Nintendo Wii – Animal Crossing – City Folk
8 December 2008 by SilkyHere’s another TWA special from the very generous Simon Breadbin. Enjoy!
‘Where’s Sarah? She should be here by now.’
‘Sorry I’m late, I was just designing this t-shirt.’
‘Ooh, yeah! Nice.’
Just what the fuck was Sarah thinking? Her FRIENDS are WAITING for her and she’s poncing about designing a fucking T-SHIRT?!
They’re all LATE now.
Except of course they aren’t, are they? Because this ‘Animal Crossing’, the nauseatingly cutesy game aimed at day-care centres and the mentally subnormal.
If there really existed such a world made of sugar, then there must be an alternate dimension made wholly from puke, and I know where I’d rather be.
Are we to believe that these are the same ‘advert women’ who routinely humiliate their buffoon husbands with their mastery of just about fucking everything, reduced to simpering at each other online and planning a virtual shopping trip?
I hate this advert as it reminds me that one of the last bastions of male immaturity has been hijacked, distorted beyond all recognition, and then sold back to us with a pink fucking ribbon on it.
The game featured in this advert reminds me of a fluffy version of the Ludocvico Technique. It seems Nintendo are trying to condition our minds into believing the world is nothing but Autumnal days sat in the forrest or being wrapped in a blanket with a mug of hot tea.
It’s a world that mirrors our very own. You eat an apple, it eats an apple. You drink tea, it drinks tea.
But, before you know it, you’re mirroring their world.
They have their hair cut, you have you hair cut. They sleep with the lead games designer of Animal Crossing, you sleep with the lead games designer of Animal Crossing. They send their life savings to Satoru Iwata, you… well, you get the drift.
And worst of all, it’s a world in which your pathetic attempts at fashion design – attempts that, let’s be honest, would embarrass a retarded child had they made them – become master pieces for you to show off to your simpering, slack jawed, idiotic friends.
Nintendos vision of the future scares the Warios out of me and it should do you too – or you might end up like Sarah and her friends.
“Oh, yeah! Nice.”
*Shivers down my spine*.
Thanks again to Simon Breadbin for submitting this bad ad.

I know..I came home the other evening to the other half stood on one of those Wi Fit things pretending to be riding a horse. All I could think was:
“Oh my god, I’ve married a moron!”
he wasn’t even embarrassed and wanted me to have a go at looking a complete tit too!
Can’t seee the facination myself!

I find this the most unrealistic advert ever. Theres no way those babes would be at home playing the Wii, theyd be out getting laid. A more realistic representation would be to have fat ugly girls who are too frightened to go out incase they get mistaken for Orks and get slain.

Why on earth they’d want to play online a game that even a 9 yr old probably thinks is lame is beyond me. Surely women of their age actually go out for a coffee instead of virutally drinking one. Or are they so financially hit by them all buying that piece of rubbish that they now can’t afford to go out any more and spend their days designing t-shirts because they can no longer afford to buy a new one. If they want to play in a virtual reality world they could perhaps find one with graphics a little more advanced. It’s insulting that they are even targeting the advert at women, obviously no women were involved in that decision at all.

I actually really like the game; it is quite fun, though I admit not for everyone.

Yep Sarah is a complete twat for dicking around when she said she’d meet her friends, and I totally agree with you Bob. Girls that good looking, with perfect bodies, salon perfect hair and even white teeth have never and I mean NEVER stayed up till 2 in the morning trying to stick a Chainsaw in some poor bastards head, which is what gaming is all about.
PS Does anyone know what the blonde girl is called I really want to Google her (cough)

Yes Jellyfish, Sarah is a complete and utter thundercunt and her tshirt sucks! I think the blond girl should put a chainsaw through her head!
Im off to practise catching sharks now on my recently purchased Animal Crossing.
I love how the blond girls cardigan just hangs off her shoulder at 0:28, 0:37, 0:44, 1:04, 1:08 & 1:35 revealing just enough to get my, bah, i mean male attention. Nintendo are obviously suggesting that if you buy Animal Crossing then you’ll be able to hang out with babes like these, go to the shops, watch fireworks together, design tshirts and with the hidden subliminal suggestion of getting laid. How shamless.
I browsed for the blond girls name but to no avail. All i can say is whatababe

I hate their accents, so much so that I have to switch over or leave the room when it comes on. They remind me a bit of the “Kewl Chicks” from the Viz. I still would, though.

Hmmmm…. Sexy girls…. Gaming… If they would only pour beer over their tight white Tshirts… Maybe then I would buy a shit game like Animal Crossing (I had the misfortune to rent it)…. Nah maybe not… Even worse she now has a boyfriend who looks like his hair was styled by LEGO

It’s a long and involved story involving, amongst other things, my cat, a cake, two cans of tizer, a purple crevat, and a smoking jacket….

There is a new one out for the Easter period and it is so bad & so annoying, I drop everything (which isn’t much) to watch it. Young girl is explaining to her mother how the game is just like real life; she has got herself a job, a mortgage for a new house & is in the process of furnishing her new abode; oh & Katy is coming over later to go on an Easter hunt to find Jesus’ corpse or something. Problem is, in the real world people are losing their jobs, homes & furnishings at an alarming rate, so it’s fucking nothing like real life, is it Sarah?

What a boring looking game.
And I could get a better shirt than that pile of shite on Vic Centre market.

But a least the advert is more like real life, with a fat couch potato lying there instead of having a life…. (My missus has just told me that I have no room to talk, as I have a full size arcade machine, two Xbox’s, a Wii, and two laptops (one is in the bathroom*) THERE IS A REAL WORLD OUT THERE!!!
*well, what else are you going to do while you’re having a shit?

An awful ad for a awful game for a awful consol from a awful company. Wii i the biggest load of garbage ever and the adverts make me cringe.

Like alot of others above have said I cannot see the appeal of these WII games.
They just seem so child based to me; if one of my mates said come round for a game on my WII i would put the phone down and never speak to him again!
I cannot immagine why anoyone over the age of 9 would find any of these games entertaining (mind you im only going by the ones advertised on the adverts detective, animal crossing and the plastic board thing)
Another Ad Hater
Said on the 24 September 2009
I have a Wii but the adverts are so fucking annoying. Look, Nintendo, I really don’t give a flying fuck about Wii Sports Resort!
Also, that Mario Kart advert highlights the one thing I HATE about that game. THE FUCKING BLUE SHELLS!
Another thing, Nintendo have signed up Ant & Dec so be prepared to see some more shit ads.

No one knows Darbo, but i owe her a debt of thanks, she sort of introduced me to someone very special….

CovertJellyfish… Sorry mate I don’t understand… She introduced you to someone but you don’t know her… Do you ???
CovertJellyfish
Said on the 29 September 2009
No, ermm… I guess it could be a bit complex mate, I don’t know her at all. But I first happened across this site whilst trying to find out who she was, if you have a look around I’m sure you’ll piece the rest of the story together….
