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, Atari's Mario Bros. commercial, and (dare I say it) the Legend of Zelda rap.
Last URL edited out because of the stupid screamer it contained. ~Ko

I love that potion commerical. I wonder what it tastes like...I wish the adverts over here in England were more like this. >_<
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 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.
They once did.Quote:

but this was back when all you need in rock was charisma, and no pretentious crap.
The song is White Rabbit, by Jefferson Airplane, man. Greatest song ever written, and probably the best Western game ad ever conceived.Quote:

Nintendo's "Hot Mario" series is wonderful:Then there's the unparalleled unintentional masterpiece of our time: "I 'ont fink a shpell ish gonna work on dish wun!"
- Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- Mario Hoops 3-on-3
- And the very best: Mario Kart DS. "Owhh, no, kamon!"
How about the first Crash Bandicoot? Or any of the Crash commercials:
YouTube - The 1st Crash Bandicoot Commercial
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Swimming Lessons (1998)
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Skydiving (1998)
YouTube - TV Spots - Crash Bandicoot Warped: Motorcycle Stunts (1998)
Not too bizzare but still odd enough to be funny-ish ^^
