The N64 kid stars in BMW Holiday Commercial

“Remember when wishes came true? They still can!” Classic! And you can still tell it’s a N64 box despite the edits.

The original N64 kid video here. Via Kotaku & N64kids.

Folks, like it or not THAT is America. You can thank the past two generations of brats who raised brats who raised brats. The video depicts ALL that is wrong with our society AND ALL THOSE WHO DEFEND this behavior.

BMW is smart, however, and they know that those jackasses who are buying their cars WERE these same brats - back whenever they were young. Yes, kids that are never told NO.

You know them, they bring their own little brat versions of themselves out to eat, sit them next to you and allow them to scream like that while you pay for a $50 dinner… AND YOU ARE TOLD you cant smoke and cant eat trans-fats if you want to.

F-it, if you can bring your brats out to eat and sit next to me so that annoy me, then I will annoy you and SMOKE you f-in whackos.

i can’t believe my eyes. what i read here. all you critizing people above me your wasting your time telling us about your stupid opinion, no one cares about you. and i bet that no one cares about you in generally, im gunna guess that you guys are the certian type that your whole work hates you. what is wrong with you, you people make it seem as if you never were a kid. the object of the commercial is to show how happy kids are on christmas and getting a BMW could be that exciting too.howerver i guess that some of you idiots dont know what thats liek because your too wraped up in your work life. maybe you should all go get laid and grow a couple of two, from what i see these people are calling these extremly happy children brats! HOW ARE THEY BRATS? there happy and most of all its a home video. omg you people have to be kidding im sick to my stomache from two things, the world has no sense of humor, and that most of the world has a stick up thier ass. to the wierdos above me just do us all a favor and keep your stupid pointless comments to yourself. your clearly messed up in head

Dave,
Take a joke. We all love those little screaming lunatics…who wouldn’t?
Everytime I hear those darling little sh!ts I just want to sit on the toilet and take a crap. Peace be with you Dave.

Personally I think that the commerical is funny! It makes me laugh everytime watching those kids get so excited, screaming at the top of their lungs, rubbing the box as if a Genie were going to appear at any moment. BMW has accomplished their goal, they have everyone doing exactly what they set out to do and that is to stand around the water cooler and talk about their product.

It sounds like torture victims screaming. I simply cringe and want to throw up every time I hear this commercial.

It totally revolts me. Why would I buy their cars when they have such poor taste in ad agencies??

I HATE this commercial.
Whoever says this is a good ad, they need to have their mental state examined.
I have BMW & told dealer (when brought in for oil change) about how horrible this ad is. He says ‘gets a lot of the same reaction - don’t know why HQ is still running it”.

No matter what any of you think or say it won’t change what is happening. This video has helped change the world. Not only has the video been all over TV but I hear that these kids are going to be live on Good Morning America this Friday and Inside Edition is doing a story on them that same night. I can’t wait to see how they turned out. Who knows, they might actually be cool kids…

Omigod, that is THE WORST commercial. It is the “fingernails on a chalkboard,” screeching, awful example of car adverts. Puhleez, somebody tell BMW this is a poor, poor idea. I am boycotting bimmers and selling my Z3.

the sound of it is like the exorcist, except we dont need the green projectile vomit to be appalled. that kid screaming, with the wild look in his eyes, is positively terrifying. he looks like a future serial killer. that this is actually a real video (if that is indeed true) makes it even more disturbing. he is among us.

I hate that little boy enough to kill him. Ideally by shoving that entire ornament filled tree down his windpipe. Hard to believe that before seeing this commercial I was nonviolent. Even the Dali Lama wishes those kids ill.

And I think his parents should be sterilized. With an Xactoblade.

But the spot does effectively remind me what a Nazi car BMWs are. So it’s got that going for it.
