After a dozen too many viewings of Wii’s first commercial for Animal Crossing: City Folk, I have HAD IT! with the two glassy-eyed blondes who act vaguely excited about their big trip past the river bend to watch cartoon fireworks. Then I realized mine was a particularly self-loathy type of exasperation, because superficially I’m pretty much just like these women. So the only logical next step was to insert myself, uninvited, into their exceedingly mellow cross-country chill sesh. Watch the original commercial here, then press play below.

hahaha, I hate this commercial so much, too. The game seems completely and utterly pointless. Loved the snarky remark about the woman using the sexy voice about going to see the fireworks.
I thought I was the only one who hated these commercials. I loathe the other Animal Crossing: City Folk commercial, where she decides not to go fishing but shopping instead. That voice of the woman with the controller for some reason drives me insane.
I feel bad for the woman without the controller. How exciting to sit there and watch someone else play this lame looking game.
Is that Jordana Spiro in the Animal Crossing commercial?
annie, you are freaking hilarious! you should have done the “no on prop 8″ musical.
i have th game its soo fun i got a basement now!
Thank you! I hate those commercials! And I find it hard to believe there’s a market for this terrible game. Oh, wait, I forgot about the stoners.
For the record, I love all versions of Animal Crossing, and I’m not a stoner. I just like video games that don’t require me to have any real gaming skills or hand-eye coordination. Because I pretty much have neither.
BWAHAHAHAHAH! Annie you rock my world!
I love Animal Crack…not so much the commercials though. Long live Animal Crack, I mean Animal Crossing.
Please tell me that this is the first of MANY Commercial Watch installments! Also: Killer boots, man!
I am so glad someone else noticed this insanity. It makes me die inside too.
Wow, those are pretty close to the snarky comments -I- make every time I see that stupid commercial. Seriously, if those vapid, harmless blondes show up on my TV pimping their vaguely creepy game one more time, I’m putting a foot through my TV. Or at least throwing Chex Mix at it.
i hate those commercials too! especially when one girl asks the other if she wants to go fishing, and the girl replies, “i kinda did that yesterday”. ok, either you did or you didn’t go fishing. you can’t just “kinda” do it. grrr. and the fake fireworks enthusiasm is annoying. “are you kidding?” yeah, awesome. wow. i find myself getting really worked up over dumb stuff like this.
I heart anything that Annie is in… she is too funny and says exactly what I am thinking… It’s true ya’ll!
I love you, Annie. You are so strange.
