I think that - no matter how much we might wish this to not be the case - we all recognize that Kevin Butler, Sony's VP of Whatever Title He Currently Has, is a fictional character. He's expertly portrayed by actor Jerry Lambert, his speech is written by a clever team of scribes, and the ads are hilarious and rather compelling, but it's not real. Still, we wish it was.
I honestly had no idea. This is like finding out Santa isn't real all over again... I'm completely gutted.

The best thing about the GT5 ad was one of the comments on youtube.

"When they said delay it a month, I said delay it a year."

Kevin Butler's commercials are so damn much better than the abstract ones they started out with. Gotta say though, I haven't seen one that beats the MLB 10: The Show commercial.


"Well played, Mauer!"
I still like this one the best:

STICK!

EDIT: Oops, forgot I went back to the first page and I thought someone posted after me. Sorry.
lol the stick add i almost forgot about that

I liked the first one the most. That last bit put a smile on my face.
I liked how in the second one the guy mimicked the reaction of everyone watching it. "We get it already"
And as for the third one....*shivers* The image of the ladies face as he sniffs her hair, its burned into my mind.

Great ads. I want a giant hanging Kevin Butler picture outside of my window.

Almost sold me on GT5. Almost. I'm steering toward the new NFS Burnout. Who's doing that review, Funk?
Fix'd that for you.

Test cars back...muwahahahah...I have been laughing for the best part of 5 minutes after seeing that.

Oh man, that GT5 one is possibly my favourite advert ever.

When they said 500 cars, I said 'make it 1000'.
When they said realistic damage wasn't possible I said 'make it work'.
When they said they want the test cars back I said 'hehehe!' *drives away*

That is probably the funniest commercial I've seen, it possibly beats out some of the Old Spice Guy's videos.

Dear Sony: I hope you are paying whoever came up with the Kevin Butler ads a very large pile of money. They are genius.
And this. KB is easily one of the best ad campaigns I can remember. Of course, nothing will ever top the Old Spice Guy.
Block! Building Kick! EXPLOSIOOOOOOOOON!!!

Love it.
Wrong Old Spice Guy. He's good, but the "The tickets are now diamonds!" guy is way better IMO. I guess I should've been more clear in my post.

Is there anyone more charismatic in the video game world than Kevin Butler right now? He makes me proud to own a PS3.

Sony does a lot of things wrong and it's going to be their undoing....but I have to say, the advertisements are simply fantastic.

"Where!? Where is this man!?"


"When they said they needed the test cars back, I said, 'ahahahahahahaha'."


Say what you want about, Sony. Those commercials are funny.
