I miss console ads being this weird
EmperorHenry, 
I don’t think an ad with this kind of imagery would fly today
lazycouchpotato, 
cRazi_man, If ads were interesting and creative, I might have turned off my adblockers to watch them.
librejoe, This is dumb.
WhoaDang, This isn’t a real PS2 ad. It’s a fake created a few years ago by an influencer named Shy Smith.

secret300, Aww damn, I definitely thought it was real and in some video game magazine
JadenSmith, I find this funny, since I used to hide drugs like mushrooms inside consoles. I figured it was the one place literally no one would think to look. Just unscrewed them, put a baggie inside in one of those empty spaces (there’s always a spot), and put the case back together.
RobertoOberto, PS2 is retro now? Damn, getting old really does sneak up on you.
dumbass, 
Ps3 is starting to be referenced as retro now…
EddoWagt, That one does hurt
dumbass, But also, people wondered why our generation loved taking drugs and being weird fucks…
thatKamGuy, When ‘next gen’ (eg. PS5) becomes the new ‘current gen’, then the old ‘last gen’ becomes retro.
smaximov, It has been for a long time.
Potatos_are_not_friends, I found my Green game boy Pocket and saw the 1989-1996 copyright.
It looks so pristine. 😭😭😭
sp3tr4l, Can someone make a version of this photo, but its acetaminophen and the girl is just up-aged to how old she’d be now?
JudahBenHur, thyroid medication
catch22, 
SEGA!!!
Shardikprime, On the switch you can get the same rush of the times of yore
dgbbad, I heard this.
Etterra, My cousin told me that she ODed so hard that they had to put her in an institution where she spends all day thinking she’s at a rave.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In, Is that institution on a Spanish island?
Tja, Ibitha
Beetschnapps, It’s pronounced “Ibiza”… Batman said so
mox, Welcome to the Third Place (David Lynch)
tigeruppercut, I like the PS2 ad that pretended to be a PS9 ad
NaoPb, What dpes that voice say in the end?
Playstation two, the …
mox, “…third place.”
DoucheBagMcSwag, “Live in your world. Play in ours.”
Duamerthrax, I still have my megatokyo sticker, “Live in your world. Die in ours.” Probably couldn’t be that edgy anymore, but I still like it.
namelivia, 90s SEGA was the OG of this, we need 90s SEGA back
Zink, Coffee?
Tea?
SEGA!!!
OozingPositron, 
Sovl.
DrWeevilJammer, 
“Only Happy When it Rains” automatically begins playing in head
jadedwench, Wait, is that actually Garbage? That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the picture. That Bond music video she did was awesome. World is Not Enough.

Rockstar used to go pretty hard.
b000rg, This game, appropriately, is where I learned there was such a thing as uppers and downers.
deezbutts, All right I’ll ask the dumb question here, what am I looking at? From what I can tell they are tiny empty bags
31337, Those type of bags are usually used to hold illicit substances, and typically only bought by small-time drug dealers.
SoleInvictus, And board game players!
Excrubulent, 
And electronics hobbyists!
humorlessrepost, And toenail collectors!
revlayle, And my sword!
mPony, board game baggies usually have a tiny hole in them, to let the air out when you’re packing the game away. not so great if you’re muleing some molly to your weekly game of Wingspan
dumbass, The Bags that spare buttons come in, or how I used to get all my drugs.
JudahBenHur, awww youve never bought street powders thats nice
phoneymouse, It’s likely they were trying to get the news riled up so they could cause a moral outrage that would attract attention to the game.
grrgyle, When the marketing agency jumps the shark
