Usually the joke or viral ad campaigns for games are pretty darn lame. There have been a few notable exceptions, but for the most part the ads fall flat on their face. Welcome to the next exception. These ads for Shaun White Skateboarding are pretty darn funny, and show off what will hopefully separate the game from the rest of the pack.

I've literally never been excited for a skateboarding game, and I don't think what I'm feeling towards Shaun White Skateboarding could be classified as excitement, but with its fresh take on the genre I am at least not as apathetic to it as other franchises out there.

Plus, people skating into a wall is funny.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I didn't find these even the slightest bit amusing

The commercials are good for sure but Skate still holds my heart.

Need a demo or something!

These commercials seem pretty lame to me. At the same time, they got their purpose across and made me both aware of this game, and made me interested. I just thought Shaun White was a snowboarder so I didn't even have any idea this would happen, and I'm liking the look of the game.
