This here's a TV ad for the game "The Adventures of Bayou Billy", shown
before the game first came out.
This ad is really amazing. In this ad, the game gets pitched to us by a kind
of stringy Crocodile Dundee wannabe who, while telling us how awesome the
game is, is busy wrestling a giant rubber alligator, which has the odd habit
of turning into a real alligator whenever Bayou Billy isn't in the shot. The
ad ends with Billy about waist deep in the jaws of the alligator, but even
at the throes of death, he feels a deep urge to tell the viewer how good his
game is. Amazing!
Here are the words:
Wait 'til you get yore hands on Konami's new video game - starring me...that
rajon' Cajun...Bayou Billy! For the first time ever, Konami combines
hand-to-hand combat...with drivin' and shootin...and of course zappin'...in
one swamp-stompin' adventure!
The Adventures of Bayou Billy - for Nintendo.
It all starts when I get out this here swamp. You really gettin' me riled
now!
