Someone here on KZbin and on Twitch did this already. Like, 13 or 14 times already. XD @Vinesauce

[@ritachil1000]

Well, I think we've all learned a valuable lesson,... Japan makes way better Zelda commercials than America ever could.

[@RWBYraikou888]

I _refuse_ to accept Pole Position as one of the worst commercials. It's fucking _amazing._

[@waterbullstudios9195]

I love the Standoff ad and it's outtakes. That old lady was going hard.

[@SaveDataTeam]

“What sound does a gun make?” “BAH!”

[@voidmatic]

17:05 FULLY thought he said "this is lesbian culture" and I deadass sat there nodding because yes, this does in fact look very lesbian-coded and it's iconic as hell

[@emdove]

Wait, it took reading your comment for me to notice it's not what he said, cause it's 100% accurate 😂

[@thusnameddigital9397]

This was the most hilarious cringe compilation I've ever seen, especially some of those PS3 commercials. And thank you for looking at my suggestion.

[@ratlegttv]

this was so much fun to watch live! i'm still pretty sure the sega and sony guys in the star fox commercial explored eachother's bodies...

[@SaveDataTeam]

😂 the cursed ship

[@TheTelepathicKid]

this fusion of retrospective/commentary/hang out really suits the chemistry of SDT well I feel. That’s also why stuff like the musical, flag and cereal tier lists are some of your best videos, despite not having anything to do with video games

[@SaveDataTeam]

This means the world to us, thank you!

[@genjis5155]

My favorite commercial here would have to be the old Super Smash Bros. N64 one, there's something really nostalgic about it. My least favorite is the NES "You cannot beat us." Commercial, the only one that's just kind of boring and not so bad it's good.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Yeah the OG smash commercial is iconic 🙌

[@whatisthis252]

Oh god Hey You! Pikachu. I played it enough that I got pretty damn proficient with making Pikachu do what I wanted... except. except for that goddamn beach pinata/watermelon minigame. FUCK that minigame. Fuck that thing. I could make the rest of the game sing for me but that goddamn minigame...

[@sanfransiscon]

That Jam Sessions ad hits so different after witnessing someone act like that IRL (and about twice their age too) 0_0

[@cosplayingchao]

I swear that Mighty No. 9 commercial sounds like they wanted to have Will Ferrell do the reading

[@KingKuron_]

38:36 OMG This commercial! I had one of those Pokémon TCG Learning-how-to-play VHS tapes and this was like run so many times on it for whatever reason!

[@SolMasterzzz]

Haven't started watching yet, but the Fire Emblem Blazing Sword commercial better be in there somewhere! That commerical is so hilariously stupid. Edit: Hell yeah! It was so funny when they added Dorcas to Fire Emblem Heroes and one of his lines was "I had some bad mutton earlier"

[@rollinnollin546]

17:44 We did have FF4, it’s just that we called it FF2, skipping over the real two and three. Then FF6 came out as FF3, because we also skipped 5, despite it being the best one (fight me)

[@sol_and_luna]

Why would I fight someone who's right?

[@ActionYakPolice]

the absolute worst ad is the Nintendo one that's just the Mr. Creosote sketch from Monty Python (huge guy who eats until he explodes) and I mean worst as in when it's included in compilations I cannot look at the screen or I'll barf

[@SaveDataTeam]

I nearly included it but couldn’t find a version in a decent enough resolution 😰

[@kodered59]

I'm surprised these reactions to bad game adverts aren't in their own playlist.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Do we have more than two? (Genuine question) 😅

[@kodered59]

@@SaveDataTeam isn't this one the fourth? I recall the magazine ads being split into two, and there is this one. And the one for that mobile gardening game.

[@SaveDataTeam]

Oh you’re right, I forgot we cut magazine ads in two!

[@Yuginami_VT]

"Daxter on PSP... id hit that" XD

[@isuckatgaming1873]

Dang, pole position ads go hard Ayooooooo WHAT HAPPENED TO DORCASS

[@SaveDataTeam]

What happened to Dorcas is 10/10 meme shit 😂

[@SonicBlueBlur9437]

It doesn't remind me of how popular the PS2 is or it make me want to join the community. It makes me feel like black friday and a high heel in Grandpa's head.

[@voidmatic]

18:08 tHATS JUST A BIRD !!! THAT'S ALL ! THAT WAS JUST A DAMN BIRD HELLO??

[@micahfrank7457]

Two words: Humble. Beginnings.

[@Mr.Colagaming]

If they tried to remake that star fox ad today they would be sued into oblivion

[@Caedynna]

Vexx soundtrack IS pretty good!! Soooo... When are y'all gonna play the game on stream? XD

[@StrawberryShorty]

The wrestling ad got cut off. O :

[@SaveDataTeam]

Yeahhh that part of the video got copyright claimed, so KZbin just cut it out for us to keep the video monetized 😓

[@Mr.Colagaming]

I still have a Dreamcast actually

[@SaveDataTeam]

The Dreamcast was great! I loved mine!

[@Mr.Colagaming]

@@SaveDataTeam Agreed I wish I had a tv that could play old consoles tho lol

[@thespaceofades2734]

1:09:13 The second he started slurping his drink, I got a different ad that started with someone also slurping a drink.
