[@Vitorio582]

I hope this gets a part 2. I need to see Vinny's reaction to the Rayman 3 print ad

[@carlosemilio5180]

Shlongman

[@NatetheNerdy]

Looked it up, that's quite the ad

[@jcat9628]

I think he saw that one before, could be wrong.

[@hecticscone]

love your pfp

[@fauxdude9756]

28:18 the whiplash from these two ads right next to each other nearly broke my fucking neck when i saw it live

[@Guile21]

26:51 the timing of the music cue was so good!

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

_"Game Boy. More fun than a ferret down your trousers."_ Welp, this 90s ad definitely has the "Wanna Play Smash?" energy. The innuendo is stronger with this one.

[@ShyGuyXXL]

I love how the entire chat was like "LIMES NO" 🤣

[@DIVECRAFTVODS]

😂😂😂

[@LocksAndChains]

The thumbnail image of that ad broke me for a good 30 seconds. Ensured that I'd click.

[@ButtonMasherReal]

I refuse to believe that the Game Boy could possibly be more entertaining than ferret-legging.

[@KaiserMazoku]

Game ads from the 90's were from another planet.

[@nintonintendo1]

I'd say early 2000s also did an incredible job. Have you ever seen the rayman 3 one?

[@KaiserMazoku]

@@nintonintendo1 The one with his massive hog? Yeah.

[@lucascoval828]

90s to the 2000s ads were the best. Even the cringe ones. It felt like there was a charming immaturity to the games industry at the time. Should've stayed that way.

[@lucascoval828]

​@@nintonintendo1😎😎😎

[@VinchVolt]

I admire the audacity of Nintendo quoting God Himself for a video game ad.

[@blobbem]

Video game magazine ads are on another level compared to the televised stuff, if you can believe it. Some absolutely insane stuff, some of which would not fly by today's standards.

[@SpaceSkeletonDragon]

The pussification of mankind continues unabated.

[@hollenhammer]

It didn't back then, either

[@michaelfingers7726]

@@hollenhammer oh please. This is the era where Cuties was praised as feminist media. The only thing that has changed is we've gotten even fucking dumber about attacking fantasy while ignoring real life problems.

[@DS-ib8ih]

and if you can believe it, it’s a friday once again!

[@blobbem]

@@hollenhammer Ignoring the schizo who earlier commented, standards _were_ different back then. The mere fact that blatantly misogynistic adverts back then were _allowed_ to be printed in the first place goes to show the shift in standards when compared to today. You'd be hard-pressed to find a gaming magazine or other form of publication that would allow some of these adverts to be printed today.

[@ElPsychoDog]

26:52 The timing with some of the background music is IMPECCABLE!

[@superanxiety261]

Vinny's 90s ad reading voice is pretty good

[@Rubbly]

This video is probably just all ads smh my head 🙄

[@mobius177]

I can't believe Vinny sold out like this 😔

[@Axolotlian]

Omg God really Vinny is such a sell out.

[@grievouslytired7886]

Should be fuckin 'shamed. The man sells out like this, and next thing ya know, he is running a insurance drop shipping pentagonal multi level marketing scheme. Money rly changes ppl 😥😥

[@DrNotnert]

Watching this segment made me realize how much I miss getting gaming magazines in the mail. I would get Nintendo Power once a month, and the lead-up to when it arrived was always so exciting. I'd check the mail everyday after school, so excited when it finally arrived. I miss those days

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I remember getting Game Informer in high school, and it was such a blast to read every month. I may not have agreed with every review, but they had great articles.

[@Numero27]

I miss the candid, crazy exuberance in these ads.

[@DrNotnert]

@@Numero27 yeah I agree. These ads had so much life in them, and were so creative. I feel like current day ads are just so bland and don't stick in your mind like these did

[@crackstuntman22]

I subscribed to Nintendo Power as a kid. Two years later they go under. Subscribed to Disney Adventures as a kid. Two years later THEY go under. Am I the death bringer of magazines?

[@novemberguy7087]

I didn't get Nintendo Power, but I did get GameInformer which I loved despite them being crap in hindsight.

[@paulrus-keaton439]

Oh my god. Someone went through my old Tumblr for these, I'm sure of it! For about 7 years I ran a Tumblr called Video Game Print Ads, and while I wasn't the only or the first to pursue this as a topic and some in here were not my finds, I definitely scanned some of these! (At least the ones for SpongeBob and Little Nicky) Most of these came from outside sources, most dominantly the Internet Archive.

[@tahunuva4254]

Thank you for your cervix 🫡

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Followed that account and would reblog it anytime you showed up. Reminded me of a different time, and I loved it.

[@effluviah7544]

Thank you for your service-- Your Tumblr sounds awesome!

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I really love these kind of segments Vin does. It warms my cold dead heart, and reminds me of why I've been a fan of him for ages. Really hoping SNKs old ads are in this one.

[@SpaceSkeletonDragon]

Finally Vinny acknowledges that he's been using "gormless" wrong all this time. And I'm happy that he doesn't care.

[@BinglesP]

I’ll fully allow him to reinvent that word, it fits more anyway

[@themac6356]

26:54 was the most perfect timing with the music lol

[@JowjoGames]

Holy shit can you imagine a gameshark hotline? A room full of poor souls reciting 32 character long strings to hyperactive 8-year-olds jacked to the tits on crystal pepsi? That's crazy,

[@HenryStudioCA]

Vinny started reading that Postal 1 ad *just* as I looking at something related to 9/11 in another window...

[@McDumDum]

3:56 How did Croc find his competition? ANIMATION

[@effluviah7544]

11:21 - For people wondering why a condom ad is talking about "losing lives", remember AIDS was still a public health concern at this point in time.

[@BinglesP]

(No timestamp since it’s literally 2 minutes in) I love how Mr. Flipnote told Vinny that one of them was fake, but didn’t tell him which one. And yet, he found the lie in the truths near-instantly. Disaster successfully avoided.

[@redcomet_622]

15:56 "I I I just bought more land in the virtual zones"

[@pitchblackgrue]

Vinny showed no hesitation the very second he saw that Adam Sandler he knows to go into the Little Nicky impression.

[@AceKuper]

At 32:20 the photo with a light bulb is a historical photo, so i'm not sure if this is a parody or an actual ad. "In the suburban village of Kashino Volokolamsk district, November 14, 1920 earned the first rural power plant. Vladimir Lenin was invited to visit the opening with his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya, who were vacationing near the village. At the appointed time, the chief arrived in the settlement by car and made a fiery speech. In this situation, for the first time in the whole of Russia lit “Ilyich’s lamp”

[@phili.9304]

Vinny is a master at ad narration voices Also pls make this a new segment

[@RenwallZocalo]

8:37 I did know warheads destroyed tongues. My younger brother and I got a big bucket of em and went ham on it over a week. It was painful. Looked gross too. Never did it again.

[@simplykeno]

As someone who wasn't alive for most of these ads, I love these streams that look back on this stuff.

[@davidtheriault1421]

Magazines went unhinged with their ads to catch any attention

[@hoggo3789]

Fine art and literature. Vinny truly is a cultured individual

[@_Jay_Maker_]

Man, I absolutely love some of the covers of these old gaming magazines. _Computer Gaming World_ in particular had some great choices in the old days.

[@cookieface80]

39:16 It's because if you did, they'd lose the trademark.

[@TurtleSoop]

I was really hoping for more evangelical pastor sonic with that ad

[@XxDigitalDaftPunkxX]

8:50 From Wikipedia: In the sport of ferret-legging, competitors tie their trousers at the ankles before placing two ferrets inside and securely fastening their belts to prevent the ferrets from escaping. Each competitor then stands in front of the judges for as long as he can. Competitors cannot be drunk or drugged, nor can the ferrets be sedated. In addition, competitors are not allowed to wear underwear beneath their trousers, which must allow the ferrets free access from one leg to the other, and the ferrets must have a full set of teeth that must not have been filed or otherwise blunted. The winner is the person who lasts the longest. The sport is said to involve very little "native skill", simply an ability to "have your tool bitten and not care". The former world champion, Reg Mellor, is credited with instituting the practice of wearing white trousers in ferret-legging matches, to better display the blood from the wounds caused by the animals. Competitors can attempt, from outside their trousers, to dislodge the ferrets, but as the animals can maintain a strong hold for long periods, their removal can be difficult. The ferrets are occasionally put inside the contestants' shirts in addition to their trousers. An attempt to introduce a female version of the sport-ferret busting, in which female contestants introduced ferrets down their blouses-proved unsuccessful.

[@fidderrr]

Drives me absolutely nuts that in the Gameboy color ad, the Gameboys in the corner aren't in the same color order as the tongues

[@TekNikEOSD]

him reading the viz "the more you play with it the harder it gets" its hilarious

[@gaspump]

The Asciipad was actually pretty good for a 3rd party controller. I remember it feeling nearly identical to the first party pads but the turbo function made it great for shmups.

[@sugreev2001]

I have a few big drawers full of game magazines I’ve had since I was a kid. Reading through magazine previews and reviews of games from the late 90’s to the late 00’s is pretty fun sometimes to pass time.

[@kekchanbiggestfan]

It’s all just sex

[@SeruraRenge11]

This aint even scratching the surface, it gets so much crazier than this.

[@yoshimasterleader]

27:55 - I still have the Mario cutout. 28:46 - They predicted goon caves.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

34:02 That right image is perfect for 9/11

[@ScarlettScoot]

I have a bunch of old UK gaming magazines. Might take a look and see if theres anything worth sending to the email, or wherever people submit things.

[@skibblebopper]

8:01 S C O R N

[@digitaldiablo1653]

1:45 That Stevie Wonder one was hilarious!

[@Citrusautomaton]

I implore anybody who hasn’t seen it to go watch buffwizard’s postal 1 analysis. That game is the polar opposite of it’s sequel.

[@BloodWraith777]

17:31 Gameboy SP Head: Cousin of Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2, Book Face from Cry of Fear, and Safe Head from The Evil Within.

[@GhostandChromis]

I miss 90s video game ads. They truly didn't give a fuck.

[@XerxesTexasToast]

The Paper Mario ad is SO clever.

[@effluviah7544]

I remember those-- Everyone cut them out and put them on their composition notebooks for school. Free advertising, by the kids themselves-- Nintendo is genius.

[@Vanished584]

Some of these ads really had no mercy. This was back when Companies HAD to actually compete to make good products, otherwise no one would buy them. For example: These ads are funny, extremely well designed, had only one picture and made me generally interested in their products Adverts today are so perfectly mismanaged, corporate sludge to the point where they force you to watch the AD.

[@paoloscavalcacinghie428]

Today you can't say anything, unless some nobody gets triggered.

[@kricku]

What a ending

[@goldblooded6329]

Somebody find the Jet Grind Radio ads!!

[@LeudieBlues]

Commercial chaos: gaming mags edition

[@masonasaro2118]

can’t wait for a classic game commercials 15 to finally come out. i don’t care if it’s made out of the video game commercial bits from commercial chaos, i need more pure video game marketing. (and yes, that includes mobile games) oh also croc vore

[@TheSilverWraith]

can't believe the game boy is slandering Limes like this

[@MixAndMash]

I actually lost taste on most of my tongue thru a couple packs of cry baby sour bubble gum when I was a kid, surprised they could sell those without a warning

[@JoJoZaka]

they knew most kids weren't stupid enough to eat them after the point it hurts and shreds their tongue

[@trulyinfamous]

You got actual acid burns. I bet that shit is a significant percentage of pure Citric acid.

[@Schemilix]

Most kids are definitely stupid enough to do that for sugar are tiu kidding me

[@gochem3013]

Finally, something importance!

[@TheNorthlander]

That Paper Mario "Free Demo" cutout ad is such a smart joke. Harmless, no weird sexual inuendo, just a basic dumb joke that's actually funny.

[@scootaluigi9381]

These are neat! I'm a bit too young to have grown up with gaming magazines, all I had were the advertisements in those godawful Boy's Life magazines in the school library. Those were like the Wii U commercials in print form.

[@spacellamamk1]

I had no idea they advertised cheat devices. I had a couple Action Replays

[@GamayObera]

21:24 All console versions of Lethal Enforcers are flawed: MD & MCD versions has limited color palette, SNES version has less animations + traditional Ninty censorship and PS1 version has less player reaction window + way more seizure-inducing flashes.

[@jabmaster1000]

We need more of this

[@Epsilonsama]

Vinny throwing shade at the ASCII turbo controller is wack. That controller was fire.

[@AluminumFusion22]

That Postal ad was grim, Jesus Christ. Thankfully the sequels went for a more comedic vibe, even if Postal III was terrible.

[@maccamachine]

Hell yeah I love this stuff vinny this is awesome to see I miss the days when they had so many crazy ads like this you can just flip through I loved it as a kid we definitely need more of this

[@cherrycheetos]

he sounded really offended by the "50 games in a month" ad

[@TeamFortress2Official]

It's cuz all the games this yeat

[@jasonk1609]

38:46 After Gus, Mike went on to work as an enforcer for Hiroshi Yamauchi

[@SuborbitalPigeon]

5:41 £39.99 was $76.81 on the 29th of July 1992. "Not bad" my arse. 32:18 There's swearing so it must be Scotland? That's a new one for me.

[@MozambiqueEnjoyer6097]

This makes me miss the Game Informers I used to get as a kid in the 2000's. I distinctly remember the TES IV: Oblivion, Halo Wars, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo Reach ones. The last one I got was the Tomb Raider reboot from 2013 I think. Times have changed.

[@MaximumRD]

Slow motion control is done by basically rapidly switching a games Pause feature on / off.

[@TerryTheAppleFox]

It just brings a real Smile to my face when I hear Vinny taking a dump on what was known to be what everyone thinks of, when you say the words "Turbo Controller"

[@OrangeHarrisonRB3]

Stevie Wonder could actually play Pong. When the games were simple white blocks on a black background, you can guide yourself with the squeal that the CRT makes.

[@SandandMetal]

Vinny this is great, i need more.

[@natebell4764]

I like ah da jet moto

[@MegaShelgon23]

Always glad to hear the Mario Artist music at the start of these segments.

[@connorbeith3232]

Vinny's unironically a good '90's announcer

[@mask-mimic]

Colonials? 7:47

[@natebell4764]

Vinny, I will hire you some day to voice my commercial. I don't know what I'll sell. Maybe Still Suits.

[@tatsuryuu5227]

Binny for the Postal one It does say the name of the Game it was an Ad for Postal 2:Lost Paradise.

[@laurenchinsphealsupremacis9978]

Oh no. Wtf is the ad in the thumbnail?

[@Maikonix]

I still wonder what that purple chimpanzee teaching kids how to make a pina colada on those pc gamer demo cds is up too now a days.

[@Blizzard-kf3qm]

I remember the magazine ad for Seaman on the Dreamcast. Someone needed to get fired for that one.

[@JeskidoYT]

31:26 OOP

[@fastfox57]

Say what you will about video game commercials and such from the past, but to me, I personally missed the magazine ads they would present in the 90s - 00s. I feel like those were more edgy than the commercials they'd air

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

Remember, Vinny laughed at domestic violence

[@tahunuva4254]

Ngl, domestic violence slaps

[@Skizzlepuss]

I miss mega warheads almost as much as I miss the top few layers of my tongue.

[@MisterPancake778]

Yeah it felt like eating acid lmao

[@Skizzlepuss]

@@MisterPancake778 yea, they were pretty awesome. I ate half a bag of them once and couldn't taste anything for a whole day, and stuff tasted weird for the next 2. Good times.

[@predcon1]

13:25 Is that Amy Fisher?

[@wolfgangervin2582]

Seeing Kirby Super Star (my favorite game of all time) and Panzer Dragoon Zwei (one of the first games I remember playing and part of a series that collectively go in my top 3) both get cringey ads here hurts deeply. If you're curious Team Fortress 2 is the other member of the top 3.

[@arclite95]

I wonder if Stevie wonder has seen his Atari ad.

[@spongbros]

40:00 Someone show that David Lynch PS2 ad to Vinny.

[@IndoorSitup]

He's already seen it.

[@XDestroyoxZx]

Good segment, magazine ads are infinitely more cursed

[@Googlesucksballs]

Back in the good old days when body horror was a normal way to sell games to kids and parents.

[@RetroReloaded]

I like this. Please sir, give me more.

[@jackintheboxjames3838]

I used to play Echo the dolphin because my mom had a Sega genesis and that was a game I played

Anyone know what the background music is at the very beginning of the video?

[@acekatsu9115]

If it wasn't for the Grunge explosion, we wouldn't have those wonderfully edgy and overly-sexual 90's ads. Thank you Seattle, too bad that there's nothing good about you now.

[@squadalaguydc]

Whats the music playing in the background?

[@xavana2442]

[@WilfredCthulu]

Oh gosh I remember this one from egm where it looked like they drew all over the page with a player on it with marker and insulting it and crap yeah insult the reader and be an edgy 13 year old that'll work. Ah gameboy and n64 colors lined up though...
