Screaming Nintendo 64 Kid

Post by **retrogamer** » Wed Nov 29, 2006 10:43 am

Remember all of the hype a few months ago about the kid who went berzerk on Christmas opening up his brand new Nintendo 64. The same kid who sold that Nintendo 64 on Ebay for a substantial sum of money. Last night I was watching tv and a BMW commercial came on. In the beginning of the commercial they use that video footage of the screaming Nintendo 64 kid and then show someone receiving a BMW as a Christmas gift acting in the same over excited manner. BMW must be paying that kid (now an adult) some serious cash for the use of that footage. I think I'm going to start doing the same thing this year when I open up my Christmas gifts and i'm going to make damn sure I get it on tape. Here is a link to the commercial that I saw on tv last night:

*** Also take notice of how the BMW ad people altered the image of the Nintendo 64 box so they would not have to pay Nintendo a dime in royalties.***

Not sure that you guys notice this, that they doctored the box and change it into a Robot instead of the N64

Which is funny, considering the robot has a huge resemblence to ROB.

It's weird that they are using this internet hype stuff.

Here we're getting a Bruce Lee feat. BMW add. Link if you want to check it out:

(it's something like: do not adapt to the road, be the road)

Maybe we'll get Segata Sanshiro someday too

Wow -- who would have thought?
I can't help but wonder if he got any cash for it? and if so, how much?
