Anyone remember the U.S. Legendary Axe commercial?
« on: March 12, 2012, 02:07:43 PM »
The one with the dog that eats the sandwich and that goes "Turrrrrrrrrrrrbooooooooo" ?

It used to be on youtube but it's gone!   Anyone happen to have it on their HDD?  

Would love to see that Legendary Axe television commercial again!


Edit:  now on Youtube:

All thanks and credit to BigT for finding this on GT.

WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS?  I looked just in case my phraseology came up with anything, but no.

This *was* the Youtube link:    but the video is gone. 

Is there anyway to find it in some sort of archive?

Ugh, I just watched it. That was a really crappy commercial. I wouldn't have bought the system if I had seen that back in the day. Maybe it would have been better if the dog was playing the game.

Ahhh thank you so much!   How did you find it?



Well, first I tried to search google for various combinations of turbo grafx commercial and legendary axe...
Eventually, I decided to keep it simple and searched for "turbo grafx commercial dog"

With brilliant marketing like this, it's a real wonder why the Turbob didn't sell better.

You have a point there.

Wow, I never saw this before. But it's just like every other video game commercials from the time. Lots of radical dudes and tude, but very little footage of the game. These commercials used to be so exasperating before the internet. One of your few opportunities to see a new game in motion, and it's just a big tease.

I thought the dog was saying TUUUUURRRBOOOOOO.  Major disappointment.
