I don't know if this goes in the Lounge or Gaming Discussion Forum. I guess I'll stick with the latter.

So what video game commercials do you find to be extremely weird?

Personally it'd have to be the original Smash Bros' commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvljN9ycqLg), Atari's Mario Bros. commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsZ-x_mfaYw), and (dare I say it) the Legend of Zelda rap.

Last URL edited out because of the stupid screamer it contained. ~Ko

The old Super Mario World 2 commercial that was banned from tv. It had this guy eating a ton of food with this big swollen belly. Then it went on to mention that sometimes it just takes a little bit before you have to much. The guy eats a fingerfull of sour cream and then he explodes. It was awesome.

This Final Fantasy X (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cqYUcRqFCA) commercial isn't really bizarre, but it's one of the greatest commercials of all time, so I can't rob you of this.

That Zelda one was pure ownage. Zelda, Link and a bunch of other random characters doing late 80/early 90's Japanese style 'cool' dancing is a-ok in my books.

Oh and the FFIV commercial scares me.

Square realised Chocobos don't actually exist - so they substituted them with the closest thing they could find - an Ostrich.

If they showed that commercial in the states FFX would've never been taken seriously.

Though the US lost odyssey commercial is a bit bizarre using LSD rock band known as White Rabbit from the 1960s in the commercial well the song.

YouTube - Lost Odyssey US Extended TV Advertisement Commercial (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3w1Ry4NbPcc)

but this was back when all you need in rock was charisma, and no pretentious crap.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dify0v2k6Tc). Because salarymen need to survive, too.

Nintendo's "Hot Mario" series is wonderful:
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqVvxs_gqbE)
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWpRRCw2OF0)
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdfjCkkdhk8)
And the very best: Mario Kart DS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_Jc757Xg14). "Owhh, no, kamon!"
Then there's the unparalleled unintentional masterpiece of our time: "I 'ont fink a shpell ish gonna work on dish wun (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5d0agRpuSo)!"

How about the first Crash Bandicoot? Or any of the Crash commercials:
YouTube - The 1st Crash Bandicoot Commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PCJ1lWMaSA)
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Swimming Lessons (1998) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF2ueOSmiio&feature=related)
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Skydiving (1998) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZAUH-9rbmI&feature=related)
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Motorcycle Stunts (1998) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfgKgkkpYA&feature=related)

Not too bizzare but still odd enough to be funny-ish ^^
