[kalexh]

Why the fuck did they put an opera singer in a commercial like this? Oh wait... The whole thing is random doh. Like isaac nedton throwing apples and block at the head? But seriously.. I love this ad to e true X)

[twibkidx]

The comercial only needed to be 2 seconds long and say "ITS FUCKING TETRIS!"

I would have sold. Trust me.

[WebVMan]

Nintendoooooooooo what Genesis Don't.

[quiktymevideo]

Hands down, best puzzle video game of all time!

[GeneralMario1]

Does anyone else wish today's commercials could be like this? Lol.

[TheAandNproductions]

[gutchman84]

[barneybros]

This game is very addictive, I cant sleep due tot the Tetris effect.....

[ChronicMetamorphosis]

Issac Newton is reads a 1686 Nintendo Power while a Tetromino hits him in the head and he discovers gravity!

[WebVMan]

@ChronicMetamorphosis Back then, they printed card game strategies.

[toddsmitts]

4 people had a Sega Master system.

[PlINGIO549]

NOW YOU'RE PLAYING WITH POWER!

[mrzero1982]

[weegee0eat0ur0soul]

Ohsta62(number I forgot)

U replied to a 2 YEAR OLD COMMENT

[terrorsquadlith]

@weegee0eat0ur0soul i guess the guy who wrote that comment is dead and gone a long time ago.. ;D

[Ohsta6t2]

Now, Tetris is playing with power!

[aubz8888]

Holy hell, I remember this commercial. Wow. I haven't been Tertisized (sp?? HAHA) in a long time...

Aw, the old school. Good times.

[chocolate11pie]

I just love yelling at my TV screen saying "Put a piece here, put a piece there!"

[mariothebirdie]

@chocolate11pie XD lol 

[calenteful]

Nintendooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[dykbojen123]

Put a piece here put a piece there

fuck yourself

extra size

[hellboy6507]

nintendo didnt make this some russian dude in 1982 made and gave it to atari

[PunkRocker666Metal]

That bit at 0:16 , is it me ...or is that largely inspired by Monty Python?

[Nox0verstreet]

Now that's what I'm talkin' about. Pure retro all in your grill!

[SicSolution]

This commercial is  so lame XD

[quietcloak]

I remembered everything about this commercial! OMG!

[DEATHMK007]

in the beginning:

You need to touch yourself!

[kamenriderslasher]

ah.. the good old days

[johnnylime1000]

That was a golden age for TV.

[hurtchow]

I love how the guy does a fist pump right in the middle of his 1P game... YES 2 more lines! wtf

[dogeymon83]

THAT OPERA WOMAN WAS CREEPY!!!!

[traceur73]

tetris is a classic

[CollisionCat]

NintendooOOOOO!

[NintendosAdvocate2]

I never understood why or how Tetris was so popular? I liked it, but it always got tiresome FAST! I never even cared about getting good at it. There was too many other games that were so much better.

[RandomGuy1994]

Before you think about that, think why Pong is a classic

[quiktymevideo]

Happy 25th Birthday Tetris, or should I say, Счастливый 25-ый День рождения Tetris.

[supermanjack94]

lol, what i reckon is funny is that this ad so so intense but tetris is like the least intense game ever.

[0ccamsRazor]

Reply back after looking up videos of TGM and TAP. (e.g. that TGM3 invisible tetris video on here)

[supermanjack94]

i stand corrected!!! omg! that guy is insane

[JustJac0b]

Apparently you've never played Tetris.

[supermanjack94]

fuck you. i grew up on tetris.

and i corrected my statement anyways

[Jourell1]

Come on guys the first line in "you'll need a tetris shot". even i got that back in the day.

[StarBoy62]

The unlicensed Tengen version on NES is much better than this version.

[9Wii9]

Haha, I still love this ad! I really do still think that boy is encouraging people to touch themselves

[henritje19]

that is the most random Commercial I ever saw

[outworlderohlendorf]

first saw this commerical during Ninja Turtles... lol

[VideoQuestEx]

Get 'TETRI-SIZED' or something, LOL!

A blast from the past!

[docdoom187]

yep, i remember this commercial. this is my first time seeing it in about 15 years, and I remember it almost exactly the way it is in the video. these kinds of awesome memories never die.

[stefcky]

I don't know about power (but I also don't really care), but "You need to touch yourself" and "Tetrisoid"!Come on that was lame even for that time ! LOL x2!!!

[hurtchow]

He's saying 'you need a tetris shot!'

[SuperMetroidMedia]

0:02 You need to touch yourself. lol

[ArcadeGames]

Wierd...

[pedrofagim]

why the hell there is power in everything from nintendo.

[LufsyLurqy]

did he say you need to touch yourself?

Well anyways,it cracked me up

[Quietschquatsch]

this

is

wierd

...

[llWPGll]

hahahaha that crappy shit NOW YOUR PLAYING WITH POWER the kid on the commercial is like YES LOL

[EdgarDirby]

Now back when we played on the video games you only had the nintendo entertainment system. The Atari had gone back home, you see, and the IBM's were in seclusion until the Macintosh reared its ugly head during the Super Bowl. Of course, we only had seventy bowl games back in those days, so you can imagine how super it was.

Well, to make a long story short is an expression whose origins are long and rambling(*citation)...

[javoman13]

This game was cool.

[onlynicc16]

wow i hate old adverts, all of em where fuked up.... the worst hasta be the nintendo power mag ad.

[Ohsta6t2]

@onlynicc16 At least they had style.

[onlynicc16]

@Ohsta6t2 Aww for fuck sake thats not fair, i commented this two years ago ! Ill admit it is a creative advert but still...

[FOXMcCLOUD74647]

notice the eye chart at the start

N,

IN,

TENDO!

[Zm4rf]

There's a "TETRIS" underneath.

[FOXMcCLOUD74647]

yeah i forgot to add that underneath

[JakAndKeiraFan]

"Use your thumbs, use your eyes! Find yourself Tetrisized!" Gosh, this takes me back.

[inadeez]

I remember when this commercial came out and it still plays at random 20yrs later. ... dont blow in it, just hold reset and hit the side

[gsp2241]

the game boy version is much better than the nes version

[rotate1991]

if only nes had voice recognition then we could shout like that guy

"put a piece here, put a piece there!"

[YoshiZilla]

I would yell

"All 4x1 bricks!"

[toddsmitts]

Actually there was a voice-recognition device. Check out the Angry Video Game Nerd's video on NES accessories!

[TheAnimationEmpire]

You all are wrong! Tetris is the best game EVER!!!

[CrashHedgehog]

i playe this game not so good i think

[RCS8901]

now after a couple rows tetris get so boring

[LineJDJS]

OMG... That's technology...

[80sAlternitive]

lol they make tetris look like the best game ever xD

[inadeez]

I'm with everyone else, remember it word for word because of after-school repetition.  It's so beautiful ! :')

[fartsandpoots]

Ads today suck. I have that same game and the nintendo entertainment system. they both still work! although at times I have to blow in them.

[BlooTewb]

were all ads this cool back then? i took them for granted

[sevin6068]

Square, rectangle, trapazoid, TETRAZOID!!! Man...gotta love the flashback.

[arne3285]

omfg i remember this, god i'm old!

[KCBONE]

Damn.. How to make a 'boring' game spectacular! :D

And nice gaming setup does the guy have. He's got to have RSI by now...

[badbobbyhughes]

Find yourself TETRIS-IZED! Man I had forgotten all about this commercial, I saw it about 10 times an afternoon for awhile

[videogameknowitall]

There was a huge lawsuit between Nintendo and TENGEN over the rights to the Tetirs game. The only reason why Nintendo won was becouse Nintendo teamed up with Henk Rodgers who knew Alexy Pahjtnov, and was able to get the real rights.

[BenJabituya]

I gots me this game, But I gotta find the Tengen version, cause it was 2-player.

[BenJabituya]

This brings back my memories!  The fat lady singing "NINTENDO!".

[Veeny]

I SO remember this commercial. Tetris is still, to this day, one of my favorite video games. :)
