GAH!! Parents!!
Amirite?

WUUUUUAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!





Nintendo.

My parents were always really supportive of me cranking it and fighting earwax, so I can't really relate.

Well, there's the most 90s thing I've seen today...

What the fuck do parents know about doing handstands in the Los Angeles river

Teenage rebellion through bloodless Mortal Kombat

I think this was in response to the Sega ads where people unnecessarily screamed "SEGA!" in your face.

NO ADULTS ALLOWED!

Nintendo is just plain adorable when it tries to be edgy.

I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD.

I'm feeling left out now.

My dad was the one who got me into video gaming, introduced me to Doom...and taught me the value of firing lines and killzones.

You're better than they are because they don't play video games and they're old.

Hey, they worked hard to buy you all those fancy video games.

Show some gratitude.

It's clearly Liu Kang fighting Baraka, but both corners of the screen say Kung Lao.

Is this the sign that I've finally slipped over the edge?

Raiden. Scorpion.

There is only kung lao.

I did little else with my free time in high school but play video games. If only I'd seen this commercial then, I would have realized what a fool I was being and would have paid more heed to my parents.

What could be more punk and extreme that playing Mariokart with the volume turned up to 11?

Historical sidenote: Nintendo is Jimmy Anchower's console of choice. Maybe the marketing did work.

Bonus points for using Butthole Surfers as the backround music.
