1up hates ads too! Good for them!

Recommended Videos

Today, 1up released a new article in their series of “If we don’t make a new article vaguely related to gaming, we’re going to lose our freakin’ jobs!” articles. This one focuses on the truly abhorrent video game ads that have been spewed forth from such visionaries as John “Better Hair Than Nex” Romero, Pre-Halo Bungie and a ton of peripheral manufacturers.

Compared to these ads, the recent PS3 ads are truly works of art. Perhaps not good art, but at least they’re better than these wretched things …

Are there any ads that you absolutely hated that didn’t make the list? Let us know in the comments. As usual, double points if you include pictures of your hot sister.
