Blur TV ad

[peacelovecookies24]

"Racing's not about winning! It's about making friends!"

*punch*

"Shut up Pinky!"

[prestonhalle]

cracked.com brought me here and mario kart is better

[fufic]

mario kart is fucking pussy shit!!mushroom!!TOAD SHELL BULLSHIT CRAP!!!CUTE GAMING NO THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!1

[ChaosMew161]

And now you know why this game failed. It had potential, and then it went down the toilet.

NOT. GOOD. MARKETING.

[Leondrift93]

@ChaosMew161 it did more than fail. Bizzare creations who made Blur went Bust a couple of months afterwards. its sad really. it was and still is one of my favourite games :'(

[discomanblahblahblah]

mario kart suck's ball's blur destroy's those ball's

[khav11]

@discomanblahblahblah you fucking retarded lmfao this game is a overhyped game mario kart will remain a classic you stupid fat kid

[Damian0Damian123]

Hahahahaha so funny oh my so funny.

[DennisHou132]

I actually rather to be playing Mario Kart.

[Plastiware]

Rainbows? Making friends? Pinkie?!

I think I like where this is going.

[EnterTheNoodle1]

its mocking mario kart. but mario kart is proberlies better than this game anyway

[mariomoney1001]

that kid that thinks his race is weird looks like toad lolol

[TheMetalGearChick1]

This commercial reminds me of the old Sega ads.

[ew275x]

I prefer Mario Kart, but this is a good parody.

[TheNinwii]

kind of funny, but it wont necessarily relate to mario kart. in the start, i was like "what?" then i understood. kinda cool in fact, didnt "pinky" race?

[UltimateXShadow]

That is such a cute Toad parody.

[fuljen0326]

5 years down the road i would still be playing mario kart

[shimmikins]

@fuljen0326 i still play the orig which was released almost 20 years ago..

[mariomesser]

This commercial is so good that it got me back into racing games. If it wasn't for this I would never have beaten Mario Kart Wii to the fullest!

Thank you blur commercial makers for making me play the game you're making fun of!

[nerfmaster329]

69 people took Pinkys advice.

[Ncs666]

@crashtubes I don't care about graphics very much at all, my favorite game is minecraft. Minecraft has horrible graphics but is still an amazing game.

[Nayega]

Haha I love this,

[Ncs666]

This ad is so true, I hate these cartoony kid games which is why I hate nintendo wii because almost all wii games are like this.

[crashtubes]

@Ncs666 Yeah and I hate mono-syllabic brats who don't realise that graphics ain't everything.

[derschlauepeter]

Huh. Well, they certainly know how to appeal to the 14-year-old crowd. Good going, I guess.

[martbash]

i hav this im lvl 4 prestige

[AnthonyTheAwesome500]

@martbash do people still play this game online?

[BoringLoginName]

Oohhhh. Snarky.

Well, not. Sega's Game Gear ads were much funnier back then. Still want to play Blur, but only because I heard about it before this crappy work.

[spammthis]

Bye Bye Bizarre

[SergeantLuke]

Am I the only one who would rather play the kart racer?

[kimmoorehand]

@SergeantLuke nope

[Lazyboy0337]

Anyone else have the urge to play Mario Kart now?

[predstoric]

@samplane123 u suck

[AluKillYou]

Anyone noticed that pinky says "blur" when get punched?

[SourChickenz]

pause at 0.23 hahaha

[nightwatch254]

Racing not about winning its about making friends! Ow! Shut it Pinky! LOL!

[omglolwtfmudkips]

Ironically this ad is true.

[RickyAFlores]

This game is awesome

[grievous056]

It's pathetic that the only way for most gamers to take a game seriously is if it's some ultra gritty ultra realistic mess, with no hint of originality. 

[Hollenvaen]

@grievous056 How is Blur taking anything seriously? It's about being ridiculous as opposed to anything...

[iPaulTube]

OMFG STFU This is taking a shot at Mario not Modnation Racers!!

[Grandy12]

You know, this Ad could have been a great parody... if they took 'Race like a big boy' line away.

It's the little detail that crosses the line between ''Hey, our styles are different but the basic gameplay is the same, give us a shot!'' to ''nyer nyer nyer you suck''

[Super7abib]

love this ad , and blur , the game just rocks/<...

[Exarian]

it's obvious the writers of this never got hit by a blue SHELL I'll KILL YOU JERKS I WAS FIFTY FEET FROM THE FINISH AND I SAW THAT THING HOVERING OVER MY HEAD LIKE THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES THEN I WAS JUST SITTING THERE IN LAST PLACE!

[refresh967]

@Exarian what a dork and a loser

[Exarian]

@refresh967 can't sense sarcasm...

[crashmin64]

I don't like them bashing mk, but still it made me laugh "shut up pinky!" lol

[shadowplayer1980]

Do "big boy" racing games have the Blue Turtle Shell of the Apocalypse? Didn't think so. So patooie on Blur!

[Renceau]

Stupidest commercial ever. If you want to "race like a big boy", play Gran Turismo, not Blur.

[predstoric]

@Renceau ummm shut up NOW

[Renceau]

@predstoric Sorry, invalid argument.

[Goomba4001]

Toad was always the rogue one.

[RamRay1234]

Love this ad! Great game too.

[Stopmotionist]

It isn't about Mario Kart specifically; it's about the kart racing genre in general. And kart racing games do tend to be pretty lame.

[ZaikuZERO]

Lame parody is lame. Mario Kart is a great game, just because it isn't realistic doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed for what it is. There are far better realistic racers than blur that I've played in my time. But that's enough of my fanboy rage. XD

[Fishandchipsguvnah]

Well, someone's not too familiar with Mario Kart...

[jaw2floor]

LOL! BEST AD EVA!!1!

[Dillon959]

omg this is so gay this is a Direct insult to Mario Kart, trust me Mario Kart is nothing like this baby crap we see on this. Mario Kart has been around longer and always will be around, Nintendo better take action against this.

[Shadoboy]

Whoever made this commercial obviously never played Mario Kart. "Racing is not about winning?". Spiny Blue Shells disagree.

[RepulsedFix]

@Shadoboy It is not supposed to be Mario Kart, it's kart gaming in general. Both games may be great. But this ad is still awesomw

[KERRY2014]

AWESOME!, KOOL!, FUNNY!, KICK-AZZ COMMERCIAL! :D

[110077adam]

They should put this on TV

[luishem]

@110077adam It Is on TV

[Dillon959]

@110077adam it is on tv

[Treyworld]

Grand Turismo and Mario Kart are still better than this.

[micalishis]

@Treyworld that is your opinion. i bought the game and its actually pretty good. its got more races than mario kart and believe it or not but the graphics are actually pretty amazing!

[tekssx]

Lmao

[coq50]

C'est de la provocation sur mario kart, c'est parfaitement nul en plus

[felixleowner]

lmao!! shut up pinky lmao

[JamesBobbyDReed]

He punched Barney in the gut

[TheMusicKing0906]

toad's evil twin is my new hero :D

[neon6]

You guys should read Reggie's comments on this commercial. They're hilarious.

[MentallyAcidic]

@neon6 where is the reggie comment huh?

[neon6]

@MentallyAcidic Just Google search "reggie blur". Most sites have already picked up on it. Here's what he said: “You know, God bless the folks at Activiison. They have a sense of humor. I do not…They are doing GoldenEye for us. You know what? Bobby and the team at Activision are fantastic partners, but no I don’t like my kids being picked at. I don’t think any proud parent would like their kids being picked at.”

[neon6]

@MentallyAcidic It's funny because it's contradictory from he said on how the Wii is for the whole family and seems to imply only kids play the Wii.

[Dlowz]

Ahahah, awesome ad

[ironcow64]

why is for big boys if its rated e and to be fair the first game looked awsome XD the broccoli head needs anger managment classes XD get btr soon 'pinky' XD

[chaodragonofitaly]

@ironcow64 Yeah, I was like. "Well...It may be lame, but I still wanna play it. :C"

I liked the sunflower that got like, five seconds of screentime the best. I would always race as them. xD

[harris3693]

This is why mario and nintendo suck ballz!!!

[SuperSaiyanSonic75]

@harris3693 I'm against you completely.

[usernamec05a]

I laughed so hard after 0:17

[MrAntoPark]

If it's for big boys...why is it rated E for everyone....?

[ChainsawGenie]

[E 10+] actually. ^_^

And it may be because the cars have no drivers - no injuries/foul language = no [M] rating.

(Although truth be told, that 'rule' need only apply to the 'characters', not the players.) ~_^

[micalishis]

@ChainsawGenie actually there are drivers, your cars get wrecked and games are better without foul language (In my opinion)

[iloveshaycarl1]

I can't pass this level ahhhhh

[iloveshaycarl1]

Love my game butni

[ali8283]

This is an excellent trailer. They are making fun of Mario and the Wii. xD

[jejejif]

Basically what this commercial boils down to is... if you play Mario Kart you have teh ghey.

[0blackflame0]

hahaha first time i saw it made me crack up

[milun2]

What's wrong with the first game?

[ChaosBladewing]

Confession Time!

Who is here from TV tropes?

[Anonymous1337lulz]

pinkey got pw3nd

[MKWCharls]

i lol at that video

[bran206]

they ruined this ad with " race like a big boy"

[refresh967]

@bran206 exactly

[dadoomed]

@bran206 They didn't ruin it, this ad was meant to appeal to teens, that's why they added it in. Everything in this ad is meant for it to make teens want to buy it, and i doubt you wouldn't want to buy it just because they added "race like a big boy". Anyways, amazing ad!

[TheBatOuttaHeaven]

That guy sounded like Towlie.

[GoldenCreekValleyRR]

i sort of feel sorry for pinky. he didnt know better.

[miikkael100]

lol

[holyfuck444]

Shut up , PINKY !!! LOL

[Chewie31790]

Wow, sadly enough all this ad made me want was to play the cartoon game and not blur lol!

[1AmN0tACr00k]

(Punch in the gut) shut up pinky!!

[adam0509]

poor pinky ='(

[legomovieman94]

Pinky is wrong! Mario Kart has Nothing to do with making friends, and anyone who has had a blue shell shoved up their arse at the last second will probably get what I'm saying. XD

[zioboby]

the italian ad says "fuck you, pinky" censored with a beep

[knet4you]

super cool commercial i think i go buy the game

[zertyahya]

its not mocking mario kart but modnation racer from ps3 because it was release same time as this game

[Kgula]

@zertyahya Modnation racer doesn't look all that cutsey... not like what they are showing, its making fun of Mario Kart that's obvious seeing as Blur is a Mario Kart with real cars and destruction and a realistic setting, so Blur is in a way Mario Kart for a more mature audience

[jaydeep123453]

hey i would be pissed to if i was racing in those messed up car all the time !

[karkelkhan]

'shut up pinky' :D

[khalilasbro]

hmm so lessoned learned from this commercial that kids will pick up.

1. it isnt cool to make friends and realize it is a game

2. the smaller guy punching the larger fat guy is the cool one

3. to be a big boy i have to blow shit up and rebel.

yeah, no wonder 2012 is going to be the end....

[ZurkonTheDestroyer]

Am I the only one who just laughs at how retarted the pink guy is and how he talks?

[livelaughlove22ilusm]

I got the game and it's really fun for u racing people this a good game for you:)

[Doom2Guy]

And yet I'd rather play the cutesy game

Realism is boring

[yahoozle123]

PINKY FTW

[DonRaggo]

bad ass funny !!!! shut up pinky - bleurgh- lmao.

[twannie1997]

Well, i want to be a big boy, but i am already with NFS :D

[DarkWobbuffet]

Is it weird I now wanna play as a tree driving a race kart?

[cuddlydragons123]

racings not about winning, it's about making friends

shut up pinky!

[MrWatson94]

SHUT IT, PINKY! *PUNCH*.

Love it :)

[1pezzi2]

the advertisment is really funny

einfach nur geil :P

[dildaman1]

Lol he punched him to early

[GoldenArcher96]

This ad is obviously attacking Mario Kart, which I'm a fan of...

...But this ad is still awesome for me. XD

[rosa411]

Being a Mario Kart fan, I approve of the advertisement.

[iloveshaycarl1]

Lov the game

[CMyEnis]

Blur kicks mario karts ass.

Quality ad.

[MaximumImpact94]

To all the nintendo fanboys who actually got angry at this ad:

IT'S.

ONLY.

A.

JOKE

Seriously, nowadays when anyone makes a joke about a game, the fanboys consider it to be blasphemy.

[MandibleMuge]

I don't think this ad is particularly saying mariokart sucks, (they're very different games) it's comparing the settings. I'm no hard core racing gamer, but I think this ad (and game) is pretty badass, and it's humourous too.

(And yes, by ad I mean commercial.. And no, I'm not british >_>)

[CrashGordon94]

I must say, I found this on the TV Tropes page for Shallow Parody.

While that's somewhat true, Blur looks like a really awesome game (and the beta is the greatest demo I've ever played) and the commercial has a point (as much as I love "kiddy" games and hate the GRIMDARK movement, I prefer slightly more serious racing games).

Plus, it made me laugh, I find it hard to hate anything that makes me laugh. :P

[stersth]

Haha, I really like this commercial! Best ever:P But, Mario Kart is also coolxD This fake game was worse then mario kartxD

[SkullShadeSonic]

i saw this. this is definately the best commercial. Beleive it or not, my dad plays MarioKart Wii with stuff like clan wars. I showed my dad this commercial. He thought it was fking hilarious!

[BDcoldsniper]

racing is not winning it's about making friends (punch) shut it pinky lol

[iloveshaycarl1]

Love the game!

[Moving4Motion]

i'm loving blur but it aint no mario kart!

[fromwater]

If everthing's a blur, how can you see? If you can't see how can you race? And it's so dark you can't see anything at all anyways, yeah, what now blur what now?

[MattySP34Ks]

lol this advert is a win....walks over....racings not all about winning son its about making friends...punch lol

[marcianito88]

yay i want to be mature and play blur

[naarakyuu]

making fun of mario kart, broccoli is toad and pinky is yoshi.

[Tattooz79]

Cool shit!

Game is hot, feels like the movie DeathRace!

[Alexgamer03]

@ShadowAssault007 And Temposama. Why is Your Current Disscusion about mario kart and not blur?

[petujaymz]

Pinky is GAY

[pspportals4u]

"racing's not about winning its about making friends"

"shut it pinky"

[ShadowAssault007]

thsi game was soo freaking sexy on the beta man , i cant wait 2 play this man 

[Superduperhog]

come to the dark side... lol

[Claudsss]

Awesome vid, but I still love Super Mario Kart to death :)

[hodebry13]

SHUT IT PINKY!!

[dylanS1o]

Nintendo R Gonna B On Activisions Ass Now

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

This ad is so funny because I thought we were over this after the mid 1990s. It's like a commercial for the Sega Genesis or 3DO! It's also funny that this game is rated E10+, so it's mature like Poochie is. I guess emo broccoli is the next Awesome Possum.

[Cidthulhu]

So the pink dragon is supposed to be Bub from Bubble Bobble. Where does Activision get off thinking they can rip on a classic like that?

[MarioWars]

Maybe we wouldn't suck at Brocolli Boy's Racing Rumble if SOMEBODY didn't try to play with

BUSHY

GREEN

HAIIIR

[insertswear]

I ONLY PLAY MATURE RATED GAMES FOR HARDCORE GAMERS SUCH AS MYSELF

[Cidthulhu]

@insertswear But it's rated E10+.

[ultimatefaith2]

why didnt they make a Death Race game?

[gunnerjaxx]

@ultimatefaith2 cause they be rippin off the movie and they already did that with twisted metal

[braaaainz]

@ultimatefaith2 they have. its on the NES. but it pre-dates the movie with statham

[greensnake00]

saw this advert on the first day it came out pissed my self at racing not about winning its about making friends shut up pinky and race like a big boy

[KIDBIue]

lol saw this advert yesterday, so funny.

[EvileLlamaThingeh]

It's hilarious firstly because it's a hilarious commercial, Props for that.

And secondly because Mario Kart still >> This.

[kc1597]

yeah i played mariokart and got bored so quickly there is no competition. it is so easy. my ps3 racers are better. i dont even use my wii anymore! lol wtf? racing is never about having fun! it is about winning! at the end when the that guy punched the pink thing. he should have f*** off.

[imrealyboredbro]

THUMBS UP for that KNOCK OUT

[jodeteputarata88]

yassir16 xbox 360 lvl 26 Blur :D

[costumrobo]

man does anyone know where i can find the background theme??

[DrunkleShane]

Pink Thing: "Racing is not about winning, it's about making FRIENDS!"

Green Toad-Thing: "Shut it PINKY!! *punches Pink Thing*

LOL!!

[pakipantha]

i remember watching tv and seeing this ad forthe first time, i thought it was another mario style game and when it said shut it pinky i couldnt stop laughing i was creasing. i have to give it to them thats a good way of advertising i also like that dairy milk advert with the gorilla!!

[somario300]

that green guy looks like toad

[Deltikon]

@somario300 Indded, but instead of being a mushroom, he's a brocolli ^^

[Ajs2512]

in MY OPINION this beats mario karts in every way possible :)

[lsartam]

Hahajajahahajaja
