Funny Thread Looks Back on Unhinged Video Game Ads From the 90s

They say "sex sells," but there's subtly suggestive advertising and then there's Nintendo ads from the 90s. In a Twitter thread started by @choctopusyt, people have been sharing their favorite unhinged video game advertisements from the gaming days of yore. Many of them seem to imply that the Game Boy is so entertaining, that one might just be too distracted to have sex with their hot girlfriend. Others are just weird, like a Sega ad that shows a father and son playing a game together under giant bloody text that reads, "domestic violence." Yikes. Keep scrolling for some of the funniest (and weirdest) gaming ads from the thread.
