The laugh at the end still haunts me to this day. - sigafoo, on 05/31/2008, -3/+44did anyone else actually enjoy the golfers vs. porn stars one?
- TheWorm, on 05/31/2008, -3/+30Sony's marketing department seems to be constantly shooting the company in the foot.
On a side note though, I think this is a remarkably good ad http://youtube.com/watch?v=irPVI0jTij0
Seeing that ad was the first thing that made me want a PS3. Take note Sony..you succeed in advertising when your ads actually relate to the products you're selling. - andrewacomb, on 05/31/2008, -5/+27WTF?

- waynehoggett, on 05/31/2008, -0/+19That seriously can't be her real head...
- sarchosis, on 05/31/2008, -2/+20PS9 will still kick ass

"Noooooo" - Bologner, on 05/31/2008, -1/+17NOT COOL!
- cbreaker, on 05/31/2008, -5/+19Most of these ads are for foreign (ie non-USA) markets. Take a look at some of the other ads in France and tell me the Playstation ones are any different by comparison. And god damn people, enough with the "THESE PEOPLEZ SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT AND SHOT TO DEATH!!@!!!111" Comments. It makes you sound like a *****.
This line gets me, from the author of this article "It's actually quite insulting to think that the advertisers believe we're all psychotic and perverted" - commenting on the ad showing the thoughts of a teenage male. Well guess what - You're not much of a man if you think slapping that ass or breasts aren't on the mind pretty much all the time.. - scotishstriker, on 05/31/2008, -1/+13WOW that thumb penis is really creepy
- FBombAndy, on 05/31/2008, -0/+11You should see the guy who has penises for thumbs...
- diulei, on 05/31/2008, -0/+10Reminds of the faun from Pan's Labryinth.
- MickJT, on 05/31/2008, -0/+10I clicked through the links they gave me, and read that Sony said it wasn't an official ad, and not by them. Can't these people do their own fact checking?

http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/sony.html - teddyrux, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10As much as I generally agree (and digg similar styled comments), this article was well spaced in my opinion and the amount of pages was appropriate. I enjoyed reading it as opposed to rushing through to get to the end of an incredibly long page. 99 times out of 100 though, I really couldn't agree more.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -5/+14Sony needs to fire whatever ad agency they work with to come up with these, they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot with something really stupid.
- kawaiirobo, on 05/31/2008, -1/+10I have a ps3, but if these adds were all I had to go by I would have never even considered the purchase. I remember the creepy baby one and all the others from that campaign, and all I could think of is "how is this supposed to make me want to buy video games" they are all utter nonsense, I love my ps3, but sometimes I wish Sony would pull their pretentious heads out of their asses.

- fxu1989, on 05/31/2008, -1/+9GAHHHH SAY NSFW NEXT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm ... I would like if it was a girl with thumb-nipples. - bhattsan, on 05/31/2008, -0/+7This was one of their first commercials with a *new* ad agency after they dumped the one that kept shooting them in the foot....
- sugarazor, on 05/31/2008, -0/+7It would have been great if it were for Expedia's new low price on flights to Silent ***** Hill!
- Typhoon2009, on 05/31/2008, -1/+7Where are the mexican dustballs and the black squirrels for the PSP?
Squirrels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hOVgsiKAEs
Dustballs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UbZ8cc_m8 - Diderotten, on 05/31/2008, -2/+8Am I the only one that liked that baby ad? It gave me chills. Then again, I'm into creepy nonsense.
- rdldr1, on 05/31/2008, -0/+6You dont like to read dont you?
"While the various images of this ad campaign were certainly not intended to be racist, they definitely did very little to give people any reason not to interpret it that way. The fault here rested in Sony's naivety to have not thought that people would associate these images of human beings with historical sensitivities rather than the lifeless machines they're supposed to portray." - Maynza, on 05/31/2008, -1/+7I love the last campaign they used for the PS3 and I am pretty sure it was what brought them out of the sales slump.
- inactive, on 05/31/2008, -6/+12Americans are offended by any media that doesn't feature at least one Asian, black, Mexican and white dancing around in a field with a warning sign that says "do not attempt"
As for the rapefaces that are saying omg they are shooting them selfs in the foot because the ads aren't boring and safe. shut the ***** up.

I don't even like consoles but you ***** PC ***** that get offended by anything that moves, then twitter about how offended you are need to shut the ***** up. - ptacnik, on 05/31/2008, -2/+8the fact that there is even a list of these ads shows they are on to something.
- spootmonkey, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5too late at night to watch that right now...no way
- Nappuccino, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Hell yes. "Meanwhile a large male takes a golfer from behind."
The narrator's seriousness made me crack up like no other. - Edrick, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Er, are you implying that the "Nintendo" ad is real and came before the PSP ad? You do know it was just a mock ad that Tim drew up, right?
- coheedcollapse, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Yeah. It's hilarious. City of the Lost was pretty cool as well, although in a completely different way. The white vs black PSP ads were just WAAAAY blown out of proportion.
- traxen, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5I think this banned commercial will speak for itself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DVOzjNmClM - Shenaniganz08, on 05/31/2008, -2/+7i have yet to see a ps3 ad that has made me want to buy the system
- fxu1989, on 05/31/2008, -0/+5Yeah ... that has to be the only commercial that has made me want the product that's being advertised.
And now, I'm a proud owner of a PS3 - theaceoffire, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4Its partly cause he messed up the links (or should I say, Digg messed em up with the ending ")". )

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FYluhd_h8QA - sarchosis, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4Yes
- zzz@tkz, on 05/31/2008, -3/+7One of my favourite commercials, ever.
The Xbox one of the people playing with finger guns in the train station is awesome too (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UF833-lpJDU), and the one where a guy pops out of his mom's vagina and goes flying, transitioning from a baby to an old man then landing in a coffin. "Life is short. Play more." Regardless of the context, an awesome quote :P (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FYluhd_h8QA). - rdldr1, on 05/31/2008, -3/+7The advertising agency that works for Sony Playstation should all be taken out back and executed one by one. The only memorable Playstation ads are ones that offend, horrify, or leave you scratching your head.
- Haoie, on 05/31/2008, -0/+4I remember that too. Wow, hard to believe it's been about a decade now.
- demodawid, on 05/30/2008, -0/+4I love the Scottish accent, but this is scary.
- Juntistik, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3Thats what people look like in Scotland.
- mustang460, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3I did too, actually i thought all the adds were good except the penis one and the i want a psp for Christmas one
I think creepy or off the wall crazy ads are great, much better than the rest of the ads on tv - sugarazor, on 05/31/2008, -3/+6Yeah, it still depicts a white person grabbing a black person by the face and celebrating that "white" is coming. I don't care what country you live in, that's just a horrible, horrible, horrible ad campaign. Why not just have the chick dressed in all white looking all bad ass with the slogan "white is coming;" wouldn't have even raised an eyebrow in terms of controversy, but would have been a cool looking ad.
- UltX, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3I was expecting that one to be in the article. Freaky as *****.
- CrimsonFlash, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3Is it just me, or does the http://www.alliwantforxmasisapsp.com/ website now go to the Haagen-Daze ice cream website?
- MakiMaki, on 05/31/2008, -0/+3Dude you submitted it 1 minute (or less) before me, we were probably doing it at the same time. Dupe filter can't catch stuff like that. Sorry bro, but chill. ***** happens. You're over-reacting.
- TheSnuffster, on 05/31/2008, -1/+4Chris Cunningham, gotta love his work :D
- animefx, on 05/31/2008, -1/+4"Imagine rooms full of beer buddies or baseball families with children sitting around the tube waiting for the game to come back on -- but instead of watching the next pitch, there's silence as this commercial plays."
Funny the author said this about the "Mama commercial", because this is exactly what had happened to us... I remember being at my parents having a good time watching the Cardinals game. This commercial comes on; when it was over there was this uncomfortable silence, everyone just kind of looks at each other. My Dad said "What the hell was that?!?"
I kind of like the commercial now, because of how strange is it. - kawaiirobo, on 05/31/2008, -4/+7the visuals in that commercial are good, but the douche rock song drives me crazy.
