Sorry but i just never saw why people found him so funny. He is kind of cheesy to me. Anyone else think this way? I think the woman from the 40 year old virgin that was on the 360 commercials was way funnier.

Ugh, those commercials with the Old lady from Glee weren't funny at all. They were aimed at families, so there were Full House-type jokes. UGH!

Kevin Butler is dry and sarcastic, it's funny. If anything is corny, it's those other commercials and their poorly written 'jokes'.

Not being a fanboy, just being honest.

I dont exactly think those commercials are funny just FUNNIER than the kevin butler ones. And your not being a fanboy your entitled to your opinion. But she WAS hilarious on the 40 year old virgin.

some people dont catch on to dry comedy like others do....so they call it cheesy and corney..i for one like the old lady from 40 year old virgin....yet i didnt know that commercial was supposed to be funny...because i didnt snicker while watching them at all....i mean im sorry but agree or not the guy got a rival company(which is selling more than both 360 and PS3) to make a commercial for its upcoming game with motion plus just like KB's....even had a false name for him...so you gotta respect it despite you thinking hes corney....

I think the fact that it's corny and self-aware makes those commercials funny.

I love the new marketing ads from Sony, they're brilliant. Even the slogan for the PS3 is quite smart, "It only does everything", which fits in with the whole dry humor, sarcasm that Kevin Butler puts in the commercials. IMO, with shows like "The Office" booming, dry humor is the humor to go with nowadays and KB does it perfectly.

If you don't like dry humor, (like The Office for example), then you're not gonna like the commercial. Plain and simple.

I haven't seen the 360 commercials, but I think Kevin Butler is good. I've seen funnier stuff, but compared to most TV commercials, he's downright excellent.

Hey, the Butler commercials area 9 gazillion percent improvement over their old commercials, let's give them some credit :D

See Jack Tretton is the corny one. Kevin Butler doesnt try to be funny in annoying fake cliche way, he just realizes what he says is either sarcastic, lame, or whatever and makes it stand out. He has a great personality to make the jokes funny. "Man Furismo Jive" :P.

hes not always funny, but sometimes young viewers wont understand his jokes, and i feel you are a young viewer.

like the mlb 10 commercial where he said "im not even ALLOWED in mexico" was funny if you know what hes referring to, the commercial where he ignores the girlfriend was hilarious because some of us have been in that situation, they are smart jokes meant for smart people. also how the grandma used to play with a stick was funny too, also when he was making fun of Natal with him flailing his arms like a crazy person was also funny.

I'll say this. I'll take ANY one Kevin Butler commercial over a thousand of those other horrid Playstation commercials that played over and over again prior to this new campaign.

The only thing I do crab about is when Nigeria got all pissy about the hacker/spammer comment in that internet guy commercial. Then got censored to "that's how World War One got started" (guess there's nobody alive to get pissy about that huh?)

Sony should've had the balls to stand up to it and not "cave". Like 95% of my hacker bait spam comes from Nigeria! I mean really, who is the Nigerian government kidding here?:lol:

That's why they're so great. They're corny to the point that they're great. Also, Nintendo and Microsoft can't put out a mildly tolerable commercial.

He's actually funny, and the only one that has a natural animation about himself. Kinda like how Dave Chapel is naturally comedic. Similar trait, but more of a corporate idiot type. (love em)

just had a look at those 360 commercials with jane lynch, they're so lame. I didn't even consider the thought of laughing. I'm with Scianix-Black, Kevin Butler is hilarious.

I gotta say, they're way better than the Xbox commercials.

At 299, it's never been easier to pick up an Xbox 360.At 299, it's never been easier to pick up an Xbox 360.At 299, it's never been easier to pick up an Xbox 360.

Jane Lynch is funny and her best movie certainly was not '40-Year Old Virgin'. Her best role was in the movie 'Role Models'. Might want to look that up and watch it. The reason why she wasn't funny is because they didn't let her write any of the comedy bit at all. And it wasn't even comedy really because of that. So the PS3 commercials are better. Now if Microsoft would have let her come up with her own stuff, it would be a different story.

Who really cares if anyone likes Butler if they are a PS3 fanyboy. I've been Playstation since the first one, have bought/sold Wii/360. They're just not my type of machine, not my style. Besides, everyone knows that games on PC are better. It's upgradeable. The only place where consoles fail honestly.
