This was apparently real, from a flyer at an event in 1996.
Reminds me of John Lennon who said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus…
There were protests and record burnings and they were banned on many radio stations and they stopped touring, some say because of the backlash….
In 1980, he was murdered by a Christian fan of the Beatles, Mark David Chapman, who later cited Lennon’s quote as one of his possible motives in the killing.
This style is drastically better than anything today.
At least it’s an ethos
Anyone remember this XBox ad?
Apparently it was banned, but I remember seeing it fairly regularly so it must’ve been around for a while before that happened…
Lol yes…yes I do! I didn’t know it was banned because it was played quite a bit on whatever I used to watch. Man I want to say G4 but I’m not sure the time lines work out.
If the PS1 is more powerful than God, then what is the PS5? 😮
More powerful than “God 5”
Sure. Ever seen god being powerful?
The PlayStation 3 baby commercial was also something else. Playstation has had some real weird marketing moments.
Yeah, I’m not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky ‘edgy’ crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of ‘we’re gamers, parents just wouldn’t understand’ type ads. Here’s one that even teen me was like ‘wtf?’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg
I’m so glad this is the one you linked. Such an icon of a commercial lol
