Commercial Flashback: It's MADNESS! It's WILD! DYN-O-MITE!
Charles Sharam | 7:15 PM on 11.20.2008 8 comments


Marketing executives are coming up with stupid shit all the time. I could write an entry in this series every day for the next five years and still have a formidable stockpile of material to run on for ages to come. I don't ever expect any shortage of interesting commercials to prey upon in the game industry because a) people will never stop advertising their products, b) people will never stop trying to be original, and c) people will never stop being idiots. Let's take a look at the television ad for Super Mario Kart on the SNES:



There have been some pretty insane narrators throughout the past twenty years of game advertisements, but this man is the most XTREME that I've encountered thus far. He's completely out of his mind as if he's snorted a pound of cocaine up his asshole and woken up on Christmas morning to find a Lamborghini Gallardo parked in his driveway. Festooned in roses, a frilly red bow, and gold ribbons, of course. This guy talks so fucking fast that I have no idea what he's saying, thus I'll leave it up to you guys to interpret the sheer mania that is this commercial.

Till next time, take it easy, and don't forget to "make some room for the BIG BOYS!"

The levels look like the same to me. Super Mario KArt 64 is still my favorite game.

Umm seems like to me they were just copying monster truck commercials. Since every monster truck commercial has a guy just like this talking super fast with big words flying at the screen. And now that I think about it so does every furniture liquadation commercial...
