Funny Computer Advertisement circa 1998
Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 1:55 pmCan anyone help me? I'm trying to find this advertisement that aired around 1998 (maybe 1999, quite possibly 1997 but I highly think it's 98-99). It advertised a computer chip, but before I get into the commercial... a little background:
Anyway, back then there was an ad campaign by someone (Intel maybe) about how their computer chips were helping solve worldwide crises: rebuilding the ozone layer, stopping logging, helping with world hunger, etc. etc. Some really lofty goals. In the background played some really inspirational music. There was footage of a computer lab where they were assembling the chip interlaced with whatever the narration was describing at the time: trees, a radiation map with emossions being reduced, whatever.
So someone--could have been Sony, Nintendo, Sega, don't know who--made a mock version of one of these ads to show off their new video game system. Anyway, the first thirty seconds or minute of the ad started off exactly like one of the ads I just described, but in the last few seconds, you hear the loudspeaker put the brakes on the inspiration music with: "KCCCHHHHH! uh, we're gonna use the chip for video games instead." Then the last bit was everyone huddled around a video game system (or PC maybe) and one guy yelling, "Blow his freaking head off!"
Can anyone find this ad on Youtube or anywhere? I've been looking for it for years and have had no luck.
