It’s so easy to hate, you know.
Just take a look at hecklerspray‘s regular Badvertising feature, in which we take commercials presently oozing from your television screen and vehemently assert how rubbish they are. It’s a non-stop loathefest. And we’re tired, people. Tired.
So. We’ve decided to take a short break, see. Instead of showing you something lousy, we’re going to treat you to what is hands-down the best commercial ever made.
This is a 1992 advert for the Nintendo game Legend Of Zelda, and we’ll be damned if it doesn’t have the catchiest pop number this side of The Monkees, a strangely androgynous lead character battling all sorts of monsters, a crazy caged Princess and a dance routine that – in any sane universe – would be sweeping club floors nationwide.
What is actually happening in this commercial? We have no idea. Enjoy.

OMG, so that’s how they played games in the old days!!! Looks very realistic, and for the SNES no less!! Lol…
It seems that commercials for games without ingame footage, was really popular those days.
I can already imagine people dancing like that on the streets and in clubs.
