1986 Nintendo - Vintage 80's TV Commercial

[Hagler1987]

Bad Ass buttons. On the nes

[Mursilia]

Wooo nice graphics!

[rpm297]

That's a filthy lie! My parent didn't even know what it was, let alone hook it up. The 50's nerd has a NES. WTF were these commercial ppl thinking?

[intelligentsun]

That's bull crap!!! My parents never helped me set my Nes up! I had to plug it in to the good tv with the uv connection and put it on channel "3" all by myself.

[duncan7599]

In reality the cool kid would of beat up the nerd and taken his Nintendo.

[justicerevenge777]

a nerd and a bully..getting along in perfect harmony <3

[enuvune]

i was born in 2000. -.-

[emoxxxangelxxx]

@enuvune aren't you a little young for a youtube?

[blakfloyd]

A young Vanilla Ice saw this and the rest was history.

[MrSpemat]

I remember beating that game a million times and then it was a different world… UGJH

[sha370z]

every body had one in the 80s

[Python103]

wow that actualy hurts to listen to

[Icemangqx]

Cartridge is 'spose to be gold not grey. They're playing a bootlegged version of zelda from china.

[PhAtYMaStAMaTtY]

lol look at those graphics! SICK!!!!

[paulob0t]

HAHAH wait for see COD now XD

[DannyDaniel95]

ahh they don't make video game system Commercial's like the use to

[siikdUde]

wow what Great graphics!!!!!

[johnson1095]

@siikdUde

That made me laugh my ass off just thinking about what they were looking at compared to todays graphics lol!

[jkschlitz]

@johnson1095 Every once in awhile when I'm playing a modern game, I stop and think about how ridiculous the difference is compared to the games I played when I was a kid. It's crazy!

[VictorVonFox]

woh! nice graphics!!.....if only i had a time mechine to show them what they look like today

[akclan33]

yeah right ,its really hard too hook it up

[zbearo]

I like playing zelda..... On the wii anyways

[ThatLittleGinger]

"Wow look at those grafics!"

Hahahaha!

[kevmab909]

so thats where the avgn said it was familiar

[skipgk]

this is what we evolved from?

[matitias1]

what is the life of the nerd guy ?

[Mavericker7]

This proves why some white folks shouldn't rap. lol. jk.

[raffael85]

what a nerd ;o

[oppress1776]

i thought 4kids one piece rap was bad... this reached a new level of horrible...

[anastaisa100]

How the fuck would there old parents know how to hook it up? lol

[gunthe99]

The first Wii

[JRgamervideos]

"Your parents help you hook it up", really, I have the TV set to my PS3, and my mom goes "How can I get this so I can watch TV". Heheh, it's just natural for older generations to be not-so tech savvy.

[Evanmileus]

cool rap.

[MrQuader4]

Scatman John just rolled over in his grave. (bad rapping)

[spites1]

@MrQuader4 scatman is gay

[wingnut4427]

I'll bet these two never scored after this commercial. NEVER !!!

[MyOnlyFarph]

Women can play games too you know 1980s marketing people...

[StoneCold75]

Was that, rapping????...OMG Eminem as a child

[318i]

I was so waiting for the kid with glasses to say, "Uhhghaghaa Flavin!".

[motleyhar]

Commercials like this, as dumb and idiotic as they were, drove me absolutely nuts. I wanted a NES so freakin' bad.

[lifeisgoodenjoydaryd]

Remember when Zeldas game case was gold. That was some bad ass shit in the day.................. Shit son. I'm old as hell. Damn.

[lalapeanutbutter]

O.o black power buttons? I didn't know they came like that

[whatever3210]

the sega master system had better graphics than the nes

[baseballgod98]

this rap is better than rebeca black's "friday"

[rickraptor707]

@baseballgod98 agreed

[Talktothedick]

-_-

[therotiv4]

LOL

[BlinkinFirefly]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! so sad its hilarious

[LedWilde]

Back in the day NES graphics were the best around.

[mikekaraoke]

@LedWilde yea and master system but also amiga had better graphics that was a combo of computer games and home computer though bck in 1985

[LedWilde]

@JiflixIsGay I agree.

[LedWilde]

The NES was so incredibly easy to hook up to be honest. I didn't need my parent's help.

[jackmcslay]

I want an NES with black power/reset buttons

[bryan050593]

i wonder how these kids would react to dead space 2 or black ops

[MrJonjonthejon]

Is it just me or was the last level of that game was totally impassable to find?

[LedWilde]

@MrJonjonthejon Been a long time since I played but you have to bomb a wall somewhere to find level 9. It's tricky to find! I beat the game though. Not the second quest...

[inkredyble]

whoa nice graphics! hahah back then if they saw the graphics we have no...they would prolly shit their pants

[Funky787]

"Your parents help you hook it up!" My my, times have changed...

[littlejellybeanful]

How things change ;)

[TheMacMan35]

Your parents help you hook it up??? HAHAHA!!! Yeah right, my dad has a hard time finding the record button on the DVR for God's sake! Wow!

[Taino656]

your parents help you hook it up

[Twattler]

Yeah, Go Link! Get Some! - wasn't this meant to be marketed towards kids? lol

[motorhome1998]

I have that and the legend of Zelda was awesome

[captainclayman]

this is where the whole games are for nerds thing started.

[Gamebox27]

@captainclayman Spacewar was developed at MIT in 1960. You can't get much more nerdy.

[MrRolflol]

this song is pretty bad -_-

[super58173]

Sell the game by nerd. Smart choice.

[tarryhoot]

your parents hook it up, now its the kids who hook stuff up for the parents.

[CoreyIsAwesome1]

lol look at those grafics id like to get my hands on one of those he says haha

[toneset]

They just don't make them like they used to!

[Jacob42295]

whoa!! nice graphics!!

[tOOzinhO]

this ad was made for sale that game or to mock with people who actually bought it?

[fjccommish]

If those kids ever rapped like that in public they would have been killed. The courts would not convict, ruling a mercy killing.

[sleepy3d]

It's the legend of zelda and im here to say, i love fruity pebbles in a major way.

[justdoitasshole]

Now the kids have to help their parents hook it up!

[mattandrobarecool13]

omg i have one of thouse lol

[TheRealErob]

those creatures from ganon ARE pretty bad

[Frase]

That nintendo rap is way better than anything "lil wayne" has ever produced..

[XxBrainsuks123Xx]

@Frase lmfao 

[Cheeseisgood222]

those are great graphics? Wow, now a days, kids cnat think of shit worse than this

[Credithelper75]

I had one of these. This shit was high tech back in the day.

[wtftacooo]

"nice Graphics" have changed... stuff looks real...-ish

[MrFreedomFighter12]

fuck....we (gamers) have come a long way

[warstarterx]

This must be one of the reasons why years ago video games players were considered nerds!

[Picu97]

When he said "nice graphics" I thought he was being sarcastic LOL

[DocOck]

Did you see the latest nintendo newsletter?-

No sorry man, I was out getting laid.

[DrNo0Entertainment1]

That kid just wanted the nerds Nes 

[steveexplodes]

the rap made me think this was a commercail for faces of evil.

[10dimensions]

Kind of neat that the kids are advertising a generic NES game and they only edited in a specific game later. I wonder if they ever reused the footage of those kids for a different game?

[leopardseals]

"Go Link. Yeah. Get some."

[JaminHell]

sounds like Rap? but its from the 1986...was Rap invented in the 80's??

[DrNo0Entertainment1]

@JaminHell I think thats when it started if not then I got my facts wrong

[SINthetikTerror]

@CaptCrewSock

Wife's name, actually, but good attempt at being funny, you nearly had me.

[CaptCrewSock]

@SINthetikTerror

Couldn't resist...Cheers

[bettypro]

my ex husband spent the first 2 yrs of our 25 yr marriage playing zelda.....i shoulda left then...

[odisus69]

my parents never helped me hook up anything, i as kids we somehow knew how to hook up gaming systems

[zefdakingnohomo]

that kid needs some smaller glasses

[thesouthrapsucks]

they rapbetter than lil wanye

[ScArKiLLa45]

i would not buy this if i saw the ad. haha

[CaptCrewSock]

For the WICKY WICKY WICKY part they should have shown a kid blowing into the game cartridge to get it to work!!!

Am I right?

[spaddad]

@CaptCrewSock

LOL...True, True.. I think Pepsi and Dorito spit was the preferred lubricant.

[CaptCrewSock]

@spaddad

That's nasty but true. Do you remember the Game Genie? I remember making up codes for double dragon and it would make them jump up and when you pressed forward you could skip the whole map.

[simwrangler]

@CaptCrewSock

LMAO!!! I remember me and my brothers doing that all the time when the game wouldn't come on. But blowing into the game seem to work though.

[WebVMan]

@CaptCrewSock No, he would have to say "Come on! WORKY WORKY WORK!"

[0BobHaltaf0]

last time i checked , bullies dont play video games with nerds....they sorta bully them.....thats why there called bullies....duh......

[kelleyjane07]

@0BobHaltaf0 he was usin the nerd for his nintendo lol

[Gamebox27]

@0BobHaltaf0 The nerdy guy with glasses just got done doing the other guy's homework. The guy with the jean jacket just came over to pick it up and read the nerd's magazine.

[fivedollerfootlong]

Wow, they really are nice graphics. This might be better than xbox360.

[basserase]

I had one of these when I was eight, but my parents wouldn't help me hook it up until I was eighteen. They kept telling me it was the law but I found out later they were lying. I still hate them. My psychiatrist let me play with one but only during visiting hours.

[havlorech]

Back in the old days, cool kids and nerds coexisted peacefully, sharing in activities such as video games and rapping poorly.

[gandolfuss]

Homie got mad flow...

[edhehe]

soooo this is where average homeboy got his material from!! !!

[asdfgoogle]

omfg..... are you fucking kidding? "your parents help you hook it up" lmao.... hahah

[TomthatiscalledTom]

The blonde nerd later became known as the 'Nintendo Slasher' after his friend discovered the 'nice graphics' of girls bodies and he was left alone playing Nintendo, hour after hour, day after day...it taught him that life has only one meaning: hunting and killing things. Lurking in dark alleys with his axe, the last thing his victims heard before being chopped to pieces was 'Wicki, Wicki Wik!"

[unfortunatebeam]

@TomthatiscalledTom nice graphics of girls bodies??

[skullythebloger]

@TomthatiscalledTom It's heard that his axe gives an extra 500+ intellegance boost.

[Rewcasel]

YEEEEEEEEEEEA BOI!!! BREAK THAT SHIT DOWN!

WUT!

[HansCent]

@feuerfreiiii - the graphics are intense! sooo rad!!

[eggbertsmith]

I was unable to hook it up by myself.

[SINthetikTerror]

It's typical how some people are commenting on this video saying it had bad graphics...because clearly, in 1986, they had the technology to render graphics the same way that the PS3 or XBOX 360 did - the computer technology back then wasn't nearly that advanced, don't be ridiculous. This level of idiocy is about on par with people laughing at those from hundreds of years ago who thought the Earth was flat.

[CaptCrewSock]

@SINthetikTerror

And whats your girlfriends name again???

[1legomaster]

its like i bring my ps3 back too the 80's. LOL

[nerdflanders8710]

what poindexters

[syngar99]

@nerdflanders8710 yeah but better than the hoodrats we have now. vulture sure has turned...ahem..dark.

[c0nn0r1f]

This makes CD-I look good.

[MyCuddles101]

Lmao ! They think games r great back then ;P they don't know what a xbox is

[colbygarrrett]

ahhhhh the 80's :'D

[pdownton79]

ha ha the graphics we used to regard as great pmsl !!!! an i am sure thetas jedward there !!!

[Darby21222]

they say awesome graphics i say that game has the worst graphics i have ever seen in my whole entire life

[martiriobaby]

@Darby21222

Atari 2600 was worst...

[syngar99]

@Darby21222 all 10 years of it?

[Rankpenguin]

Yeah, 8-Bit graphics are pretty nice.

[TechyDragonBoy]

worst graphics these days



[TomthatiscalledTom]

Everyone laughed at the blonde nerd. All through high school kids called him 'Beavis four eyes' and cried 'wicky wicky win!' when he walked past. He couldn't understand why girls he liked wouldn't date him even when he said 'Whoa nice graphics!' in reference to their pretty faces. But no one laughed 20 years later when the remains of 30 missing women were dug by the cops from under his basement. Playing Nintendo nonstop had taught him that life has only one purpose: hunting and killing things

[MrPuber123]

Lol nice graphic

[TheZmanShow]

what would happen if i brought my xbox360 back to the 80's? who knows

[redsun1211]

wow the nerds are going love this

[taurusfroggy]

it's amazing how far technology has evolved in the past 25 years

[theglenlivet12]

Lets leave the rapping up to the black people

[GoofyBK]

im raping your mom oh no she likes it =]

[legokratos]

"woah nice graphics!" yeah i'd like to time travel to the 80's with my ps3/360, hook it up & play FF XIII

[chingon99999]

[fezmovies]

See kids, Nintendo is for cool kids AND nerds

[bumpdump7]

[wwashington81]

[lowaces]

[hugothenerd]

Wow those guys are so awesome!

[solinvictus159]

Nice Graphics!

[TestrisMan]

the nerds voice reminds me of fogell from superbad.

[paulmlg2010]

*looks at his 360* "...Oh Thank God."

[eduardo0796]

WOW NICE GRAPHICS? Just in 80s :D

[tigerboy1227]

wtf is up with the black power and reset buttons?

[Dremple]

Gotta blow on the cartridge to get it to work...ahhh technology

[Nick0ps2]

lol nerds were thought to be cool 25 years ago???

[cladiax1]

im sorry im going to stick to my Atari

[The305felix]

"WOW, NICE GRAPHICS!!" fucking faget rofle rofle

[Network420dotcom]

sick freestyle..... wicky wicky wicky

[kornstew]

almost 30 years later, and those two are still sitting on the couch, playing original nintendo, fat as hell, single, no jobs, and.... you guessed it. lovers.

[whoandtheha]

[Dragoonknight717]

[Sheepy007]

[TearsAreLikeArsenic]

[limeymanftw]

[teege911]

5 second mark the blonde reminds me of MCLOVIN

[Rickyrolled]

Your parents help you hook it up! One of my friends laughted really much wwhen i talked about this commercial.

[Rmazer555]

Your parents help you hook it up? I could hook this thing up when I was 2

[85buickV8]

usually my parents had more trouble hooking things like this up than I would

[asdfgoogle]

@Rmazer555 It's probably because you learned how. Obviously unless you can proficiently read instructions or are a genius, you needed their help at least the first time.

[zelda180]

@Rmazer555 Same here....
