Phil Hartman Wigs Out for Hockey for Atari 2600

[ChernobylTaco]

"I FUCK YOU BY ACTIVISION"

[pirate78118]

The graphics seem laughable compared to today's games but back then they were state of the art graphics. Everyone was in disbelief how technically advanced the graphics were.

[StretchRhys]

RIP Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz and the namesake for Phillip J. Fry

[buttercremehonda]

Awesome. Simply awesome. Thank you for making my day YET AGAIN PHIL. And thanks to you Sasha. RIP Phillip J. Hartman

[canadianscot06]

Miss that man.

[101mlbiggs]

"ICE FUCKING BY ACTIVISION!!"

[PchanStitch]

Activision. Trying to appeal to the 'tough guy' since the 1980s.

[usernameeiinvalid]

So hardcore.

[ledawg1138]

This was Oscar worthy

[weirdalinstrongbadia]

@flashfire320 NO! COD SUCKS!!!!

[GustavoMsTrashCan]

I wonder how this commercial would like... If they remake It today.

That'll be like... "ICE HOCKEY BY ACTIVISION - CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE"

[flashfire320]

now just go back in time and give them cod black ops im pretty sure everyone will die of shock

[dcfan1107]

damn, phil hartman reminds me of hal, the dad from malcolm in the middle.

[b1z2a3]

Ice Hockey for 2600 was better than any Call of Duty

[TBTabby]

This would've worked for Ice Hockey on the NES. 2600...not so much.

[wolffrost]

lol try to imagine people doing this kind of commercials but with gears of war

[HYPNOGLANCE87]

i dont think hes ready i think hes ready to be sent to the koo koo's nest

[oculto1234567]

I saw this commercial on "activision hits remixed"

[KISSarmyGuy]

@newlegokid117 For doing what you want to do...yes your normal.

[bobbobato]

What are adults from the 1980s doing playing video games?

[tsan76]

@bobbobato The same thing adults are doing playing video games today, I suppose.

[kakashi76767]

@bobbobato what the fuck else was there to do?

[romuluscreative]

holsey hellsnell I just saw phil in something i hadnt seen before awesome

[ninjaphile]

@BLACKbarfGhost57 I'm sorry, I didnt realize that I would have to explain myself...

Clearly, I was jesting at the fact that, despite being a relatively new video game, Black Ops has inferior graphics to many video games that came out before it (hence, the joke). The common link here is the publisher, Activision, which made both of those games. I can explain further, if you require such.

[ninjaphile]

Wow...those graphics were better than Black Ops'...

[SunsetSupermanRMB]

Lol, I remember cashiers saying, "Cash or charge".

[Jonrox1973]

@SunsetSupermanRMB lol how about 'paper or plastic?'

[WanderLink]

Please...Phil Hartman would have played the Intellivision.

[Zorica12]

I'm scared now.

[HypnoToad72]

I was hoping they'd passionately kiss at the end... :(

[Foamhead]

After watching this commercial, I think it is safe to say that EA if F*cked when this game is released.

[Punkrock3011]

It souned like he said I fucking buy activision lol

[ACDCISCOOLNESS]

I loved him as the voice of Blast PS1 game...  I just uploaded me playing it to my ch...Enjoy Phil Fans Merry Christmas!! I miss him as well... Funny guy...

[taranchula97]

Commercial: WOAH THIS GAME IS INTENSE!!!! YOU MUST GET IT!!!!

Actual game: blip. boop. bleep. beep. yay.

[MattTheSaiyan]

Actvision was the best third-party publisher for the Atari 2600!

[whONeEDZNaDeZ]

@MattTheSaiyan Now there just money whores

[thesparta1812]

this reminds me of that family guy episode where peter does meth Lol

[playgoog]

I would've like to see hartman play the "anal retentive hockey player"

[km9OOO]

@playgoog Or Unfrozen Caveman Gamer. "I'm frightened by your high-tech graphics."

[Ibhenriksen]

It almost looked like they were going to make out

[nachodemon666]

-I'M TOTALLY FUCKING READY !!! I´M TOTALLY FUCKING READY FOR THIS OWESOME GAME !!!

-Ok... but...

-SHUT UP YOU FUCKING ASS HOLE AND GIVE ME THAT FUCKING GAME NOW !!!

ICE HOCKEY BY ACTIVISION !!! NOW I GOING TO RAPE YOUR MOTHER !!! AAAAAAARRRRHG !!!

[TheLoadingScreenz]

That commercial's much more intense than any commercial Activision makes today for Call of Duty.

[Terjay]

The best thing is that this game is a piece of shit.

[aboltyfh]

Hartman was GREAT!

[lavverlylad]

He's like the dad from 'Malcolm In The Middle' here.

[ICEMAN595]

The ending to this commercial is the icing on the cake. It's so damn good.

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

lol, this is great....... phil R.I.P.

[LionsEdge]

Wow this would have totally made me want to buy this game at the time lol.

[mardfet]

YEAH WHOA!!! ICE HOCKEY BY ACTIVISION actual game: doot, blip.

[AyeOkNowFuckOff]

simpson guy.

[IamPersonMan]

damn, why cant we gave good commercials like this nowadays?

[wavecrashes]

this is the best video game ad ever made

[mudball10]

the speed of the game is too intense

[JZimm8787]

I loved this game! Intense graphics!

[chrisz31974]

It was sweet back in the day, and still fun to play

[bronc30td]

Genius. RIP Phil Hartman.

[waveali]

Phil was great... RIP

[FrodoSaves]

Poor Phil Hartman, the world truly lost a comedic genius when he passed away. RIP, our dear Troy McClure.

[Chief70]

lol, I didn't know the 80s had funny commercials

[kemosabi4]

I love when he goes "AARRAAHHH!!!!" at 0:17

[kemicon]

@kemosabi4 That was actually Howard Dean (obsolete joke)

[somervillekid16]

isn't he also the voice of waldo in the van halen hot for teacher video?

[jethropu]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting!!!

[discoder]

"ICE HOCKEY BY ACTIVISION!!!!!!!!"

Now, that's intensity.

[nuwavevidspud]

This is a classic. R.I.P. Phil Hartman

[Tornado1994]

@nuwavevidspud Ironically 10 years later, he was forced to star in some lame commericals for the CD-I.

[nuwavevidspud]

@Tornado1994 I saw the ads, fortunately the lame Zelda games with the talking Link were mercifully left out from the commercials

[clapnot1]

I'M READY !!! I'M READY!!!

[dylanfan1969]

3 words. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.

[deadendkid1968]

I remember when Phil Hartman and Shadoe Stevens were both Wacky stereo Salesmen on local TV in Pheonix in the 80s

[Hoochie2122]

140,000 views!

w00t!:D:D:D

[notyoursavior78]

"ICE HOCKEY BY ACTAVISIONZ!"

The only commercials that are as good as this one are Pole Position and Berserk.

[bashioum]

you think Phil was on blow during this commercial?

[DXSnakeEater]

I'M READY!!! I'M READY!!!!!

[Thrasher9294]

I think this is my favorite Atari Game commercial.

[unsolved92]

what year was this?

[jatroup12]

I'm guessing 1981 - 1982 ish. I remember having the ATARI 5200 when I was a kid in the early 80s. Wow, I had the coolest system in my neighborhood!!! Joust, Defender, Missile Command...I had it ALL!!!!!!!

[mdrums821]

good thing nhl 94 was way in the future...

[alphaotakux]

lol

he would have a stroke

[DSCKSR]

WOW !!! I had this game!! good boring times !!

[cjvs1604]

RIP Phil

[elmacbee]

I love Phil!!

[jgpeppers]

Phil Hartman puts all the other SNL castmembers to shame...so fucking funny.

He helped both SNL and the Simpsons reach their comedic heights.

[neon6]

Sorrry, Mr. Hartman. Screaning won't convince me to buy this game...though it makes people smile.

[burr1aj]

The game was actually pretty good, all things considered.

[PharcydePhreak]

epic as fucking shit.

[hjrijkaard]

Legend.

[mrmonty86]

HI I'M TROY MCCLURE

[expungebob]

Only bested by Ice Hockey on NES

[MikeDunn]

Where is the one where Phil Hartman does Bill Clinton at McDonalds?

[kanshou]

Love the wood paneling. Phil's talent was unique.

He's so adorable.

[Sticktator]

[petervuu718]

[Anon1696]

Excuse me;

WTF ARE YOU DOING?

[Hoochie2122]

The poster's description of this video is correct: Phil Hartman was, is, and forever will be THE MAN.

[etks1957]

I was wondering why this past decade has not been as funny as previous ones. Phil Hartman, your genius is sorely missed. I bet God hasn't stopped laughing yet. RIP.

[blackheart444]

the graphics in that game are amazing, if we showed them the graphics from some of the hockey games now, theyd shit themselves lol

[MBrando2404]

Man this is funny, I have this game and I love it.

[tron182]

my friend asked me if I wanted to play NHL 07 yesterday and I thought of this, I spit all the coke out of my mouth and onto his floor.

[Gasoline85]

God, he looks so young!

[holabalooser]

i was BORN ready!

[TheT4xid3rmist]

I'm ready!

[dougdelony]

ten years ago today, Phil... :-( RIP

[00IBF]

Phil Hartman a Canadian doing a video game hockey commercial thats fitting.

[eternalanubis]

I think I just shat myself.

[TheLastLineofDefense]

Good ol' Phil. Godspeed, dude, you rock.

[Hoochie2122]

Awesome! Phil looked so young there.

[PearlJammer07]

Oh wow Phil Hartman. Best known for movies he starred in the 90's. Simpsons character Lionel Hutts. Newradio tv show. Great actor. Didn't know he was in commericaials.

[zemfour]

yeah man, thats funny.

RIP phil.

one of the funniest SNL members ever

[ThunderwingMatrix]

Great ad! R.I.P. Phil Hartman

[DarkBubb1e]

I never had the game, but I do remember the commercial. Pretty awesome.

[richiebear1969]

I miss my youth. I loved Pitfall and Kaboom on Activision. Long live 1982.

[moviehombre]

I remember this commercial, but I never knew it was Phil!!! Great stuff. Thanks for posting!

[fuzzywzhe]

Every single Atari 2600 video game ever made can be placed into a zip file that is under 5 MB. It takes less than 1 second to transfer that file over a typical 100 MB ethernet wire.

[fuzzywzhe]

> thanks, nerd

I know because I work on the XBox project and made over $200,000 a year doing it here in Mountain View Califorinia off from La Avenida drive.

But I'm a *NERD*!! I wish I could be cool, poor, stupid, and uneducated like you, Butthead.

People screw themselves by thinking ignorance is bliss.

[eternalanubis]

Welcome to the internet.

[fuzzywzhe]

> Welcome to the internet.

I was on the internet when in 1990 when only academics were allowed on it, before spam existed. I remember when Sanford Wallace first showed up. I remember USEnet.

I'm dumbing down the internet, everybody else is.

[eternalanubis]

Is that an excuse for your actions? I remember USEnet. I remember Kibology, I remember the Eternal September. You're not impressing anyone.

[fuzzywzhe]

What "actions", idiot?

[MartiniShelby]

I had that Game! Man I loved atari.

[SandyCheeks68]

I remember this and I had the game, hockey was my favorite! As was Phil!

[agentk1986]

Atari 2600 was such a piece of crap, and the games were even worse. Just look at what Atari 2600 did to Pac-Man! Thank goodness Nintendo was able to revive the home console market.

[sneskegagama]

atari 2600 didn't suck just alot of games but most of activisions games and the early atari games like yars revenge,adventure,pong,break out,astroids add centipede.

[datacipher]

don't worry, agentk1986 is another one of those people who spouts nonsense despite his ignornance. The NES came out 3 years before he was even born.

[daryl060761]

Those games required more skill and eye/hand coordination that today's modern brainless games that require less of the player. Don't take my word for it, see the documentary The King of Kong (a Fistfull of Quarters) for more on how the early games are still revered today!

[SirisDeath]

lol

[cybasame]

Still missed.Happy trails Phil.

[Geert365]

from what i could find (quick) on the net, 1977

or 1982 (1982 most likely). Something was confusing somehow.

[mrfireclaw]

woow that old

[TheeStegamanQuirple]

Wow do I miss Phil Hartman. What a comedy legend he has become.

[Megamandrift3]

??????

[superguy97]

omg look at those graphics!!! i want one!

[jeffw1267]

The graphics were cheesy, and I knew it even then, but I played this game all the time. Then recently I downloadad the 2600 emulator and all the roms, and I STILL love this game.

[joshmania7]

lol love it

[nygiantsfan6]

Wow...It's amazing how video games have become so real. I remember this commercial. Me and my friends thought this game was awesome...

[jumpmaster313]

phil hartman just made me laugh so hard, jeez how old was this commercial anyway?

[pkipta]

Probably around 1981 or so.

[pastadam]

man this commercial is awesome

[GhaadCity]

phil hartman was the man!! RIP...

[annadesu]

LOL

I'M REAAADY!!

[JimR541]

I remember this one. Didn't know it was Hartman.

[VisionofOrion]

Phil hartman; comic genuis.  Thanks for posting this! I got a big laugh from it

[momomimimomo]

Hahahahahahahhahahha!

Rest in peace, Mr. Hartman. Rest in peace.

[nrXic]

LOL The end always gets me crackin up.

[timbosforporn]

Activision made some good games for the Atari.

[delfmeek]

i like the game because you can club the crap out of your oponent with your hockey stick.

[grimc0m]

that game looks so 8-bit

[fiskisgod]

8 bit huh? youd have been happy with that on a nintendo?

[johnnykilmore]

ha HAA outstanding

[QueenFoaer]

omg phil hartman is just the bomb and that game is awesome
