- dignan2681, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I do love the tag line and think we should use something like that now.
"Playstation 3 - Your parents are now broke." - crazyfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Here is the entire commericial

Why did Nintendo put two stereotypical people, one nerdy and the other non-nerdy?
The nerd is retarted lol - ScottBookG4, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My brother and I got an NES as an Easter gift back around 1987. Our parents couldn't hook it up. We hooked it up ourselves. We should rap about it.
- ThePikey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No rap is a good rap without the lyricist saying "Wiggy-wiggy"
I love the tag, "Your Parents help you hook it up." I think we need more of those informative phrases nowdays. - sir_zman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was funny as hell. 1 digg for you.
- t.toe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it's true! my parents did help me hook it up! but after watching them once, I learned how, and they forgot. I hook up my own video game systems now... but those were the days...
- LaPistola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOVE it! Great digg.
- vickerto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man, this brings me back to the days of The Snorks, The Mun-chee-chees and You Can't Do That On Television.
- RatBagu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AWESOME!
- pepgma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am not really sure it is the first commercial. I just found it like that. Old news? uhmm. Maybe you are too deep in to this already.
- avg_bear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Whoa! Nice Graphics!" I completely remember this, and recall thinking it was RAD.
- tehLazyPirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0does anyone happen to know if the bomberman 64 commercial is floating around out there... that to date, in my opinion, is THE best video game comercial ever... i'd really like to have it... ^_^;;
- jodamiller, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, that rap was very wIeird.
- ewingsquadron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ugh, if I see another one of these "Hey, look I found an old. . ." diggs, I'm going to scream!
This is nothing that couldn't be found on retrojunk.com, people! This isn't news! - dogbyte_13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0did gamers really look like that back then?? i know i didnt.
- salamando, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The sad thing is, I remembered the lyrics to the song before the page loaded.
-jg - MonstersAGoGo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoa ... I'd like to get my hands on that game.
- pepgma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn, I made it on popular, I freaking can't believe it. Thanks all.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought the first Zelda commerical was the one that featured a guy yelling "Zelda!" over and over, without ever featuring any gameplay footage.
- C0demaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ROTFL....Sweeeeet...that was kick ass.
- KNon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They left out the ending! It went something like "The Nintendo Entertainment System- Your parents help you hook it up!"
- isewise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome. Nice graphics?
- AlteredLogic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think the "your parents help you hook it up" comment was actually just a marketing ploy to parents of younger children. that way the parents can be all "Godddamnit I can help him hook it up!" and go out and buy one so they can feel like a good parent.
- Mac_Dre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAHAH this is tight, those kids are kickin it mad thizz you know?
- geektron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Zelda is teh roxr!
- dtatom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Wow these graphics are awesome"?!? That is hilarious!!!!
- stutterbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Your parents help you hook it up."
....Bwahahaha! - Psykus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Even better...
Super Smash Bros (N64)

"So happy together..." - Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0So nintendo was actually promoting the idea of cool kids hanging out at nerd kid's houses just to play zelda. That's what I call unity.
- Dgen_X, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0man...just last night I was thinking "boy, nintendo's commercialls have gotten a bit better over the years" ('Who Are You?' is much better than 'Your parents help you hook it up!') but now it's proven...
overall...great diggiee wikki wee - TVarmy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Intense. The best part is when the nerdy kid tries to rap in the backround and makes a noise like "wiki wiki wheee!"
- Thytor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just shows the change in the way gaming was looked at between now and then... You used to have to be a nerd to game now all the "cool" people do
- drewbie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm amazed nobody has commented on the nerd's bolo tie...
- illdourmum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lmao
- trunkster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah they don't have to say "Your parents help you hook it up" anymore, now that kids know more about electronics then their parents.
- monkeybutler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What the hell is up with gravity only effecting the glasses of nerds?
- KNon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"did gamers really look like that back then?? i know i didnt."
Buy some nintendo powers from 15 years ago. The answers are yes. - thecrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My buttons are not black either.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AH! I see that kid pushing up his glasses in some of those wacked-out Flash videos, no I know where it came from, thanks!
- techjunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Awesome... Love it!
- LaterLater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm 26 years old, and it's sad that I remembered the rap lyrics. I honestly did. I even remember another Zelda commercial where some guy was talking really fast about Ganon's "bad" creatures. I think he had a curly afro. Does anybody else remember? Always a gamer, will be in line on the 11-22 for 360!
- sarasweet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's funny because it's true... it is really rad.
- valan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0anyone notice on the zelda title screen it says "legend of zelda sold separately"
- jervana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that game was pretty cool. loved the gold cartridge.
- gijoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Those are some mad rapping skills
- chadbrekke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LaterLater,
I think that this might be the version that you are thinking of. This is the only Zelda commercial that I remember seeing.
Zelda Commercial 2
http://www.retrojunk.com/details_commercial/3/ - meshgiath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0AH yes, the days of "Rad". /puke =-P
- Codeboo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If I would have needed to rely on my moms help to hook my NES up to the TV, I would have been ***** long ago and probably wouldn't be posting this right now.
- craigtheguru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I agree with disposablerob, I thought the first commercial had a guy creeping around a fake castle set yelling "Zelda!". He also yells creature names like "Octoroks!" and "Teekies!", although Teekie isn't actually a Zelda creature. Someone, somewhere, please capture this commercial!
- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0well ewingsquadron, I didn't know about retrojunk.com -- Thanks
This is awesome though, don't be such a jerk about it if you don't like it don't digg it. It's that simple. -
