Earthworm Jim commercial for Nintendo

[HyperKnoedelDoedel]

Dafuq I just Watch?

[stupidmariobros913]

Earthworm Jim is not sad that grandma eats his friends!

[Jonnehtron]

I have the version for sega genesis :D

[Antichrist2000]

That was actually allowed on TV? How did that ever get past over protective smothering mothers?

[shogunblade]

What the fuck. If I saw this trailer when I was a kid, I'd have never touched the game. Kind of sad, considering that it's in my favorite games of all time lists. Still, what the fuck.?

[vante2]

@shogunblade Heh, you should've seen the Yoshi's Island commercial.

[MandarinaGamer]

Stupid old your mother's shell

[Johnlindsey289]

The commercial grossed me out when i was 13 and made me puke but the game kicked ass

[rang3r34]

@Johnlindsey289 Never seen this one! LOVED THE GAME!! It needs another sequel on PS3 or Xbox!

[deadfishy666]

Commercials ain`t like this anymore! D:

[theloquendero61]

FUUUCK i was eating spagheti no seriously

[EckoNike3]

Whats with Earthworm jim and old ladies?

[kennysuavo]

man thats pretty scary!

[snake2006]

You do know that it was a Genesis exclusive for a year before the SNES version came out, and the SNES version is the inferior version.

[MahliSofie]

I freaking remember this

[EddieEddieEddie90]

Wow that sure is some HARDCORE shit!

[SandersonCallum]

fbfvbf

[guitarheroaddict12]

they sure don't make games or commercials like this anymore lol

[damprumpan]

@guitarheroaddict12 they'd just scare kids away.

[Rodrigo00]

this is fucking disturbing

[gameworkshop2707]

this game is as exciting as the beginning of the video ....

[ThePalindromer]

I'm scared.

[pivot1986]

jajaja que tierna la abuelita

yo lo tengo al 1 y el 2 en sega

[supermelvin2011]

el earthworm jim esta buenisimo

[EricSchwin22]

Her 32 seconds of fame was worth my time :) haha...love the 90's

[Nekradude]

love the 90s!! the most underrated decade!

[StopDropAndROFL69]

O.O WhAt ThE DUCK???

[PwnagePC]

gilf

[EricSchwin22]

Wow...what happened to commercials like these? Nowadays the commercials I see on TV suck.

[KittColby]

The Planet Heck? I thought that was just an edit for the cartoon show.

[WheresMahBacon]

Was that Gruntilda at the end?

[Danwolf15]

I'm just scared o.o

[todamam66667]

it's funny how the gameplay is from the genesis.

[StephenNormal]

Makes you sad to realise that that woman's dead, doesn't it?

[georgiefromtippit]

alzheimers is a bitch aint it?

[joestarbluesky]

Earth worm jim es un gran juego el comercial esta chido y es mi comico

[humanconvertile]

:o ... I blinked, what just happened?

[JackBandicootsBunker]

That looked more like a System Shock 2 ad than an Earthworm Jim ad...

Now, in all honesty, the SNES ports of Earthworm Jim were for me the worst ones, that despite having better sound were a bit jerky in comparison to the Genesis ports or even more, the Mobile port released last year by Gameloft.

[zaxtor]

That woman is soo smart.

[victorhugo2826]

O_O

[MrNorbert1994]

AVGN: Eat that shit!

[shanedawsonluv123]

I get really scared whenever i play that game

Even today i still get scared

[delltardboy]

@shanedawsonluv123 why? whats scary about it?

[GyoGAMEpro]

i thot it was on snes

[nucleardeath07]

This reminds me of my grandma. After my grandfather died she started to randomly dig in her backyard planting "gardens"and would actually eat anything that came out of the ground, including worms. We had to put her in a home, I miss her.

[sanchoclause007]

@nucleardeath07 I don't mean to bother you but I read your comment and I felt sorry to hear that you Grandma is a home all I can say is that you should try to visit her once in awhile old people need company of their family specially when the environtment is very sad in those places.

[delltardboy]

@sanchoclause007 haha im pretty sure he was joking no grandmas (even one who was very mentally ill from old age) would ever go out into the garden and say they were planting and really just eating worms hes obviously joking

[SmackuSer]

fucking scary commercial !

[RevelationWarriors]

And that's how i got EWJ for X-Mas

[legojoe9]

i wonder what that ladys grandson thought when he saw that commercial

[PinkBananaSplitInc]

OMG THE SCREENSHOTS ARE FROM THE MEGADRIVE/GENESIS THE BETA VERSION

[TheWolvesfan89]

@PinkBananaSplitInc g\sjfkyxbsdsdfxgjhbvhgcfdxtfkl­kyjhjh

[atomofish]

Miss God Warrior only adds to the freakiness of this commercial.

[qwertyuiop1234264ify]

I still don't get the old granny in the middle of the woods with cartoon birds flyin' around, while shes talking about a game whilst eating worms. Was this Doug TenNapel's idea?

[KN0XH0UND]

Ironically, my grandma bought me this game.

[MDWimb]

She eating worms. Thats realy Gross!!!!

[nuke97]

We need more commercials like this !!!  EWJ owns!!!

[kirbykrisis18]

7 people got blasted by earthworm jim.

[TheNekorobin]

That old lady reminded me of the grannies in ewj 2 in the bonus level...

[tyler9452]

GOD WARRIOR!

[XTREME2DAG]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you; Tim and Eric's inspiration for everything they do!

[StrawberryGuy86]

He takes out that precious dog, while I take out some precious worms! 

[smartguest]

the ipod touch version is quite good although i have trouble on level 5 on how to whip the hook on the top electro sphere

[StrawberryGuy86]

I wonder if that's the same granny I fought in the bonus levels of Earthworm Jim HD...

[Dukklord]

ewwww

[cloveofgarlic]

mmmmmmmm....worms

[Clayguy247]

Whoever made that game was on crack. Thought it was poudered sugar and put 10 pounds of it into sugar cookies, and then ate them all by himself.

[tbikape]

@Clayguy247

Doug Tennapel made this, and he's actually a fundamentalist Christian Republican. But yeah, he probably did put something in the communion wafers to come up with this stuff.

Make sure to check out his other games!

[mistertitanic]

The title is wrong :P some of the gameplay footage was the Genesis version. so technically the title should not have Nintendo in it.

[ToastyTreats]

Greatest old school game

[frostare]

@ToastyTreats They have brought this back as remakes quite often though

[Lohead20]

Better than American Idol

[HIGH777ROLLER]

The 90's sure was a sick and fucked up decade...

[TheCORE87]

@HIGH777ROLLER

Haha and I wouldn't want it any different ;)

[MrMastaPlanna]

@HIGH777ROLLER just the way we liked it.

[LCRDKazrai]

@HIGH777ROLLER And I loved it

[TheActionGameMaster]

Games like these were made when crack was much easier to find and had a lower cost.

[RoyalHustler09]

Remember the game, just not the commercial.

[Orangekazooie]

yummy

[popofffpeter05]

reminds me of my grandma.

[SpooferJahk]

I remember seeing this commercial as a kid but never played it until these times, man Earthworm Jim is an awesome game, honestly there is nothing like it out these days, what game has a hell level with elevator music? XD But about the commercial, man was it strange.......

[DeltaSquadGO]

SHES EATING JIMS BROTHERS!!!!1!!1

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

earthworm jim is from playmates? 

[videogamer132]

Earthworm Jim ROXS!

[AjJustChyllin]

i wish companies used more drugs today when creating ideas for commercials

[neoboomboom]

she reminds me of my grandma

[xzoshuax]

shes really nasty

[Kristanni20X6]

That lady kinda reminds me of a character I read in a Judy Blume book. I forget which one but I know it's in one with Fudge and Peter Hatcher

[DrakeYTP]

What the...???

[AlienfaceBiliRubin]

reminds me of that gross piece of shit-movie the worm eaters....

[RosettaStonedX]

God warrior at the end, hah.

[MrJust86]

i hated that commercial as a kid really nintendo was it nesscary to have a old lady eating worms ? it wasnt funny at all! just weird and nasty

[00samee00]

Disturbing...

[Aeoncalcos91]

KICK ASS AD! KICK ASS GAME!

[MariusMMS]

lol, what is it with Earthworm Jim and animals? xD and old ladies of course :p in my gameboy game of him, he always meets a cow or something, and being hit by a granny xD

[acwex]

most entartainment game ever,good memeories

[nuke97]

If you think about it this commercial was pretty intense in the crazy department....love it! and i remember seeing this on t.v

[Animaniac2]

could you post the video of the second commercial?

[halfofme]

Pause at 0:04 "Game play and game screens shown are from Genesis"... Well Sega does do what Nintendon't.

[OreWaUsopp]

@halfofme

Sega does do what Nintendon't.

Yup, they sure do. They do things Nindendo never did. You know, like, fail at the console market. I can honestly say, as a child, I NEVER expected to play Sonic games on a Nintendo console. lol

[prinbillbroz]

@OreWaUsopp sega is a loving company and they aren't mad with money these days like Nintendo is, example:Nintendo DS Nintendo DS lite Nintendo DSi Nintendo DSXL Nintendo 3DS.

[OreWaUsopp]

@prinbillbroz

*Hysterical Laughter*

Oh, man! Good one! Pretending SEGA isn't as big a bunch of whores as anyone else in the industry. No one loving would ever offer us WEREHOG, and pretend it was a Sonic game. And going back to the days of the console wars, shall I remind you of the SEGA CD? Almost every game was crap on toast. And SEGA just kept approving and cranking out discs that no one wanted, and to this day are icons of terrible gaming. Not insulting you, just pointing out this stuff

[prinbillbroz]

@OreWaUsopp the sega cd had it's good points and it made up for the mega drive's lack of good sound quality plus sonic cd was awesome,earthworm jim special edition was groovy! YES WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE WEREHOG THAT WAS TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO!,sega is finally listening to us fans after a DECADE! and they are making sonic 4 now, i am quite happy with what they are doing now!, the dreamcast has everything that the wii has,motion control,sixth generation graphics,good sound quality.

[prinbillbroz]

@prinbillbroz going back to the console wars,contrary to your belief sega won by a mile!,sega had sega channel which lets you try out games before you buy them AND let's you play games that never saw the light of day in america,sega had the sega nomad which perfectly emulated the genesis' graphics,sound and color palette.sega had EVERYTHING and what did nintendo have?,there franchises.i admit super mario world was fantastic, donkey kong country was revolutionary,and kirby super star was awesome

[prinbillbroz]

@prinbillbroz in everyway you put it nintendo was cool but sega was better.

[OreWaUsopp]

@prinbillbroz

Prin, you must understand, even at age 30, the old console wars loyalties are still strong. I was a Nintendo fanboy growing up, but, never a blind one. I utterly ignored the N64 generation of consoles, and had a PS and PS2, never had a Gamecube. Got a Wii because it was a good deal, but, I personally feel the battery-sucking wiimote as primary controller is seriously taking a gimmick too far. I don't worship Nintendo, but, in the old days, I vastly preferred SNES game library.

[prinbillbroz]

@OreWaUsopp yes i forgot to add "in my opinion", i understand you personally enjoy the snes more,let's just forget this WHOLE THING HAPPENED.

PS:N64? you should have seen the DISASTER THAT WAS THE SEGA SATURN! XD

[hootyhaha]

@prinbillbroz Yeah but still... all this still started out BECAUSE of Sega. Without SEGA this game might have never been. And I say that as an old school NES fanboy. Heck I'm just a fanboy of all things old school, I love it all :)

[joc95]

0:05

says it sega gameplay so why do you have nintendo in your title?

[hvillin]

Lol, that was a crazy ass game.

[Actraiser64]

That commercial brings back some memories. Only problem is the worm-eating Grandma makes me queasy lol

[layger7]

that was really, rock star games XD

[NESSNESS9]

>.>

[xEmotionalxSephiroth]

i bet she's dead now.

[WickedDrummer44]

lol

[roidz17]

What a crazy old bat

[TheLordofTheRibs]

SICK!!!!!!!

[DoctorPika]

uggghhhhhh

[VicGeorge2K6]

Now eat your earthworms because they're good for you, little children!

[dukeljk]

For the record the video is of the genesis version.

[SGFAZ]

... Don't eat any cookies this grandma gives you, WHATEVER YOU DO!

[JamesCobb07]

I owned an Earthworm Jim action figure. I played with it in the snow, the plastic froze and the head snapped off. This commercial just dug up old wounds. Going to dig out the Genesis.

[w0nd]

i had the same toys, one head snapped off, the other one was a toy where he shot the head out of his body.....the body broke in half where the launcher was, got the same one again, same thing happened.

[Kzastle]

for the record, this is probably the best comment ever left on the tubes.

[Ryxaiin]

@JamesCobb07 I had an earthworm jim action figure. he had an ejectable head.

I still have him. :D

[JCAznDude]

@JamesCobb07 I did too man! T-T I didn't break mine though. It got lost in the passages of time. Good thing I still got the games to cheer me up. :)

[Scurry254624]

i like how back in the day commercials used to tell you about the plot of the game and everything. now a days they don't tell you jack shit and show little to no gameplay

[prettyd31]

absolutely correct! now they just show small clips and how good the crtics rated the games.

[jjadgemini88]

video games are being treated more like movies now, and i think its a good sign.

[NemesisTheZombieKing]

I disagree...we all know how game movies or movie games work...they start being the same thing...were gonna get screwed outta entertainment...

[jjadgemini88]

@NemesisTheZombieKing hmm, i was thinking more along the lines of emotional intensity. when you play bioshock or half life 2, you feel about as satisfied as if you had read a good book, or watched a good movie. (except Bioshock's ending which totally stopped trying) Regardless, its a long way from Donkey Kong.

[NemesisTheZombieKing]

But even then it leaves you wanting more..and when more comes..you ether feel worse then if the first failed...Or you continue to need more.

[drone565]

@Scurry254624 Minus freaking the fuck out of you

[crainey1]

cant belive i remember this commercial.

[Poncho4NCVox]

I know me too.

[sozinhoemcasa1988]

its called trauma ; )

[koolguy389]

she lookes and sounds like the spawn of the devil

[sonic121421224122314]

weird? how she eats worms? really weird

[Kamelik]

I wouldn't change a thing

[BANKAICHEESE]

i love how he runs

[AceofSaintcanard84]

Happy 15th Anniversary!

[abridgedman100X]

LOL I am 15!

[AceofSaintcanard84]

Aww,how cute,abridgedman100X ^-^!

[conn0412]

trippy

[AceofSaintcanard84]

Creepy ass commercial! O_o

[izlude2]

that old lady in the commercial makes an apperance in earthworm jim 2, seen falling down the stairs.

FRESH!!!

[LazyBasterd142]

dude I wanna see that send me a link sometime

[LazyBasterd142]

[nickg2894]

Nintendo has the best commercials for gamming back in the day

[ThePokeRulers]

what the FUCK was that

[00Kirby0]

What the fuck?

[yostoyou]

[Ostnizdasht206]

I remember that commercial!

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

0:30

[phoenixsunburn]

I'm never eating gummi worms again!!

[CartoonNetworkTwo]

[andrewearthwormjim]

Wow Thats Cool Grandma

[bubbaXzone]

i think i remember seeing this commerical long time ago.

[TheSBWproductions]

I think the scary voice is Tom Kenny (AKA Sponge Bob)

[LazyBasterd142]

that grandma is fuckin scary

[GlebGuy]

She's my granny and uh... Jim was her first love so uh... Yeah they didn't hit it off quite well.

[TeenageSuicide]

LOLOLOLOLOL

[hasan2558]

stop at 0:27 she looks like a witch

[TheChoujinVirus]

maybe she's the queen in cognito

[foamyfan231]

wow, that creepy old lady still gives me nightmares

[MADMOUSE926]

GOOD GAME !

[Surfanimal1990s]

video game commercials back then were more edgy and funny. I agree

[M30W3R]

Now it's all about "LOOK HOW KEWL DESE GRAPHICS ARE HURR DURR"

[theotherther1]

They weren't all good. My sister and I hated the Crash Bandicoot guy in a suit so much I didn't play the original games until 10 years AFTER they were cool.

This ad makes me want to play EWJ again though.

[ninjachipzanuff]

video game commercials back then were more edgy and funny

[asdqwezxcedcwsxqaz]

Grandmas on acid again
