Atari strange commercial

[setsunasamachan]

The last phrase in this video is a LIE! Lol.

[7megahertz]

Deep inside of every man there's a little boy. And that boy is as much an asshole as the adult.

[GentleBen02]

why is he using a joystick to play Breakout? lol

[mikeferr107]

Yup. That was definitely peculiar.

[engineerzerochannel]

Back then they had to use artist illustrations because the actual computer graphics were so primitive. Today, computer graphics are replacing illustrations. The singularity is near, don't trip over it.

[TBTabby]

Can you imagine how much the animation budget for this ad must've been?

[waluigithecool2]

Near the end... the mom looks psycho, the kid looks possessed, and the dad looks as if he's enjoying it a bit TOO much... Good thing I'm not related to them.

[wisteela]

Strange

[zocazoey]

buybuyBuyBuYbUyBUBUYBUYBUYBUYB­UYBUYBUYBUYBUYBUYBUYBUYYYY!!

[DickLodge68]

Ummm what's weird about that? Every guy likes to play with his joystick.

[MisterSenseless]

I love these animated commercials

[NESAtariSegaNerd]

Anyone else notice he was playing 2 player Breakout with himself and only one JOYSTICK instead of paddles? :P

[WebVMan]

Grown up enough to share it? YEAH RIGHT!!!

[BurnRoddy]

OMG! His wife is a dude in disguise. Look at his eyebrous and the size of his hands. It's... IT'S!... MICHAEL ROSENBAUN IN SORORITY BOYS.

[MrCorporalTunnel]

He's playing breakout with the Joystick. That's creepy. We all knew that was a game that required the Paddles.

[BeStanly]

0:11 THAT'S SCARY!!!

[MsChihiroSan]

This is for a commercial pitch. It's not an actual commercial.

[SHsurreal]

0:11 OH JEZUS CHRIST KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!1!!!!!!

[SethGreenMachine2010]

Fail.

[incarnationofsorrow]

Yeah, and then when his family leaves the room the dude probably pops in Custer's Revenge or Beat 'em and Eat 'em.

[TylerKG123]

What the crap

[seka1986]

WEIRD

[nintendosegafan912]

0_0

[Left4TeamFortress2]

WHATTH?! am a woman OnO

[zamorak363]

what happens when peter pan plays it?

[thetickleninjas]

Have I played my Atari today? No. I played my Xbox 360 w/ Kinect.

[marcelox123greaser]

@thetickleninjas Yeah!!

[ultimapwnzr]

0:13 he stares into your soul

[joecassara]

I have a feeling this isn't a real commercial, but a mock-up using storyboards.

[gamer4567]

0:25

The Mom and dad look very....sinister....

I'm scared of what they do to that child!

[KilleRotom]

is he playing breakout with a joystick?

It is supposed to be used with the paddles

[jcgamer107]

Every man is deep inside an atari boy.

...er, wait.

[idrispower]

brainwash xDDDDDDDD

[vigotheunholy]

Can anyone find a commercial about "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" for Atari?

[onceigoblack]

80s storyboards look like conjunction junction. todays storyboards look like marvel graphic novels.

[gamesDAMNED]

Yeah, I'm sure that exactly what woman are asking for: turn your husbands and boyfriends into overgrown children.

[um09dndam]

give a man a ps3, xbox360, wii, and a pc, he'll never leave home

[gjc82071]

God I love retro Atari commercials! I remember this melody, but different with lyrics "First a Pacman eats through a maze of dots" can't remember the rest of the lyrics. I totally love Atari.  I have a breakout/pinball console & Atari Ultra Pong console (both pre-2600 made in '76) the 2600,5200 & 7800. I was the 1st kid in my school with an Atari 2600. Also, Emulators! I have every Atari system & practically EVERY game available. I wish there was an internet play/competition option on them.

[infinitumpatata]

i want an atari

[TheDutchGame]

@infinitumpatata I got one :P

[BIOCybie]

of course i've played atari today, who hasn't?

[EdgarKritik]

It's not a real commercial. It's story boards cut to temp music and voice over. Probably part of a pitch to see if they wanted to spend the money actually producing the real thing.

[AnimeFanPan]

wth?

[Nintendavin]

I have played Atari today, but after this commercial I don't think I really want to...

[The8BitWarrior]

Well? Have you played atari today or what?

[NukeOTron]

Of course I haven't played Atari today. I'd rather Does my Genesis.

0:18 *sarcasm* Some thrilling gameplay.

[mrWrayburn]

Eat a turd. Breakout kicks ass!

[goldensolder44]

the eighties are gross!

any one agree reply back

[pacmancdi2]

fuck off nigger

[RuroKens]

Maybe it's help for a pedophile woman.... and she's really wants a little boy husband.

[Mixwizzard35]

I think the mans wifes Expression is more sinister near the end

[Membrane556]

Dear god you're right she's nightmare fuel.

[Bassooomah1]

lol

[LitterboxDiorama]

Looked like a freak-iod video game junkie zombie......the thing your parents were afraid you'd turn into if you played too much Atari

[TooSlowGamer]

Have you played Atari today?

Yeah, but you don't wanna know what I was playing!

AVGN is awesome

[Iams1mpatic00]

@TooSlowGamer i agree! :D

[shairaptor]

@TooSlowGamer what has avgn got to do with this video? are you a fanboy? ;)

[TooSlowGamer]

@shairaptor Ummm.  I hope that wink means sarcasm ;)

[shairaptor]

@TooSlowGamer it does ;)

[heartkiller1974]

@TooSlowGamer ah yeah

the atari porn episode,right?

[AtariFTW]

@TooSlowGamer Custer's revenge? 

[metaldave08096]

Thank god they don't have stupid commercials like this anymore.

[motherthing]

This was clearly a sketch from the art department showing how the commercial would work when finished. The real commercial exists on YouTube. Also, at the time home video games were considered a "kids thing", not like today when you have people who claim to be adults but spend all evening playing World Of Warcraft.

[d1sAs7eR]

Have you played Atari today?

Catchy tune.

[socialmarketing]

It turns men into little boys? Michael Jackson must have loved the Atari.

[PlaceBotox]

how does michael jackson know its time to go to bed?

When the big hand touches the little hand.

[sinistermoon]

Why did Michael Jackson go to K-Mart?

Because they have little boys underwear half off.

[WiiClassic2usb]

@socialmarketing - This commercial confuses me, it says if you give a "man" an atari, his inner little boy will come out due to "pleasant nostalgic memories" associated with his childhood, but what came -before- Atari? Pretty much nothing, right? Sure, there was home pong and those vector graphics arcade games but the time span between those really isn't that big. 0:25 - Okay now they're just flat out lying...

[MrCorporalTunnel]

@socialmarketing

Win.

[strawhataddison]

@socialmarketing lmao. best comment ever.

[ZotDudot7]

Det er en meget dum kommercielle.

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

sup. fuck you.

[therandyrandall89]

TOUCH MY ATARI AND ILL RAPE

[cuttock]

Only faggots play Atari.

Today.

[tofud00d]

that WAS strange!

[roxasandsonicfan]

OMG IM SCARED

[Madmatt024]

0_o I am ... freaked out

[CRVKHZ]

This is just a storyboard, not the final commercial.

[revolutionika]

lol wut?
