How to sell video games to things that aren't men

[TKuja1]

On behalf of the british, I'm really sorry

[TheRealKitsune]

With all the times I've shopped at Gamestop, I don't think I've ever had an employee be that fucking helpful to me. Then again I'm a man, so maybe that's what I should expect from viewing this......ad? Oh shit, don't tell me this one of the pre-employment videos. Because if it is, god help those workers.

[GreggMays64]

Why not do research first?

[MalfunctionsSuck]

yeshmin music?

[IchigoKurosaki011]

Wii play uses a Wii remote? No frikkin' way, I would never have thought that myself.

[ninjamitsuki]

At my Gamestop, all of the employees are chubby middle aged women.

[ShinyMcshine]

...Please tell me this is a joke, all of this advice is horrible. "Turn a hunter into a gatherer"? Really? Let me tell you right now, if i'm looking for something specific, and someone tries to divert my attention or upsell me, there's a good chance you're sending the hunter back to the cave, dickweed.

The rampart sexism made me think this was from the 80s, until the Wii was mentioned, thusly my jaw hit the fucking floor.

[IchigoKurosaki011]

@ShinyMcshine Even worse when you see Mirror's Edge.. Wii was 2006, Mirror's Edge was 2008. :(

[IchigoKurosaki011]

@IchigoKurosaki011 Also near the end of 2008.. so this was probably made just before or just after 2009.

[Cheetah1251]

I love how the comments are more sexist/racist than the video.

"blah blah blah stereotype blah blah blah British accent blah blah blah women in kitchens blah blah blah"

[roflrandomguy]

6:21 is she sniffing that marker? really?

[kittehfoodz]

I guess they're trying to say... women are stupid?

[Pichu1232]

Really.. Really... just show girls a CM is Dead Space 2 and they will get it just like boys

[LeRoiSoleilLuv]

i've never felt more ashamed to be a female

[DarkRazorZ]

lol that guy is so lispy

[CircleJerks2009]

@DarkRazorZ its called mystery science theater 3000. ....or commentary

[WillieWallace92]

@DarkRazorZ Fruitbowls Man!

[CronyneWARE]

I tried to search for the original video, to get the voice off the actually funny commercial.

couldn't find it. Now I gotta deal with the third vioice of what's his face.

[ZanaBonanza]

I hate you, GameStop. I hate you so much.

[EdmacZ]

Besides the ironic and terrible message this horrible video is sending, What "gamer jargon" is the fuck she talking about? Surely she must be talking internet jargon and memes that are uttered in public by people who are socially awkward retards?

Not only is this video insulting to the customer, it's insulting to the employees too.

[noscreenname1]

That last guy blinked.

[KoyasuNoBara]

For some reason, the fact that the "instructor" is female just makes me feel even more insulted.

[Bassimastprime]

Ohhhhh boy

[88Meters]

My father told me about these disgusting little sewer creatures called women. I didn't believe him at first, but now I see.

[thatcutegameotaku]

fun fact. perhaps she doesn't have those systems. also, girls can actually like and be experts at video games. not some idiot. most of the people at anime boston are girls.

[hildegain]

"What questions should he ask next?"

Man: Pray thee let my hands be placed upon thy gargantuan breasts!

[werytrhey]

i cant belive this ad was around when the wii was

[iMasterMonk1483ee]

GameStop?

[rachelmacburnie]

@iMasterMonk1483ee GameStop=EBGames. Matters about your area.

[TheFatty2497]

"Here at game stop we like to stereo-type our customers!" That is what I got out of this video. And of course Diabetus' comedic genius.

[jsney20]

A Brain Age of 2 is really good though....

[801Milcah]

Wow, that is the most misogynistic instructional video I've seen!

My Aunt is 34 and shops at game stores and she won't appreciate being treated like that! There are women (seriously, 25-54 only?, what am I then?) that actually knows what they are doing when they are in a game shop ,,l,, -_- ,,l,,

[EpicFailGirl]

Women = middle aged women new to games.

[trumpeter811]

why would you want to make it to third base with her ?

[milleniumfrisbee]

Man I love gamestop, but I sure hope to high heaven that this is not a normal training video.

[posthumanfetus]

The English woman isn't condescending or pretentious at all. English people just all inherently come off that way unintentionally.

[CrimsonComms]

@posthumanfetus Ouch?

[posthumanfetus]

@CrimsonComms :D

[menacinghat]

@posthumanfetus

no english people talk like that anymore. we talk a little bit more like our ozzy friends now a days

[posthumanfetus]

I loved the "WOMP WAH WAH WAAAAHHHHMMM" followed by the "I just smelled vomit" face.

[xDisgaeaFanboi]

This lady is a massive tool.

[ChibiWaira]

Is this lady Boton?

[MsSigmaT]

Please tell me the original video was made for a joke... If not then I've lost all hope in humanity.

[PickpocketSan]

Though to be fair, judging by gamers from the internet, they DON'T know what a woman is. This video is, dare I say, a brilliant troll on the gaming community.

[PickpocketSan]

HOW WUMAN WORK?? WHAT ARE BRESTS?? CORPORATE ZOMBIE NOT UNDERSTUD WUMAN BEING..

[CrossEyed7]

Andrew and Jennifer have the same haircut.

[oleanderbrew]

;_;

[MrHomelessHank]

This is the first video I've ever heard Slowbeef alone and holy math I'm laughing so hard I can barely breath

[MrHomelessHank]

@MrHomelessHank Nevermind it's Diabeetus, my mistake.

[SymphoniaFan101]

This has made my day. I love this guy. xD

[Whowantspizza51]

Alex, did you kill Rita?

[spetnaz93]

why was there the constant sound of a clock ticking in the background? was it supposed to be symbolic of our rapidly dwindling sanity throughout the viewing of this video?

[VeiledPersona]

Haha this is fantastic.

[QuantumWalker13]

So, treating your customer as a child is preferable to talking to them as an intelligent human...I've been doing it wrong all these years.

[LastSasquatch]

hahah oh God you need to do more scripted RPs, this was amazing

[CrazyKirlia]

Why the hell is a woman narrating this? Has she no shame?

[vsnlps]

love the tags.



[koolblade35]

Good God... My father's been in retail for nearly 30 years at this point, and I had him watch this. He said that this is completely idiotic. You are never supposed to treat your customers differently based on demographics. Granted, he manages a Radioshack and customers who have no idea what they're talking about are the norm there, but STILL! It's sickening to think that the GS execs think that any female who walks into a store knows nothing and therefore must be babied. I am a guy. I hate this.

[World1Level2]

Should I find it ironic that they only showed NINTENDO products? (Not that I have anything against Nintendo)

[TheNinjaOfLove108]

Great, when's the part that I get to kick the scriptwriter in the balls? (Oh, EXCUSE me, make him a HAM SANDWICH.)

[DeadAtrocity]

WHY DOES THAT TUNE IN THE BACKGROUND SOUND SO FAMILIAR!

[NintendanGX]

diabetus should do more of these

[Kuronji]

Well the Wii was made in the 90s after all....

[MellowMink]

I thought this was decades old until I saw Mirror's Edge.

[DatWittyName]

@MellowMink I thought the same thing.

[ViolentSpring]

@MellowMink To think, this is from late 08/ early 09.

[larxeneluver]

I swear, I thought this was from the fucking 90's.

[TimStarz03]

Why hasn't this been aired on Discovery Channel? Planet Earth's got nothing on this.

[TheAbridgedGamer]

This makes me feel like i'm watching Animal Planet :P

[T00stoopid]

Fuck i'm getting a job at gamestop this week

If they make me watch this shit again it had better have your voice overs on it

[AwesomeFinder2]

Dude, i din't know womans didn't say dude.

[videogamenostalgia]

'A dislike for being condescended to'

Which makes this astronomically patronising video appropriate...how exactly?

[EcksDeeOneTwoThree]

This makes me ashamed to be a girl

[Domes03]

Did she sniff that marker at 6:22? xD

[IchigoKurosaki011]

@Domes03 Yes.. yes she did.. explains a lot. x.x

[deifufu]

If a girl isn't scene/a stupid cunt with her boyfriend and is in a Gamestop store, I'm pretty sure they know what they're doing, and don't need some kid with a bad haircut to tell them to buy shitty Wii sport games.

[KronikKINGx1]

I hope this deal is still going on, I want mario galaxy and a nice emo haircut.

[pikachugirl2]

So first GameStop rips me off and now it's about as welcoming to chicks as the friggin Dark World. :I I think I'm gonna just use Amazon from now on.

[BowWow452]

I'm not even joking when I say that THIS VIDEO MADE ME BUY MIRRORS EDGE. NOT EVEN KIDDING.

[Kuronji]

7:52

She blinked! Sketch ruined!

[toocoolsasuke77]

Wow GameStop... after watching this, I feel like I just got dick-slapped in the face because I'm part of the less fortunate populous that aren't men.

[Metruzero]

I think this was just a guide for employees on how they can help customers who are not well informed of video games... but wow did they do it wrong.

[thehaloring90]

"turned a $50 gift card to sharpening the mind and an up sale in the customer"

so baiscally you turned what she wanted into intimidation to up sale?

yea... ok...

[Doperwtje81]

Things I've learned from this video:

Women hide in bushes, cannot make up their minds about anything, are gullible to buying anything a man tells them to, need to be talked to like a child and only play childish games.

They're also, in fact, not men.

[faolan1313]

@Doperwtje81 Also, women don't mind being called subjects.

[bringrofmanyachuckle]

@Doperwtje81 You lost me at the "not men" part.

[CharlieGiaretta]

ironically a brain age of 2 is an incredibly exceptional brain age

[cosmicnavel]

Someone seriously made this?

[antisadism]

Diabetsu for president?

[MellowMink]

I thought this was decades old until I saw Mirror's Edge.

[Esupanitix]

Multiple original games on one disk.

Did we forget Action 52?

[Soragan]

@Esupanitix I'd LIKE to forget Action 52, but AVGN won't let me.

[Probablyacowtbh]

I hope she can no longer talk.

[weezyMarkeezy]

When he said BFF's I thought he was going to say BBW's.

[killedbyatreehugger]

"always have you chloroform nearby" words to live by sir

[SMRPGFAN101]

What I find funny is that a woman taught me how to play video games in the first place. My older sister had an NES with the Disney Capcom titles and would teach me how to play them.

[jhbmjfjhghm]

i hate this ad like seriously why would women struggle to shop for video games just because the majority of women dont play games and this was made when the wii was around really

[KatsFlip]

Wtf

[Tseuhadon]

Show of hands, who had the words "fucking" and "moron" come to mind within the first fifteen seconds of this video?

[AirConditioner23]

How old is this video? Because it seriously upsets me if it's serious.

And if women hate being' condescended to', I think this video might enrage them...

Seriously, there are better ways of 'expanding an audience'

[Paikerchu13]

@AirConditioner23

I'd say it's 3 to 5 years old.

[mrmorozov9]

"I'll gift YOUR card" is officially the greatest line ever spoken by a human being. Ever.

[XxMariofan21xX]

@mrmorozov9 "My sister's a failure of a human being who will die alone."

[strobelights9]

The spokeswoman has the face that makes you want to cut off her head and post pictures on the internet.

Then go to a game store and ask for wii games.

[CyberSlayer128]

Am I the only one who thinks its fucked up that these women actually went along with this with no problem with it?!

[mudkiprules4]

This is why I miss Game Crazy...

[DoubleA2015]

3:48 "Buy Mirror's Edge." XD

[DJBerserk]

When translated from Subtly Exploitive to English, the black puppet man says:

"You're clearly morbidly obese and spherically proportioned therefore I'd like to peddle your Pudginess, Queen Rotund, some Wii garbage that might possibly potentially make you slightly feel like you don't have double chin salsa on your face although you actually do!"

[thewonderfulwick]

Try telling the woman shopper to "sharpen the mind, shape the body" with some sort of patronising deal thing. That's all I'm getting from this.

[MegaAniLinkFan]

I laughed so hard! HOW CAN THIS BE REAL?! My favorite part was when the guy said Wii Play is also hard for adults...WTF?! I know 10 year olds that know how to play that crap. And why advertise magazines that have nothing, and i mean absolutely NOTHING about video games?!

This is sexist product advertsing at its finest. Oh yeah one more thing about gamestop. Some of them dont let you sell/trade games unless you are 18 yrs+. You can buy games at any age though. I'd rather hear navgtr.

[Hellbomb1342]

I swear I though this was from the 90s, but when I heard and saw the wii games I went wtf!? I have always hated gamestop and this gives me another reason why. That was just plain insulting to all women gamers.

[halosheepftw]

@Hellbomb1342 WTF! I thought this was 90s too!

[lilflom]

how much will they give me if i sell god of war 3

[MitchZer0II]

Ok, but how do I sell games to Herms and Trannies?

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

That chick at 6:50 looks like someone I know, who is, sadly, not the brightest crayon in the box. That made this video all the more hilarious to me.

[Cheetah1251]

Also, could this women be the mentally ill wife of ElectricalBeast?

[Douce1337]

i just noticed what the tags say lol

[sulsaboy]

Wow this video was so fucking weird...i prefer gameover...a place near me etc

[Goldbloodeddragon]

Gamestop is a joke.

[Xallys15]

At first, I gave this advert (?) the benefit of the doubt because I assumed it was from a while back due to the sub-par video quality. Then, I heard mention of the Wii. Dear. GOD. Also, I get the feeling the narrator doesn't realise she herself is a woman.

[TheSVSexton]

Wii play sucks. 

[ripamoram]

I like how that woman asks possibly the easiest question in video game history, what are some family friendly Wii games? The answer, uhm... All of them.

[b74k3]

here's what I don't trust and why:

1. GameStop: they keep their merchandise behind the counter

2. Activision: they don't really know what gamers want

[alakazam9891]

hahaha 2/3 of hollywood squares

[momoandmiz]

When I walk into a Gamestop, I got a dirty look from the male clerk and he was significantly less helpful to me than he was to a male.

[Leoofmoon]

Why isnt this video just called "how to sell games to moms"?!?

[Leoofmoon]

......is this mainly focusing women?.......

[saskia105]

ha that was funny, and i hate gamestop with a passion.

[UberNiftyMan]

I guess GameStop needs uninformed customers so they can sell their stock of crappy games like WiiPlay

[babypanda8u]

god, this is insulting... Shopping at Gamestop isn't a freaking Sierra puzzle, and women aren't some rare breed of customer :/

[PuLse285]

i am yet to find a blonde woman who is NOT a total dumb manipulative bitch :O

[FrozenTrain]

So, how much do you think they had to pay these,what were they called, "Females?", to come and participate in this video, I mean teaching them what to say and how to act around a store for "video games" must have been quite the challenge.

Seriously though, my question is, just how pathetic do they think gamers and even their employees are? What's more is that there are a ton of female gamers, i'm not even sure why this stereotype still exists.

[SuchAGreatLife]

Diabetus

I just wanted you to know that you are an amazing person

don't ever forget this.

[samo300]

No way...I thought this was some video from the 80's....then she came in asking for a Wii...

[the2ndsaint]

I can't honestly tell if this video -- the underlying video, not the RP -- is meant to be taken seriously or if it's actually satire. Holy shit.

[eggbandicoot6]

@the2ndsaint It's just some stupid promotion thing, nothing more.

[ChibiWaira]

I want Boton narrating my training videos.

[b74k3]

"This is not a slasher movie, stop doing that" XD too funny, also since when did GameStop start selling Cosmo?

[PsychicBluthSnake]

How can he pick up Wii play when Mario Kart is on the shelf!!! That is just stupid. No wonder he needs bloody training!!

[MARI06OO]

hey wait a minuet how did they get out of the kitchen long enough to go to gamestop?

[MagikGimp]

Don't these people realise everyone hates sales people who push crap onto you?

[Dimitri0809]

The reason women are annoyed with this situation was because they never took an interest in video games in the first place. And now they have suddenly realized that she likes games just because men only play them, she knows how to contradict herself.

[RiiidgeRaacer]

If this woman got any more smug sounding I'm pretty sure my face would be melting like in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[EbolaZidane]

Holy shit the guy playing the employee is ridiculous.

[funnykidyyz]

"every time you buy a game we won't kill a puppy" I lost it there

[Ebonytwinkle]

I happen to like the unspoken law about keeping these creatures called "women" segregated in the "Wii" and "DS" section of the store for their own safety...you know, cuz their heads might explode if they wander any further into man-territory!

God help us all if they get a hold of a game that isn’t teaching them how to cook or stay in shape!

[TheQuartzKid]

@Ebonytwinkle ...I'm a girl. I just got done playing lots of Zelda and a little bit of Halo. ... ... ...But that was funny as fuck! XD

Kudos to you, my friend. Kudos. To. You.

[IronNinja42]

this was extreemly sexist......... but pretty fucking funny!

[fluffymuffin212]

LMFAO!



[pyramidheadkitten9]

This wouldnt seem as bad if it werent for the fact htat it was pretty recent.

[Sylverias]

Its the up-selling and condescending that caused me to stop buying games from gamestop.

[DXslilgangsta]

Women are not people, they are devices built by our Lord Jesus Christ for our entertainment

[ChibiWaira]

Boton works at Gamestop?

[tiberianfiend]

And remember, Gamestop isn't just for men, it's also for women who are shopping for men.

[doppydufus]

Dude, Finally a worthwhile video on YT!!! I laughed till I cried. Great narration!

Can't believe Game Stop made this video, but at least one employee(ex-employee ?) of GS was smart enough to recognize bull crap when he/she saw it. Isn't the bigger problem that the prices at GS are substantially higher because they are in big malls.

[RobotKing27]

This is why so many gamestop employees are douchebags

[wlqos]

I still can't believe this was made when the Wii was out. I would've thought by then societal mores should've progressed further than the 1950's.

[LovelesEntertainment]

@wlqos

Thats what I thought... when I heard "Wii" I was like "WHA...?!" and saw "mirrors edge" I said "No fucking way is anyone this stupid nowadays."

[werebee]

@wlqos Little known fact. The Wii actually came out in the 50's.

[NKSPKI]

@werebee BUY MIRRORS EDGE

[HannahLover138]

oh my god this is the best. Gamestop has nothing on your commentary.

[kartoa1]

yep because i play video games to learn and be healthy.

[PsychicBluthSnake]

Should've got Ijustine to do this advert.

[maksie88]

Is... is that the music from Yeshmin Blechin's infomercials?

[SpartanOnFire]

Hey guys you ever notice how men have one reproductive system and women have another? I mean what's up with that?

[ZoomingDakota]

cli-TOR-is

You know for the longest time I thought that was how you actually said it?

[MicrosoftHiCi]

Initial overthinking jackass response: But a brain age of 2 is great!

[garfeildrules]

at first i thought this was an old training video untill i saw the games. i cant belive they would make something this stupid now days. women are people too!

[CandleJack1990]

Maybe it's just me but you can see half the actors in this thinking to themselves "I know I need the money but this is just insulting"

[Frozone470]

and the sad thing is this is the least corniest video I have ever seen

[MidgetClownPorn]

MaH brAEn aeg is 2!

[Methusael86]

I honestly find this a lot more funnier then most retsupuraes. Diabeetus's delivery is so awesome.

[thatsistheguy]

@Methusael86 The fact that he's doing this solo kinda helps. Diabeetus is more funny when he doesn't have others interrupting with their own jokes.

[dinojack9000]

I went to gamestop to buy a game, and I met an employee who had "deer-in-headlights" syndrome. He was so nerdy that he was afraid of the customer
