
however when they’re robotic and look
like they want to kill you that might
turn a few people off in this 80s ad
characters from various games like the
dog from duck hunt or the original foul
sir tell you that no matter what you do
there’s no escape from Nintendo we can
make done oh yeah it was a commercial
that only aired in Australia and
considering the nightmare fuel that made
cause that’s a good thing
crikey those poor Aussies
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions see
that doesn’t show so don’t shoot we can
experience up here and everyone tame
it’s called mental Wilf
number one the crying baby doll Sony
Playstation 3 the ps3 was a widely
successful system but you wouldn’t know
it based off this disastrously bizarre
150 million dollar advertising campaign
a campaign which produced this little
gem we have seen some pretty disturbing
commercials on our list but this baby
doll takes the top spot for sheer
creeped out Factor the commercial starts
and all you see is the doll and a ps3
then the doll wakes up it starts to
laugh and its really all downhill from
there we know that this was trying to be
weird but maybe they succeeded a little
too hard do you agree with our list you
thought you knew how to play the game
