If the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 made fun of commercials, this would be a classic for them! I laughed the entire 2 minutes! asking myself, "what the hell is going on!"
I'll explain for those who are confused...They have to get your attention away from the game itself because they can only give you 3 seconds of actual game footage before it gets repetitive. So they'll show you a kangaroo playing the flute to hide the fact that the game bites ass. Go look at other atari game commercials and you'll see what I'm saying.
Hehe this commercial was a laugh riot. It's unforgettable. My brothers used to rip the game to pieces while arguing about how the bird monster was a Rodan ripoff.
@Floyd5642 yep, and not only that, there were a helluva lot less commercial breaks than we have now. These days we're flooded with commercial breaks every f'ing 10 minutes or so, freaking non-stop.
Yea... today this commercial would cause a boycott due to insinuating harm of a bird held against it's will in a cage not to mention improper egg handling and doing acid.
I watch it and keep thinking "Could this get any weirder?"
The answer is continuously "yes" up through the end.
😂😂😂😂😂
This is the best commercial I've ever seen in my life.
Thanks Vinny. What a wild ride.
The finest display of seizure-inducing, stream-of-consciousness editing I've ever seen.
Still one of the best videogame ad ever.
This reminds me of my last family reunion.
I thought this style of commercial was exclucive to the 90s. It started earlier than I thought.
incredible
Thank you Vinesauce Vinny
I've been looking for Vinny's reaction to this commercial for ages and can't seem to find it anywhere.
This was more of a trailer than a regular commercial. And VEEEERY trippy one at that.
And now it haunts my nightmares, next to the Atlantis Alien.
Yes, the thought of turning into a giant chicken lizard inspires me to buy this product. . .
The commercial we need.
"The graphics go beyond your wildest dreams." So they think we dream when were high,right?

1:41 how to you turn in angry birds:
October 2023 WTAF ?
Moments later...
Cops: We had reports of a disturbance, what happened here?
Bird Boy: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
William Dear was the director. He made a lot of classic commercials including Atari Pole Position

Thanks, Funhaus.
Wow... *adds to favorites*
I loved this game as a kid.
In the 80s, drug use was rampant in the advertising industry?
Perfect.

take my money
That's one of the oddest ads Ive ever seen....
Why is it so long?
yes!!!
Same thing happened to me when I played it, that's why I had to bury my 5200 and never speak of it again!
Did you eat the egg too?
This is why you should stay away from drugs, kids.
The ending is like a scene from a cheap horror flick
Just wonderin what point in that commercial they expected people at home to be like "Oh, Imma buy that shit, son!"
Thanks for this Yahoo News!
I bet that kid never expected all that shit to go down when he excitedly ran down the stairs to play Joust. He should have heeded that birds warning.
Him pretending to use the joystick is the funniest shit. I love it when he cocks it to the right of his head while spamming every direction.
This is back when you rather be in the commercial rather than play the video game itself
well, it did go beyond my wildest dreams, until bioshock came
Holy Shit video games from the 80's were SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!
LOL
"The Graphics go beyond your wildest dreams"
I love how comments just started coming in after 2 years.
Cool
This must be the directors cut.
whoa this some trippy shit right here..
"what you think breaking down my wall is cool, yeah using the ******* door is cool too" Dane Cook
This beats any "Gears of War" trailer.
Okay, play the game, turn into a bird, yeah gotta get me some of that.
Wtf did I just watch? What was Atari smoking?
I was on board until the egg part.
Ok, I won't be sleeping well tonight
1:39 Bird Up.
1:39 thats obviously a baloon
They used to have commercials that were this long?
HOLY SHIT!!! were they serious?? Someone was on acid when they created this commercial
1:43
bro what the fuck, how is that two minutes long it felt like two hours
It felt like it was going on FOREVER. Seriously, WTF?
Looks like somthing Terry Gilliam would make.
why did he turned himself to a bird at the end of the commercial? and its funny
Nightmare fuel...
Anyone know who directed this?
Yea... today this commercial would cause a boycott due to insinuating harm of a bird held against it's will in a cage not to mention improper egg handling and doing acid.
THE HORROR
Why does he stuff that egg in his mouth? Why does he turn into a chicken as a result? What the fuck is going on?
and zoomers says ads in the 90's were weird and cringe..
Is that Julian Lennon?
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
So this is what it's like to be on drugs.
Why?
is that 4D experience???
what the... i dont even...
i dont even
Damn... I thought the centipede commercial was wack, but this is hella fucked up!
well, that was..... wha.. What the frick?

What the fuck was that?
