* The \'\'\'[[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]]\'\'\' advertisement campaign by Creator/The3DOCompany. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkqWvuM41-0 The Panasonic version of the system]] referred to itself as the most advanced gaming system in the universe and blatantly insulted the popular [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] and UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis consoles by calling them \"baby toys\". For its supposed advancement, the 3DO had for the most part only one controller input, instead of two as consoles had for years at that point. And while it had superb graphics at the time, it was very expensive, costing $700! Few were sold, and it was quickly overshadowed by upcoming consoles.

The entry doesn\'t tell us why the advertisement itself is bad and instead chooses to explain how the 3DO was unable to live up to its hype. Insulting the competition does not qualify the commercial as \"SoBadItsHorrible\". It was a common advertising tactic during the 90s console wars.
