Stupid Game Commercials

NeonSamurai · 01-23-11, 09:25 AM

You know I have seen some pretty stupid commercials over my life so far, but this one has to be one of the stupidest yet

Buy this game... buy it because your mom HATES it

I know that is why I buy my games

lol I thought the same thing. I saw that commercial on TV and thought it was the dumbest I have seen. It's even a bit worse than all those stupid GameFly commercials with everyone throwing tantrums because they got a bad game.

Are you sure, 'dumbest' is the title you want to bestow upon the Dead Space commercial?

Haha... I stand corrected.. this was actually a game I enjoyed very much in my childhood but I have to say I'm glad I never saw the commercial because it DOESN'T sell it one bit.

Dumb, but still not as dumb as 'buy it 'cuz your mom hates it'.

Generally any game that can afford to air commercials is probably to dumb for me to be interested in anyways.

Exactly what I thought when I saw it.

I agree it's a pretty stupid commercial.

If they were going to do something with Dead Space and the PS logo, Kevin Butler should have been involved. As Kevin Butler is hilarious.

Also, In terms of stupid commercials, I personally hate the Gamestop "Power to the players" commercials.

Personally, I dont like horror games. I find them stupid, but you have to admit that this ad is funny.

Anyway, if the commercial made you think and talk about the game, then it is successful. Thats their mission.

Yeah, don't think their running any right now but they've run a few ad-campaigns in the last year or two.

Kaye T. Bai · 01-24-11, 01:05 AM

Why would they even make a commercial like this?

Ya that is yet another reason why I think its one of the stupidest ever. It also suggests they are marketing to an age group under the M rating. Which if they are, they are shooting themselves in the foot by making sure mom never buys this game for junior.
