Lots of people might actually agree with your second assertion anyway. There really is no accounting for taste.

Alas, you are correct. I suppose the best I can do is pompously assert they have bad taste. Kooks.

 

[Supermanisdead]

I hope Beyoncé does another commercial. I bought 3 copies of Rhythm Heaven thanks to her.

 

[Mistle]

I enjoyed it, not bad.

 

[sorijealut]

I enjoyed it, not bad.

pretty good, eh?

 

[Freezie KO]

Meh. Not as clever as it wants to be. Just call it "All I Want For Xmas Is Joel McHale".

 

[Agent Unknown]

lol This was great, more Nintendo marketing with McHale! Also made for a great new avatar. hehe

 

[saichi]

Justin Bieber/Mariah Carey did it better.

can't say one is better than the other but I like both!

 

[Bbaj]

Great commercial. Will wait for revision.

 

[soultron]

Saw this earlier today. Genius move on Nintendo's part. It's scary how unlike them it seems (women in bikinis in a Nintendo advert?) but it's almost scary how much I love it. This is on Kevin Butler-levels of awesome.

 

[Mr Touchdown]

That was awesome. The extreme close-up with whispering, the babes and the Toad costume... Just perfect.

 

[udivision]

Did... someone just use the word "racist" in a video with Mario?
Yes!

 

[Agent Unknown]

This is on Kevin Butler-levels of awesome.

Totally agree. I doubt it will happen but if they made some TV ads with McHale, the Butler promos would have a real run for their money. Hey NOA marketing, if any of you are reading this, how about some TV spots next year for Wii U featuring McHale?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I can't believe this is Nintendo.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Pink bikini was stupid hot.

 

[Croc]

Hahahah this actually got a good laugh out of me, more specifically when he got up in his face about Pearl Pink.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Really weird seeing this after watching The Greatest Movie Ever Sold last night.

Still kind of amusing, though a bit too long.

 

[Acrylic7]

Wasn't funny at all.

this

 

[Neiteio]

Ha! This was amazing! XD

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Pink bikini was stupid hot.

This.

I don't know what people find so funny in this because I don't find it funny at all, but it's nice to see a Nintendo comercial that appeals to the masses. And it's tone seems a little different from what Nintendo is used to, so I guess that's a good thing too.

 

[Neiteio]

Gotta love the humor critics on GAF. They must be huge hits at parties.

 

[axisofweevils]

So, when will McHale's Mii turn up in Gold pants?

 

[DragonSworne]

Should have just been Winger, babes, and Mario and luigi for 10 minutes.

3DS wat?!?

Great commercial, nailed it.

 

[DoubleTap]

thought it was great. i want to get a pink one now.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Good idea, offensively terrible execution.

 

[Conrad Link]

BUY NINTENDO 3DS NOW

I would really like a series of McHale Nintendo commercials, I love him.

Soup FTW, only reason I started watching Community when it started was because I knew he was in it..... turns out it becomes one of the funniest shows in forever also. Go figure.

I think Nintendo could do some good shit with him.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

The top YouTube comment got me.

"This video is streets ahead."

 

[lowrider007]

Can they really advertise the 3DS as having a camera "that can take pristine photos and video" ?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Is this guy the Nintendo's Kevin Butler?

Oh man, I sure hope so.

 

[Schnei871]

That was fucking hilarious! I'm still confused. Was that an actually commercial or not!?

 

[AceBandage]

That was fucking hilarious! I'm still confused. Was that an actually commercial or not!?

It was a not so viral, viral ad.

 

[phosphor112]

Eeermm... don't get me wrong. I love his character in the Community, but... this... was just annoying.

 

[rexor0717]

I need to listen to Jeff and get a 3DS. That was entertaining.

 

[JWong]

At least Ubisoft got rid of him.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Once again, Nintendo gets a c-list celebrity to do something everyone has already done 5 years after everyone did it and looks absolutely stupid in the process. And they wonder why nobody in the industry takes them seriously.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I thought it was great, shame to see some just hating on it ):

 

[Atomski]

I thought it was great, shame to see some just hating on it ):

Its not advertising for Sony, of course its going to get some hate.

Derp.

 

[Chiggs]

Ugh....

 

[Kurod]

I thought it was pretty "okay". I didn't crack a smile but I didn't have an urge to stop midway either unlike that Justin Bieber Christmas (also not a commercial) music video.

 

[Medalion]

It wasn't Jeff Winger, though the humor could be Community-esque, just plain ol Douchey Joel Mchale

He called it a DS3 on his Twitter by accident at first

 

[SirPenguin]

Really hilarious, though McHale is well on his way to being railroaded into always playing the same character. Not that I could picture him being anything else other than an out of touch arrogant dude.

 

[lenovox1]

Hmm. . .

It's better than racist squirrels and Marcus PSP, I'll give it that.

 

[phosphor112]

I thought it was great, shame to see some just hating on it ):

Maybe it's because I'm foreign and I don't get it much, but I just don't find it humorous.

This. Like I said before. His role in Community is funny but this... just wasn't o_o.

 

[whitehawk]

I just realized the model in black is Amanda from Survivor.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Hah. Actually a pretty clever little ad. I'm glad Nintendo's actually starting to embrace outside talent to sell systems, rather than selling it entirely on the merit of main franchises.

 

[Region-FreeWii]

Did... someone just use the word "racist" in a video with Mario?
Yes!

Is it weird the first thing I noticed was her biker's tan.

EDIT: ok maybe not the FIRST thing

 

[Trancetronic]

Well Nintendo has been doing the Pop Culture thing for awhile. Remember their Play it Loud campaign from the mid 90s? It was in your face, telling kids they can do whatever they want, etc

I always thought the Who Are You campaign was pretty awesome too.

 

[btkadams]

i hated it. it seems really similar to that "self-aware" viral ad with jennifer aniston for smartwater.

click here for the same video with jennifer aniston.

i love joel mchale though.

Damn you Winger!
