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.

Once again, you takse some C level trolling quips and attempt to unsuccessfully troll a company for no reason whatsoever, and look absolutely stupid in the process. And then you wonder why no one on this board takes you seriously.

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

*drools*

 

[Game-Biz]

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

Seriously. People need to lighten up.

 

[DR2K]

Really wish there were a chick with a white or a dark blue bikini.

Wait for the revision.

 

[Night_Trekker]

That was pretty cute. I didn't bust a gut or anything, but I like advertising that tries not to be offensive with its message.

And thankfully Nintendo's very brief slide back into Play It Loud territory, with the horrible Golden Sun: Dark Dawn ad, seems to be over. I'll take tons more of this over any more of that.

 

[GCX]

Edit: oops wrong thread

 

[Hours Left]

My only problem was that Joel didn't take his clothes off.

 

[Shaheed79]

"3D cameras that take pristine photos and videos"

Was he trolling right there?

 

[dragonlife]

I've always had a thing for Joel McHale since I first started watching The Soup years ago. Will check this out completely when I get the chance. I've only been able to watch snippets.

 

[ZombieTimeMachine]

Exactly my issue. He should always be shirtless.

4th page? GAF is slipping.

Shitty commercial.

2 nubs are better than 1.

 

[_Isaac]

I just wanted to say that the gray haired guy in the video is extraordinarily handsome.

 

[olimpia84]

The final scene where Mario and Luigi bump into each other leaving the building will make for a good "bail out" gif.

 

[legend166]

I like Joel McHale in pretty much anything so I'm a fan of this ad.

 

[DCharlie]

hmm - nope, pretty unfunny.

Beyonce would like a word with you

 

[zombie crimes]

Totally. Way hotter than Joel.

That aside, this video was practically GENIUS.
For those that love Community, the humour was spot on.

It was an effortless interplay between the show's metaphysical backdrop with Nintendo's culturally entrenched yet ethereal presence in pop culture.
HOT.

They should bring back clear.

 

[Thoraxes]

They should bring back clear.

Wait until they make the XL model...

 

[m.i.s.]

not funny. not clever. not original. batting 0.000

This is shit.

Wow, that was pathetic.

I can't believe this is Nintendo.

Ugh....

Shitty commercial.

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

You don't have to be a foreigner to see that this is a garbage campaign.

Just shows how desperate the 3DS situation [particularly software] is in the UK. If the 3DS was not backwardly compatible with DS, Nintendo would be in big trouble.

...And what the hell a commercial with an American actor, from a famous American tv comedy series, has to do with the UK situation of 3DS? Seriously.

Nintendo's handheld market, particularly software, is struggling in the West. Witness Resi Evil: Rev's abysmal performance as evidence. That game was being hyped like there was no tomorrow.

 

[NewFresh]

Why is this considered desperate, but MW3 getting the cast of 21 Jump Street to do a commercial was not?

You didn't answer his question at all....

UK does not equal the West.

We don't know numbers, aside from the fact that in US, first year, 3DS sold 9 millions software. Even excluding 3D Land, Zelda and MK, there's a lot of software sold, at least in US. But you even were happy for Revelations mediocre performance, who the hell I'm takling with...

@Truth101: Eeh, there are priorities in life, you know...

 

[jdforge]

I really liked this, made me laugh on a few occasions...

 

[MontTrain]

I love Community but that ad was boring (apart from the bikinis)

 

[Socreges]

I thought it was funny and Joel McHale normally annoys me.

Can't believe so many people hated it.

 

[VOOK]

 

[BGBW]

I was expecting Reggie to come in at the end, see the unconscious intern on the floor, bikini babes and two blokes dressed up as Mario and Luigi, simply ask "what's wrong with you?" and then do a 360 and walk out.

 

[m.i.s.]

Aargh! Brainstorm with the UK Pal charts, I meant in the West not exclusively in the UK (and edited post as such).

This is the biggest stretch of logic for an advertisement I have ever seen...

To not say that 3DS and desperate, right now, don't go together AT ALL in Western markets, at all...neither software.

Apparently "Not finding an advert funny" == "Nintendo being desperate". How can you not see the obvious correlation?

Thought I was the only one who recognized her at first.

Ignore it, having a brainstorm with the pal charts.

That'll teach me to have multiple windows open at once.

[ScOULaris]

I would vaginally DESTROY the model in the pink bikini.

I liked McHale's delivery in this, so I'm gonna give it my approval. This could have easily come off as cheap and embarrassing if it weren't for him going full-on Jeff Winger.
