+FujiSkunk #13 Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Not exactly a joke, but there is an old "You Can't Do That on Television" skit that involved Atari games. It went basically like this: Councelor: What is your favorite video game? Camper #1: Asteroids! Councelor: Here's a roll of quarters, go play some Asteroids. And what is your favorite video game? Camper #2: Space Invaders! Councelor: All right, here's a roll of quarter for you to go play some Space Invaders. So, what is your favorite game? Camper #3 (looking excited): Pac-Man! Councelor: Excellent! You get to "pac" the garbage! (looks to the camera) Works every time! Actually there was an entire YCDToTV episode dedicated to video games, and the Atari 2600 in particular, but that skit is the one I remember best.

espire8 #16 Posted October 24, 2006 Are there any Atari jokes? Really bad ones? Like, truly awful? -- I wonder what's at the bottom of the barrel. -John The worst joke I saw atari do was not even a joke. It was the pictures of the paid actors they had on the fb2 box trying to 'pretend' to have fun playing a game with the tv off. They were even holding the joystick the wrong way with their mouths hanging, it was so obvious and fake it made me choke with laughter thinking what kind of words may be coming from their mouths if 30 out of 40 of the games sucked! I can forgive it though and I do play the fb2 hoping not to look like the people on the box. I guess they tried to do like the original 1983 vcs box having the same thing, but it was done with triple more fakeness on the fb2. How bout a big phony laugh everybody?
