Below are The Don’s Top 10 Lamest Video Game Commercials ever and if you disagree with this list, that’s because you actually liked at least one of the commercials and therefore you are lame too.

10.  Jaguar 64

Remember when how many Bits a system held was such a big deal? Me neither, I have such selective memory and I try to forget crap like this along with the fact that my blood pressure tripled just watching this woman flip out. This is a prime example of genius marketing at it’s finest……….

9. King of Fighters?

I’m guessing this is King of Fighters…and is it me or do the characters seem to be a direct rip-off from Street Fighter II?….I mean the first Street Fighter II. And the guy in the white suit looks like he had his head shrunk by that poppa shango guy in Beetlejuice….bah..

8. Metal gear Solid 2: Substance

I’m guessing this is Cubicle snake, all this commercial needed was a scene of this slave worker looking up some broads skirt for some much needed motivation. I didn’t even know this game was on the XBOX, shows how absent I was last gen…oh well..

7.  Mike Tyson’s Punch Out

Was that even the real Mike Tyson? No wonder he had to smile in the shade, he’s got a smile that only a grandma could love and what’s with the 20 TV sets stacked on top of each other to make one big screen with bars through it? Boy do I miss the 80’s marketing schemes.

6.  Atari 2600

This is truly some cutting edge stuff right here, what gaming console currently has a program where you can manage your finances? I’ll help you out with that one….NONE!….NONE, I tell you. The Atari 2600 was a monster in it’s day and extra lame after about 25 years later! I’m going to my nearest pawn shop to scoop one of these up right now….

5.  Nintendo Entertainment System Bundle

Comes with R.O.B., Zapper…umm wait…Rob? Another epic fail by Nintendo back in the 80’s and all of those gadgets may look lame today, but in the 80’s all that stuff was the cats pajamas…..with no shirt on! (no homo)

4.  Nintendo Power Pad

Apparently your typical game room looked like the original set of American Gladiators back in 1980-something. These kids shouldn’t be playing games, they are obviously a couple of track stars and only lazy people play games. Period.

3.  Nintendo Game Genie

Even Bill and Ted need to cheat to play these incredibly hard games that came out on the NES back in the 80’s. I was never lucky enough to buy into the gimmick that I could cheat at whatever game, I was too busy quitting and letting my friends beat them. Yup I suck at life…next.

2.  Nintendo Power Glove

Tom Cruise eat your heart out, Minority Report has nothing  on the Nintendo Power Glove! And what’s with the 80’s and denim jackets? I’m shocked his collar isn’t popped and don’t forget how lame that Power Glove was, don’t remind me…I’m not even sure how he got it to work that good in the commercial, I’m assuming it wasn’t actually hooked up.

1.  Legend of Zelda

Looks like we have rare footage of Angry Video Game Nerd back in his gaming prime, plus his rapping skills probably provided him a nifty side hobby when he wasn’t beating Super Mario Bros. 2 within a half hour  while cramming down teeter tots. A definite classic game with probably the lamest commercial to boot.

*Honorable Mention

Sony

Well, this isn’t exactly a game commercial and it never really existed. It was in some movie and if you can name that movie, you get two whole brownie points from The Don…and remembe “Sony, because caucaisians are just too damn tall”. I really wish this one existed, but I couldn’t do this without having it on the list.

And there we have it, the top 10 lamest videogame commercials ever and I dare you to take the Pepsi Challenge to my list because….you can’t!
