Commercial from 1999. Recovered from VHS. Here is a previously uploaded German version of the same ad: • Video Cropped with Mpg2Cut2, and thus the cut may not be perfect.
Well, in the United States, Toy Story 2 was released on November 24th, while Hollywood Boulevard released it on November 13th, and Donkey Kong 64 was released on November 22nd in the same year the movie and game was released.
Wow of all the places to find an old Lazy comment... Haha Couldn't agree more though. Life was so simple back then and n64 helped those hours after school last forever! Been a fan of yours for years man! It was nice spotting this relic of yours on a less spooky side of TH-cam ;)
Never too late. I just recently bought this game at a local antique mall and truth is I’m having a blast! I realized you posted this comment 11 years ago and I would’ve agreed and thought it was too late but it’s truly not!
I remember getting this game when I was 6 years old. I remember how happy and excited I was picking it up from EB back in the day. The shiny new box with the art and the manual.
Me, too!!!!! This is one Hilarious Donkey Kong 64 Commercial EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Naminski well it makes sense now since Nintendo and universal are teaming up to make the Nintendo theme park at universal studios Orlando and Hollywood and they’re working on the animated remake on the super Mario bros movie (Hopefully they’ll do it right than 1993’s super Mario bros Movie)
Robert Jindra But that wouldn't help increase sales. It's the same shit as blast processing AKA slighter better Hz than the snes, even though the snes was superior in terms of tech in every other way. Marketing bruh.
A bug that got fixed by adding more ram. Regardless something in the game kept crashing cause the system didn't have enough memory. So they're technically right.
I laughed when the people slipped on the banana peels as soon as they were running. Also, the “Look what they did to my taxi!” part, cannot get enough of that! And they started wreaking havoc around the whole neighborhood when it came to Donkey Kong, all the kremlings and a lot of doomsday devices!
Why does it seem like everything was more creative and better back then? And I KNOW it isn't just nostalgia telling me that. Everything is so bland now.
I know! I wish commercials were like this again! There are some creative commercials out there today, but maybe someday, commercial styles like this one will make a comeback.
How this Commercial alone isn't considered Meme Royalty will forever boggle my mind. All time Favorite Game. All time Favorite Commercial for my Favorite Game. Forever hoping for a Remake 🙏
I remember getting DK 64 for the first time when I was younger. It didn't came with the expansion pack and my mom ended up driving all the way back to Target because she was that eager to play it lol
Usually most video games don’t use any elements from a cartoon show based on said video game...but not this game. I love how they incorporate the crystal coconut from the tv show in this game.
One of my favorite video games for the N64! Such an awesome and creative game! I was always best at Tiny Kong! Sure, beating it took time, but it was fun! I remember during the holidays that year it came out, my brother and I got the game for Christmas and we screamed and ran around the house and immediately started playing. This game REALLY meant a lot to me! XD
If I remember correctly the average price of a newly released n64 game was 59.99, and this game was 70 instead, so they still added the cost of the expansion pack onto the bundle, it wasn't "included for free".
This game was part of my childhood. I always been a huge fan of nintendo 64 and Donkey 64 and I always will. Btw does anyone when the game first came out in the United States of America.
I love old school Mario commercials like this too! Especially DK. And just like music, the 1980s were Mario’s biggest decade! Matter fact, video games started around that time.
The awesome thing about this game is that it can still be considered simply massive. Seriously, they throw so many things at you at once it's almost overwhelming. I ran through it a while ago and it took me a good 25 hours just to reach the end, let alone get 100%. Few games do that nowadays.
Ah my childhood game we take turns playing our main kong to get 100% completion my main was Diddy Kong while my younger sister main was Donkey Kong and middle sister was tiny kong

This commercial would not fly today
How dare they not tip a taxi driver!
That is true, especially since we live in a post-9/11 society where commercials like this would be seen as insensetive.
It wouldn’t fly today because they would say “why did you make a commercial for a 20 year old game?”
Monke
It would be considered racist
Is it because of the raise of taxes nowadays?
I miss commercials like these
What's wrong with our new commercials
@@rolando90sToo sanitized and PC; no more edgy Bess and fun.
@@rolando90sToo loud, bland, sanitized, desperate to be trendy, uncreative, and repetitive.
"Look what they did to my taxi!" XD
Lord Vader It almost sounded he said Look what they did to my backseat.
"They didn't even tip me!"
Nicholas Pozega “And now, this”
Heaven Help us All.
Narrator (Don Lafontaine): Donkey Kong is back, in an adventure so big, it’s taking the country by storm!
If only epic commercials like this were made again
Fun Fact, this game was released the same day that "Toy Story 2" was released in theaters.
Fire Dust as a kid you would go to the movies and after buy this
wow
Fire Dust yeah that’s why they’re extremely successful during the holiday season of 1999
Well, in the United States, Toy Story 2 was released on November 24th, while Hollywood Boulevard released it on November 13th, and Donkey Kong 64 was released on November 22nd in the same year the movie and game was released.
@@George-zk4nv Good point.
THEY DIDINT EVEN TIP ME ( throws watermelon at taxi )
(News reporter) And now, this. (He ducks while looking away, and fruit being thrown against the wall)
So that is what he said. As a kid, I did not understand what he said at first.
(Priest) Heaven help us all
I never got to play this :( wish i had i bet it was awesome. I miss the good old days when n64 was the best thing in the world !
Wow of all the places to find an old Lazy comment... Haha
Couldn't agree more though. Life was so simple back then and n64 helped those hours after school last forever!
Been a fan of yours for years man! It was nice

You still could.... it's on the Wii U Eshop for 9.99
You & me both. The N64 holds a special place in my heart. I even wish today was the 90's again!
I remember getting this game when I was 6 years old. I remember how happy and excited I was picking it up from EB back in the day. The shiny new box with the art and the manual.
“I never seen anything like it. There’s fruit everywhere.”
“Look what they did to my taxi!”
I remember I used to watch this commercial 100 times as a kid...

I like the Mario 64 got milk commercial
I loved the game and it never gets old like my others. Why dont they make commercials like this anymore?!
Oh man! This commercial is such a priceless classic! I would love a sequel to this for the nintendo switch.
@usuario No, I meant to say I would love a sequel to Donkey Kong 64 for the switch.
Or a remaster of the game for the next gen Nintendo console
long live the 90's indeed my friend, good times
RIP DON we all miss you and your voice
Hey look, its the clock tower from Back To The Future
This Donkey Kong 64 for Nintendo 64 commercial was filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood, the world's largest movie studio and theme park.
+Naminski Nguyen Yeah and you can see the BTTF Clock Tower, The Bates Motel, and many other iconic movie locations there!
fletch40 yeah it's a pretty cool place
Hailey
Naminski well it makes sense now since Nintendo and universal are teaming up to make the Nintendo theme park at universal studios Orlando and Hollywood and they’re working on the animated remake on the super Mario bros movie (Hopefully they’ll do it right than 1993’s super Mario bros Movie)
Actually, the reason the game needed the Expansion Pak was because the game contained a bug that randomly crashed the game, and the Pak fixes it.
Robert Jindra But that wouldn't help increase sales. It's the same shit as blast processing AKA slighter better Hz than the snes, even though the snes was superior in terms of tech in every other way. Marketing bruh.
David Pedersen No need to get snippy. I was explaining the truth.
That's bullshit! The game requires the expansion pack to create better graphics, that's all.
Trurl no that’s the actual reason he not kidding
A bug that got fixed by adding more ram. Regardless something in the game kept crashing cause the system didn't have enough memory. So they're technically right.
Lol at the pineapple flying into the fountain, that was so random!
The game is finally coming to the Virtual Console. :D
ljzero fernandez For Nintendo Wii U.
Naminski Nguyen yep.
ljzero fernandez let's hope it comes to the switch, I'd love to play it on the go.
@@optimusN64 we still gotta hope for it though.
Look what they did to his TAXI!!!!!!
I laughed when the people slipped on the banana peels as soon as they were running. Also, the “Look what they did to my taxi!” part, cannot get enough of that! And they started wreaking havoc around the whole neighborhood when it came to Donkey Kong, all the kremlings and a lot of doomsday devices!
Lol you gotta love the Indian guy!! "Look what they did to my taxi!" LMAO
I don't know that's a little bit. How do i say it? Racist to let an Indian be a cab driver
Alexander Willick Please tell me you’re being sarcastic
@@alexanderwillick4521…so no one’s going to discuss the accent?
Why does it seem like everything was more creative and better back then? And I KNOW it isn't just nostalgia telling me that. Everything is so bland now.
I agree, the world seemed so much more creative and lively back then. Fuck everything after 2009 xD
that's illegal back then had more color and something too live for now it's nothing to me atleast so sad :(
Unknown because you were a child and had no job (assuming you have one now), bills, debt, and a drinking problem.
I know! I wish commercials were like this again! There are some creative commercials out there today, but maybe someday, commercial styles like this one will make a comeback.
finchborat you mean like this: th-cam.com/video/HR8MgHilI5Y/w-d-xo.html
See how easy it is to not be fucking lazy and look for things?
"And now, this."
*bananas randomly fly out of nowhere*
One of the best Christmas i had was when i got the dk package with the green N64. And played it on our big brand new 32 inch TV.
"I'd like to say the situation under control... But it isn't." lol
How this Commercial alone isn't considered Meme Royalty will forever boggle my mind. All time Favorite Game. All time Favorite Commercial for my Favorite Game. Forever hoping for a Remake 🙏
Man, marketers were paid way too much in the 90s and none of them had ANY idea how to market games.
Heaven Help us All.... I love this commercial so much, I saw it and remember yelling, OMG I NEED THIS...
They need to make more commercials like this, back when video game commercials were worth watching
I remember getting DK 64 for the first time when I was younger. It didn't came with the expansion pack and my mom ended up driving all the way back to Target because she was that eager to play it lol
Two-Words: Nostalgia-Overload!
This game is awsome
Andrés Rodelo LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY TAXI! Ugly ass man.
THIS IS HOW you do a video game commercial!
Any commercial
Man I love this game and commercial.
"Look what they did to my taxi!" that's not stereotypical at all!
"Look wut dey did to miai Taaaxi!"
i cant believe they time traveled to get live footage in ferguson.
Coal Train-Magrath scratch that its baltimore
Yeah. How kind and gracious
Minneapolis
I miss ads like this, much better than grubhub's boogie
I can't believe Donkey Kong was allowed to do this all year May 2020 to present fellas....
daaaaaamn! i completly forgot about this commercial. it was funny as when i watched this as a kid.
"better graphics"
they got that one right lol
AND HE DIDN'T TIP ME!!) slams watermelon on his taxi)

Donkey Kong 64 game is came out November 24th,1999!
"Look what they did to my taxi!" i lol'd
“They didn’t even tip me!” (Then he throws watermelon at the taxi)
Usually most video games don’t use any elements from a cartoon show based on said video game...but not this game. I love how they incorporate the crystal coconut from the tv show in this game.
This is one of the coolest an most nostalgic things I've ever seen. I only saw this commercial once and couldn't help, but want this game. :)
1. You managed to save the commercial from one of the best games ever
2. You saved it while recording the Pokemon League series.
Have my children.
...the good old days.
When Rare was just awesome.
Sega: "Look at what they did to my Crazy Taxi!"
I think I saw that taxi guy is inThe Amazing Spiderman as dr. ratha. And that guy that owned the park in Jurassic World.
Damn he's in a lot of stuff
Damn , 20 years ago.
Nostalgic? Yes. But what makes this ad awesome is that the voice over is made by voice over legend Don Lafontaine!
Oh yeah!
"We believe thar are 5 perpetrators!"
I've never seen anything like this, there's fruit everywhere! Look what they did to my taxi!
One of my favorite video games for the N64! Such an awesome and creative game! I was always best at Tiny Kong! Sure, beating it took time, but it was fun!

They really need to remake this game since it was da best donkey kong game on N64
factz
I miss commercials like this.
I still remember this.
If I remember correctly the average price of a newly released n64 game was 59.99, and this game was 70 instead, so they still added the cost of the expansion pack onto the bundle, it wasn't "included for free".
This was the game that completely defined my childhood.
This game was part of my childhood. I always been a huge fan of nintendo 64 and Donkey 64 and I always will. Btw does anyone when the game first came out in the United States of America.
November 22nd, 1999
I still miss the 90's
Ditto!
This game was my childhood i hope they make a remake of this game
If this gets onto the Nintendo Switch, I would be so excited!
I have this ad on a VHS tape
best donkey kong game of the series
All the great games come out in November.
LMFAO "Look what they did to my taxi!!??"
This commercial always cracked me up. xD
I love this game. I remember how it came out the day before my birthday. That was a great b-day.
I love old N64 video game commercials LMAO.... They WEre Freakin amazing :D
I love old school Mario commercials like this too! Especially DK. And just like music, the 1980s were Mario’s biggest decade! Matter fact, video games started around that time.
Man I was 4 years old in 1999. I really would’ve liked to have gotten in on the hype when it was released.
Same bro I was only 1. Lmao
@@JohnLucPicard98 I did get Diddy Kong Racing that Christmas and that blew my mind!
25 years and no sequel to this game.
That game was pretty beast for its time. = )
First Christmas Present of 1999(AND GOT A NINTENDO 64 TOO FOR Christmas! Nostalgia)
luved this game when i was a kid!!!XD
Fun Fact: That's the Hill Valley Courthouse from Back to the Future at the beginning of the commercial.
This commercial is just the DK Crew rampaging through a city.....
Theres fruit everywhere
tiny and lanky! my favs :D in this game
Can't wait till November 24 when this game comes out ;)
The awesome thing about this game is that it can still be considered simply massive. Seriously, they throw so many things at you at once it's almost overwhelming. I ran through it a while ago and it took me a good 25 hours just to reach the end, let alone get 100%. Few games do that nowadays.
They brought in the military to stop DK? That's cute.
Love these old ads!
Me too, dude!
And now for something completely different.
*DK Rap*
Yeah, its gonna come sooner or later :)
Hey, did anyone else notice the Screw Attack logo behind the news anchor?
