Bonus weird ad with the PS1 being used to open beer bottles:
Those beer bottles must be tiny
I think you’re confusing the PS1 in the ad with the PSOne which came out later and had rounded edges.
Idk about that myself, but I think going off the picture, the way you open beers on it is the “side of a table” method, and in order to have enough room to do so with the table right there under the PS1, the bottles would have to be about half an inch long rather than about 10 inches (guesstimate of beer bottle length.)
And frankly I’m not sure it’d even work, the edges on the pictured ps1 may be too rounded themselves.
I didn’t think I had to explain my quip, but you did it more comprehensively than I ever could.
Besides, I don’t even understand the comment you replied to, as swapping in any PlayStation model would change literally none of the stupidity of the image.
Well, no one actually opened any bottles on the PlayStation in the picture, so…
Sure, but “those beer bottles must be tiny” and in response “I think you’re thinking of the psone instead of the pictured ps1” both require a similar suspension of disbelief, and so I continued it.
True, true. Carry on my friend
I had an original PlayStation (pictured) and I don’t remember it being a gargantuan monstrosity that was taller than the average beer bottle.
This one’s my favorite.
If we’re talking about weird video game ads, I want to give a shoutout to PS3’s baby ad
Also shout out to the Xbox birth to death ad

The Chris Cunningham mental wealth PS2 ad

And Sony advertising the PlayStation 9 instead of the PlayStation 2
Don’t forget Segata Sanshiro sacrificing himself to save the world.
SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGATA SANSHIROOO! SEGA SATURRRRRN SHIROOOOOOO!!!
Sorry, what were we talking about again?
Oh shit, were we supposed to be fucking our Xboxes this whole time? Is that how you get more games? <unziiiips>

It’s how I got the red ring of death.
That’s why it was so thicc
This is very… upsetting.
I find these ads equally fascinating and cringe. Edgy male teenager humor to the max, though that was the prime demographic they were marketing to.
Meanwhile, the Dreamcast with its controller cord actually coming off the bottom should maybe take a paternity test.
Also, do look out for Tao Feng, but not for the reason the ad says.
So who’s the Dad?
Yes.
