First Uwe Boll and now Sega of Germany's marketing department.

Germany: Taking the fun out of gaming since 1949. I'm so proud.

MattGS

Man do these puns hurt. Couch of duty, Make-up of Honor?
@Witzbold: I never got why they carry downed buddies like that. Yes it's faster and easier but it essentially turns them into the heaviest flak jacket ever.

Erwin211

@Kirbytheslayer: Punch the Penguin and Win a Prize!: Actually, Witzbold simply means joker. Doesn't necessarily need to be a wise person. In our case he is, of course. Very wise. And I'm not saying that because of the mighty Banhammer. I'm saying it because it's true. Oh yes.

MattGS

Can some body explain the pun that I do not get, please?

thelken

@creid: Its how you would carry a wounded squad member.

The joke is apparently mandy was taken down in the game, and now hes left with the job of having to lug her around while finishing the mission.

Granted you dont need to do that in GS. ;D

Witzbold

I'm confused. It's a game about shooting. The ad shows a guy carrying off a girl. For some reason the caption is a pun on a PS3 game. The caption and picture have nothing to do with the game. What am I missing here?

creid

He's going for the F-U! BAH GAWD!

akibakenji

*Be careful of the difference between "German" and "Merman."

I can't read German, but I like one part of a comment I could read on that site:

Couch of Duty

Germans. Are. Funny!

crashlanding

"Please, no Wii Date Rape jokes in the comments. It's beneath you."

This seems like an opportune moment for a "That's what she said" joke.

@Kirbytheslayer: Punch the Penguin and Win a Prize!: dont forget the bratwurst and sourkrout....or maybe thats poland...eh...

prophet23

@Kai_: Ooh.
Here. I'll help. I'll post some info about Germany I've learned.

*Germany is in Europe, not off the coast of Australia.
*They speak German there.
*Contrary to what you'd assume, Austria, Germany's neighbor, is nowhere near Australia either.
*Nazi is an abbreviation of the term "National Socialist", even though there were no Socialism Doctrines.
*Hitler was a disgruntled artist.
*Witzbold is a German Term meaning "The Wise Fool"
*Parts of World War I and II were fought there.
*German people are famous for their beer.

Hmm..That's all I know. Hope it helps!

Kirbytheslayer: Punch the Penguin and Win a Prize!

@smeee: Where did this come from?

To Whom It May Concern,

Do yourself a favour and Wikipedia "Germany" so you can learn something new to say about the country. You're embarrassing yourself.

Grim is pleased at this ad.

Frank

lol.

KM91

that guy looks yummy, i'd do him :oP

valhum

@Noodle93: Somehow I do not detect love in that comment.

Witzbold

Germans dislike nazis as you may imagine...they will continue to give all germans a bad name so im guessing they enjoy killing nazis..The real issue comes up when you think that the nazi war machine was one of the main sources of income for most german famillies during WW2 so even if you didnt believe in the nazi ideas, some familly member was most likely in the army. Conscription was also implemented during the war, making it really hard to be a young male and not be a "nazi". end rant...just responding to the guy above somewhere.

smeee

Ich liebe deutschland...

Noodle93

@Spiffyness: or hate them, im looking at you toccata and fogue!

prophet23

Couch of Duty! Awesome. Reminds me why I still have hope for good things to come from Sega.

Also, to anyone offended, I really don't think they're trying to make fun of the PS3 or any other games. It's just a bunch of silly puns to advertise a silly game.

slacker164

dammit amanda!

@kuromankuro:

How should I know? I dont play FPS's because once you've played one you've pretty much played them all so I dont see the point

Sparx88

@kuromankuro: Nah, they just ban the game instead. ZING!

Spiffyness

@-EDGE-:

its obvious its the first thing he had in his head

@Kirbytheslayer: Punch the Penguin and Win a Prize!: nah just the sound of a dying flamingo

prophet23

"Seil-end Bill"...

7ucky

@Sparx88:
What is the German take on WWII shooters anyway? Are they satisfied after beating a hard level and seeing in the stats that they shot twenty something nazi's, or are they pissed?

kuromankuro

This reminds me of the old add days when sega and nintendo used to go at it all the time. More sega than nintendo though.

Witzbold

Ich don't get it.

"Please, no Wii Date Rape jokes in the comments. It's beneath you."
Not if I scroll down.
System=Beat
Oh, wait...

Erwin211

so a wii ad is making fun of the ps3? oh, the irony kills me...

jay kay. i have a wii.

HigglyPiggly

You know, the jokes don't really make any sense.

The pun is almost kind of funny, and then you just realize it's random and pointless.

Though I'm sure you're aware of that.

@prophet23: JS Bach?

Kirbytheslayer: Punch the Penguin and Win a Prize!

They're probably happy they were shooting at aliens in the game instead of germans for the hundreth time.

Sparx88

I like how they even make fun of those ridiculous "White Room" PS3 ads. Oh, you silly Germans. You so crazy!

Buttah

It's funny because Sega was insulting its competitors in its hardware ads right before its hardware business went down the drain.

Torgen thinks AAA has lost all meaning

C'mon baby...ima dress you like the Ghost Squad chicks...but less appealing like. You kno you dont have that blocky figure like them...damnit

Dmoney05

I hope to god that's actually how you play the game. Does the woman come included? If I have to find my own then I pass.

AngelMayLaugh

OK, can we at least do some Barry Manilow jokes?

Dammit Mandy, stop playing cooking mama and make me some real food.

Well I was thinking less doughnut and more dick.

weirdwolf

"Make up of Honor" I like that one more...

ffmusicdj

@weirdwolf: How about "Ich bin ein Gamer"?

Erwin211

Ok, got it now. I think I'm retodd did.

thelken

@Erwin211: Yeah personally its the safest way to carry them though. Its a lot easier to carry someone like that than any other way. And unlike dragging you can see where you are going too.

Witzbold

@Erwin211:

Let me try, I just have to finish murdering the English language first.
I'm surprised there has not been an Ich liebe Wii joke.

weirdwolf

@Erwin211:
its when you are killed right after spawning, thats how it works right? you die then spawn after waiting about 10 seconds right?

prophet23

@weirdwolf: People can be more killed?

Erwin211

@Erwin211:
That's kind of the point, it allows you to move fast and keeps your arms free. However carrying a person is always going to slow you down. They have already been injured, worst case scenario they take a bullet and are more injured/killed but you can still keep running. If you take a bullet then you just have two injured people stuck in the middle of a fight. It's kind of the opposite of the theory of land mines.

weirdwolf

It must be a German thing.

cybereality

"Resistance only makes my --"
Oh, no jokes... well, you guys know the rest anyway, haha

fuchikoma

@weirdwolf: I could've said Ich Liebe Wii, but I don't swing that way (the puns don't stop!). I also could've said "Ich bin ein Wii" too but my family already tells me that enough as it is.
That last one was a bit of a stretch, eh?

Erwin211

This just makes me =( at the Wii.

Sailorcancer

How come most of Sega's games seem to be good except for the new Sonic games?

He's your friggin' mascot Sega, get on the fucking ball and learn to polish.

Sabre_Justice

@Astrofox: You are damn straight, they use the best FPS games on their ads, and the chose R:FOM, we should be honored.

qbanboi

Uh this ad is in no way putting the ps3 down... it's just a pun on a ps3 game.

If anything it's a playful homage to a game they think their target audience likes.

Astrofox

You guys dont know THAT much about Germany, now do you?
Are we sick about WWII shooters? Every gamer should be, but no single German I know cares about shooting Nazis, or random Zombies for that matter. If the game is good, the game is good. If it aint, it aint. Every game depicts the fights in those games as pure good against pure evil. So it doesnt matter, what flag they wave. Its just the enemy and you shoot.

About those ads. They really are Hilarious.
The text of those translate as following:

-Make up of Honor (no German word in that one)

-Couch of Duty (you too have all those words)

-Seil-end Bill (the worst of those jokes. Silent Hill reference?!? Seil means rope.)

-Counter Strick (Strick means rope, too)

There you go.

tylerstyle

There you have it. Nintendo copy Sony.

Bumpmap

Probably that game is horrible compared to Resistance:FOM one of the 1st ps3 games that uses like err 10% of the ps3 power.

Losthorizon

Wow, Mandy Patinkin's lost a lot of weight; those Crestor commercials must not have paid much. I hope he's revived; I loved him in "Sunday in the Park with George."

Knukleur

She has no fear of being date raped. Look at the shirt he's wearing, after all :P.

aelfin

The joke was almost as funny as the game itself.

Irenicus-the one and only

...A disgusting attempt at humour, Britain has you licked there Germany.[www.youtube.com]
@tylerstyle: Are all german jokes about rope?

Lordchris915

Genesis Does! Not Nintendon't... wait.

heihachi.vs.kazuya

It looks like the Germans came up with this idea after some of their wonderful beers.

It also looks like he just took that chick out Sam Fisher style, but in that white room he's going to have a hard time hiding the body in a dark corner.
