Joel McHale, star of NBC’s Community (thankfully of which wasn’t cancelled by the network), was kind enough to star in a new comedic sketch video to pimp out the Nintendo 3DS. In the video, McHale first demands for a baby panda (who wouldn’t?) for his work promoting Nintendo’s handheld. What follows is McHale kicking interns in the groin, him stating the blatant obvious features of the 3DS, and discussing the importance of a good viral video (“We upload that to YouTube it’s gonna get 40 million hits by nightfall!”).
Each of these promotion videos that Nintendo has been realeasing have been hit-or-miss for me, but it’s a nice change of pace to have someone like McHale throw his comedic value for the Nintendo 3DS. He has the right chemistry to market a product without sounding desperate or corny. Also, he also proves a decent point near the end of video: Hot women can sell anything.
Quick! Someone get a hold of Reggie and tell them that we have Nintendo’s new marketing man.
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
This is infinitely better than the commercials for the 3DS. They are awful and hardly seem as if they would be appealing to young adults. I'm in my 20s, and I would prefer the same commercials they use to target kids, such as the Mario Kart 7 commercial. Cheesy, 90s, but perfect.
The best part was Mario and Luigi walking in as the writers.
Is the intern Jon Brence from SMBC Theater? Because that looks like him.
Women in bikinis in a Nintendo video? I thought this was a family-friendly company?
@Harrison
Yes, Nintendo IS a family-friendly company, and Hooters is a family restaurant. lol
Anyhow, I thought it was a good commercial, made ME want to buy one, even though I ALREADY have one!
