  • Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44Wow. I remember this a lonnnng time ago.....prolly in between episodes of "Hey Dude" or "Salute Your Shorts" on Nickelodeon.
    • tony134340, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Geek fact: The Wizard was pretty much a commercial for Mario 3. One of the dudes from Salute Your Shorts and the girl from the Wizard are in a band called Rilo Kiley a couple ex-child stars.

      I was unsure of the time span you mentioned so something I came across while googling. Yeah, I'm bored this morning.
    • kyoung989, on 10/12/2007, -13/+7I think there should be a "Nostalgia" section on Digg for these topics. They're fun to watch, but I'd much rather have CURRENT events hit the front page.
    • Bean945, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I was there.
    • tehkain, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4@kyoung989
      This video isn't even posted in the right area(should be in videos). So you want another section?
    • ZWash300, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I don't seem to remember Mario being a fascist dictator...
    • shm0edawg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@tony134340

      Yeah Donkey Lips is in that band! hahahahaha.....
    • daridave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, me too.

      Still remember it, however in french (live in Quebec)... they said "l'union fait la force", which translates to "union is power". Being a kid and loving Mario so much back then, I followed that line as if it was a friendly tip (and it is), ahaha...

      Anyway, man that game was and still is good. awesome. lemme go play...
    • safacles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Anyone else notice all the kids in this commercial are white? Doubt that could fly today.
  • TimDub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Classic. One of my favorites, next to the creepy guy in the dark halls yelling "Zelda!?"
  • tony134340, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5Awesome. That was back when Nintendo were gods. Not to say they're not still awesome but then they remained mostly unchallenged. Not that the other consoles sucked, but there was no stopping the Nintendo train. I love retro-video game commercials. They're so bad.

  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+52How dare you distort the phrase "title says it all." I'm on to you.
    • exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30the subject of which is contained in the aforementioned heading
  • CaptShmo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15They should do a sequel commercial to this for mario galaxy.

    • scuzzman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3*wrong thread...*
    • flazz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3no, right thread, wrong website, this site is full of nerds, and the 80s we're the promised land for nerds.
  • NipGrip, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15That was totally tubular and radical to the max.
  • MosaicM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mario!

  • Brandondork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember that commerical, and buying it... back when life was simple
  • hammerton1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was seriously an awesome commercial but I just hate... that guy in the blue shirt at the VERY beginning, man...just don't like the way he looks.
    • EnigmaEndurer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, I have to admit that guy is annoying.
  • traviscaruth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1*dugg*
  • thekauf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is weak. They left out the "all you had to do was ask" part.
  • MatthewDoucette, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Crazy how clearly I remember this...
