Miss 2600 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) The Fly is my favorite. It is just...Wow! The song for that Centipede commercial I have on an mp3 player with only 1980s music and commercials. Another one I like that I don't think has been mentioned yet is the ET Christmas commercial. I think it is really sweet. Edited July 26, 2015 by Miss 2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everest) I also vote for the MTV ads and the Star Wars one, "I'M JUST GONNA LOOK AT A POP-UP BOOK FOR A MINUTE! AAAAAAAH!" And then the Wolf of Wall Street joke...

mikey.shake Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This past Halloween, I hosted/MC'd a stage show in costume as Luigi... I kept "looking for my brother". Talking about how the last time I saw him, he and his helpless girlfriend were taking mushrooms and trying to climb into the toilet. I hopped up onstage between some of the acts with a cry of "Mario... where aaaaare you?!" At curtain call, one of my castmates finally popped out, in matching costume, as Mario. After the show, THREE different audience members came over to tell us how much they loved that commercial. It wasn't some of you folks in disguise, was it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomberang Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 While not solely for the 2600, this is my favorite, because I just sold my Donkey Kong arcade machine to the guy playing Mario in it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ke_xvIqLV70 His stage name is Harris Shore. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0794928/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Just noticed that in the Mario Bros. commercial, Mario is calling out to himself. Wouldn't you think Luigi should be the one calling for Mario? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Might be the video quality, but looks like they might have played with the tint or color on the TV screen to make the maze look darker. What should be green and red strips on the bottom aren't so green and red either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syzygy1 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Surprised nobody's posted Spiderman yet! Spider-Man! I forgot about that one! I think they re-used the concept in 2002 for a later Spider-Man game commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy1 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Yeah, and Spider-Man has gotta be my favorite Atari commercial of all time due to how crazy the guy playing the Goblin is acting. He's up there with Willem Dafoe. Can you say, original Swayzak? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
